5、 Density of Ceramics forElectron Device and Semiconductor Application33. Summary of Method3.1 The specimen of unknown density is compared with areference standard of known density. The specimen to bemeasured is placed in a test tube containing a solution whosedensity at 35C is within 0.0200 g/cm3of

6、the density of thespecimen at 25C. The solution is prepared using miscibleliquids of known densities bracketing the desired range. Thetube also contains a glass density reference standard whosedensity at 35C is close to that of the solution at 35C; the tubeis immersed in a variable-temperature compa

7、rator bath. Ini-tially the solutions, specimen, and standard are at a temperaturenear 25C, and both the standard and the specimen float in thesolution. The temperature of the system is raised at a uniformrate. Because the volumetric expansion coefficient of thesolution is much higher than those of t

8、he glass pieces, itsdensity decreases more rapidly and eventually both the stan-dard and the specimen will sink (settle) in the solution. Thetemperatures at which the specimen and standard reach themid-point of the test tube are noted and by use of special tables,the density of the specimen is obtai

9、ned.3.2 Range of a Given Density SolutionA given densitysolution can be used to measure specimens whose density iswithin 6 0.0200 g/cm3of the density of the solution at 35C,by operating the comparator bath in the range 25 to 45C.4. Significance and Use4.1 The sink-float comparator method of test for

10、 glassdensity provides the most accurate (yet convenient for practicalapplications) method of evaluating the density of small piecesor specimens of glass. The data obtained are useful for dailyquality control of production, acceptance or rejection underspecifications, and for special purposes in res

11、earch and devel-opment.4.2 Although this test scope is limited to a density rangefrom 1.1 to 3.3 g/cm3, it may be extended (in principle) tohigher densities by the use of other miscible liquids (TestMethod F77) such as water and thallium malonate-formate(approximately 5.0 g/cm3). The stability of th

Apparatus5.1 Single Tube and Multiple-Tube Comparators (MethodE77)A single-tube comparator can be constructed frommaterials readily available in a typical laboratory, and useful ifone wishes to measure the

13、density of materials within a fairlynarrow range, or if only a few tests need to be run each day.The multiple-tube comparator can be purchased commercially.It is useful if materials with a wide range of density must betested or if many specimens must be tested each day.

39、rd expansion of speci-men.7.3.3 It is convenient to fix 35C as the settling temperatureof the standard, as it will vary slightly with heating rate,operator, and liquid density. The specimen settling temperaturemust be corrected as follows:Tc5 T 1 35 2 Ts! (7)where:Tc= corrected specimen settling tem

43、rocedure for Determining Density of Test Specimens8.1 Prepare the specimen for testing by cutting from thesample a piece comparable in size with the standard. The testspecimen should be smooth and free of bubbles and cracks.Identify the specimen using a diamond-point marking pencil orby cutting it t

44、o a distinctive shape. Clean the specimen inreagent grade alcohol or acetone and wipe dry with silicone-free lens tissue. Place specimen in the solution (Note 3) thatcontains the standard. The bath and solution temperaturesshould be approximately 256 3C, and both specimen andstandard should float.NO

45、TE 3Adsorbed moisture on the specimen surface will lower themeasured density. Moisture, from condensation, on the solution surfaceshould be removed by periodically filtering the solution through coarsefilter paper.8.2 Place all the tubes, thermometers, stoppers, etc., in theirproper location in the

46、bath, and rapidly heat the bath (1 to2C/min), noting the temperature of the density solution atwhich the test specimen (or the standard) begins to settle.8.3 Adjust the bath temperature by cooling to 2 to 4Cbelow the expected settling temperature of the specimen (orstandard). Allow the bath and solu

47、tions to come to equilibriumfor 10 min, then heat the bath at a rate of 0.1 6 0.02C/min.Heating rates can be controlled by adjusting the power to thehotplate or immersion heater and the cooling water flow rate.Cooling water is used as a fine adjustment of heating rate.8.4 As either the specimen or s

48、tandard begin to settle in thesolutions, note the temperature at which either is halfwaybetween upper and lower cage disks. The bath and densitysolution temperatures must agree within 0.4C when thetemperature is recorded, with the bath temperature beinghigher. Record T and Ts.8.5 Calculate the corre

49、cted specimen settling temperature,Tc, by Eq 7. From an appropriate density table prepared fromEq 4 and Eq 8, read the density that corresponds to thecorrected specimen settling temperature, Tc. This density is thedensity of the specimen at 25C, r25.8.6 Up to three test specimens can be run in a single tubesimultaneously.C729 1149.
