Plastic Materials Apparent Density Definition – LABULK Series Apparent Density Testers

Plastic Materials Apparent Density Definition – LABULK 307/308/305/306

It is the weight per unit volume of plastic materials, including voids inherent in the plastic materials as tested. The term bulk density is commonly used for plastic materials such as molding powder.

• LABULK 307 Plastic Materials Apparent Density Apparatus is manufactured according to ASTM D 1895 Standard Test Method for Apparent Density, Bulk Factor, and Pourability of Plastic Materials-Test Method A. It is used to measure the apparent density of the fine granules and powders that can be poured readily through a small funnel. It can also be used to measure the bulk factor and pourability of plastic materials.

• LABULK 305 Plastic Materials Bulk Density Apparatus is an apparatus measures physically the apparent density of plastic materials and moulding materials. It is produced according to international standard ISO 60. LABULK 305 also meets DIN 53 466.

LABULK 305 Bulk Density Apparatus

• LABULK 306 Plastics Materials Apparent Density Apparatus is used to measure the apparent density of materials supplied in the form of coarse flakes, chips, cut fibers, or strands. Such materials cannot be poured through the funnels described in ASTM D1895 Test Methods A and B. Also, since they ordinarily are very bulky when loosely poured and since they usually are compressible to a lesser bulk, even by hand, a measure of their density under a small load is appropriate and useful.

LABULK 306 Apparent Density Apparatus

 

• LABULK 308 Plastic Materials Apparent Density Tester is manufactured according to ASTM D 1895 Standard Test Method for Apparent Density, Bulk Factor, and Pourability of Plastic Materials – Test Method B. It is used to measure the apparent density of coarse, granular materials, including dice and pellets, that either cannot be poured or that pour with difficulty through the funnel described in ASTM D1895 Test Method A.
