International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
18、 with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria need

24、 rate by means of a calibrated funnel (Hall flowmeter)1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies a method for determining the flow rate of metallic powders, including powders for hard metals, by means of a calibrated funnel (Hall flowmeter).The method is applicable only to powders which flow freel
25、y through the specified test orifice.2 PrincipleMeasurement of the time required for 50 g of a metallic powder to flow through the orifice of a calibrated funnel of standardized dimensions.3 Apparatus3.1 Calibrated funnel, having the dimensions shown in Figure 1 (see Clause 4).The funnel shall be ma
26、de of a non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant metallic material having sufficient wall thickness and hardness to withstand distortion and excessive wear.1)NOTE The dimensions shown for the funnel, including the orifice, are not to be considered controlling factors. Calibration with emery, as specified i
27、n Clause 4, determines the working flow rate of the funnel.3.2 Stand and horizontal vibration-free base, to support the funnel rigidly, e.g. as indicated in Figure 2.1)3.3 Balance, of sufficient capacity, capable of weighing the test portion to an accuracy of 0,05 g.3.4 Timing device, capable of mea

31、nnel4.1 Calibration by the manufacturer of the funnelThe manufacturer shall supply the flowmeter calibrated as follows.a) Dry the Chinese emery grit (3.5) in an open and clean glass jar at 110 C for 60 min in air.b) Cool the emery to room temperature in a desiccator.c) Weigh out 50 g of the emery gr
32、it.d) Follow the procedure outlined in Clause 6.e) Repeat the procedure with the same 50 g mass of emery, until there are five determinations within 0,4 s.f) The average of these five determinations is stamped on the bottom of the funnel and shall be within 40,0 s 0,5 s.The Chinese emery grit used a
33、s the reference powder replaces the Turkish emery grit from the first edition of this International Standard, as the latter is no longer available. The Chinese emery has been found to be more sensitive and the instructions should therefore be followed carefully.4.2 Calibration by the user of the fun
34、nelThe flow rate of the reference sample shall be determined by the above method. If the flow rate has changed to be outside 40,0 s 0,5 s, a correction factor shall be used when measuring different powders. This correction factor is obtained by dividing 40,0 by this new value for the Chinese emery g
35、rit.It is recommended that the users periodically verify whether a correction is needed or not.It is recommended that, before a correction factor is adopted, the cause of the change be investigated. If the flow rate has decreased, it is probable that repeated use has burnished the orifice and a (new
36、) correction factor is justified. An increase in flow rate may indicate a coating of soft powder on the orifice. This coating should be carefully removed and the calibration test repeated.It is recommended that the use of a funnel be discontinued after the duration of flow of the reference sample ha
37、s decreased to less than 37 s.5 Sampling5.1 The mass of the test sample shall be at least 200 g.5.2 In general, the powder shall be tested in the as-received condition. In certain cases, and after agreement between the supplier and user, the powder may be dried. However, if the powder is susceptible
38、 to oxidation, the drying shall take place in a vacuum or in inert gas. If the powder contains volatile substances, it shall not be dried.5.3 Immediately before the test, weigh out a 50 g 0,1 g test portion.5.4 The determination shall be carried out on three test portions.6 ProcedureTransfer the tes
39、t portion to the funnel, keeping the discharge orifice closed by a dry finger. Take care that the stem of the funnel is filled with powder. Start the timing device (3.4) when the orifice is opened and ISO 2014 All rights reserved 3BS EN ISO 4490:2014ISO 4490:2014(E)stop it at the instant when the la
40、st of the powder leaves the orifice. Record the elapsed time measured to the nearest 0,1 s.Alternatively, the orifice can be kept open, when the test portion is transferred to the funnel with the rest of the procedure being the same.NOTE If the powder does not begin to flow when the orifice is opene
41、d, one slight tap on the funnel to start the flow is permitted. If this has no effect, or if the flow stops during the test, the powder is considered to possess no flowability according to the test method described in this International Standard.7 Expression of resultsCalculate the arithmetic mean o
42、f the results of the three determinations and report the value in seconds per 50 g, rounded to the nearest second. If a correction factor (see 4.2) should be used, the average shall be multiplied by this correction factor.8 PrecisionThere are no relevant data available for this issue.9 Test reportTh
43、e test report shall include the following information:a) a reference to this International Standard (i.e. ISO 4490);b) all details for identification of the test sample;c) the result obtained;d) the use of an open orifice;e) all operations not specified by this International Standard, or regarded as
44、 optional (e.g. the drying procedure applied and whether flow has been induced by tapping the funnel);f) details of any occurrence which may have affected the result.4 ISO 2014 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 4490:2014This page deliberately left blankThis page deliberately left blankBSI is the national
