Procedure Calculate the load in lbs. Calculate the hydraulic pressure to obtain the loads if the piston has an area of 3 square inches. Let height equal diameter. Press 8 pellets using that quantity from the dense grain-sized mixture of experiment 5. Adjust the volume of fill as necessary but produce two pellets at each pressure.
Measure pellet height and weight.
Calculate green bulk density. Dry the pellets at 110 degrees Celsius and weigh and measure again. Make Archimedes measurements in kerosene. Calculate dry, bulk and apparent density, apparent porosity. Store the specimens for Mat E 322.
