    Study Notes

    Rubber Particle Size Distribution - Vibratory Shaker System Test Method

    • This test method utilizes a vibratory shaker system, specifically designed to adhere to the guidelines specified in the ASTM D5644-18 Standard Test Method for characterizing rubber materials. Proper adherence to these standards ensures the reliability and accuracy of the test results, which is crucial for industries relying on recycled materials.
    • The primary objective of this test method is to accurately determine the average particle size distribution of recycled particulate rubber, particularly focusing on particles that exceed 90 µm (170 mesh) in size. This size threshold is significant as it impacts the material's application in various contexts, such as construction, automotive, and other manufacturing processes, where specific size distributions can affect performance characteristics.
    • The test results are quantified in both the International System of Units (SI) and traditional U.S. measurements. While both systems are utilized, SI units are typically regarded as the standard in scientific and technical communications, facilitating global comprehension and consistency in data interpretation.
    • The testing is performed with the aid of the W.S. Tyler, Inc. 8-inch Ro-Tap RX-29 Sieve Shaker, an advanced piece of equipment renowned for its precision and reliability in particle size analysis. The Ro-Tap shaker operates through a combination of vertical and horizontal motions, which enhances the sieving process, ensuring that accurate data is achieved.
