Sintered metal materials, excluding hardmetals - Permeable sintered metal materials - Determination of density, oil content and open porosity

La présente Norme internationale spécifie des méthodes pour la détermination de la masse volumique, de la teneur en huile et de la porosité ouverte de matériaux métalliques frittés perméables.Elle est particulièrement applicable aux coussinets en métal poreux et aux pièces détachées produites par compactage et frittage de poudres métalliques.

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
