Aniline is alsotoxic by absorption through the skin even in very smallquantities, and should be handled with great caution.) Theaniline shall be sufficiently pure such that wh

If the aniline point of heptane ishigher than this specification, the aniline ma

26、y be dried bydistillation, where the first and last 10 % are discarded. If theaniline point is lower, water may be added until the anilinemeets the specification.NOTE 3It is estimated that approximately 400 ppm to 1400 ppm ofwater in aniline is required to meet the heptane specification.NOTE 4As an

27、alternative to distilling the aniline on the day of use, theaniline may be distilled as described in 7.1, collecting the distillate inampoules, sealing the ampoules under vacuum or dry nitrogen, and storingin a cool dark place for future use. Alternatively, distillate may be storedunder dry nitrogen

28、 in a glass bottle or in single use ampoules kept in acool, dark place. In either case, rigid precaution must be taken to avoidcontamination from atmospheric moisture (Note 2).

30、ry the sample by shaking vigorously for 3 min to5 min with about 10 % by volume of a suitable drying agentsuch as anhydrous calcium sulfate or anhydrous sodiumsulfate. Reduce the viscosity of viscous samples by warming toa temperature below that which would cause the loss of lightends or the dehydra

Remove anysuspended drying agent by use of a centrifuge or by filtration.Heat samples containing separated wax until they are homo-geneous and keep heated during filtration or centrifugation toensure against separation of wax. When suspended water isvisibly present and the

32、sample material is known to dissolveless than 0.03 % by mass of water, the use of a centrifuge forthe removal of suspended water is an acceptable procedure.9. Procedure for Aniline Point9.1 The following methods, to be used as applicable, arecovered as follows:9.1.1 Test Method A, described in detai

33、l in Annex A1,isapplicable to clear samples or to samples not darker than No.6.5ASTM color, as determined by Test Method D1500, havinginitial boiling points well above the expected aniline point.9.1.2 Test Method B, described in detail in Annex A2,isapplicable to light-colored samples, moderately da

34、rk samples,and to very dark samples. It is suitable for samples that are toodark to be tested by Test Method A.9.1.3 Test Method C, described in detail in Annex A3,isapplicable to clear samples or to samples not darker than No.6.5ASTM color, as determined by Test Method D1500, havinginitial boiling

38、ure is not greater than 0.1 C (0.2 F) forlight-colored samples or 0.2 C (0.4 F) for dark samples,report the average temperature of these observations, correctedfor thermometer calibration errors, to the nearest 0.05 C(0.1 F) as the aniline point.11.2 If such a range is not obtained after five observ

39、ations,repeat the test using fresh quantities of aniline and sample in aclean, dry apparatus, and if consecutive temperature observa-tions show a progressive change, or if the range of observationsis greater than the repeatability given in 12.1, report the testmethod as being inapplicable.12.
