UNE-EN ISO 61:2024

This document specifies a method of determining the apparent density, i.e. the mass per unit of volume, of loose material that cannot be poured from a funnel of specified design.NOTE For a method of determining the apparent density of loose moulding material that can be poured from a specified funnel, see ISO 60.This document applies to loose moulding materials such as slice, granular or powder.When the method is applied to relatively coarse materials, rather variable results may be obtained, owing to the error introduced when a straightedge blade is drawn across the top of the cylinder.A knowledge of apparent density is of limited value in estimating the relative fluffiness or bulk of moulding materials, unless their densities in the moulded condition are approximately the same.
