This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

5. Significance and Use
5.1 The meaning of the test is related to the manufacturing and end use of the material, to determine characteristics of products.
5.2 The volume of swell reflects the amount of hydrophilic mucilloid present in psyllium.
5.3 A manufacturer of raw psyllium will base the grade of psyllium produced on multiple properties of which swell volume is
one.
5.4 The higher the grade of psyllium the higher the swell volume, thus a greater percent of mucilloid present. For the erosion
control industry, the higher the swell volume of the psyllium the greater it’s bonding strength and relative performance.
