QUANTITATIVE MEASUREMENT EVALUATION METHOD FOR CONSOLIDATION STATE OF ORGANIC COMPOUND POWDER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method allowing rupture strength of organic compound powders to be quantitatively measured without sampling the organic compound powders consolidated in a storage vessel to check which degree of strength actually consolidated organic compound powders have and at which degree of external force they are broken and allowing it to be quantitatively evaluated.;SOLUTION: The relation of insertion force and rupture strength is obtained from the relation of rupture strength and compression load obtained at a second measurement step and the relation of insertion force and compression load. Consequently, correlation of insertion force and rupture strength can be obtained. Furthermore, correlation of the number of months for leaving the organic compound powders alone and insertion force can be obtained based on data obtained from a first measurement step and the second measurement step.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
