ASTM D2854 – Standard Test Method for Apparent Density of Activated Carbon
Description:
Significance and Use
4.1 This test method provides a method for determining the packed density of a bed of granular activated carbon. Determination of the packed density is essential when designing vessels to hold the material and for ordering purposes when procuring materials to fill existing vessels.
Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the apparent density of granular activated carbon. For purposes of this test method, granular activated carbon is defined as a minimum of 90 % being larger than 80 mesh.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
