This appropriation request will provide capital funds to replace an aged aggregate size analyzer. By the completion of this project, it will provide appropriate technical service to customer continually as well as be useful for new product development.
CCK will purchase upgraded aggregate size analyzer, Brookhaven model BI-DCP, compared to current one. New equipment has scanning mode which can significantly reduces test time as moving the detector during the measurement. Also it can be increased in maximum speed from 12,000 rpm to 15,000 rpm, therefore it is possible to analyze the carbon black aggregate size up to 30 ㎛.
