ASTM D5158-98
Historical Standard: ASTM D5158-98 Standard Test Method for Determination of the Particle Size of Powdered Activated Carbon by Air Jet Sieving
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D5158
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the particle size of powdered activated carbons using an air-jet sieve device. For purposes of this test method, powdered activated carbon is defined as activated carbon in particle sizes predominantly smaller than 80 mesh.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The inch-pound units given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, 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.
