30、ribution shall be described by either: a) effective size: (d10) with a maximum deviation of 5 %; uniformity coefficient: (U) which shall be less than 1,5; minimum size: (d1) with a maximum deviation of 5 %. or b) by particle size range and by mass fraction of oversize and undersize particles accordi
31、ng to application. The maximum contents of oversize and undersize shall be a mass fraction of 5 % for application of the product as a filtration layer in multi media filters and a mass fraction of 10 % for use in single media filters. For use as a support layer, maximum mass fractions of oversize an
32、d undersize of 15 % are acceptable. See A.2.3 for examples of available particle sizes that are used. NOTE 2 Other values can be necessary for certain applications. 5.3 Density 5.3.1 Bulk density loose The bulk density loose shall be in the range of 300 kg/m3to 900 kg/m3. 5.3.2 Bulk density packed T

Limits are given for impurities commonly present
34、in the product. Depending on the raw material and the manufacturing process other impurities may be present and, if so, this shall be notified to the user and when necessary to relevant authorities. Users of this product should check the national regulations in order to clarify whether it is of appr
35、opriate purity for treatment of water intended for human consumption, taking into account raw water quality, contents of other impurities and additives used in the products not stated in the product standard. Limits have been given for impurities and chemical parameters where these are likely to be
36、present in significant quantities from the current production process and raw materials. If the production process or raw materials lead to significant quantities of impurities, by-products or additives being present, this shall be notified to the user. The content of acid-soluble material shall be
37、less than a mass fraction of 7 %. NOTE 1 The exact composition does not influence filtration properties and is given in A.2.1. DIN EN 12905:2013-01 EN 12905:2012 (E) 7 After filling, washing and commissioning of a filter system producing drinking water, expanded aluminosilicates should not increase
38、the concentrations of chemical parameters (see 1). NOTE 2 Water extractable substances, determined in accordance with the method for granular materials given in EN 12902, can be used to estimate the leaching of the chemicals specified in EN 12902. 7 Test methods 7.1 Sampling Prepare the laboratory s
39、ample(s) required by the relevant procedures described in EN 12902. 7.2 Analysis 7.2.1 Particle size distribution The particle size distribution shall be determined in accordance with EN 12902. 7.2.2 Bulk density loose The bulk density loose shall be determined in accordance with EN 12902. 7.2.3 Bul
40、k density packed The bulk density packed shall be determined in accordance with EN 12902. 7.2.4 Acid-soluble material The content of acid-soluble material shall be determined in accordance with EN 12902. 8 Labelling, transportation and storage 8.1 Means of delivery Expanded aluminosilicates shall be
41、 delivered in bags, semi-bulk containers, or bulk. In order that the purity of the product is not affected, the means of delivery shall not have been used previously for any different product or it shall have been specially cleaned and prepared before use. 8.2 Labelling in accordance with the EU leg
42、islation 1)Expanded aluminosilicates are not listed within Annex VI of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 at the date of publication of this European Standard. The legislation 2, and its amendments for the purposes of its adaptation to technical and scientific progress contains a list of substances classi
43、fied by the EU. Substances not listed in this regulation should be classified on the basis of their intrinsic properties according to the criteria in the regulation by the person responsible for the marketing of the substance. 1) See 2. DIN EN 12905:2013-01 EN 12905:2012 (E) 8 8.3 Transportation reg
44、ulations and labelling Expanded aluminosilicates are not dangerous goods. 8.4 Marking The marking shall include the following: name “expanded clay”, “expanded slate“ or “expanded aluminosilicate”, trade name and particle size range; net mass or volume; name and the address of supplier and/or manufac
45、turer; statement “this product conforms to EN 12905“. 8.5 Storage (long term chemical stability) Expanded aluminosilicates can be stored for an unlimited period of time. DIN EN 12905:2013-01 EN 12905:2012 (E) 9 Annex A (informative) General information on expanded aluminosilicate A.1 Origin A.1.1 Ra
46、w material Clay and slate. A.1.2 Manufacturing process Clay and slate are produced by quarrying. The material is then thermally treated in a special oven, and finally crushed and sieved. A.2 Typical properties A.2.1 Chemical composition The composition depends on the origin of the raw materials. Exa
47、mples are given in Table A.1. Table A.1 Chemical composition Parameter Mass fraction in % SiO2range 55 to 75 Al2O3range 10 to 25 Fe2O3range 2 to 15 CaO range 2 to 10K2O max 10 Na2O max 10 Mineralogical and petrological analyses give additional information. A.2.2 Mechanical strength The mechanical st
48、rength of aluminosilicates is high. Abrasion products consist of dust and small particles of material. They are formed during transportation, filling, and washing. Abrasion products are not completely removed by washing. The existing methods for determination of abrasion do not lead to exact results regarding behaviour of filter media during operation. They can be used only for comparison of different filter media. DIN EN 12905:2013-01 EN 12905:2012 (E) 10 A.2.3 Examp
