New Practice for Recovered Carbon Black (rCB) --- Reduction and Blending of Gross Samples for Testing
1. Scope
1.1 This practice describes the procedure for blending of recovered carbon black, the procedure for the reduction of gross samples of recovered carbon black to the appropriate size for testing and the preparation of the sample for testing. These techniques are intended to minimize variations in measured characteristics between test samples. Standard terminology relating to recovered carbon black samples is found in Terminology D8178. 1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.Keywords
recovered carbon black; reducing and blending recovered carbon blackRationale
Committee D36 on Recovered Carbon Black (rCB) is currently using D5817 from D24 for its blending and reducing activities in sample preparation. D36 needs a standard written to address the unique characteristics of recovered carbon black for these activities.
