Bulk Modulus (Up To 8 Temperatures)
Test ID
M-014
Description
A dried sample of approximately 1 gram is loaded into a sample cell and placed in the PVT apparatus. An isothermal heating scan is performed on the sample. Readings of volume change are recorded by an LVDT for during the pressure sweep for the temperatures selected. Volumetric stress strain curves are used to calculate the bulk modulus of the material. Included in the test price is a solid density measurement, as described in test [D-010].
Options
Data may be gathered while cooling the specimen.
Standards
- DPL D-020
Data
Bulk Modulus v. Temperature, Solid Density, Specific Volume v. Temperature. This data appears in Matereality as Pressure-Volume-Temperature.
Replicates
Number of times this test is repeated: 1
Samples
1 parts, any shape [details]
Application
Bulk modulus is used in FEA calculations, and is a measure of the ability of a substance to withstand changes of volume when under compression on all sides.
