1、Designation: C561 91 (Reapproved 2010)1An American National StandardStandard Test Method forAsh in a Graphite Sample1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C561; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year

2、 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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1NOTEUpdated units of measure throughout the

3、standard editorially in May 2010.1. Scope1.1 This test method provides a practical determination forthe ash content in a graphite sample.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to a

4、ddress all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

5、ethod for Moisture in a Graphite Sample3. Significance and Use3.1 This test method provides a practical estimate of non-burnable residues in commercially available graphite materials.The ash values determined by this test method are of use incomparing the relative purity of various grades of graphit

6、e. Tofacilitate use, this test method institutes simplifications thatpreclude the ability to determine absolutely the ash values ofthe test graphite material due to uncontrolled sources of tracecontamination.3.2 This test method is not intended for use in determiningthe ash content of purified graph

7、ites, for example, nuclearmaterials. The relationship between the mineral content of agraphite sample and the ash content of that sample is unknownand is not determined by the application of this test method.4. Interferences4.1 Although permitted within the scope of this test method,the use of alumi

8、na ceramic crucibles may affect results due todifficulties in obtaining repeatable or proper weights, or both,because of (1) the hygroscopic nature of some ceramiccrucibles, and (2) the possible chemical combination of traceelements with the ceramic crucible.4.2 Any ash or trace elements introduced

9、to the sample willinfluence results. Contamination can occur during drilling toobtain the sample and during pulverization. (See 6.1.)5. Apparatus5.1 Alumina Ceramic or Platinum Crucible or Dish, suit-able for holding sample (subsequently called sample holder).5.2 Analytical Balance, capable of weigh

10、ing to 60.0002 g.5.3 Muffle Furnace, capable of reaching 950C with con-troller capable of maintaining a temperature of 950 6 20C.5.4 Platinum or Stainless Steel Wire.5.5 Desiccator, charged with indicating desiccant.5.6 Drying Oven, air convection type, capable of beingcontrolled to 110 6 2C.6. Samp

11、ling6.1 Samples may be solid or particulate. Solid bodies maybe sampled by removing one or more solid pieces from thebody by, for example, sawing, turning, milling, or fracturing.Particulate samples may be generated from solid bodies bydrilling, using a carbide drill to minimize contamination, or by

12、other crushing and grinding methods.7. Procedure7.1 Dry the sample in accordance with Test Method C562,or for a minimum of 16 h in a drying oven at 110 6 2C, andallow the sample to cool to room temperature in the desiccator.7.2 Tare a dried sample holder using an analytical balance to60.002 g. As so

13、on as the sample has cooled to roomtemperature, remove it from the desiccator and weigh a 25- to50-g sample into the tared sample holder. Reweigh the sampleand sample holder to 60.002 g.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Products and Lubricants and is the d

16、ted States.7.3 Introduce a slow stream of air into the muffle furnace(Note 1). Place the sample holder containing the sample intothe furnace, then heat the furnace so that the sample reaches500C in 1 h and 750C in 2 h.NOTE 1The stream of air into the furnace should be carefully adjustedso that the s

17、ample or ash will not be blown from the dish. The air streammay be admitted by leaving the door of the furnace open a slight amount.Exercise care when placing a sample into a warm furnace so that nosample material will be lost due to drafts.7.4 To aid in oxidation, stir the sample periodically with

18、thewire. The absence of black flecks indicates that ashing iscomplete; at that time raise the furnace temperature to 950Cfor1h.7.5 Remove the dish containing the ash from the furnace,(see Note 1) and cool to room temperature in the desiccator.Following removal from the desiccator, weigh the dish wit

19、h theash as rapidly as possible.7.6 Replace the sample in the furnace at 950C for 30 minand repeat the procedure prescribed in 7.5 until a constantweight is obtained to 60.002 g.8. Calculation8.1 Calculate the percentage of ash as follows:Ash, % 5 C 2 A!/B 2 A!# 3 100 (1)where:A = weight of the samp

20、le holder,B = weight of the sample holder and dried sample,C = weight of the sample holder and ash.9. Report9.1 The report shall include the following:9.1.1 Proper identification of the sample, and9.1.2 Results obtained from at least two ash determinationsand their averages.10. Precision and Bias310

21、.1 The precision of this test method was determinedduring a round-robin test among four laboratories testingsamples split from a common sample which was ground to passa No. 60 (250-m) sieve. This sampling method was used forthe round-robin to minimize variations among samples pro-vided to participat

22、ing laboratories.10.2 On this sample the mean, standard deviation betweenlaboratories and standard deviation within laboratories were,respectively:Mean 0.7286%Between laboratories 0.0159%Within laboratories 0.0127%10.3 No bias was noted during this round-robin test; how-ever, the method is empirical

23、 and there is no suitable referencematerial that can be used to determine the bias of this testmethod.11.
