11、tion of the apparent density of metallic powders. It is applicable to powders that will not flow freely through a 5 mm orifice see IS0 393/1). Part 3 of this International Standard specifies the oscillating funnel method for the determination of apparent density of such powders, and this is preferre
12、d since it gives better preci- sion, but it cannot be used in cases where the powder may change its properties due to the vibration action applied to the powder during testing. 2 References IS0 39231 1, Metallic powders - Determination of apparent density - Part 1 : Funnei method.

13、ic powders - Determination of apparent density - Part 3 : Oscillating funnel method. 3 Principle Measurement of the mass of a certain quantity of powder which in a loose condition exactly fills a cup of known volume. The loose condition is obtained, when filling the cup, by cascading the powder over
14、 a series of inclined plates in a Scott volumeter see figures 1 and 2). The ratio between the mass and the volume represents the ap- parent density. 4 Symbols and designations Designation I Unit I as m V .

16、and containing four glass baffles which may be located and retained by grooves in opposite sides of the box and may thus be removed for ease of cleaning. The baffles are arranged so that the powder falls on to each of them in turn, thereby breaking the fall and reducing the velocity of the stream of
17、 powder. It is im- portant that none of the powder can pass between the upper edge of the glass baffles and the sides of the baffle box. It is also important that the lower edges of the glass baffles are either in line or slightly overlap in a vertical plane. A typical design of Scott volumeter is s
18、hown in figures 1 and 2. Dimensions given with tolerances are mandatory. The other dimensions represent those most frequently used and may vary slightly, provided that the principle requirements previously mentioned are maintained. 5.1.3 Stand and horizontal vibration-free base, to support the cup,
19、box and funnel coaxially at the heights indicated in the figures. 5.2 and an internal diameter of 30 k 1 mm. Cylindrical cup, having a capacity of 25 $- 0,05 cm3 NOTE - The cup and funnels should be made of nonmagnetic, corrosion-resistant metallic material having sufficient wall thickness and hardn
20、ess to avoid distortion and excessive wear. The inner sur- faces of the cup and funnels should be polished. 5.3 an accuracy of f 0,05 g. Balance, of sufficient capacity, permitting weighing to 6 Sampling 6.1 The test sample shall be of at least 100 cm3 volume to allow the determination to be carried
21、 out on three test portions. CEN ENu23923-2 93 m 3404589 0047012 824 m Page 4 EN 23923-2 : 1993 6.2 In general the powder should be tested in the as-received condition. In certain instances the powder may be dried. However, if the powder is susceptible to oxidation, the drying shall take place in va
22、cuum or in inert gas. If the powder con- tains volatile substances it shall not be dried. 7 Procedure 7.1 Pour or feed the powder carefully by means of a spatula into the funnel until the cup is completely filled and powder flows over. 7.2 If the powder is not free flowing, its passage through the s
23、ieve may be aided by light brushing with a soft brush. NOTE - If light brushing is not sufficient to make the powder flow through the sieve, the Scott vdumeter method is not applicable to this powder. 7.3 Level the powder with a straight-edge, taking care not to compress or pull out powder and not t
24、o disturb or vibrate the cup. 7.4 After levelling the powder, tap the cup to settle the powder in order to avoid spilling it during transport. Make sure that there are no adhering particles on the exterior of the cup. 7.5 Determine the mass of the powder to the nearest 0,05 g. Carry out the determin
25、ations on three test portions. 8 Expression of results The apparent density is given by the formula Report the arithmetical mean of three determinations to the nearest 0.01 g/cd, and the highest and the lowest results if the scatter between results exceeds 1 % of the mean. 9 Test report The test rep
26、ort shall include the following information : a) reference to this International Standard; b) all details necessary for the identification of the test sample; c) the drying procedure, if the powder has been dried; d) the result obtained; e) all operations not specified in this International Stan- da
27、rd, or regarded as optional; f) details of any occurrence which may have affected the result.
