Matériaux métalliques frittés, à l'exclusion des métaux-durs — Matériaux métalliques frittés perméables — Détermination de la masse volumique, de la teneur en huile et de la porosité ouverte

Abstract / scope

This document specifies methods for determining the density (dry density or fully impregnated density), oil content (related to test piece volume and related to open porosity) and open porosity of permeable sintered metal materials.

This document applies in particular to porous metal bearings and to structural parts produced by pressing and sintering metal powders.
