If this is not the case, alternatemethods of inserting and removing sample boats are acceptable as long asthe temperature, purge time, and flow rate

25、 requirements are met.7.1 Assemble the apparatus as shown in Fig. 1. Both coldtraps following the combustion tube shall contain trichloroet-hylene, but only the first need be cooled with solid carbondioxide. Alternatively, the entire apparatus may be placed in afume hood and the two traps following

Hold between loose plugs of glass wool.7.2 Heat a clean combustion boat to red heat in a bunsenflame or muffle furnace; then transfer the boat to the desiccatorand allow it to cool over fresh desiccant f

27、or not less than 30min.7.3 Remove the boat from the desiccator and weigh it tonearest 0.0001 g (w1). Immediately place 1.0 6 0.1 g of theFIG. 1 Assembly of ApparatusD1603062ethylene plastic under test in the boat and quickly weigh to thenearest 0.0001 g (w2).7.4 Heat the furnace to a constant temper

28、ature of 600C1112F.7.5 With the combustion tube removed from the furnace,adjust the rate of nitrogen flow through the tube to 1.7 6 0.3L/min. Open the inlet end of the combustion tube, quicklyplace the combustion boat with the sample into the tubepositioned so the boat will be at the proper temperat

29、ure whenin the furnace. Close the inlet to the tube and allow the nitrogento flow for a minimum of 5 min to purge oxygen from thesystem prior to placing the tube in the furnace. If the furnace iscontrolled by an external thermocouple, adjust the thermo-couple so that the weld is in proximity to the

30、boat. Insert thecopper plug, if this is used (see 6.3.2). Quickly place the tubeinto the furnace, close the furnace, and allow heating toproceed for at least 15 min.NOTE 7The exact temperature of heating is not critical in the range500 to 700C 932 to 1292F, although a heating time as long as 30 mini

31、s desirable at the lower temperature. If desired, the sample may be put inthe furnace at 300C 572F or less and the temperature of the furnacethen programmed for sample heating to 350C 662F in 10 min, 450C842F in another 10 min, and 500C 932F after a total of 30 min,finally heating at 500C 932F for a

32、n additional 15 min.NOTE 8If the combustion tube and furnace are of adequate size,several sample boats may be tested simultaneously if they are positionedin the furnace within the area which meets the temperature requirements.7.6 Move the tube or furnace so that the boat is no longer inthe heated zo

33、ne of the furnace and allow 5 min for cooling,while maintaining the flow of nitrogen. Remove the copperplug, if present, and the boat through the inlet end of the tubeand allow it to cool in the desiccator for at least 30 min. Takecare that the boat does not become contaminated from anydeposits on t

34、he walls of the tube. Then quickly reweigh theboat and its contents to the nearest 0.0001 g (w3).7.7 If carbon black measurements are to be made at valuesless than 1 %, then the sample boat with the residue of the tubefurnace burn shall be placed in a muffle furnace for approxi-mately 10 min to oxid

35、ize the carbon black. This is to correct forthe presence of residual inorganic matter in the sample. Afterheating, cool the sample boat in a desiccator until it is at roomtemperature. Weigh the boat plus contents to the nearest 0.0001g(w4).7.8 Make all determinations in duplicate.8. Calculation8.1 C
