29、icle size distribution The particle size distribution shall be determined on samples taken at the point of manufacture using the method of test given in EN 12902. NOTE 1 The particle size can decrease during transportation and handling. The particle size distribution shall be described by either: a)

30、 effective size : (d10) with a maximum deviation of 5 %; uniformity coefficient : (U) which shall be less than 1,5; minimum size : (d1) with a maximum deviation of 5 %; or b) by particle size range and by mass fraction of oversize and undersize particles according to application. The maximum content

31、s of oversize and undersize shall be a mass fraction of 5 % for application of the product as a filtration layer in multi media filters and a mass fraction of 10 % for use in single media filters. For use as a support layer, maximum mass fractions of oversize and undersize of 15 % are acceptable. Se

32、e A.2.3 for examples of available particle sizes that are used. NOTE 2 Other values can be necessary for certain applications. 5.3 Density 5.3.1 General The density of garnet varies with the mineralogical form. Garnet with absolute density lower than 3,8 g/cm3should not be used in multi media sand -

33、 garnet filters to prevent intermixing of media. 5.3.2 Bulk density loose Almandite: The bulk density loose shall be in the range of 2 150 kg/m3to 2 250 kg/m3. Andradite: The bulk density loose shall be in the range of 1 850 kg/m3to 2 000 kg/m3. 5.3.3 Bulk density packed Almandite: The bulk density

34、packed shall be in the range of 2 350 kg/m3to 2 400 kg/m3. Andradite: The bulk density packed shall be in the range of 1 950 kg/m3to 2 250 kg/m3. 6 Chemical properties This European Standard specifies the minimum purity requirements for garnet used for the treatment of water intended for human consu

35、mption. Limits are given for impurities commonly present in the product. Depending on the raw material and the manufacturing process other impurities may be present and, if so, this shall be notified to the user and when necessary to relevant authorities. DIN EN 12910:2013-01 EN 12910:2012 (E) 7 Use

36、rs of this product should check the national regulations in order to clarify whether it is of appropriate purity for treatment of water intended for human consumption, taking into account raw water quality, contents of other impurities and additives used in the products not stated in this product st

37、andard. Limits have been given for impurities and chemical parameters where these are likely to be present in significant quantities from the current production process and raw materials. If the production process or raw materials lead to significant quantities of impurities, by-products or additive

38、s being present, this shall be notified to the user. The chemical composition varies with the mineralogical form. Typical data are given in Table A.1. NOTE 1 Because of the nature of the occurrence and production of garnet, a small proportion of other minerals, in particular silica sand and ilmenite

39、, can be present in the commercial product. After filling, washing and commissioning of a filter system producing drinking water, garnet should not increase the concentrations of chemical parameters (see 1). NOTE 2 Water extractable substances, determined in accordance with the method for granular m

40、aterials given in EN 12902, can be used to estimate the leaching of the chemicals specified in EN 12902. 7 Specific properties Garnet is a non-reactive high density filtration and support medium. It is used specifically because of its high density. 8 Test methods 8.1 Sampling Prepare the laboratory

41、sample(s) required by the relevant procedures described in EN 12902. 8.2 Analysis 8.2.1 Particle size distribution The particle size distribution shall be determined in accordance with EN 12902. 8.2.2 Bulk density loose The bulk density loose shall be determined in accordance with EN 12902. 8.2.3 Bu

42、lk density packed The bulk density packed shall be determined in accordance with EN 12902. 9 Labelling, transportation and storage 9.1 Means of delivery Garnet shall be delivered in bags, semi-bulk containers, or bulk. In order that the purity of the product is not affected, the means of delivery sh

43、all not have been used previously for any different product or it shall have been specially cleaned and prepared before use. DIN EN 12910:2013-01 EN 12910:2012 (E) 8 9.2 Labelling in accordance with the EU legislation 1)Garnet is not listed within Annex VI of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 at the date

44、 of publication of this European Standard. The legislation 2, and its amendments for the purposes of its adaptation to technical and scientific progress contains a list of substances classified by the EU. Substances not listed in this regulation should be classified on the basis of their intrinsic p

45、roperties according to the criteria in the regulation by the person responsible for the marketing of the substance. NOTE Additional national regulations may apply to the labelling of this product. 9.3 Transportation regulations and labelling Garnet is not classified as dangerous product for road, ra

46、il, sea and air transportation. Garnet is not listed under a UN Number 2). 9.4 Marking The marking shall include the following: name “Garnet“, trade name and grade; net mass; name and the address of supplier and/or manufacturer; statement “This product conforms to EN 12910“. 9.5 Storage (long term s

47、tability) Garnet can be stored for an unlimited period of time. 1) See 2. 2) United Nations Number. DIN EN 12910:2013-01 EN 12910:2012 (E) 9 Annex A (informative) General information on garnet A.1 Origin A.1.1 Raw material Garnet exists in nature in six main varieties of which only two forms are gen

48、erally used as filtration and supporting materials: almandite garnet and andradite garnet. Both these varieties occur as massive rock deposits and also as alluvial sands in both geological and modern beach deposits. Garnet rarely occurs as a single pure variety: the different forms often grade into each other with some replacement of the main metallic elements by minor ones. For this reason, the analyses of the same type of garnet from different deposits will vary.
