ASTM D6128 Standard Test Method for Shear Testing of Bulk Solids Using the Jenike Shear Tester

The equipment and protocols for determining the cohesive strength of bulk solids during continuous flow and resting-state storage are covered by ASTM D6128. Measurements of bulk density, wall friction on different wall surfaces, and internal friction are also presented. The design of storage bins and hoppers, particularly the slope and smoothness of the hopper walls to enable mass flow, is most frequently used to prevent flow stoppages caused by ratholing and arching. From this data, parameters for the structural design of such equipment may also be obtained.

    Introduction to ASTM D6128

    In practically every industrial facility, a steady, regulated flow of bulk materials from bins and hoppers is required. Sadly, low stoppages brought on by ratholing and arching are frequent. Additional issues include caking and spoiling of bulk materials in stagnant zones, segregation of particle combinations, uncontrolled flow (flooding) of powders, and structural failures. MaTestLab is one of the best testing service providers, with the best network of testing laboratories in the USA to carry out ASTM D6128 tests for our clients. The usable capacity is also much smaller than the design capacity. Most flow issues can be avoided or reduced by determining the bulk solids’ flow characteristics and building bins and hoppers accordingly.

    ASTM D6128 Test Method

    Shear force – shear strain map determinationFollowing a shear test along the specimen’s whole sheer distance, the shear force – shear strain map is analyzed in ASTM D6128.
    Bulk Density and Shear Point DeterminationFollowing each shear test, the specimen’s bulk density is ascertained. Next, the specimen’s legitimate shear points are identified. Each pre-shear normal stress value is examined independently based on the data.

    ASTM D6128 Test Specimens

    Specimen DetailThe test specimens of ASTM D6128 are bulk solids for which the cohesive strength is determined.
    Specimen SizeBulk materials containing a significant percentage of particles less than 6 mm are used in ASTM D6128.

    ASTM D6128 Test Result

    A thorough method for determining bulk solids’ cohesive strength in both continuous flow and after storage at rest is laid out in ASTM D6128. The standard includes equipment and methods designed specifically to assess bulk solids’ cohesive qualities, providing information on how they flow and store.

    Tests Related to ASTM D6128

    ASTM D6128 is related to tests including ASTM D653 for rock and soil-related terms, ASTM D2216 for finding out soil moisture contents, and ASTM D6026 for usage of significant digits in data.
