Summary of Test Meth

8、od34.1 The liquid is drawn into the bicapillary pycnometerthrough the removable siphon arm and adjusted to volume atthe temperature of test, in such a manner that there ispractically no drainage in the unfilled tubing. After equilibra-tion at the test temperature, liquid levels are read, and thepycn

9、ometer is removed from the thermostated bath, cooled toroom temperature, and weighed.4.2 Density or relative density (specific gravity), as desired,is then calculated from the volume at the test temperature andthe weight of the sample. The effect of air buoyancy is includedin the calculations.5. Sig

17、States.6.2 RackA rack to use in filling the pycnometer (see Fig.2).6.3 Constant-Temperature OvenAn oven for use in fillingthe pycnometer. Any oven capable of holding the filling rack,and of maintaining a temperature of approximately 100C, canbe used.6.4 Constant-Temperature BathA mixture of water an

18、dglycerin, or oil bath having a depth of at least 305 mm (12 in.)and provided with heating, stirring, and thermostating devicesadequate to maintain desired temperatures in the range from 20to 100C with an accuracy of 60.01C.6.5 Bath ThermometersThermometers graduated in 0.1Csubdivisions and standard

19、ized for the range of use to thenearest 0.01C (ASTM Saybolt Viscosity Thermometers 17Cto 22C are recommended). For most hydrocarbons, the densitycoefficient is about 0.0008 units/C, and therefore a tempera-ture error of 60.013C would cause an error of 60.000 01 indensity.6.6 Pycnometer HolderA holde

20、r, as shown in Fig. 3,isrecommended for supporting the pycnometer in the bath. Asingle clamp device may be used.6.7 BalanceAbalance able to reproduce weighings within0.1 mg when carrying a load of 35 g or less on each pan. Thebalance shall be located in a room shielded from drafts andfumes and in wh

21、ich the temperature changes between relatedweighings (empty and filled pycnometer) do not cause asignificant change in the ratio of the balance arms. Otherwise,weighings shall be made by the substitution method in whichthe calibrated weights and pycnometer are alternativelyweighed on the same balanc

22、e pan. The same balance shall beused for all related weighings.6.8 WeightsWeights shall be used whose relative valuesare known to the nearest 0.05 mg or better. The same set ofweights shall be used for the calibration of the pycnometer andthe determination of the densities, or the sets of weights sh

23、allbe calibrated relative to each other.7. Reagents and Materials7.1 Acetone(WarningExtremely flammable. Use ad-equate ventilation.)7.2 Isopentane(WarningExtremely flammable. Avoidbuildup of vapors and remove all sources of ignition, especiallynonexplosion-proof electrical apparatus.)7.3 Chromic Aci

25、pression,liver and kidney damage, or exhibit reproductive and fetaleffects, or both.)8. Preparation of Apparatus8.1 Thoroughly clean the pycnometer and side arm with hotchromic acid cleaning solution (WarningSee 7.4). Chromicacid solution is the most effective cleaning agent. However,surfactant clea

26、ning fluids have also been used successfully.Rinse well with distilled water; and dry at 105 to 110C for atleast 1 h, preferably with a slow current of filtered air passingthrough the pycnometer. Cleaning shall be done in this mannerwhenever the pycnometer is to be calibrated or whenever liquidfails

27、 to drain cleanly from the walls of the pycnometer or itscapillary. Ordinarily, the pycnometer may be cleaned betweendeterminations by washing with a suitable solvent, such asisopentane or xylenes, and vacuum drying. If acetone is used asthe wash liquid, the pycnometer should then be rinsed withisop

28、entane or xylenes.FIG. 1 PycnometerFIG. 2 Rack for Filling PycnometerD 1481 02 (2007)29. Calibration of Pycnometer9.1 Weigh the clean, dry pycnometer (without the side arm)to the nearest 0.1 mg, and record the weight.9.2 Fill the pycnometer with freshly boiled distilled water.This may be convenientl

29、y done by placing the pycnometer inthe holder with the side arm dipping into a sample cupcontaining water. Allow the pycnometer to fill by siphoning.Break the siphon by removing the side arm when the liquidlevel in the bulb arm of the pycnometer reaches 6 on the scale.9.3 Remove the side arm which w

When the l

31、iquidlevel has reached equilibrium (not less than 15 min), read thescale to the nearest 0.2 small division at the liquid level in eacharm. After 5 min, read the liquid level again. If the sum of thescale readings in each reading differs by more than 60.04,repeat readings at 5-min intervals. When rea

32、dings are constant,record.9.5 Remove the pycnometer from the bath and allow it tocome to room temperature. Rinse the outer surface withdistilled water, with acetone, then with redistilled xylenes, anddry thoroughly with a chemically clean lint-free cloth, slightlydamp with water.Allow to stand a few

33、 minutes, and then weighto nearest 0.1 mg.NOTE 2In atmospheres of low humidity (60 % or lower), drying thepycnometer by rubbing with dry cotton cloth will induce static chargesequivalent to a loss of about 1 mg or more in the weight of thepycnometer. This charge may not be completely dissipated in l

34、ess than12h and can be detected by touching the pycnometer to the wire hook on thebalance and then drawing it away slowly. If the pycnometer exhibits anattraction for the wire hook, it may be considered to have a static charge.9.6 Repeat the above, but break the siphon when water hasreached the 3 ma

35、rk in the bulb arm, and in the next experiment,at the 0 mark in the bulb arm. Obtain the apparent volume foreach filling by dividing the weight of water held by thepycnometer in each experiment by the density of water at thecalibration temperature t. Calibration shall be made at 20, 40,and 50C. Prep

36、are a calibration curve for 20C by plotting thesum of the two scale readings versus the apparent volume at20C. If the curve is not a straight line, and future checks donot correct it, discard the pycnometer. The line shall not bemore than 0.0002 mL/unit from any one determined point.9.7 Correspondin

37、g calibration curves shall be made for 40and 50C. These calibration curves are checked using thefollowing equation:V25 V11 1 ct! (1)where:V2= apparent volume at test temperature,V1= apparent volume at 20C, andc = cubical coefficient of expansion of borosilicate glass(9.9 3 106/C).The calculated and

38、determined curves at 40 and 50C shouldcheck to within 60.0002 mL/unit at all points. The calibrationcurves for higher temperatures shall be obtained by calculation.10. Procedure10.1 Weigh the clean, dry pycnometer, without the side arm,to 0.1 mg and record the weight.10.2 Place a 10-mL sample beaker

39、 in the wooden rack (Fig.2). Before attaching the side arm to the pycnometer, drain afew drops of sample through the side arm to wet the insidesurface and reduce the chance of trapping air bubbles in thecapillary during the filling operation. Place the side arm on thepycnometer, and place the assemb

40、ly on the rack with the sidearm dipping into the sample beaker as shown in Fig. 4.10.3 In filling the pycnometer with very viscous oils orhigh-melting waxes, place the whole filling assembly in ahot-air oven to facilitate filling. An oven at approximately100C is usually hot enough for this purpose.1

41、0.4 Apply gentle suction to the bulb arm of the pycnometerto start the siphoning action. The suction must be gentle toavoid the formation of bubbles. After siphoning is started,allow filling by siphoning to continue until the liquid level inMetric Equivalentsin. mm in. mm in. mm12 3.212 12.7 158 41.

Then remove the pycnometer fromthe rack and place in the thermostated bath, in the same tiltedposition, until the oil ceases to contract.At this point, place thepycnome

43、ter in an upright position, and allow the liquid level inthe bulb arm to reach the upper portion of the calibratedcapillary, but not above 6.4. Stop siphoning by removing theside arm.NOTE 3With viscous oils, it will reduce drainage errors to fill to the6.0 to 6.4 mark, and it may be necessary to app

44、ly a little suction to the longarm during cooling to prevent the meniscus in the bulb arm from falling.Maintain the meniscus at about the same level in the long arm throughoutthe whole determination.10.5 After removing the side-arm cap from the short arm ofthe pycnometer, wipe the tip and ground joi

45、nt of the pycnom-eter, and adjust it to an upright position in the thermostatedbath. The bath liquid level shall be above the 6 mark on thepycnometer and below the ground glass tip of the pycnometer.10.6 Allow 15 min for equilibrium to be obtained. After thestated 15-min time for coming to equilibri

46、um, read the menis-cus levels in both arms of the pycnometer to the nearest 0.2 ofthe smallest scale division. Wait 5 min and check readings. Ifthe sum of the readings at the two different times do not agreeto within 60.04, repeat at 5-min intervals until checks areobtained. Record the sum of these

47、readings and also record thecorresponding apparent volume from the calibration curve forthe same temperature.NOTE 4The final level of oil in the pycnometer should not be morethan 5 mm below the tip of the ground glass end of the pycnometer, andthe level in the long (bulb) side of the pycnometer shou

48、ld be no lower thanit has been at any time during the procedure. With these precautions,drainage error (which is important with very viscous samples) is entirelyeliminated.10.7 Remove the pycnometer from the bath and tilt it so thatthe liquid moves down in the short arm and up in the bulb arm.Clean

49、and dry the outside of the pycnometer as described in thecalibration procedure (Section 9). Allow to come to balanceroom temperature. Weigh to the nearest 0.1 mg. Subtract theweight of empty pycnometer, without the side arm, to get theweight of sample.11.
