Ray-Ran - Apparent Bulk Density Apparatus - ASTM D1895 Method B

Net Weight (kg)	9
Width (cm)	24
Depth (cm)	33
Height (cm)	52

The larger of the ASTM family Method B is primarily used to measure the apparent density of larger coarse granular materials, dice or pellets that cannot be poured readily through the method A funnel. The material under test is allowed to flow into a cylindrical cup with a known volume of 400cm³.

Tests that can be conducted are:

Apparent Density
Bulk Factor
Pourability

Specifications:

V shaped funnel
Measuring cup 400cm³
Stand with funnel shut off
Conforms to ASTM D1895 method B

Ray-Ran - Apparent Bulk Density Apparatus - ASTM D1895 Method C

Net Weight (kg)	4
Width (cm)	10
Depth (cm)	10
Height (cm)	30 (max)

For course flakes, strands, chips and cut fibres that cannot be poured using test methods A and B Ray-Ran offer a measuring cylinder and plunger to method C of the ASTM test standard. Since these types of materials to be tested are very bulky when loosely poured and are usually compressed to lessen the bulk, a measure of their density under a small compression load is very useful. For this test a measuring cylinder of 1000 cm³ is supplied along with a scaled weight plunger with 1mm graduations on the outside. Lead shot is used to increase the plunger weight to 2300g to compress the material under test.

Tests that can be conducted are:
