In ASTM D7084, "Determination of bulk crush strength of catalysts and catalyst carriers," the crush pressure required to generate 1 wt.% of fines is determined, where 'fines' are defined as particles passing through a mesh size that is half the diameter of the catalyst pellet.
Final revisions are being made on a method for determining the crushing strength of single pellets and spheres. for extruded catalysts. laboratories. ... abrasion of Because steaming is a normal pretreat- ment before measuring fluid cracking catalyst activity, the committee is in the initial stages of developing a procedure to measure …
Cold crushing strength is a measure of the refractory's strength and durability. As refractory falls within the domain of ceramic materials, it tends to fail in brittle fracture. ... In the equipment, the lining …
2.2.2. Crushing strength The crushing strength of extruded alumina was deter-mined by measuring the breaking force for a sample compressed between two parallel plates using a San-tam STM-20 (Iranian) machine. The Side Crushing Strength (SCS) was calculated from the following equation: SCS = F=L; (1) where F is Force (N), and Lis the length of ...

Nevertheless, the statistical nature of the crushing strength of solid catalysts has been ignored unreasonably, as evidenced by the very recent American standard [12] and the catalyst brochures of some important suppliers 38, 39, which require or give crushing strength data only as mean or approximate values.
Hutchings (1986) suggested that the crushing strength of catalyst pellets could be used as a diagnostic test for catalyst mechanical strength. The single pellet crushing strength measurement has, therefore, been accepted as a standard method in many countries (ASTM D4179-01, 2001; ASTM D6175-03, 2003; National Standard of …
