Scope:
The ASTM E382 test technique is used to determine the crushing strength of burnt iron ore pellets, although it does not apply to cylindrical agglomerates, briquettes, or reduced pellets. The crushing strength assists the pellet producer in identifying quality that is linked with pellet production. The crushing strength is frequently utilized by pellet consumers as a quality indicator for blast furnace performance.
Test Procedure:
In ASTM E382 test procedures, a force is delivered to a single pellet at a preset speed of the compressive plate until the pellet is broken. This method is carried out on each of the test sample’s pellets.
Specimen Size:
According to ASTM E382, the test sample should be 12.5 +9.5 mm in size. The process necessitates at least sixty iron ore pellets.
Data:
According to ASTM E382, rushing strength is given as the average of all measurements in kilogram-force.
Conclusion:
ASTM E382 test method specifies how to measure the crushing strength of burned iron ore pellets.
