United States1such a compressed void volume is biased due to error in theapplied pressure rel
17、ationship. The applied pressure bias is aresult of force losses due to friction between the sample andcylinder wall interface. There is presently no known techniqueto properly correct applied pressure measurements for aninstrument design using a single load cell since frictioncoefficients () are not
18、 constant for carbon black products orapplied pressures. For this reason, the most useful techniquefor comparing compressed void volumes is based on a numeri-cal technique known as mean compaction force or meanpressure. The mean pressure technique requires an instrumentdesign consisting of two load
19、cells to enable the measurementof compressed void volume as a function of applied andtransmitted force or pressure. Such a design allows the com-putation of void volumes at mean pressures, a method whichhas been demonstrated to minimize the effects of carbon blacksample mass and cylinder geometry.4.
20、 Summary of Test Method4.1 The measured compressed volume (apparent volume) ofa weighed dry test sample is obtained in a void volumeinstrument as a function of specified pressure. The instrumentconsists of an apparatus which can apply uniaxial compressionto a test sample in a cylindrical sample cham
21、ber where appliedand transmitted forces (or pressures) are measured. The com-pressed void volume is obtained by subtracting the theoreticalvolume from the apparent volume, then expressing the resultunitized to 100 g mass, as a function of specified meanpressure.5. Significance and Use5.1 The void vo
22、lume of a carbon black expressed as afunction of geometric mean pressure, VVGM, is a carbon blackstructure property. Structure is a generic term that is a functionof the shape irregularity and deviation from sphericity ofcarbon black aggregates. The greater a carbon black resistscompression by havin
23、g substantial aggregate irregularity andnon-sphericity, the greater the compressed volume and voidvolume. Also, the more that a carbon black resistscompression, the greater the energy required to compress thesample per unit void volume.5.2 Structure is a property that strongly influences thephysical
24、 properties developed in carbon black-elastomer com-pounds for use in tires, mechanical rubber goods, and othermanufactured rubber products. Structure measurements byOAN (Test Method D2414) and COAN (Test Method D3493),are based on oil absorption.6. Apparatus6.1 Analytical Balance, or equivalent, ca
