Metallic powders - Determination of envelope-specific surface area from measurements of the permeability to air of a powder bed under steady-state flow conditions (ISO 10070:2019)

This document specifies a method of measuring the air permeability and the porosity of a packed bed of metal powder, and of deriving therefrom the value of the envelope-specific surface area. The permeability is determined under steady-state flow conditions, using a laminar flow of air at a pressure near atmospheric. This document does not include the measurement of permeability by a constant volume method.
Several different methods have been proposed for this determination, and several test devices are available commercially. They give similar, reproducible results, provided that the general instructions given in this document are respected, and the test parameters are identical.
This document does not specify a particular commercial test device and corresponding test procedure. However, for the convenience of the user, an informative annex has been included (see Annex A) which is intended to give some practical information on three specific methods:
—     the Lea and Nurse method, involving a test device which can be built in a laboratory (see A.1);
—     the Zhang Ruifu method, using a similar test device (see A.2);
—     the Gooden and Smith method, involving a test device which can be built in a laboratory but for which a commercial test device also exists. (Two types of commercial test device exist; one of these is no longer available for purchase, but is still being used, see A.3.)
These methods are given as examples only. Other test devices available in various countries are acceptable within the scope of this document.
This testing method is applicable to all metallic powders, including powders for hardmetals, up to 1 000 µm in diameter, but it is generally used for particles having diameters between 0,2 µm and 75,0 µm. It is not intended to be used for powders composed of particles whose shape is far from equiaxial, i.e. flakes or fibres, unless specifically agreed upon between the parties concerned.
This testing method is not applicable to mixtures of different metallic powders or powders containing binders or lubricant.
If the powder contains agglomerates, the measured surface area can be affected by the degree of agglomeration. If the powder is subjected to a de-agglomeration treatment (see Annex B), the method used is to be agreed upon between the parties concerned.

Metallpulver - Bestimmung der spezifischen Außenoberfläche durch Messung der Permeabilität von Luft in einem Pulverbett unter gleichförmigen Strömungsbedingungen (ISO 10070:2019)

Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zur Messung der Luftpermeabilität und der Porosität eines verdichteten Pulverbetts und daraus die Ableitung des Wertes für die spezifische Außenoberfläche fest. Die Permeabilität wird unter gleichförmigen Strömungsbedingungen mithilfe eines laminaren Luftstromes bei nahezu atmosphärischem Druck bestimmt. Dieses Dokument umfasst nicht die Messung der Permeabilität mithilfe des Verfahrens bei konstantem Volumen.
Für diese Bestimmung wurden mehrere unterschiedliche Verfahren vorgeschlagen und viele kommerzielle Prüfgeräte stehen zur Verfügung. Sie ergeben ähnliche, wiederholbare Ergebnisse, vorausgesetzt, die allgemeinen Anweisungen dieses Dokuments werden eingehalten und die Prüfparameter sind identisch.
Dieses Dokument behandelt kein bestimmtes kommerzielles Prüfgerät mit dem dazugehörigen Prüfverfahren. Trotzdem ist zur besseren Benutzerfreundlichkeit ein informativer Anhang mit praktischen Hinweisen zu drei spezifischen Verfahren angefügt (siehe Anhang A):
- das Verfahren nach Lea und Nurse, einschließlich eines Prüfgeräts, das in einem Labor aufgebaut werden kann (siehe A.1);
- das Verfahren nach Zhang Ruifu mit ähnlichem Prüfgerät (siehe A.2);
- das Verfahren nach Gooden und Smith, einschließlich eines Prüfgeräts, das in einem Labor aufgebaut werden kann, für das aber auch ein kommerzielles Prüfgerät existiert. (Es stehen zwei kommerzielle Prüfgeräte zur Verfügung; eines davon ist nicht mehr käuflich erwerbbar, wird jedoch nach wie vor eingesetzt – siehe A.3).
Diese Verfahren sind lediglich Beispiele. Innerhalb des Anwendungsbereiches dieses Dokuments sind auch andere Prüfgeräte, die in den verschiedenen Ländern zur Verfügung stehen, zulässig.
Dieses Prüfverfahren ist für alle Metallpulver, einschließlich Hartmetallpulver, mit einem Teilchendurchmesser bis 1 000 µm anwendbar, wird aber im Allgemeinen für Pulverteilchen mit einem Durchmesser von 0,2 µm bis 75,0 µm angewendet. Es dient nicht dazu, bei Pulvern angewendet zu werden, deren Pulverteilchen stark von der äquiaxialen Form abweichen, d. h. flocken- und nadelförmig, außer das wurde zwischen den beteiligten Parteien speziell vereinbart.
Dieses Prüfverfahren ist nicht anwendbar bei Gemischen aus verschiedenen Metallpulvern oder bei Pulvern, die Bindemittel oder Gleitmittel enthalten.
Wenn das Pulver Agglomerate enthält, kann die gemessene Oberfläche durch den Agglomerationsgrad beeinflusst sein. Wenn das Pulver einer Desagglomerationsbehandlung unterzogen wird (siehe Anhang B), muss das angewendete Verfahren zwischen den beteiligten Parteien vereinbart werden.

Poudres métalliques - Détermination de la surface spécifique d'enveloppe à partir de mesures de la perméabilité à l'air d'un lit de poudre dans des conditions d'écoulement permanent (ISO 10070:2019)

Le présent document spécifié une méthode de mesure de la perméabilité à l'air et de la porosité d'un lit de poudre métallique tassé, et permettant de déduire une valeur de la surface spécifique d'enveloppe. La perméabilité est déterminée dans des conditions d'écoulement permanent, à l'aide d'un débit d'air laminaire à une pression voisine de la pression atmosphérique. Le présent document ne traite pas de la mesure de la perméabilité à volume constant.
Plusieurs méthodes sont proposées pour remplir l'objectif fixé. De nombreux appareils d'essai, disponibles dans le commerce, permettent de mener à bien la détermination. Ces appareils d'essai donnent des résultats similaires et reproductibles dans la mesure où les instructions générales données dans le présent document sont respectées et où les paramètres d'essai identiques.
II n'est pas possible, dans le présent document, de se limiter à un appareil d'essai du commerce particulier et au mode opératoire d'essai correspondant. En vue d'aider néanmoins l'utilisateur, une annexe est prévue (voir Annexe A) pour donner des renseignements pratiques sur trois méthodes spécifiques:
—          la méthode Lea et Nurse, impliquant un appareil d'essai conçu en laboratoire (voir A.1);
—          la méthode Zhang Ruifu, utilisant un appareil d'essai similaire (voir A.2);
—          la méthode Gooden et Smith impliquant un appareil d'essai qui peut être conçu en laboratoire, mais correspond aussi à un modèle du commerce. (Deux types d'appareil d'essai du commerce existent; l'un d'eux n'est plus disponible à l'achat, mais est toujours utilisé, voir A.3.
Ces méthodes sont données uniquement à titre d'exemple, mais n'excluent pas l'emploi d'autres matériels commercialisés dans certains pays et conformes au présent document.
La méthode d'essai est applicable à toutes les poudres métalliques, y compris les poudres de métaux durs, jusqu'à 1 000 μm de diamètre, mais est généralement réservée aux particules de diamètre comprises entre 0,2 et 75 μm. Elle n'est pas destinée à être utilisée pour les poudres composées de particules dont la forme s'écarte trop de I'équiaxialité, par exemple du type flocons ou fibres. Dans ce cas, il est admis de ne l'utiliser qu'avec le consentement de toutes les parties concernées.
La méthode d'essai n'est pas utilisable pour les mélanges de poudres métalliques différentes ou de poudres renfermant des liants ou lubrifiants.
Lorsque la poudre contient des agglomérats, la surface mesurée peut être affectée par le degré d'agglomération. Si la poudre est soumise à un traitement de désagglomération (voir Annexe B), la méthode utilisée doit être subordonnée à l'accord des parties concernées.

Kovinski prah - Ugotavljanje specifične ovojne površine z merjenjem zračne prepustnosti nasute plasti prašnih delcev pri ustaljenem toku zraka skoznjo (ISO 10070:2019)

Ta dokument določa metodo za merjenje zračne prepustnosti in poroznosti plasti kovinskega prahu in za izpeljevanje vrednosti specifične ovojne površine iz tega. Prepustnost se določa pod ustaljenimi pogoji pretoka, z uporabo laminarnega zračnega toka pri tlaku, ki je blizu atmosferskemu. Ta dokument ne vključuje merjenja prepustnosti po metodi konstantne prostornine. Za to ugotavljanje je bilo predlaganih več različnih metod in komercialno je na voljo več preskusnih naprav. Te naprave dajejo podobne rezultate z možnostjo reprodukcije pod pogojem, da se upoštevajo splošna navodila, podana v tem dokumentu, in da so preskusni parametri enaki. Ta dokument ne določa posebne komercialne preskusne naprave in ustreznega preskusnega postopka. Vendar je bil v pomoč uporabniku vključen informativni dodatek (glej dodatek A), katerega namen je podati nekaj praktičnih informacij glede treh specifičnih metod: – metoda Lea in Nurse, ki vključuje preskusno napravo, ki jo je mogoče izdelati v laboratoriju (glej A.1); – metoda Zhang Ruifu, pri kateri se uporablja podobna preskusna naprava (glej A.2); – metoda Gooden in Smith, ki vključuje preskusno napravo, ki jo je mogoče izdelati v laboratoriju, vendar zanjo obstaja tudi komercialna preskusna naprava. (Obstajata dva tipa komercialne preskusne naprave; eden od njiju ni več na voljo za nakup, a se še vedno uporablja, glej A.3.) Te metode so podane le kot primer. Druge preskusne naprave, ki so na voljo v različnih državah, so sprejemljive znotraj področja uporabe tega dokumenta. Ta metoda za preskušanje se uporablja za vse vrste kovinskega prahu, vključno s prahom za trde kovine, s premerom do 1000 μm, vendar se običajno uporablja za delce s premerom med 0,2 μm in 75,0 μm. Metoda ni namenjena za uporabo pri prahu, sestavljenem iz delcev, katerih oblika je daleč od enakoosne, tj. kosmi ali vlakna, razen če se glede tega zadevni stranki izrecno ne dogovorita drugače. Ta metoda za preskušanje se ne uporablja za mešanice različnega kovinskega prahu ali prahu, ki vsebuje veziva ali mazivo. Če prah vsebuje aglomerate, lahko stopnja aglomeracije vpliva na izmerjeno površino. Če prah ni izpostavljen deaglomeracijski obdelavi (glej dodatek B), se morata o uporabljeni metodi dogovoriti obe zadevni stranki.

Introduction
The measurement of the permeability of a packed powder bed to a laminar gas flow is the basis of this
document. The determination can be made either at constant pressure drop (steady-state flow) or at
variable pressure drop (constant volume). This document deals only with determinations made under
steady-state flow conditions.
The permeability measured is influenced by the porosity of the powder bed. For a given particle shape,
the values of permeability and porosity can be used to calculate a specific surface area of the powder by
means of different formulae.
The surface area so calculated includes only those walls of the pores in the powder bed which are swept
by the gas flow. It does not take into account closed or blind pores. It is known as the envelope-specific
surface area. It can be very different from the total surface area of particles as measured, for instance,
by gas adsorption methods.
A single equation is used in the standard methods described in this document. It entails certain
limitations with respect to the type of powder (particle shape) and the porosity of the powder bed for
which the method is applicable. Consequently, this is not an absolute method, and the value obtained
depends upon the procedure
