Описание (английский):

The method is applicable to solid, but not powder fertilizers, dry only. It is not suitable for fertilizers which contain a large proportion of particles exceeding 5 mm in diameter. Its principle is pouring the fertilizer from a specified funnel into a specified measuring cylinder of known volume and weighing the contents of the cylinder. If the fertilizer has absorbed moisture during transport or storage, it is necessary to dry it in an environmental chamber.

Abstract

Overview

Key Topics

Scope
The method applies exclusively to solid fertilizers that are dry and free-flowing, not suitable for powders or fertilizers with large particles above 5 mm in diameter.
Principle
The bulk density is determined by pouring the fertilizer from a specified funnel into a calibrated measuring cylinder of known volume and then weighing the contents to calculate density.
Apparatus
Key tools include:
- A balance capable of precise weighing (nearest 1 g)
- A removable measuring cylinder without a spout and known volume
- A firmly mounted funnel designed for consistent sample pouring
- A spatula or scraper for leveling excess fertilizer
Sample Preparation
Test samples should be prepared following ISO 7742 and ISO 8358 standards, ensuring representative and adequate sample size. Fertilizers that have absorbed moisture must be dried in an environmental chamber with controlled humidity prior to testing.
Procedure
- Pour fertilizer into the funnel, then release it into the measuring cylinder over 6 to 12 seconds to fill it loosely.
- Clear blockages carefully if the fertilizer doesn’t flow freely.
- Level off surplus fertilizer without compacting the sample.
- Weigh the filled cylinder and record the mass.
- Repeat the process for duplicate determinations to ensure accuracy.
Result Calculation and Repeatability
Bulk density (loose) is calculated as the mass of fertilizer divided by the cylinder volume, expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³). Two measurements must be conducted, and their results should not differ by more than 0.01 g/cm³ to meet repeatability requirements.
Reporting
The test report should include sample identification, reference to ISO 3944:1992, the bulk density results, any observed anomalies during testing, and details of any optional or additional procedures performed.

Applications

Packaging Design
Bulk density data helps in designing appropriate packaging sizes and materials, optimizing transport efficiency and reducing costs.
Storage Management
Knowing the loose bulk density aids in planning storage space within warehouses or stockrooms by estimating the volume requirements for different fertilizer batches.
Quality Control
Manufacturers use this standard method to maintain consistent physical properties of fertilizer products, ensuring bulk density specifications meet customer or regulatory demands.
Transport Logistics
Proper assessment of fertilizer bulk density prevents overloading and ensures safe handling and shipping practices.
