Significance and Use3.1 The method is used to determine compliance of mineralfillers with the grading requirements of Specification D 242.4. Apparatus4.1 Balance or Scale, readable to 0.01 g and conforming tothe requirements of Guide D 4753,
8、Class GP-1, with a capacityof 200 g.4.2 Sieves, conforming to Specification E11with nominalopening sizes of 75-m (No. 200), 300-m (No. 50), 600-m(No. 30), and 1.18-mm (No. 16) sieves.4.3 OvenAn oven of sufficient size, capable of maintain-ing a uniform temperature of 110 6 5C (230 6 9F).5. Test Samp
9、le5.1 Obtain the sample for test in accordance with therequirements of Specification D 242 and reduce to testing sizein accordance with Practice C 702. Use a minimum of 100 g ofdry material for each sieve analysis.6. Procedure6.1 Dry the test sample to constant mass at a temperature of110 6 5C (230
10、6 9F) and determine the mass to the nearest0.01 g.6.2 After drying and determining the mass, place the testsample on the 1.18-mm (No. 16) sieve, which shall be nestedabove the 600-m (No. 30), 300-m (No. 50) and 75-m (No.200) sieves. Wash the material by means of a stream of waterfrom a faucet (Note
11、1). Continue the washing until the watercoming through the sieve is clear (Note 2). Dry the residuefrom each sieve to constant mass at a temperature of 1106 5C(230 6 9F) (Note 3). Calculate the mass of material retainedon each sieve as a percentage of the original sample.NOTE 1A spray nozzle or a pi
12、ece of rubber tubing attached to a waterfaucet may be used for the washing. The velocity of the water, which maybe increased by pinching the tubing, must be controlled to prevent loss ofany of the sample by splashing over the sides of the sieves.Aspray nozzle,utilizing a pressure gage, is also used

Precision and Bias38.1 PrecisionThe estimates of precision for this testmethod are shown in Table 1. They are based on results of aninterlaboratory tes
18、ting program where replicable samples offour different mineral fillers were tested in 20 laboratoriesusing this test method. The materials tested ranged from acoarse mineral filler, that had about 93 % passing the 600m(No. 30) sieve and 51 % passing the 75-m (No. 200), to finermineral fillers that h
19、ad about 99 % passing the 300-m (No.50) sieve and 95 % passing the 75-m (No. 200) sieve.8.2 BiasBias has not been determined since there is noacceptable reference for determining the bias for the procedurein this test method.9.
