17、ber of physical test methods that have been developed to measure various physical parameters and characteristics and to evaluate the behaviour of iron ores, including reducibility, disintegration, crushing strength, apparent density, etc. This method was developed to provide a uniform procedure, val
18、idated by collaborative testing, to facilitate comparisons of tests made in different laboratories. The results of this test have to be considered in conjunction with other tests used to evaluate the quality of iron ores as feedstocks for blast furnace processes. This International Standard can be u
19、sed to provide test results as part of a production quality control system, as a basis of a contract, or as part of a research project.

It specifies the determination of the decrepitation index. This In

25、o 700 C, maintained at this temperature for 30 min and then cooled in air down to room temperature. It is sieved with a test sieve having square openings of 6,3 mm. The decrepitation index is calculated as the mass percentage of material of size 6,3 mm. 5 Sampling, sample preparation and preparation
26、 of test portions 5.1 Sampling and sample preparation Sampling of a lot and preparation of a test sample shall be in accordance with ISO 3082. The size range for lump ores shall be 25,0 mm +20,0 mm. A test sample of at least 5,0 kg, on a dry basis, of the sized lump ores shall be obtained. INTERNATI

Screen the sized sample again on a 20,0 mm sieve to remove any adhering fines, and keep the test material in a desicc
28、ator until testing. NOTE Constant mass is achieved when the difference in mass between two subsequent measurements becomes less than 0,05 % of the initial mass of the test sample. 5.2 Preparation of test portions Only particles taken at random shall be used to constitute a test portion. At least 10
29、test portions, each of approximately 500 g (the mass of 1 particle) shall be prepared from the test sample. Weigh the test portions to the nearest 1 g and register the mass of each test portion on its recipient label. 6 Apparatus 6.1 General The test apparatus shall comprise: a) ordinary laboratory
30、equipment, such as an oven, hand tools, time-control device and safety equipment; b) a furnace; c) a test-portion holder; d) test sieves; e) a weighing device. 6.2 Furnace, having a heating capacity and temperature control able to heat the test portion from room temperature to 700 C in 30 min. 6.3 T
31、est portion holder, made of non-scaling, heat-resistant metal to withstand temperatures higher than 700 C, equipped with a thermocouple to measure the temperature of the sample. The cover shall be of the loose fitting type and shall not provide a gas-tight seal. 6.4 Test sieves, conforming to ISO 33
32、10-1 or ISO 3310-2 and having square apertures of the following nominal sizes: 6,30 mm; 3,15 mm and 500 m. 6.5 Weighing device, capable of weighing the test sample and test portions to an accuracy of 1 g. 7 Procedure 7.1 Number of determinations for the test Owing to the heterogeneity of lump ores,
33、carry out the test 10 times on each test sample. 7.2 Heating WARNING This test involves handling of hot apparatus. In addition, for some iron ores, spitting may occur when loading the sample into the hot container. Suitable hand and eye protection shall be used by the operator.2 ISO 2015 All rights
34、reservedBS ISO 8371:2015ISO 8371:2015(E) Turn on the furnace and begin heating. When its temperature reaches 700 C, keep it constant for a further 20 min. Place the test portion in the sample holder, cover and put the set in the furnace. After 30 min, remove the holder and the test portion from the
35、furnace and allow the test portion to cool to below 50 C. 7.3 Sieving Discharge the test portion carefully from the sample holder, determine and record its mass (m 1 ). Hand sieve with care on the 6,30 mm, 3,15 mm and 500 m sieves (6.4). Determine and record the mass passing 6,30 mm (m 2 ), 3,15 mm
36、and 500 m to one decimal place. NOTE 1 Equivalent mechanical sieving can be used provided that preliminary test programme is carried out according to ISO 3086, the hand sieving being the reference method. NOTE 2 Sieving results are influenced by the sieve shaker characteristics. Therefore in cases w
37、here two or more laboratories need to compare their results for commercial or research purposes, the sieving conditions are to be adjusted until identical results are obtained for the same test sample. 8 Expression of results The decrepitation index, DI -6,3 , expressed as a percentage by mass, is c
38、alculated from the following equation: , m m where m 1 is the mass, in grams, of the test portion after thermal treatment; m 2 is the mass, in grams, of the undersize fraction passing the 6,30 mm sieve. Express the result to one decimal place. 9 Test report The test report shall include the followin
39、g information: a) a reference to this International Standard, i.e. ISO 8371; b) all details necessary for the identification of the sample; c) the name and address of the test laboratory; d) the date of the test; e) the date of the test report; f) the signature of the person responsible for the test
40、 g) the details of any operation and any test conditions not specified in this International Standard or regarded as optional, as well as any incident which may have had an influence on the results; h) the decrepitation index, DI -6,3and the individual results of the 10 tests; i) the mean values of
