ASTM D 4570 : 2002 : R2021

1.1This test method covers the particle size measurement of the coarse fraction of ground sulfurs. It is limited to measurement of particles greater than 45 μm (No. 325 sieve). If the sulfur is very fine and the screens become plugged by the caking of the sulfur, it may be necessary to use a wet sieve procedure instead.

1.2The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.

1.3This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.4This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
