BULK DENSITY APPARATUS - ASTM D1895 METHOD-C

Description:

1. For coarse flakes, strands, chips and cut fibers that cannot be poured using test methods A and B, EIE offer a measuring cylinder and plunger to method C of the ASTM test standard. Since these types of materials to be tested are very bulky when loosely poured and are usually compressed to lessen the bulk, a measure of their density under a small compression load is very useful. For this test a measuring cylinder of 1000 cm³ is supplied along with a scaled weight plunger with 1mm graduations on the outside. Lead shot is used to increase the plunger weight to 2300 g to compress the material under test.
   

Technical Specification

1. Measuring Cylinder— A cylinder of 1000-cm3 capacity-made of aluminum
2. Weight Plunger— A cylinder closed at one end and having an outside diameter slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the measuring cylinder. The plunger shall have a scale cut on the outside surface, graduated in intervals of 1 mm-made of aluminum
3. Lead shots
4. Stand - Made of Mild Steel.
   

Tests that can be conducted are:

1. Apparent Density
