Summary of Test Method3.1 Method A, FinesA sample of carbon black is place
6、d on a 125-m sieve and shaken in a mechanical or vibratory sieveshaker for 5 min. The pellets, pellet fragments, dust, and unpelletized black that pass through the sieve are defined as carbon blackfines. The fines are expressed in percent.3.2 Method B, AttritionThe same test sample is shaken for an
7、additional 15 min to determine the amount of pellet degradationor attrition created during this additional shake interval. The attrition is expressed in percent.4. Significance and Use4.1 Method A, FinesThe fines content of carbon black is related to the bulk flowability, dustiness, and, in some ins
8、tances, thelevel of dispersion. Due to the many other variables that influence dispersion and handling, the significance of fines content mustbe determined by the user.4.2 Method B, AttritionBy comparing the percent fines and attrition, an indication can be obtained of pellet stability and theamount
9、 of fines that may be created by pellet degradation in conveying, handling or transit.5. Apparatus5.1 Mechanical or Vibratory Sieve Shaker.35.2 Sieves, six 125-m (U.S. Standard No. 120) having a 200-mm (8-in.) diameter and 25-mm (1-in.) height, or equivalent,conforming to Specification E11.5.3 Sieve

Procedure7.1 Method A, Fines and Method B, Attrition:7.1.1 Stack up to six sets of sieves and receivers with a receiver b
16、eneath each sieve.7.1.2 Weigh 25.0 g portions, being careful to dip approximately 25 g of black from the riffle splitter.NOTE 1It is not good practice to weigh the sample by pouring it directly out of the black container since the fines and smaller pellets will tend toremain in the container while t
17、he larger pellets pour out first. Dipping the black from the container is the preferred technique.7.1.3 Transfer each sample to an individual 125-m sieve.NOTE 2Six different materials or samples may be tested when all six sets of sieves are used. In some labs the position of the sieve may affect res
18、ultswith the higher sieves yielding higher fines data. For this reason the center position, sieves 3 and 4, should be used for referee testing.7.1.4 Assemble up to six sets of sieves and receivers into a stack. Place a cover on top and transfer to the shaker. Tighten theshaker to eliminate any loose
19、ness. Refer to the user manual for operation of the vibratory sieve shaker. A vibratory amplitude of1.3 mm should be selected with the vibratory sieve shakers operating at 3600 vpm. However, products that contain little or nobinder may experience excessive attrition at the specified amplitude of 1.3
20、 mm. It is the responsibility of the user to determine theappropriate amplitude for these products in order to match the Ro-TapMechanical Sieve Shaker3 values. It should be noted thatchanging the amplitude for standard products is not recommended and may result in erroneous values.7.1.5 Start the sh
21、aker and allow to shake for 5 min with the hammer operating.7.1.6 Remove the sieve assembly from the shaker and weigh the carbon black retained in each receiver to the nearest 0.1 g.NOTE 3To test only attrition, discard the fines without weighing.7.2 Method A, Fines:7.2.1 If testing only fines, empt
22、y and clean thoroughly all sieves in preparation for the next test.NOTE 4If attrition is to be tested, retain the pellets on the sieve and discard the fines on the receiver. Proceed to Method B, Attrition.7.3 Method B, Attrition:7.3.1 Reassemble the sieves and transfer the stack back to the shaker.
23、Shake for an additional 15 min with the hammer operating.7.3.2 Remove the sieve assembly and weigh the carbon black retained on each receiver to the nearest 0.1 g.7.3.3 Empty and clean thoroughly all sieves in preparation for the next test.8. Calculation8.1 Calculate the fines content to the nearest
24、 0.1 % as follows:F 5 WF/S! 3100 (1)8.2 Calculate attrition to the nearest 0.1 % as follows:A 5 WA/S! 3100 (2)where:A = attrition, %,F = fines content, %,WF = mass of carbon black in receiver after 5 min shake, g,WA = mass of carbon black in receiver after additional 15 min shake, total 20 min g, an
25、dS = mass of black tested, g.9.

Precision and Bias10.1 These precision statements have been prepared in accordance wi
26、th Practice D4483. Refer to this practice for terminologyand other statistical details.10.2 The precision results in this precision and bias section give an estimate of the precision for fines and attrition testing. Theprecision parameters should not be used for acceptance or rejection testing of an
27、y group of materials without documentation thatthey are applicable to those particular materials and the specific testing protocols of the test method.10.3 A Type 1 interlaboratory precision program was conducted in May 1998. Both repeatability and reproducibility representshort term testing conditi
28、ons. Seven laboratories tested four carbon blacks twice on two different days. A test result is the valueobtained from a single determination. Acceptable difference values were not measured. The between operator component ofvariation is included in the calculated values for r and R.10.4 The results
29、of the precision calculations for this test are given in Table 1 and Table 2 respectively. The materials arearranged in ascending “mean level” order.10.5 Precision is dependent upon the amount of fines or attrition. It can be estimated by selecting a material from Table 1 andTable 2 with properties
30、similar to the test material and reading the corresponding precision figures.10.6 RepeatabilityThe test repeatability of fines, r or attrition (r) has been established as any appropriate value in Table 1 orTable 2 Two single test results that differ by more than the tabulated value must be considere
31、d suspect. Appropriate action shouldbe taken.10.7 ReproducibilityThe test reproducibility of fines, R or attrition, (R) has been established as any appropriate value in Table1 or Table 2. Two single test results that differ by more than the tabulated value must be considered suspect. Appropriate act
32、ionshould be taken.10.8 BiasReference values do not exist for fines and attrition since the levels of the test properties are defined exclusively bythe test method. Therefore bias cannot be determined.10.9 Test precision using vibratory sieve shakers has not been determined.11. Keywords11.1 attritio
