The HITEC Luxembourg A 2000 is the commercial/industrial scale available solution to test according ASTM D1514, ISO 1437 as well as JIS K 6218-3
This test method covers the determination of sieve residue after mechanical water flushing of for example regular untreated carbon blacks. It may not be applicable to oil-treated carbon blacks because the oil would prevent proper wetting of the black by water. The test set A 2000 is used worldwide mainly for carbons. Applications for inorganic pigments and fillers / extenders are also possible. Being a standard product, repeatability and reproducibility are better compared to self-built solutions.
