The ASTM C1730 standard regulates the measurement of ceramic powder for particle size distribution. The size-sedimentation velocity connection utilized in the ASTM C1730 test technique implies particle sediment in a laminar regime.
Scope:
The ASTM C1730 standard is helpful for the producer and user of ceramic powders. Manufacturers rely on the ASTM C1730 test data’s validity for its use in specification preparation or predicting the quality of the materials examined.The ASTM C1730 standards can be applied to other ceramic materials based on their property of X-ray absorption.
Test Procedure:
In ASTM C1730 Standard method A thoroughly dispersed homogeneous suspension of the powder is allowed to settle in a cell scanned by a collimated X-ray beam of constant intensity. The net X-ray signal is inversely proportional to the sample concentration in the dispersing medium, and the diameter of the particle is related to the point of the X-ray beam relative to the top of the cell. Cumulative mass percent versus equivalent spherical diameter is recorded to yield a particle size distribution curve.
Specimen Size :
In ASTM C1730, silicon nitride powder with a determined median diameter of 1.0 m is used.
The silicon carbide with the mass of 5g per 100 mL of dispersing medium is used.
Data:
The ASTM C1730 is useful in finding the particle distribution of ceramic materials by monitoring sedimentation gravity. The ASTM C1730 standards works on the Reynolds number (Re) that is given by Re = D3 (ρ – ρo) ρo g / 18 η2
Since:
D = the diameter of the largest particle in cm.
ρ = the particle density.
ρ0 = the suspending liquid density.
g = the acceleration due to gravity.
η = the suspending liquid viscosity.

The ASTM D2674 is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etches solution used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
