3、does notreact with material.The range of pore volume is 0.25 mL/g to0.46 mL/g.1.2 This guide is suitable for fine catalysts such as fluidcatalytic cracking(FCC)catalysts(fresh or equilibrium),catalyst additives and spray dried catalyst carriers or finishedcatalysts,or a combination thereof,and is ty
4、pically applicableto powders with the majority of particles(above 90%)in thedistribution range between 20 and 150 m equivalent sphericaldiameter(determined by Test Method D4464)and with anaverage particle size between 60 and 100 m.NOTE1This technique is capable of measuring particles below andabove
5、this range(for example,from 1 to 300 m)but no precision data isavailable.1.3 UnitsThe values stated in SI units are to be regardedas standard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its
