1. Scope

1.1 This laboratory test method covers the determination of the compressibility of metal powders and metal powder mixtures as measured by the extent to which a sample can be densified under controlled conditions in a specified die.

1.2 With the exception of density values, for which the g/cm³ unit is the industry standard, the values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values shown in parenthesis are mathematical conversions to SI units that are presented for information only and are not to be considered as standard.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
