Scope
GB/T 25995-2010 (Test methods for density and apparent porosity of fine ceramics) is available as an English-translated PDF.
GB/T 25995-2010 is the Chinese standard "Test methods for density and apparent porosity of fine ceramics".
Its scope clause reads: This Standard specifies the instruments and equipment, test pieces, test procedure, result calculation, and test report for the test methods for apparent solid density, bulk density, and apparent porosity of fine ceramics.
This Standard applies to bulk fine ceramics; other inorganic non-metallic materials may also refer to this Standard. NOTE. This method is not applicable to materials with an apparent porosity greater than 10 %.
Furthermore, the measurement of apparent porosity when the apparent porosity is less than 0.5 % may be inaccurate. Its clauses include terms and definitions; instruments and equipment; test pieces; test procedure.
It was issued by the State Administration for Market Regulation on 2011-01-10 and took effect on 2011-10-01.

1 Scope
This Standard specifies the instruments and equipment, test pieces, test procedure, result calculation, and test report for the test methods for apparent solid density, bulk density, and apparent porosity of fine ceramics.
This Standard applies to bulk fine ceramics; other inorganic non-metallic materials may also refer to this Standard.
NOTE. This method is not applicable to materials with an apparent porosity greater than 10 %.
Furthermore, the measurement of apparent porosity when the apparent porosity is less than 0.5 % may be inaccurate.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
GB/T 8747 Meteorological liquid-in-glass thermometer (GB/T 8747-1988, neq ISO
386.1977)
GB/T 22230 Liquid chemical products for industrial use - Determination of density at 20 °C (GB/T 22230-2008, ISO 758.1976, IDT)
3 Terms and definitions
For the purpose of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1 open pores
Pores that can be connected to air or penetrated by the immersion liquid.
3.2 closed pores
Pores that cannot be connected to air or penetrated by the immersion liquid.
3.3 bulk volume
Sum of the volumes of the solid material, the open pores, and the closed pores.
3.4 apparent solid volume
Sum of the volumes of the solid material and the closed pores.
3.5 apparent solid density
Ratio of the mass of the dried material to the apparent solid volume.
3.6 bulk density
Ratio of the mass of the dried material to the bulk volume.
3.7 apparent porosity
Ratio of the volume of the open pores to the bulk volume.
4 Instruments and equipment
4.1 Oven
An oven with a temperature control range of 110 °C ± 5 °C.
4.2 Balance
When the mass of the test piece is not greater than 10 g, the accuracy is 0.1 mg; when the mass of the test piece is greater than 10 g, the accuracy is 0.001 % of the mass of the test piece.
4.3 Heating apparatus
An apparatus capable of boiling the sample.
4.4 Thermometer
Accurate to ±1 °C as specified in GB/T 8747.
4.5 Immersion liquid
For test pieces that do not react with water, use distilled water or ion-exchanged water.
For test pieces that react with water, use a suitable organic liquid.
4.6 Basket
A basket for placing the test piece in the immersion liquid to determine the suspended mass.
4.7 Suspending wire
Diameter not greater than 0.25 mm, and the wire shall be clean.
4.8 Evaporating apparatus
Pressure not greater than 2.5 kPa when using the vacuum method.
5 Test pieces
5.1 Volume
The volume of the test piece for each test shall not be less than 0.4 cm³.
When the volume of a single sample is less than 0.4 cm³, multiple samples shall be combined to form a test piece with a total volume greater than 0.4 cm³ for testing, but the volume of each sample shall not be less than 0.04 cm³.
NOTE. If the volume of the test piece is less than 0.04 cm³, the bulk density can only be obtained by performing geometric measurements on processed test pieces. The apparent porosity of this kind of test pieces can be measured using the mercury porosimetry.
5.2 Surface
The surface of test pieces shall be free of contamination and shall not crumble during the test.
6 Test procedure
6.1 Measuring the mass of the dry test piece
Dry the test piece in the oven at 100 °C ± 5 °C, cool it to room temperature in a desiccator and weigh it again; repeat this step until a constant weight is obtained, which gives the mass of the dry test piece, m1.If the test piece cracks during boiling, the mass of the dry test piece, m1, shall be weighed after weighing the suspended mass, m2, and the mass of the wet test piece, m3.
6.2 Immersing the test piece in liquid
6.2.1 Boiling method
The boiling method is suitable for materials that do not react with water.
Immerse the test piece in water, ensuring it remains submerged, and boil for at least 3 h. Cool to room temperature. Water at room temperature can also be used to cool the test piece.
6.4 Measuring the mass of the wet test piece
Remove the test piece from the liquid, wipe the liquid off the outer surface of the wet test piece with an absorbent cloth, such as gauze or soft leather, then quickly weigh the test piece to obtain the mass of the wet test piece, m3.
The absorbent cloth shall be completely soaked in the immersion liquid and gently wrung out to avoid drawing water from the pores of the test piece.
6.5 Measuring the density of the immersion liquid
6.5.1 For water, determine the density using Table 1.
