Standard test dust
DMT Quartz Sand | 4.2.1.3
General description
DMT quartz sand according to chapter 4.2.1.3 of the MIL-Standard-810G is used for the evaluation of various devices and components exposed to sands and dusty atmospheres.
Composition
The specified particle size distribution is shown in the following table:
x (µm) | Q3(x) (%) |
´850.0 | 100.0 |
Transport and Storage
Partial segregation may occur during transport and storage. It is therefore recommended to homogenize the DMT Quartz Sand | 4.2.1.3 before use, which can be achieved by mixing with a laboratory tumbler mixer. Please store in a dry and airtight original container.
Quality ensurance
In order to achieve reproducible quality, the raw materials and production are strictly controlled. The following quality controls are carried out:
Monitoring the particle size distribution of raw materials
Monitoring the particle size distribution of the end product
