Additive Caking Test
Apparatus and Method
Apparatus Method
• Beaker glass • Sample is weighed 100gr, and put into beaker glass
• Load • Applied load on sample
• Put beaker glass inside 40oC oven for 7 days
Testing Condition • After 7 days, remove load, then reverse the glass until the position is upside
down
Temperature
40oC to simulate WH temperature • Measure the weight of fallen samples when glass is reversed (A)
• Apply impact until no more sample falls from the glass
Stress on Sample
• Weigh the fallen sample (B)
Applied load above sample to simulate load received by additive in warehouse.
Load used in this testing is 3 kg.
