4.1 This test method is useful to both producers and purchasers of powders, as outlined in 1.1 and 1.2, in determining particle size distribution for product specifications, manufacturing control, development, and research. 4.2 Users should be aware that sample concentrations used in this test method may not be what is considered ideal by some authorities, and that the range of this test method extends into the region where Brownian movement could be a factor in conventional sedimentation. Within the range of this test method, neither the sample concentration nor Brownian movement are believed to be significant. 4.3 Reported particle size measurement is a function of both the actual particle dimension and shape factor as well as the particular physical or chemical properties being measured. Caution is required when comparing data from instruments operating on different physical or chemical parameters or with different particle size measurement ranges. Sample acquisition, handling, and preparation can also affect reported particle size results. |

1.1 This test method covers the determination of particle size distributions of metal powders. Experience has shown that this test method is satisfactory for the analysis of elemental tungsten, tungsten carbide, molybdenum, and tantalum powders, all with an as-supplied estimated average particle size of 6 μm or less, as determined by Test Method B330. Other metal powders (for example, elemental metals, carbides, and nitrides) may be analyzed using this test method with caution as to significance until actual satisfactory experience is developed (see 7.2). The procedure covers the determination of particle size distribution of the powder in the following two conditions: 1.1.1 As the powder is supplied (as-supplied), and 1.1.2 After the powder has been deagglomerated by rod milling as described in Practice B859. 1.2 This test method is applicable to particles of uniform density and composition having a particle size distribution range of 0.1 up to 100 μm. 1.2.1 However, the relationship between
size and sedimentation velocity used in this test method assumes
that particles sediment within the laminar flow regime. This
requires that the particles sediment with a Reynolds number of 0.3
or less. Particle size distribution analysis for particles settling
with a larger Reynolds number may be incorrect due to turbulent
flow. Some materials covered by this test method may settle with
Reynolds number greater than 0.3 if particles greater than 25 μm
are present. The user of this test method should calculate the
Reynolds number of the largest particle expected to be present in
order to judge the quality of obtained results. Reynolds number
(Re) can be calculated using the flowing equation
A table of the largest particles that can be analyzed with Reynolds number of 0.3 or less in water at 35°C is given for a number of metals in Table 1. A column of the Reynolds number calculated for a 30–μm particle sedimenting in the same liquid system is given for each material also. 1.3 Units—With the exception of the values
for density and the mass used to determine density, for which the
use of the gram per cubic centimetre (g/cm3) and gram
(g) units is the longstanding industry practice, the values in SI
units are to be regarded as standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific hazard information is given in Section 7. 1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. |
