Introduction

Due to the different requirements of grinding purpose, grinding efficiency, grinding accuracy, etc., the requirements for abrasive size are also different, so the abrasive needs to be the abrasive is processed and graded into different particle sizes to meet different grinding requirements. This requires characterization and testing of the particle size of the abrasive and its Row standardization.

Particle size composition is a specific characterization of abrasive particle size, which is based on the corresponding detection technology.

There are many technologies for the characterization and detection of particle size. However, due to the limitations of the technology, as well as considerations of efficiency and economy, no one technology has been successfully used.

This technology is fully applicable to the characterization and detection of all particle sizes of abrasives.

Generally, the particle size of coarser abrasives is characterized and tested based on sieving methods, while the particle size of finer abrasives is characterized and tested based on sedimentation methods and other methods.

Correspondingly, the particle size of abrasives is divided into coarse abrasive particles and fine powder from coarse to fine.

GB/T 9258 "Testing and marking of abrasive grain size composition for coated abrasives" is intended to consist of two parts.

--- Part 2: Coarse abrasive grains P12~P220.The purpose is to provide the particle size characterization and detection method of coarse abrasive grains for coated abrasives.

law and specifies marking and logo requirements.

--- Part 3: Micropowders P240~P5000.The purpose is to provide the particle size characterization and detection methods of micropowder abrasives for coated abrasives, and Specify marking and signage requirements.

Detection and marking of abrasive particle size composition for coated abrasives Part 3: Micro powder P240~P5000

1 Scope

This document specifies the determination or test method for the particle size composition of ordinary abrasive micropowders P240~P5000 for coated abrasives.

This document applies to abrasives used in the manufacture of coated abrasives and to abrasives recovered from coated abrasives for testing purposes.

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 terms and definitions defined in GB/T 16458 and the following apply to this document.

microgrit

Abrasive particles with an equivalent median particle size of 58.5 µm to 2.7 µm and a particle size composition (3.2) determined by sedimentation method.

The mass fraction of abrasive particles of different sizes in a certain particle size number.

4 Particle size composition of micropowder P240~P1200

For the determination of fine powder with particle size of P240~P1200 by sedimentation method, a sedimentation tube particle size analyzer (see 5.2.1) should be used.

The volume of the suspended abrasive sample settled in the collection tube within a certain period of time and the equivalent particle size were calculated according to Stokes' law.

The criteria for determining the particle size composition of micropowder P240~P1200 are as follows.

a) The first particle to settle is the largest particle, and its particle size (theoretical particle size) should not exceed the maximum allowable value of ds0;

b) At the 3% point of the particle size composition curve, the particle size (theoretical particle size) should not exceed the maximum allowable value of ds3;

c) At the 50% point of the particle size composition curve, the median particle size (theoretical particle size) should be within the specified ds50 allowable deviation;

d) At the 95% point of the particle size composition curve, the particle size (theoretical particle size) should reach the minimum allowable value of ds95.
