7 types of volumeters available, wood and/or stainless steel

Standards

Meets ASTM B329

Procedure

Weigh the empty, dry cubic inch measure on a balance sensitive to 0.1 gram.
Place the tared measure below the opening at the bottom of the baffle column
Pour somewhat more than a cubic inch of the powder sample, dry and free from lumps, on the upper funnel and gently rub it through the screen with a non-metallic spatula. When the measure is full to overflowing, level it with a spatula to ensure that it is exactly full, being careful not to compress or shake down the material in the measure.
Weigh the measure and its contents.
Subtract the weight of the empty measure. The difference is the "apparent density" in terms of weight per cubic inch.
After each determination, the funnels and measure should be removed and cleaned with a soft brush and the baffle box should be tapped to free it of any adhering pigment.
