Significance and Use3.1 The results of these test methods can be used as a qualitycontrol or quality assurance check of electrodes either duringtheir manufacture or at the

6、 users location. The results of thesemethods tend to be operator-sensitive, therefore, care must betaken in the execution of the test in order to obtain reproducibleresults.4.

Calibration6.1 Prior to obtaining the suspended weights of the speci-mens, the balance shall be adjusted to zero with the wire stirrupsuspended from the balance and immersed into a container ofthe liquid to the same depth in the liqu

Cool and determine the dryweight, D, in grams to the nearest 0.1 g. If the time betweendrying and weighing exceeds 8 h, the

12、specimens must be storedin a desiccator.7.1.2 The determination of dry weight may be done eitherbefore or after the saturation operation. If the specimen isfriable or there is evidence that particles have broken looseduring the saturation operation, the dry weight shall beobtained after the suspende

13、d and saturated weights have beendetermined. Drying as described in 7.1.1 must be carried out.7.2 Saturation:1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Products and Lubricants and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeD02.F0 on Manufactured Carbon and Grap

16、container inside the vessel. Closeand seal the vessel and pump down at least to 133 Pa (1 mmHg) and maintain this pressure for 30 min.7.2.2 Slowly introduce water (preferably distilled water)until the specimens are covered with at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) ofwater. Continue to pump for an additional 5 m

17、in.NOTE 1Sufficient water must be provided above the specimens tosupply enough water to fill the open pores of the specimens duringpressurization. If after pressurization, one or more specimens are exposedto air above the water, these specimens must be dried and process repeated(7.1.1).7.2.3 After t

18、he evacuation process is completed, close thevacuum line and introduce air pressure. Pressurize to 207 6 7kPa (30 6 1 psi) gage pressure and hold for 4 h. Following thisperiod of time return the vessel to atmospheric pressure.7.3 Determination of Suspended Weight, S:7.3.1 Within1hofthetime the vesse

19、l returns to atmo-spheric pressure, the suspended weights and saturated weightsmust be obtained.7.3.2 Place the container used in the vacuum-pressurevessel near the immersion container to facilitate rapid transferto the weighing stirrup (see 4.5).7.3.3 Obtain the suspended weight, S, to the nearest

20、0.1 g, ofeach specimen. The specimens can be transferred through airbut the transfer must be made quickly. Following the weighing,each specimen should be returned to a separate container ofwater or the saturated weight, W, should be obtained immedi-ately according to 7.4.7.4 Determination of Saturat

21、ed Weight, W:7.4.1 After determining the suspended weight, blot eachspecimen lightly with a moistened smooth linen or cotton clothto remove all drops of water from the surface and weigh in air,to the nearest 0.1 g, to obtain the saturated weight, W. The clothmust be prepared by previously saturating

22、 it with water andthen pressing only enough to remove the water which woulddrip from the cloth. Avoid excessive blotting or rubbing whichwill remove water from the pores of the specimen.8.

The three materials were chosen fr
