ASTM D1511

The variation in the size of the pellets may relate to the level of dispersion and to the ease of handling. Due to the many other variables that influence dispersion and handling, the significance of pellet size must be determined by the user.

1. Scope

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the pellet size distribution of carbon black.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
