The differences in the following test methods are slight, but they offer a choice of a recognized test procedure.

1.1 These test methods are used to determine bulk density of granular carriers and granular pesticides by measuring either free-fall bulk density (Test Method A) or loose-fill bulk density (Test Method B).

1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.
