Significance and Use4.1

10、 It has been demonstrated that chlorides, when depositedand concentrated on the surface of austenitic stainless steel, cancontribute to external stress corrosion cracking (ESCC).5Analysis for fluoride has been covered because Test MethodsC 871 is the “source document” for other standards that requir

11、etesting for leachable fluoride ions.4.2 Testing6has shown that, using the methodology of TestMethod C 692, neither fluoride nor iodide nor bromide initiatesESCC in the manner that can be demonstrated with chloride.After being exposed to 1500 mg/kg fluoride for 60 days withno cracking, a change to 1

12、500 mg/kg chloride resulted incracking in 3 days, as required by the metal qualificationprocedure in Test Method C 692. Similar tests with iodide andbromide showed that these ions do not promote ESCC as doeschloride.1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C16 onThermal Insul

16、x C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.4.3 Chlorides (and fluorides) can be constituents of theinsulating material or of the environment, or both. Moisture inthe insulation or from the environment can cause chlorides(and fluorides) to migrate through the insulation and concen-trate

17、at the hot stainless steel surface.4.4 The presence of sodium and silicate ions in the insula-tion has been found to inhibit external stress corrosion crackingcaused by chloride (and fluoride) ions, whether such ions comefrom the insulation itself or from external sources. Further-more, if the ratio

18、 of sodium and silicate ions to chloride (andfluoride) ions is in a certain proportion in the insulation,external stress corrosion cracking as a result of the presence ofchloride (and fluoride) in the insulation will be prevented or atleast mitigated (see also Specification C 795).5. Reagents5.1 Pur

19、ity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society,where such specifications are available.7Use other grades onlyif

20、 is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficiently highpurity to permit its use without lessening the accuracy of thedetermination.5.2 Purity of Water Distilled or deionized water (DI),having maximum conductivity of 2.5 S/cm and containingless than 0.1 ppm of chloride ions shall be used in al

21、l tests.6. Sampling6.1 With low-chloride insulating materials, wear clean poly-ethylene gloves while taking and handling the sample to avoidchloride contamination from perspiration. Do not use glovesmade from chloride-containing compounds such as neopreneor saran, or materials with metallic chloride

22、s in their formula-tions. Prior to use, rinse gloves twice, drain, and air-dry in aclean, halide-free environment. Store clean gloves in a closedcontainer or envelope.6.2 It is suitable to handle materials with more than 25 ppmchloride with clean, dry hands with no significant contamina-tion.7. Test

23、 Specimen7.1 Apparatus and tools used for special preparation andleaching shall be clean and free of chlorides, fluorides, sili-cates, sodium, and acidic or alkaline materials that might affectthe chemical test. Distilled water must be used in all testsunless deionized water has been shown to be ade

24、quate.7.1.1 For molded insulation, use a band saw or equivalent,making several cuts through the entire cross section of eachpiece of insulation to be tested. Each specimen shall berepresentative of the entire cross section of the piece, exceptthat metal screen, or expanded metal used as a supportive

25、facing shall not be included. It is recommended that thin wafersof material be cut between116 and18 in. (1.6 and 3.2 mm)thick. Cut enough material for two 20-g samples.7.1.2 Blanket fibrous materials are cut into strips across theentire width of the blanket using clean, dry scissors.7.1.3 Samples co

26、ntaining moisture are placed in a suitablecontainer, protected from contamination, and oven dried at 2306 10F (1006 5C) ( or manufacturers recommended tem-perature) to a constant weight (60.1 g) or overnight.8. Extraction Technique8.1 Apparatus:8.1.1 Electronic Balance, capable of weighing to 2000 g

27、with readability to the nearest 0.1 g.8.1.2 Blender, with jar-top thread preferred.8.1.3 Beaker, 1-L stainless or borosilicate.8.1.4 Filter, Buchner with suitable filter paper.8.2 Using a closed-top blender, such as a 1-qt Mason jarwith blender blades, blend exactly 20.0 g of sample (or otherweight

28、if necessary) in approximately 400 mLof DI or distilledwater for 30 s. While most materials blend to a homogeneousmixture in 30 s, some very hard materials require 60 s or more.8.3 Quantitatively transfer the mixture to a tared 1-L stain-less steel or borosilicate beaker, rinsing with distilled or D

29、Iwater.8.4 Bring to boiling and maintain at the boiling point for 306 5 min.8.5 Remove from heat, and cool in a cold water bath toambient temperature.8.6 Remove water from the outside of the beaker and placeon a balance. Add DI (or distilled) water to bring amount ofwater up to exactly 500.0 mL(g) (

30、or other weight if necessary).8.7 Stir mixture until it is uniform and filter through filterpaper to get a clear filtrate. If not clear after the first filtration,refilter through a finer filter paper. The first small portion offiltrate is used to rinse the receiving flask and SolutionAbottle.Comple

31、te this filtration by putting this filtrate in the bottlelabeled Solution A. Since the relationship between solids andliquid has been established, it is not necessary to filter all of theextract. DO NOT WASH THE FILTER CAKE!8.8 Calculate the Gravimetric Conversion Factor (GCF) bydividing the weight

32、of the water by the weight of the sample.In the ideal case, this is 500/20 = 25. If weights are not exactlyas prescribed, a correct GCF must be calculated and used.8.9 With calsil it has been shown that it is not necessary topulverize the thin chips called for in 7.1.1. Equivalent resultsare obtaine

33、d, and a lengthy filtration step is avoided, byextracting the unpulverized chips.9. Test Procedures9.1 Chloride DeterminationOne of the following testmethods shall be used on a fresh aliquot from Solution A. Theprecision of the test equipment is often improved through theuse of analytical techniques

34、 involving known addition (orsample and standard spiking) when the ion concentrations arevery low. It is recommended for chloride ion concentrationsless than 20 ppm.7Reagent Chemicals, American Chemical Society Specifications , AmericanChemical Society, Washington, DC.

(USPC), Rockville,MD.C8710829.1.1 Amperometric-Coulometric Titration Te

36、st MethodUse an apparatus8in which direct current between a pair ofsilver electrodes causes electrochemical oxidation of the anodeand produces silver ions at a constant rate. When all of thechloride ions have combined with silver ions, the appearanceof free silver ions causes an abrupt increase in c

37、urrent betweena pair of indicator electrodes. Because silver ions are generatedat a constant rate, the amount used to precipitate the chlorideions is proportional to the elapsed time. Hence, the chloridecontent of the titration solution can be determined. Since thecoulometric titrator would not disc

38、riminate between chloride,bromide, and iodideall would test as chloridein somecases it is practical to differentiate between the halides to showchloride only, since the others have not been shown to causestress corrosion cracking in austenitic stainless steel. Achloride-sensitive electrode detects c

39、hloride only.9.1.2 Titrimetric Test Method9This method is no longerrecommended as requested by ASTM International due to useof specific hazardous substance.9.1.3 Specific Ion Electrode Test MethodThe chloride-sensitive electrode consists of silver halide/silver sulfide mem-branes bonded into the tip

40、 of an epoxy electrode body. Whenthe membrane is in contact with a chloride solution, silver ionsdissolve from the membrane surface and the electrode developsa potential due to the silver ion concentration. This concentra-tion is in turn determined by the sample chloride ion concen-tration. This pot

41、ential is measured against a constant referencepotential with a digital pH/mV meter or specific ion meter.Operation and use should follow manufacturers recommendedprocedures, especially noting any corrections for interferencesto determinations. The chloride-sensitive electrode is notreliable for chl

42、oride levels below 2 ppm in Solution A.9.1.4 Ion ChromatographyIt is suitable to use an ionchromatograph, following the manufacturers directions andappropriate techniques for the concentration of the ion in theextraction solution.9.2 Fluoride DeterminationOne of the following testmethods shall be us

43、ed on a fresh aliquot from Solution A:9.2.1 Specific Ion Electrode Test Method for FluorideThefluoride-sensitive electrode consists of a single-crystal lantha-num fluoride membrane, and an internal reference, bonded intoan epoxy body. The crystal is an ionic conductor in whichfluoride ions are mobil

44、e. When the membrane is in contact witha fluoride solution, an electrode potential develops across themembrane. This potential, which depends on the level of freefluoride ions in solution, is measured against an externalconstant reference potential with a digital pH/mV meter orspecific ion meter. Op

45、eration and use should follow manufac-turers recommended procedures, especially noting any correc-tions for interferences to determinations.9.2.2 SPADNS Colorimetric Test MethodThis colorimet-ric test method is based on the reaction between fluoride and azirconium-dye lake. The fluoride reacts with

46、the dye lake,dissociating a portion of it into a colorless complex anion (ZrF62) and the dye. As the amount of fluoride is increased, thecolor produced becomes progressively lighter or different inhue, depending on the reagent used.9.2.3 Ion Chromatography It is suitable to use and ionchromatograph,

47、 following the manufactures directions andappropriate techniques for the concentration of the ion in theextraction solution.9.3 Silicate DeterminationOne of the following test meth-ods shall be used on a fresh aliquot from Solution A. IfSolution A is cloudy, it shall be refiltered through a 0.45-mmi

48、llipore filter or centrifuged until clear before use.9.3.1 Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry Test MethodAtomize an aliquot from Solution A by means of a nitrousoxide-acetylene flame. The absorption by the silicon atoms ofradiation being emitted by a silicon hollow cathode lampsource provides a mea

49、sure of the amount of silicon present inthe solution, using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer.9.3.2 Colorimetric Test MethodThis test method coversthe determination of soluble silica (SiO2) by the molybdosili-cate colorimetric procedure. In this test method, ammoniummolybdate at low pH reacts with soluble silicate or phosphateto produce heteropoly acids. Oxalic acid is used to destroy themolybdophosphoric acid but not the molybdosilicic acid. Theintensity of the yellow molybdosilicate complex follows Beerslaw.
