Determination of effective density of metal powder
Liquid impregnation method
1.Scope
This document describes a method for determining the effective density of metal powders using the specific gravity bottle method.
This document applies to the determination of the effective density of metal powders. Other sintered metal materials (limited to particles or components without closed pores) are also included.
For reference in the determination of true density.
2 Normative references
The contents of the following documents, through normative references within the text, constitute essential provisions of this document. Dated citations are not included.
For references to documents, only the version corresponding to that date applies to this document; for undated references, the latest version (including all amendments) applies.

GB/T 8170 Rules for rounding off numerical values and the representation and determination of limiting values
3.Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this document.
3.1
The volume occupied by powder particles after removing the volume of all open pores.
3.2
The mass of the powder is divided by the effective volume of the powder.
Note. When closed pores exist in the particles, the closed pores are considered as part of the volume of a single particle.
3.3
pycnometry (specific gravity bottle method)
A method of determining the effective density of powders or granules using a specific gravity bottle.
Note. This is a type of liquid impregnation method.
4.Principles
The metal powder sample is placed in a specific gravity bottle with known mass and volume, a liquid medium is added, and the liquid is degassed using a vacuum degassing method or an ultrasonic bath.
The medium fully penetrates the open pores of the powder particles. Based on Archimedes' principle, the effective volume of the powder is measured, and thus the unit volume is calculated.
The mass of the powder is its effective density.
5.Reagents or materials
A liquid with good wettability and low volatility under vacuum should be selected. The impregnation solution should not chemically react with the sample or dissolve it.
Products. Xylene, degassed distilled water, ethanol, etc. can be selected as impregnation solutions.
6.Instruments and Equipment
6.1 Specific Gravity Bottle
A glass specific gravity bottle is recommended, such as the Gay-Lussac glass specific gravity bottle with a volume of 25 mL as specified in GB/T 21785.
Or 50mL, see Figure 1 for a schematic diagram of a glass specific gravity bottle.
Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a glass specific gravity bottle
6.2 Vacuum Degassing Device
The vacuum degassing device should be large enough to accommodate a specific gravity bottle, allowing for clear observation of the sample inside. This device should be compatible with a vacuum pump.
Connect the components to create a vacuum environment for the specific gravity bottle, as shown in Figure A.1 of Appendix A.
6.3 Vacuum Pump
The vacuum level can reach 666.5 Pa (5 mmHg).
6.4 Vacuum Gauge
The measurement range is 0 kPa to 26.66 kPa (0 mmHg to.200 mmHg).
6.5 balance
The graduation value is 0.0001g.
6.6 Thermometer
The graduation value shall not be less than 0.1℃.
6.7 Ultrasonic Cleaner
An ultrasonic cleaner should be able to allow the gas adsorbed by the sample to escape without shattering the sample due to excessive power.
7 samples
The sample should be in powder form. It should be dried in an oven at 100℃~105℃ to constant weight and then cooled to room temperature in a dry container.
Use. When the sample is unstable at the drying temperature, vacuum drying should be performed.
8.Test conditions
The ambient temperature should be between 15℃ and 30℃, and the fluctuation of the test temperature in sections 9.3.3.2 to 9.3.3.4 should be controlled within ±1℃.
9.Experimental Procedure
9.1 Samples
Weigh a certain amount of sample, accurate to 0.0001g. The amount of sample required for a single specific gravity bottle test is about 1/3 of the bottle's volume.
9.2 Parallel Tests
Perform two parallel experiments and take the average value.
9.3 Measurement
9.3.1 Determination of the mass of a specific gravity bottle
9.3.1.1 Wash the specific gravity bottle (6.1), dry it thoroughly, weigh it, and record it as mp1, accurate to 0.0001g.
9.3.1.2 Put the sample (9.1) into a specific gravity bottle, weigh it, and record the weight as mp2.
9.3.2 Degassing
Slowly add the impregnation solution to the specific gravity bottle (9.3.1.2) until the liquid level exceeds the sample level. Prevent splashing of the sample when adding the impregnation solution.
Use the following two methods to remove gas.
---Method 1.Place the specific gravity bottle containing the sample and impregnation liquid into the vacuum degassing device (6.2) for degassing. When the pressure reaches 13.33 kPa...
(100 mmHg) Stop degassing when no more bubbles overflow from the specific gravity bottle and return to normal pressure. During degassing, the pressure should be reduced slowly to allow the immersion to settle.
The liquid should not boil, and the sample should not splash out of the bottle.
---Method 2.Place the specific gravity bottle containing the sample and impregnation solution into an ultrasonic cleaner (6.7) for ultrasonic bath until no more bubbles overflow.
A small amount of surfactant can be added to the impregnation solution to reduce surface tension.
9.3.3 Determination of the volume of the specific gravity bottle and the effective density of the impregnating liquid
9.3.3.1 Remove the specific gravity bottle (9.3.2) and let it stand for a period of time to allow the temperature of the impregnation solution to return to room temperature. Record the temperature after thermal equilibrium is reached.
9.3.3.2 Fill the specific gravity bottle with the impregnation solution (9.3.3.1) (ensure the cap tube is also filled with liquid), weigh it, and record the weight as mp3.(Specific gravity bottle method)
The intention is shown in Figure A.2.
9.3.3.3 Remove the sample and impregnation solution from the specific gravity bottle (9.3.3.2). Wash and dry the specific gravity bottle, then pour in unused impregnation solution.
The liquid is allowed to permeate until the thin tube in the bottle cap is also filled with liquid. The weight is recorded as mp4.
9.3.3.4 Measuring the effective density of the impregnation solution using the specific gravity bottle method. Fill the bottle with degassed distilled water of known density (see Appendix B) at the test temperature.
The specific gravity bottle is weighed and denoted as mw. The volume V0 of the specific gravity bottle is calculated according to formula (1).
V0=
