29、ion of density at20C 3 Definitions For the purposes of this Part of EN993, the following definitions apply. 3.1 bulk density ( b ) the ratio of the mass of the dry material of a porous body to its bulk volume, expressed in grams per cubic centimetre or in kilograms per cubic metre 3.2 bulk volume (V
30、 b ) the sum of the volumes of the solid material, the open pores and the closed pores in a porous body NOTEThe roughness of the surface limits the accuracy of definition of the bulk volume and, in consequence, of the bulk density. Also, the concept of bulk density becomes less precise when the volu
31、me of the sample diminishes below certain limits or when its texture (size of pores and grains) is too coarse. 3.3 true density ( t ) the ratio of the mass of the material of a porous body to its true volume, expressed in grams per cubic centimetre or in kilograms per cubic metre 3.4 true volume the
32、 volume of the solid material in a porous body 3.5 open pores those pores that are penetrated by the immersion liquid in the test described NOTEThese pores are, in principle, all those that are connected with the atmosphere, either directly or via one another. Here also the roughness of the surface
33、imposes a limit to the accuracy of the definition of the volume of the open pores. 3.6 closed pores those pores that are not penetrated by the immersion liquid in the test described 3.7 apparent porosity ( a ) the ratio of the total volume of the open pores in a porous body to its bulk volume, expre
34、ssed as a percentage of the bulk volume 3.8 closed porosity ( f ) the ratio of the total volume of the closed pores in a porous body to its bulk volume, expressed as a percentage of the bulk volume 3.9 true porosity ( t ) the ratio of the total volume of the open and closed pores to the bulk volume
35、of the material, expressed as a percentage NOTEConsequently, the true porosity is the sum of the apparent porosity and the closed porosity. 3.10 dense shaped refractory product a product having a true porosity of less than45%(V/V) 4 Principle 4.1 The following are determined by weighing: the mass of
36、 a dry test piece, then its apparent mass when immersed in a liquid with which it has been impregnated under vacuum, and then its mass in air while still soaked with the liquid. From these values and from the true density of the material, determined by the method specified in EN993-2, its bulk densi
37、ty, apparent porosity and true porosity are determined by calculation. 4.2 The precision of the results does not require any correction to be made for the fact that weighings are carried out in air, not in a vacuum. 5 Apparatus and materials 5.1 Drying oven, capable of being controlled at(110 5)C. 5
38、.2 Balance, with an accuracy of 0,01g.EN993-1:1995 4 BSI 02-1999 5.3 Bridge, to be placed over the load-bearing scale pan of the balance (see7.3), if a two-pan balance is used. 5.4 Evacuating equipment, capable of reducing the pressure to a value no greater than2500Pa and a means of measuring the pr
39、essure used. 5.5 Thermometer, accurate to 1 C. 5.6 Immersion liquid, for materials that do not react with water, the immersion liquid may be cold distilled water. For materials that are sensitive to contact with water, a suitable organic liquid shall be used. NOTEFor example, distilled paraffin may
40、be used for hydratable materials. 5.7 Desiccator. 6 Number and shape of test pieces 6.1 The number of items (for example, bricks, shapes, nozzles) to be tested shall be determined by agreement between the interested parties. 6.2 The number of test pieces to be tested per item shall be agreed between
41、 the parties; it shall be stated in the test report. If the test pieces are cut out of bricks or blocks, the same number shall be cut from each one, in order to facilitate statistical analysis. 6.3 Test pieces shall be cut in the form of prisms or cylinders. The bulk volume of a test piece shall be
42、not less than50cm 3 , and shall be not more than200cm 3 . The ratio of the longest to the shortest dimension of a test piece shall not exceed2:1. NOTEWhere it is not possible to obtain the given size and volume from the item, test pieces of other dimensions and volume may be used by agreements betwe
43、en parties, and are to be reported. 6.4 Any test piece showing cracks shall be eliminated, since these might falsify the determination of the bulk volume. 7 Procedure 7.1 Determination of mass of dry test piece(m 1 ) Dry the test piece at(110 5)C to constant mass, i.e. until two successive weighings
44、 made before and after at least2h in the oven do not differ by more than0,1%. Before each weighing, place the test piece in a desiccator until it has cooled to room temperature. Weigh each test piece to the nearest0,01g. The mass determined is the mass of the dry test piece (m 1 ). 7.2 Soaking of te
45、st piece Carry out a check test to ensure that the apparatus will hold a vacuum. Place the cooled and dried test piece in an airtight vessel. After sealing the vessel, evacuate it until a pressure of not more than2500Pa is attained; maintain this vacuum for at least15min. In order to ensure that all
46、 the air has been removed from the open pores, isolate or disconnect the vessel from the vacuum pump and check that pressure does not rise through any degassing of the test piece. Reconnect the vessel to the vacuum pump and progressively introduce the immersion liquid so that, after3min, the test pi
47、ece is covered by about20mm of liquid. Maintain this reduced pressure for30min, then switch off the pump and open the vessel. Wait a further30min to ensure that the liquid penetrates into all the open pores. NOTECertain fine porosity materials such as refractories containing carbon and some clay pro
48、ducts may require longer periods of evaporation. 7.3 Determination of apparent mass of immersed test piece (m 2 ) Suspend the test piece by a thin thread from the load-pan suspension point of a hydrostatic balance and weigh it while completely immersed in a quantity of the immersion liquid, containe
49、d in a beaker standing on the bridge, if used. In this way, the apparent mass of the immersed test piece is obtained (m 2 ). The weighing shall be made to the nearest0,01g. Determine the temperature of the immersion liquid to an accuracy of 1 C. 7.4 Determination of mass of soaked test piece(m 3 ) Remove the test piece from the liquid and immediately sponge it quickly and carefully with a damp sponge or cloth to remove droplets and the surface film of liquid but without drawing liquid out o
