BS 6043 discusses carbonaceous materials used in aluminium manufacture. BS 6043-4.6 belongs to the BS 6043 multi-series and discusses the determination of maximum rammed apparent density of unbaked paste used for aluminium manufacture.
BS 6043-4.6 describes a method for the determination of the maximum rammed apparent density (MRAD) achievable by ramming compaction for unbaked cold ramming pastes used in aluminium manufacture.
BS 6043-4.6 on maximum rammed apparent density of unbaked paste used for aluminium manufacture is useful for:
As the apparent density of ramming materials asymptotically approaches a maximum as ramming proceeds, it is necessary for practical purposes to limit the number of ramming strokes to that which gives an acceptably close approximation to the true maximum apparent density.
BS 6043-4.6 guides you with the apparatus and sampling required for the test procedure. BS 6043-4.6 also provides guidance with the preparation of the test sample. BS 6043-4.6 guides you with the test procedure and calculation of results. BS 6043-4.6 helps you manufacture high-quality aluminium.
