1、Designation:B92217Standard Test Method forMetal Powder Specific Surface Area by Physical Adsorption1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B922;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A
2、number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers determination of surface area ofmetal powders.The test method specifies general proceduresthat are applicable to m
3、any commercial physical adsorptioninstruments.The method provides specific sample outgassingprocedures for listed materials.It includes additional generaloutgassing instructions for other metals.The multipoint equa-tion of Brunauer,Emmett and Teller(BET),2along with thesingle point approximation of
4、the BET equation,forms thebasis for all calculations.1.2 This test method does not include all existing proce-dures appropriate for outgassing metallic materials.The pro-cedures included provided acceptable results for samplesanalyzed during interlaboratory testing.The investigator shalldetermine th
5、e appropriateness of listed procedures.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3.1 State all numerical values in terms of SI units unlessspecific instrumentation software reports surface area usingalternate units.In
6、 this case,present both reported and equiva-lent SI units in the final written report.Many instruments reportsurface area as m2/g,instead of using correct SI units(m2/kg).1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of
7、 the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3B215 Practices for Sampling Metal PowdersB243 Terminology of Powder Metallurgy3.Terminology3.1 Definition
