PREFACE
This is a free 1 page sample. Access the full version at http://infostore.saiglobal.com.

This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee MN/7, Refractories and
Refractory Materials to supersede AS 1774.25 — 1992.
The objective of this revision is to include the specification for Rees-Hugill density
flasks. These flasks were originally specified in AS 2226 — 1980, which has now been
withdrawn.
The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the
application of the appendix to which they apply. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral
part of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ appendix is only for information and
guidance.

METHOD

1 SCOPE This Standard describes the procedure for determining the density of
refractory materials of particle size less than 500 µm. The method is applicable to
material of density greater than 2000 kg/m 3 but less than 4860 kg/m 3.
NOTE: This method may not give the true density, which is determined by the method given in
AS 1774.6.

2 REFERENCED DOCUMENTS The following documents are referred to in this

3 DEFINITIONS For the purpose of this Standard, the definitions given in AS 2780
and those below apply.
3.1 Capacity to any graduation line — the additional volume of water, at 20°C, which
must be added to the flask, already filled to the datum mark at 20°C, in order to bring the
water surface up to that graduation line, the lowest point of the water meniscus being
adjusted to the top edge of the datum mark and the graduation line respectively.
3.2 Powder density — the ratio of the mass of the material to its apparent solid volume
in the powder form.
