scope:

This standard describes a procedure for determining the apparent density of both free and non-free flowing powders and premixes. The value obtained may not be the same as that obtained by other apparent density tests but is indicative of the fill characteristics of the powder or premix. See MPIF Standards 04 and 28 for other apparent density test methods.

With the exception of density, for which g/cm³ is the industry standard, SI units are used in this standard. Values in inch-pound units are shown in parentheses and result from conversion in accordance with IEEE/ASTM Standard SI 10. They may be approximate and are only for information.

This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the potential safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
