Scope
GB/T 45760-2025 is the English-translated version of 精细陶瓷 粉体堆积密度测定 松装密度.
GB/T 45760-2025 is the Chinese national method for measuring the untapped bulk density of ceramic powders: the mass of powder that freely fills a container of known volume, divided by that volume and reported in g/cm3.
It covers fine ceramic powders of regular or irregular particle shape and fixes the apparatus and procedure, including the funnel in non-magnetic corrosion-resistant metal such as 304 stainless steel with a 2.5 mm or 5.0 mm orifice, the standard container, the free fall of the powder and the weighing.
Rounding of results follows GB/T 8170 and laboratory competence GB/T 27025. Powder suppliers and ceramic laboratories use it for incoming and process checks. Modified from ISO 23145-2:2012, it was issued on 30 June 2025 and has applied since 1 January 2026.

Foreword
This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for standardization work Part 1: Structure and drafting rules for standardization documents" Drafting.
This document is modified to adopt ISO 23145-2:2012 "Fine ceramics (advanced ceramics, advanced technical ceramics) - Ceramic powder bulk density determination" Part 2: Bulk density. This document adds Chapter 3 "Terms and Definitions".
The technical differences between this document and ISO 23145-2:2012 and their reasons are as follows.
--- Changed the scope of the statement to clarify that the scope of application of this document is the field of fine ceramics (see Chapter 1, ISO 23145-2:2012 Chapter 1);
--- Added the term and definition of "bulk density" to make the concepts of this document clearer (see 3.1);
--- Deleted the expression of "1kg/m³" for the calculated result, which is more in line with the actual situation [see Chapter 7 and Chapter 9 of ISO 23145-2:2012 Chapter g)];
--- Replaced ISO 80000-1:2009 with the normative reference GB/T 8170 to comply with my country's numerical rounding rules and adapt to my country's Technical conditions (see Chapter 8, Chapter 7 of ISO 23145-2:2012);
--- Replaced ISO /IEC 17025:2005 with the normative reference GB/T 27025 to improve operability (see Chapter 9, ISO 23145-2:2012, Chapter 8). The following editorial changes have been made to this document.
--- To coordinate with the existing standard, the name of the standard is changed to "Determination of bulk density of fine ceramic powders - Apparent density";
--- Delete the annotation in Figure 2;
--- Added detailed explanation of formula (1) (see Chapter 8).
1 Scope
This document describes a test method for determining the bulk density of ceramic powders with regular or irregular particle shapes by volumetric measurement.
This document is applicable to the determination of bulk density --- bulk density of fine ceramic powders.
2 Normative references
The contents of the following documents constitute the essential clauses of this document through normative references in this document.
For referenced documents without a date, only the version corresponding to that date applies to this document; for referenced documents without a date, the latest version (including all amendments) applies to This document.

3 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this document.
3.1 Untapped density
The bulk density of a powder is measured after it freely fills a standard container under specified conditions.
Note: This refers to the mass per unit volume of powder in a loosely packed state, in g/cm3.
4 Principles
The powder falls freely into a standard container of known volume in a static state, its mass is weighed, and then divided by the volume of the standard container to calculate the mass. The bulk density of the powder.
5 Test instruments
5.1 Funnel. It should be made of non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant metal material (such as 304 stainless steel) with sufficient wall thickness and hardness to withstand deformation.
The funnel orifice diameter is 2.5mm or 5.0mm (as shown in Figure 1).
