Historical Standard: ASTM C371-89(1999) Standard Test Method for Wire-Cloth Sieve Analysis of Nonplastic Ceramic Powders
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM C371
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the particle size distribution of nonplastic ceramic powders such as alumina, silica, feldspar, pyrophyllite, nepheline syenite, talc, titanates, and zircon using wire-cloth sieves.
1.2 Materials containing a large amount of fines, containing agglomerates, or that are nonfree-flowing, are wet-sieved to remove excessive fines or to disperse agglomerates prior to performing the test. This technique is not applicable to materials that are, to any degree, water soluble.
1.3 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
