It is then pretreated byapplying a shear stress until steady state is achieved. The shearstress is r
18、epeatedly applied and removed until consistent resultsare obtained. Next, the normal stress is reduced in steps. Beforeeach shear step, the consolidation normal stress is reapplied.The measurements provide a measure of the instantaneousstatic and dynamic yield loci.4.1.1.1 During the entire shear te
19、st the height of the speci-men is measured simultaneously in order to determine thecompaction and expansion of the specimen.4.1.2 The instantaneous static and dynamic yield loci aredetermined using the procedure outlined in the above sectionwithout any delay between the various stages of the test.4.
20、1.3 The time dependent static yield locus is measured as afunction of time by preconditioning the specimen for varioustimes under consolidation normal stress conditions; the peakshear stress is then measured.4.2 Measurement of Wall Friction as a Function of theNormal StressBy placing a wall specimen
21、 under the cellring, the shear stresses (wall friction) are measured between thewall specimen and the powder.4.2.1 The instantaneous static and dynamic friction aredetermined.4.3 Measurement of Degradation as a Function of NormalStressThe influence of shearing on particle degradation ismeasured by p
22、article size analysis after shearing the specimenat a predetermined normal stress. Particle size degradation ismeasured from the change of particle size distribution beforeand after test (see 10.4.3).5. Significance and Use5.1 The test method is useful for the following:5.1.1 Classification of Powde
23、rsThe cohesion and angle ofinternal friction are flowability indicators of powders and canbe used to classify the powders.5.1.2 Quality ControlFor a number of industrial applica-tions flowability factors are used to compare the materialflowability at different times during production. The materialpr
24、oduced has to be held within given limits for each applicationand each powder so as to ensure trouble-free operation.5.1.3 Material EngineeringPowder properties are influ-enced by particle size, particle size distribution, fat content,humidity and other parameters. By selecting the correct param-ete
25、rs and the correct mixtures of powders, the required me-chanical properties of the product are achieved.5.1.4 Design of Handling EquipmentFor certain storageand conveyor equipment there are mathematical models existwhich require the mechanical properties of powders.6. Apparatus36.1 The Rotational Sp
26、lit Level Shear tester is schematicallyshown in Fig. 1 and the specimen is contained in the followingshear cell components.6.1.1 Cell Base, is cylindrical and has a knurled interiorbottom surface.6.1.2 Cell Ring, is a ring-formed element to be placed on thecell base.6.1.3 Loading Lid, is a knurled i
27、nterior cover surface forloading of the specimen, to be placed on the specimen.6.1.4 Shear Plane, shown in Fig. 1, occurs at the transitionplane between the cell base and the cell ring.6.1.5 Several shear cell sizes are available to accommodatea variety of particle sizes. The selected shear cell dia
28、metershould be at least 25 times larger than the average particlediameter. The most frequently used shear cell is a nominal 60mm diameter and would accommodate powders with anaverage particle diameter smaller than 2400 microns.6.2 Rotating Table, on which the Cell Base is fixed causesthe Cell Base t
29、o rotate against the Loading Lid.6.2.1 In Fig. 1, the cross section shows the cell base, ringand loading lid. The cell base rotates. The loading lid is placedon the specimen and loaded with predetermined weights. Theshear resistance is measured by measuring the moment on theloading lid.7. Selection
30、of Test Parameters7.1 Sampling:7.1.1 Prepare and store the test specimens in accordancewith any valid safety and environmental regulations.7.1.2 Prepare the specimens in accordance with the operat-ing conditions expected during the application; i.e. tempera-ture, humidity and other conditions. Use a
31、n adequate climatechamber to condition the specimen as necessary.7.1.3 If a powder contains large particles which are uni-formly distributed in a mixture, which otherwise meets thecriteria of 6.1.5, the large particles may be sieved out. It isacceptable to sieve out the large particles until the pro
32、portionof large particles does not exceed about 5 % of the testspecimen. Beyond this limit a larger diameter of the shear cellshould be used according 6.1.5 to retain the large particles inthe mixture.7.2 Determination of Test Parameters:NOTE 2The selected consolidation normal stress should match th
33、eexpected stress in the actual process specified by an engineer/scientisthaving a knowledge of shear testing and a theoretical background.7.2.1 For the measurement of internal friction, the consoli-dation normal stress is the same during both, the pre-consolidation snpand the consolidation steps sn.
34、 See Fig. 3.7.2.1.1 The normal stress during the shear step is equal to orlower than the consolidation normal stress. See snxin Fig. 3.7.2.1.2 In the absence of specified values of consolidationnormal stress the test should be performed with consolidationnormal stress of 5.0 kPa, 15.0 kPa and 25.0 k
35、Pa.7.2.1.3 In the absence of specified values of normal stressduring the shear steps the test should be performed with normalstress equal to 100 %, 80 %, 60 %, 40 % and 20 % of theconsolidation normal stress.7.2.2 The measurement of density is performed by applyingthe predetermined normal stress to
36、the specimen (see 7.2.1). Inthe absence of specified values for normal stress, the test3Available from Dr. I. Peschl, Post Box 399, NL-5600 AJ Eindhoven, TheNetherlands.D 6682 01 (2006)4should be performed at 1 kPa, 5 kPa, 10 kPa, 15 kPa, 25 kPa.15 kPa, 10 kPa, 5 kPa, and 1 kPa.7.2.3 The measurement
37、 of wall friction is performed byapplying the predetermined normal stress to the specimen. Inthe absence of specified values for normal stress, the testshould be performed at 1 kPa, 10 kPa, 15 kPa and 25 kPa.7.2.4 The degradation test should simulate the normal stressand time during which the sheari
38、ng takes place. For a goodsimulation, a number of such steps might be necessary in orderto simulate the stresses and the time during which they areacting throughout the whole process. In the absence of speci-fied values for normal stress, the test should be performed at 5kPa during 10 min.8. Specime
