DIN EN ISO 13517:2013-08 EN ISO 13517:2013 (E) 3 1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies a method for determining the flow rate of metallic powders, including powders for har
20、dmetals and mixes of metallic powders and organic additives such as lubricants, by means of a calibrated funnel (Gustavsson flowmeter).The method is applicable only to powders which flow freely through the specified test orifice.2 PrincipleMeasurement of the time required for 50 g of a metallic powd
21、er to flow through the orifice of a calibrated funnel of standardized dimensions.3 Apparatus3.1 Calibrated funnel, with the dimensions shown in Figure 1 (see Clause 4). The dimensions shown for the flowmeter funnel, including the orifice, are not to be considered controlling factors. Calibration wit
22、h emery, as specified in Clause 4, determines the working flow rate of the funnel.The funnel shall be made of a non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant metallic material with sufficient wall thickness and hardness to withstand distortion and excessive wear.1)3.2 Stand and horizontal vibration-free base, t
23、o support the funnel rigidly, e.g. as indicated in Figure 21).3.3 Balance, of sufficient capacity, capable of weighing the test portion to an accuracy of 0,05 g.3.4 Stopwatch, capable of measuring the elapsed time to an accuracy of 0,1 s.3.5 Chinese emery grit, a reference powder used for calibratio
24、n of the funnel.1)1) Apparatus complying with 3.1 and 3.2, and standard Chinese emery grit can be purchased from ACuPowder International, LLC, 901 Lehigh Avenue, Union, NJ 07083, USA. This information is given for the convenience of users of this International Standard and does not constitute an end
25、orsement by ISO of the company named above. Equivalent products may be used if they can be shown to lead to the same results.DIN EN ISO 13517:2013-08 EN ISO 13517:2013 (E) 4 Dimensions in millimetresFigure 1 Calibrated funnel (Gustavsson flowmeter)Figure 2 Arrangement of calibrated funnel and stand4
26、 Calibration of the funnel4.1 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;DIN EN ISO 13517:2013-08 EN ISO 13517:2013 (E) 5 b) Cool the emer
27、y to room temperature in a desiccator;c) Weigh out 50 g of the emery grit;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 th
28、e funnel and shall be within 40,0 0,5 s.The Chinese emery is sensitive to humidity and the instructions should therefore be followed carefully.4.2 Calibration by the user of the funnelThe flow rate of the reference sample shall be determined by the above method. If the flow rate has changed to be ou
29、tside 40,0 0,5 s, a correction factor must be used when measuring different powders. This correction factor is obtained by dividing 40,0 by this new value for the Chinese emery grit.It is recommended that the users periodically verify whether a correction is needed or not.It is recommended that, bef
30、ore 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) correction factor is justified. An increase in flow rate may indicate a coating of soft powder on the orifice. This coat
31、ing 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 has 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
32、 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 to oxidation, the drying shall take place in a vacuum or in inert gas. If the powder contains volatile substances, it sha
33、ll not be dried.5.3 Immediately before the test, weigh out a 50 0,1 g test portion.5.4 Alternatively, a test portion of 90 to 110 g can be sampled and weighed to a precision of 0,1 g or better.5.5 The determination shall be carried out on three test portions.NOTE The intention of the alternative exe
34、cution according to 5.4 is to facilitate full automation of measurement of flow and apparent density of powders.6 ProcedureTransfer the test 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 stopwatch (
35、3.4) when the orifice is opened and stop it at the instant when the last of the powder leaves the orifice. Record the elapsed time measured to the nearest 0,1 s.DIN EN ISO 13517:2013-08 EN ISO 13517:2013 (E) 6 Alternatively, the orifice can be kept open, when the test portion is transferred to the f
36、unnel with the rest of the procedure being the same.NOTE If the powder does not begin to flow when the orifice is opened, 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 accor
37、ding to the test method described in this International Standard.7 Expression of resultsCalculate the arithmetic mean of the results of the three determinations and report the value in seconds per 50 g, rounded to the nearest second.If the alternative size of the test portion according to 5.4 is app
38、lied, the result of each determination shall, before the calculation of the arithmetic mean of the results, be divided by the mass of the sample and then be multiplied by 50 g. The result is thus recalculated in seconds per 50 g.If a correction factor (see 4.2) should be used, the average shall be m
39、ultiplied by this correction factor.8 PrecisionTwo plain iron powders and four iron or bronze powder mixes were included in the inter-laboratory study to develop this precision statement.
