Dichteméiter fir Schüttdicht, ISO-Method R60 - Precision Bulk Density Determination

The ISO R60 procedure determines the bulk density of metallic powders under standardized conditions of free fall and gravity packing. It quantifies how a powder occupies volume when poured through a calibrated funnel into a defined container, providing a reproducible measure of packing behavior and flowability.

Apparat

• QPI‑BDM1800R60 Bulk Density Meter, designed in accordance with ISO R60 specifications:

  • Funnel assembly: stainless‑steel funnel with a 25 mm orifice an an 60° cone angle, precision‑machined for consistent flow.

  • Becher empfänken: 25 cm³ cylindrical container, internal diameter and height calibrated to ISO R60 tolerances.

  • Support frame: rigid alignment between funnel and cup, ensuring vertical discharge.

  • Base platform: adjustable leveling feet for horizontal setup.

• Analytescht Gläichgewiicht: resolution ± 0.01 g.

• Beispiller vun Handhabungsinstrumenter: scoop, spatula, and brush for cleaning between tests.

Prinzip vun der Operatioun

A metallic powder is allowed to flow freely through the funnel into the receiving cup under gravity. The mass of powder filling the known volume is measured, and the ratio of mass to volume gives the Schüttdicht. The test reflects the powder’s particle size distribution, shape, and surface characteristics.

Testprozedur

1. Instrumentvirbereedung

• Ensure the QPI‑BDM1800R60 is clean, dry, and free of residual powder.

• Maacht d'Basis mat den verstellbare Féiss an engem Waasserwaag gläich.

• Vergewëssert Iech, datt den Trichterausgang direkt iwwer der Empfangsbecher zentréiert ass.

2. Proufkonditionéierung

• Bring the powder to standard laboratory temperature (typically 23 ± 2 °C).

• Mix gently to homogenize without altering particle size or moisture content.

3. Den Trichter fëllen

• Close the funnel outlet using the supplied shutter or plate.

• Pour the powder into the funnel until it is nearly full.

• Avoid vibration or compaction during loading.

4. Initiatioun vum Flow

• Remove the shutter quickly to allow the powder to discharge freely.

• Do not tap or disturb the apparatus during flow.

• Loosst d'Taass komplett fëllen, bis de Floss natierlech ophält.

5. D'Coupe ausgläichen

• Use a straight edge to strike off excess powder flush with the rim.

• Halt eng glat Bewegung fir ze vermeiden datt d'Prouf kompriméiert gëtt.

6. Wiegen

• Weigh the filled cup to the nearest 0.01 g.

• Zitt d'Mass vun der eideler Taass of, fir d'Nettoproufmass ze kréien.

7. Berechnung

Report results to three significant figures.

8. Widderhuelbarkeet

• Maacht op d'mannst dräi Miessungen.

• The variation between results should not exceed ± 1 %.

Notizen aus dem Ingenieurswiesen

• ISO R60 is optimized for metallic powders such as iron, copper, and alloy blends.

• The QPI‑BDM1800R60’s funnel geometry ensures consistent flow and minimizes bridging.

• Cleaning between tests prevents contamination and maintains dimensional accuracy.

• Stainless‑steel construction provides thermal stability and corrosion resistance for long‑term laboratory use.

Interpretatioun vun de Resultater

Bulk density measured by ISO R60 reflects the powder’s packing efficiency under gravity. It is used for:

• Quality control of powder metallurgy feedstocks.

• Comparative evaluation of particle morphology.

• Process calibration for compaction, sintering, and additive manufacturing.

• Verification of supplier specifications for metallic powders.
