GB/T 28957.1-2023 Road vehicles - Test dust for filter evaluation - Part 1: Silicon dioxide test dust
1 Scope
This document defines particle size distribution and chemical content limits involving two kinds of test dusts, namely, four grades of test dust made from Arizona desert sand, and BF silicon dioxide series test dust.
This document is applicable to the performance evaluation for filter of road vehicles, it is also applicable to the performance evaluation for filter of general-purpose internal combustion engines, as well as wear studies involving bearings, seals, etc.
This document is not applicable to the calibration of particle counters. For this purpose, please refer to GB/T 18854.

4 Test dust description
4.1 Arizona test dust
4.1.1 General
Arizona test dust is manufactured from Arizona desert sand. Arizona desert sand is a naturally occurring dust consisting primarily of silicon dioxide with smaller amounts of other compounds. It is collected from the Salt River area of Arizona desert and sized to specific particle size. Arizona desert sand has also been referred to as Arizona road dust, Arizona test dust, Arizona silica, AC fine or coarse test dust, and SAE fine or coarse test dust.
4.1.2 Classification, coding and loose bulk density
Arizona test dusts are divided into four categories according to the particle size: The true density of Arizona desert sand is approximately 2,650kg/m3. Bulk density of Arizona test dust varies with particle size (see Table 1 for specific data).
