10、 guidelines are to be used to establish the averagephysicochemical and physical rubber properties of a lot ofcarbon black to be used as an IRB.4. Production, Quality Control, and Quality Assurance4.1 It is assumed that the manufacturer of the IRB will usestate-of-the-art techniques to ensure maximum

The lot should have an expected life of 8 to 10years at the most recent rate of use.4.3 The black should be bagged in 50-lb polyethylene bagsto reduce moisture incursion. Each pallet of bagged blackshould be wrappe

Sampling5.1 To avoid having to break down stacked and wrappedbags on a pallet, the bags to be used as samples for uniformityand property determination testing are typically removed atappropriate times from the bagging stream.At least one samp

18、leper sublot will be collected for uniformity testing. If more thanone sample point is identified for each sublot, they should bespaced to represent approximately equal quantities. Typically,two bags are taken at each sampling point. One is retained bythe producer for in-house uniformity testing and

19、 one is used forsamples to be distributed to participants in the rubber testingand uniformity ITP. The bags selected will be numbered fromone through n, where n is the total number of sublots, in orderto represent the corresponding production lot or labeled toidentify the sublot and its position rel

Procedure6.1 It is preferred that all of the samples be tested on thesame day for any of the test methods described in 6.2 and 6.3.If the testing cannot be completed in the same day, it should be

22、completed in consecutive days.6.2 Rubber Physical Tests:6.2.1 Perform the following physical tests in rubber on boththe new and previous IRB. Test samples mixed in accordancewith Test Methods D3191, Test Method A, Test Method B, orTest Method C and cure for 50 min at 145C as well as samplesmixed in

23、accordance with Test Methods D3192, Test MethodA, Test Method B, or Test Method C and cure for 30 min at145C.

Shelf Life9.1 The shelf life of the Industry Reference Black (IRB)carbon blacks is indefinite when properly stored in a mannerthat protects it from exposure to sources of moisture, such asprecipitation, other sources of liquid water,

39、or high humidityenvironments. Iodine number is the only property known tochange over an extended period (years). This is due to a slowincrease in the oxygen content and is primarily observed withtread blacks and other high surface area carbon blacks. Stepsare being taken within ASTM Committee D24 to

40、 developstandards that are more stable over a long period.10.

41、ry Information)A1. LISTING OF THE PROPERTIES OF INDUSTRY REFERENCE BLACKSA1.1 The listing of properties for Industry Reference Blacks(IRBs) is given in Table A1.1. The absolute values for I2number, OAN, COAN, and tint strength are listed. Values fortensile stress at 300 % elongation or “modulus” and

42、 tensilestrength are given in relation to the previous IRB as a“difference.” Since the purpose of an IRB is the elimination ofthe major part of laboratory-to-laboratory variation, it is usedas a reference material within each laboratory to correct actualmeasured property values in that laboratory.A1

43、.1.1 The rubber properties of carbon black are typicallyreported as the difference between the values obtained for thetest and those obtained for the current IRB.NOTE A1.1IRB No. 83is an N330 type carbon black prepared at onelocation, then evaluated by ASTM Committee D24 to ensure uniformity.A large

44、 volume (115 910 kg (255 000 lb) of this carbon black wasprepared since it is used daily as a standard reference material by carbonblack producers. The carbon black has an iodine number of 81.8 g/kg andOAN of 103.0 105m3/kg.NOTE A1.2IRB No. 93is an N330 type carbon black prepared at onelocation, the

45、n evaluated by ASTM Committee D24 to ensure uniformity.A large volume (181 818 kg (400 000 lb) of this carbon black wasprepared since it is used daily as a standard reference material by carbonblack producers. The carbon black has an iodine number of 82.1 g/kg andOAN value of 98.9 105m3/kg.NOTE A1.3

46、Prior to the introduction of IRB8, all rubber testing wasdone following Method A of Test Methods D3191 and Test MethodsD3192. No laboratory in the ITP to validate IRB8 provided data forMethod A for either Test Methods D3191 or Test Methods D3192.Therefore, data from Methods B and C were included in

47、the table. In theITP to validate IRB9, data was provided for all three methods of TestMethods D3191 and Test Methods D3192. The difference from IRB8 toIRB9 data for all three methods has been included in Table A1.1.NOTE A1.4All the reported “difference from IRB8 to IRB9” valuesfor all three test met

48、hods of Test Methods D3191 and Test Methods D3192are less than the within laboratory test error reported in the applicableprecision statement sections of those two Test Methods. This means thatin a given laboratory using these test methods for testing both IRB8 andIRB9, they would not be able to dis

49、tinguish which sample was whichmaterial based on their test results. Therefore, it can be concluded that,within testing error, IRB9 is a virtual drop-in replacement for IRB8,negating the need to revise industry specifications.A1.2 The user of this table is cautioned against attemptingto add the differences listed
