AS 4489.10.1:1997 (R2016) PDF Download

AS 4489.10.1:1997 (R2016) provides a set of test methods for determining the bulk density of limes and limestones, specifically focusing on quicklime and hydrated lime. The standard outlines a systematic approach to measuring the bulk density, an important parameter for assessing the quality and properties of these materials.

The standard defines the procedure for conducting the test, including the necessary equipment and apparatus required. It provides step-by-step instructions for sample preparation, including drying and grinding, to ensure uniformity and accuracy in the measurements. The standard also outlines the recommended sampling techniques to obtain representative samples for testing.

Furthermore, AS 4489.10.1:1997 (R2016) specifies the calculation method for determining the bulk density, taking into account the mass of the sample and the volume it occupies. The standard also addresses potential issues and sources of error in the measurement process, providing guidelines for minimizing variability and obtaining reliable results.
