Standard Test Methods for Sieve Analysis and Water Content of Refractory Materials

Importancia y uso:

3.1 Particle size distribution has a major effect upon most of the refractory properties. These test methods provide a means of measuring the distribution for the purpose of comparison to the desired distribution.

3.2 These test methods also cover determination of the water content of refractory materials in the wet condition and of air-dried samples received, so that the sieve analysis can be calculated on the dry basis.

3.3 These methods can produce data for specification acceptance, design purposes, manufacturing control, and research and development.

3.4 A reference set of standard matched or calibrated sieves4 shall be provided for use in checking the set of sieves used in the actual sieve analysis of samples. The sieves for use in sieve analysis may also be standard matched sieves or may be unmatched sieves conforming to the Specification Table in Specification E11, provided that such sieves will give results that differ by no more than 5 % from those obtained with the reference set when the two sets are compared in accordance with the section of Test Method C429 on testing of sieves and sample splitters.
