Scope

This European Standard specifies a method based on water absorption with vacuum forThe determination of the bulk density of granular refractory materials (grain bulk density) having a grain size greater than 2 mm.NOTE 1This method is proposed as an alternative toThe method based on mercury displacement with vacuum described in EN 993-17 which is to be used asThe reference method because of its reproducibility. However, mercury is known to be a hazardous substance andThe method described inThis European Standard is recommended for all routine purposes
