Designation:D820022Standard Practice forCreating a Correlation to Compare Particle Size DistributionResults of Proppants by Dynamic Imaging Analyzers andSieves1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D8200;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice describes procedural steps to create acorrelation that can be used to compare results of proppant sizedistributions between dynamic imaging analyzers(analyzers)and prescribed sieve sets.1.2 The proppant size and distribution specifications that areincluded in this practice are listed in API Standard 19C(API19C)and shown in Table 1,however as industry evolvesadditional specifications may come into use and this practicecan be used with those as well.1.3 This practice may not be applicable to all proppant typesand designations.The acceptability of the correlations deter-mined are judged by the operator.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard,except sieve designations are typically identifiedusing the alternativesystem in accordance with Practice E11,such as 3 in.and No.200 instead of the standard system of75 mm and 75 m,respectively.1.5 Observed and calculated values shall conform to theguidelines for significant digits and rounding established inPractice D6026,unless superseded by this standard.1.5.1 The procedures used to specify how data are collected/recorded and calculated in Practice D6026 are regarded as theindustry standard.In addition,they are representative of thesignificant digits that generally should be retained.The proce-dures used do not consider material variation,purpose forobtaining the data,special purpose studies,or any consider-ations for the users objectives;and it is common practice toincrease or reduce significant digits of reported data to becommensurate with these considerations.It is beyond the scopeof these test methods to consider significant digits used inanalysis methods for engineering data.1.6 This practice offers a set of instructions for performingone or more specific operations.This document cannot replaceeducation or experience and should be used in conjunctionwith professional judgment.Not all aspects of this practice maybe applicable in all circumstances.This ASTM standard is notintended to represent or replace the standard of care by whichthe adequacy of a given professional service must be judged,nor should this document be applied without consideration ofa projects many unique aspects.The word“Standard”in thetitle means only that the document has been approved throughthe ASTM consensus process.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.8 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D75 Practice for Sampling AggregatesD653 Terminology Relating to Soil,Rock,and ContainedFluidsD3740 Practice for Minimum Requirements for AgenciesEngaged in Testing and/or Inspection of Soil and Rock asUsed in Engineering Design and ConstructionD4753 Guide for Evaluating,Selecting,and Specifying Bal-ances and Standard Masses for Use in Soil,Rock,andConstruction Materials TestingD6026 Practice for Using Significant Digits and Data Re-cords in Geotechnical DataD6913 Test Methods for Particle-Size Distribution(Grada-tion)of Soils Using Sieve Analysis1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D18 on Soil andRock and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D18.26 on HydraulicFracturing.Current edition approved Nov.1,2022.Published November 2022.DOI:10.1520/D8200-222For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1E11 Specification for Woven Wire Test Sieve Cloth and Test
