Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 densitythe weight in vacuo, (that is, the mass) of aunit volume of the material at any given temperature.3.1.2 relative density (specific gravity)the ratio of themass (weight in vacuo) of a given volume of material at

When the referencetemperature is 4.00C, the temperature at which the relativedensity of water is unity, relative density (spec

8、ific gravity) anddensity are numerically equal.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The liquid sample is introduced into a pycnometer,equilibrated to the desired temperature, and weighed. Therelative density (specific gravity) or density is then calculatedfrom this weight and the previously determined weigh

Significance and Use5.1 Density is a fundamental physical property which can beused in conjunction with other properties to characterize purehydrocarbons and their mixture

10、s.5.2 This test method was originally developed for thedetermination of the density of the ASTM Knock Test Refer-ence Fuels n-heptane and isooctane, with an accuracy of0.00003 g/mL. Although it is no longer employed extensivelyfor this purpose, this test method is useful whenever accuratedensities o

Whichevermeans are available, it must be realized that for most hydro-carbons the density coefficient is about 0.0008 units/C, andtherefore an error of 60.013C would cause an error of60.00001 in density.6.4 Hyp

Preparation of Apparatus8.1 Thoroughly clean the pycnometer with hot chromic acidcleaning solution by means of the assembly shown in Fig. 4.Chromic acid solution (WarningSee 7.3) is the most effec-tiv

24、e cleaning agent. However, surfactant cleaning fluids havealso been used successfully. Mount the apparatus firmly andconnect the trap to the vacuum. Warm the necessary amount ofcleaning acid in the beaker, place the pycnometer on theground joint, and evacuate by opening the stopcock to vacuum.Fill t

25、he pycnometer with acid by turning the stopcock, repeatseveral times or remove the filled pycnometer, and allow it tostand for several hours at 50 to 60C. Remove the acid from thepycnometer by evacuation, empty the acid from the trap, andflush the pycnometer with water. Cleaning should be made inthi

26、s manner whenever the pycnometer is to be calibrated orwhenever liquid fails to drain cleanly from the walls of thepycnometer or its capillary. Ordinarily, the pycnometer may becleaned between determinations by washing with a suitablesolvent, rinsing with pure, dry acetone, followed by isopentane,an

27、d vacuum drying.8.2 Transfer the pycnometer to the cleaner assembly shownin Fig. 3, with vacuum line and trap attached to the side tubeas indicated. Place the pycnometer on the cleaner with theupper hypodermic needle extending upward into the pycnom-eter, and press the edge of the ground joint on th

28、e rubberstopper until the vacuum holds it in place. Draw out all theliquid or sample. Immerse the lower end of the hypodermictube in a suitable solvent and draw 20 to 25 mL through thepycnometer. Leaving the pycnometer in place, draw air throughit until it is dry. Clean the hypodermic syringe with t

29、he sameapparatus.9. Calibration of Pycnometer9.1 Proceeding as directed in Section 10, determine theweight of freshly-boiled and cooled distilled water (distilledfrom alkaline permanganate through a tin condenser) held bythe pycnometer when equilibrated to volume at the bathtemperature to be used in

30、 the determination. Repeat until atleast three values agree to 60.2 mg.FIG. 1 Bingham-Type Pycnometer, 25 mLD 1217 93 (2003)e1210. Procedure10.1 Using another 25-mL pycnometer as a tare (Note 1),weigh the clean, dry pycnometer to 0.1 mg and record theweight.NOTE 1It is convenient to use the lightest

31、 of a set of pycnometers asa tare. For best results the treatment and environment of both pycnometerand tare should be identical for some time prior to weighing.10.2 Cool the sample to 5 to 10C below the test tempera-ture, and fill the clean 30-mL hypodermic syringe. Transfer thesample to the pycnom

32、eter through the filling needle; avoidtrapping air bubbles (WarningExtremely flammable. Avoidbuildup of vapors and remove all sources of ignition, especiallynon-explosion proof electrical apparatus) in the bulb or capil-lary of the pycnometer. If any are present, draw them into theFIG. 2 Accessories

Also remove with the syringe ordraw-off needle any liquid above the calibration mark in thecapillary or overflow reservoir. Dry the remainder with a cottonfiber pipe cleaner or c

34、otton swab which has been dampenedslightly with acetone.NOTE 2For work of highest accuracy on pure compounds, dissolvedair may be removed from the sample by repeated freezing and remeltingof the sample under vacuum in the pycnometer.10.3 Close the pycnometer with the glass stopper andimmerse it to a

35、 point above the calibration mark in theconstant-temperature bath adjusted to a constancy of 60.01Cat the desired temperature. Periodically, or before the liquidexpands into the overflow chamber, remove the stopper, raisethe pycnometer sufficiently to expose the calibration mark toview, and readjust

36、 the liquid level to the mark by withdrawingliquid through the steel draw-off needle until expansion hasstopped, indicating that the liquid has reached the temperatureof the thermostat. Do not allow the liquid to expand more than10 mm above the calibration mark at any time, to minimizeerrors caused

37、by faulty drainage. Allow the contents to equili-brate an additional 10 min and draw the level down exactly tothe calibration line, avoiding parallax and using a magnifier, ifnecessary, to obtain good visibility. Remove any liquid adher-ing to the walls above the calibration mark, with the draw-offn

38、eedle or pipe cleaner, depending upon the volatility of thesample. Portions in the overflow bulb may be removed with acotton swab moistened with acetone.10.4 Replace the glass stopper, remove the pycnometerfrom the bath, wash the outside surface with acetone, and drythoroughly with a chemically clea

39、n, lint-free, slightly dampcloth. Place the pycnometer in or near the balance case for 20min and weigh to the nearest 0.1 mg. In atmospheres of lowhumidity (60 % or lower), drying the pycnometer by rubbingwith a dry cotton cloth will induce static charges equivalent toa loss of about 1 mg in the wei

40、ght of the pycnometer. Thischarge need not be completely dissipated in less than 30 min.The use of about 0.1-mg radium bromide- or polonium-coatedfoil in the balance case, or maintaining the relative humidity at60 % or higher, aids in reducing weighing difficulties due tostatic charges.10.5 Record t

Calculation11.1 Calculate the true density of the sample as follows:Density, g/mL at C 5 Ws1 1 da/ds! 2 da/dwt!dw/Ww1 1 da/dw!2 da/dwt!

If significant changesho

44、uld occur, the calculated apparent weight of the sample, Ws,in this equation, must be corrected for the difference in airbuoyancy exerted on the pycnometer as follows:Ws5 W2PS2 W8p1 1 d8a/2.2!2 d8a/dwt!/1 1 da2/2.2! 2 da2/dwt!

46、eaning SolutionD 1217 93 (2003)e14Likewise, if the pycnometer, empty and filled with water forcalibration, is weighed under different air densities a similarcorrection for different air buoyancies shall be applied.11.3 Calculate the relative density (specific gravity) of thesample by dividing the de

47、nsity as obtained in 11.1 by therelative density of water at the reference temperature obtainedfrom Table 1.11.4 Calculate the density of air in the balance room asfollows:Air density da!, g/mL5 B 0.3783 Hp!0.000465!#/273 1 t!(4)where:B = barometric pressure, mm Hg, corrected to 0C,H = relative humi

Weigh a sealed 250-mL glass bulb

49、at severaldifferent air densities and plot the weight against the air density. Todetermine the air density at some later time, weigh the bulb and read theair density from the point on the curve corresponding to the weight.11.5 To calculate the density or relative density (specificgravity) at any test temperature, t, other than the calibrationtemperature, tc(to correct for the cubical coefficient of thermalexpansion of borosilicate glass), divide the value obtained in10.1 or 10.2 by the following expression:1 1 9.6 3 1026t 2 t
