COALMILL

The document discusses standards for determining the apparent density of powders and granules. Apparent density is determined by measuring the mass and volume of a sample, with the volume including spaces between particles. Standards ISO 697 and ISO 60 specify procedures and equipment for reproducible measurements, including a lockable funnel and receiver of known dimensions. Equipment manufacturer Powtec produces devices that comply with these standards, such as the SMG 697 apparatus with a 500ml receiver according to ISO 697.
