SEDIMENTATION TEST

ANALYSE GRANULOMETRIQUE PAR SEDIMENTATION

THE AIM OF THIS STUDY IS TO DEVELOP A TEST PROCEDURE FOR A PARTICLE SIZE ANALYSIS BY SEDIMENTATION (AEROMETER METHOD). THE BASIS OF THE TEST PROCEDURE IS THE STANDARD ASTM D422-63, MODIFIED BY THE ADDITION OF A MANUAL AGITATOR AND CONTROL CYLINDER WHICH MAKE THE CORRECTION OF FACTORS SUCH AS THE MENISCUS AND THE PRESENCE OF THIN AIR AT THE TEMPERATURE OF THE SEDIMENTATION ENVIRONMENT EASIER. THE REPRODUCIBILITY IS FACILITATED, ESPECIALLY FOR THE FIRST MEASUREMENTS AT 0,5 AND 1 MINUTE.
