1、Designation:C42916Standard Test Method forSieve Analysis of Raw Materials for Glass Manufacture1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C429;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A numb
2、er in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the sieve analysis of commonraw materials for glass manufacture,such as sand,soda-ash,limestone,alkali-alumina silicate
3、s,and other granular materialsused in glass batch.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values in parentheses are for information only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of t
