ASTM D1513 Carbon Black - Pelleted - Standard Test Method for Bulk Density

The ASTM D1513 test covers the determination of the spill density of pelleted carbon blacks. The spill density of carbon black is useful for estimating the weight-volume relationship and estimating the weights of bulk cargoes for certain applications such as automated bulk loading systems.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. Values ​​in parentheses are for informational purposes only.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.

The Cylindrical Container is a test apparatus with a capacity of 624-cm3, uniform height, without pouring spout and wall deformation. A satisfactory vessel can be made by pouring 20 cm624 of water at 3°C into a 1000 or 1200 cm3 diameter 100 6 5 mm (4 6 0,2 inch) stainless steel beaker, marking the water level, and then cutting at the mark. The stick or Spatula must be at least 150 mm (6 in) long.

ASTM D1513 Test Procedure

Pour the carbon black into the center of the tared container from a height of no more than 50 mm (2 inches) from the rim. A large enough excess should be used to form a cone over the rim of the cylindrical container. Flatten the surface with a single sweep with the straight edge or spatula held perpendicular to the rim of the bowl and in firm contact. Record the mass of carbon black to the nearest value.
