Job Description:

• 1) Tests pulverized material and computes specific gravity, using manometer tube: Collects mill samples, weighs specified amount of pulverized material, and pours it into cylinder and taps powder into compact mass.

• 2) Raises mercury level in left side of manometer tube by pumping air into right side, using hand pump.

• 3) Inserts cylinder of pulverized material into top of left tube.

• 4) Releases air pressure from right side and times drop of mercury level in left side, using stopwatch.

• 5) Computes specific surface of material, using standard algebraic formula.

• 6) Reports below-standard reading to mill operator.

• 7) May test milled sample of aluminum alloy to identify metals in sample and be designated Quantometer Operator.
