Fertilizers - Determination of bulk density (tapped) (ISO 5311:1992 modified)

This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the bulkdensity (tapped) of solid fertilizers, except powder fertilizers. The method is not suitable for materials which contain more than 20 % by mass of particles exceeding 5 mm in diameter.

Düngemittel - Bestimmung der Rütteldichte (ISO 5311:1992 modifiziert)

Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Rütteldichte von festen Düngemitteln mit Ausnahme von pulverförmigen Düngemitteln fest. Das Verfahren ist für frei fließende Düngemittel anwendbar. Das Verfahren ist nicht anwendbar bei Materialien, welche einen Massenanteil von mehr als 20 %von Partikeln mit mehr als 5 mm Durchmesser enthalten.

Engrais - Détermination de la masse volumique après tassement (ISO 5311:1992 modifiée)

La présente Norme internationale prescrit une méthode de détermination de la masse volumique après tassement des engrais solides, à l'exclusion des engrais en poudre. La méthode est applicable aux engrais à écoulement fluide. Elle n'estpas applicable aux matériaux contenant plus de 20 % en masse de particules dépassant 5 mm de diamètre.

ISO 5311:1992(E) Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Esch member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, govern- mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take patt in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an inter- national Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO 5311 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 134, FerMizers and seil conditioners, Sub-Committee SC 3, Physical properties. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 5311:1983), which has been technically revised. 0 ISO 1992 All rights reserved.

ISO 5311:1992(E) lntroduction The bulk densities (loose and tapped) of a fertilizer provide information relative to the required size of packaging materials, store-houses, stock-rooms, etc. Generally, the bulk density (tapped) is up to IO % greater than the bulk density (loose), and sometimes it may exceed this value. Both bulk densities depend on the actual density, surface form and particle size of the fertilizers. The bulk density (loose) tan be used to calculate the maximum volume of a given weight of fertilizer which may be expected in practice. The actual volume occupied by a given weight of fertilizer will normally be within the range calculated from the bulk density (loose) and the bulk density (tapped). SIST EN 1237:1998

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 5311:1992(E) Fertilizers - Determination of bulk density (tapped) 1 Scope This International Standard specifies two methods for the determination of the bulk density (tapped) of solid fertilizers: - the machine-tapping method (method 1); - the hand-tapping method (method 2). These methods are applicable to dry fertilizers only. If the fertilizer has absorbed moisture during trans- port or storage, it is necessary to dry it in an en- vironmental chamber, with constant low humidity, Prior to the determination. Neither method is suitable for materials which con- tain a large proportion of particles exceeding 5 mm in diameter. Method 2 is applicable only to spherical granules and to prills. lt is not applicable to sharp-edged grains. NOTE 1 Because of the differentes in tapping tech- nique, the two methods will not necessarily give the same value for the bulk density (tapped). 2 Normative references The following Standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. At the time of publi- cation, the editions indicated were valid.
