Ray-Ran - Apparent Bulk Density Apparatus - ASTM D1895 Method C
For course flakes, strands, chips and cut fibres that cannot be poured using test methods A and B Ray-Ran 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 2300g to compress the material under test.
Tests that can be conducted are:
-
Apparent Density
-
Measuring funnel
-
Weight plunger
-
