The oil content of the filtrate is determined byevaporating the methyl ethyl ketone and weighing the residue

8、.4. Significance and Use4.1 The oil content of a wax may have significant effects onseveral of its properties, such as strength, hardness, flexibility,scuff resistance, coefficient of friction, coefficient of expansion,melting point, and oil straining. The importance of these effectsmay be dependent

9、 upon the ultimate use of the wax.5.

The bath maybe filled with a suitable medium such as kerosine, and may becooled by circulating a refrigerant through coils, or by usingsolid carbon dioxide. A suitable cooling bath

20、ltration assembly (8.5) at the volume and pressure required togive an even flow of filtrate. Either the conventional pressure-reducing valve or a mercury bubbler-type regulator has beenfound satisfactory. The latter type, illustrated in Fig. 3, consistsof a 250 mL glass cylinder and a T-tube held in

21、 the cylinder bymeans of a rubber stopper grooved at the sides to permit theescape of excess air. The volume and pressure of the airsupplied to the filtration assembly is regulated by the depth towhich the T-tube is immersed in mercury at the bottom of thecylinder. Absorbent cotton placed in the spa

41、F MAXIMUM PORE DIAMETER OF RIGID POROUS FILTERSX1.1 ScopeX1.1.1 This test method covers the determination of theacceptability of porous filter sticks used for filtration in TestMethod D721. This test method establishes the maximum porediameter and also provides a means of detecting and measuringchan

42、ges which occur form continued use.X1.2 DefinitionX1.2.1 maximum pore diameterthe diameter in microm-eters of the largest opening in the filter.NOTE X1.1It is recognized that the maximum pore diameter asdefined herein does not necessarily indicate the physical dimensions of thelargest pore in the fi

43、lter. It is further recognized that the pores are highlyirregular in shape. Because of the irregularity in shape and otherphenomena characteristic of filtration, a filter may be expected to retain allparticles larger than the maximum pore diameter as defined and deter-mined herein, and will generall

44、y retain particles which are much smallerthan the determined diameter.X1.3 Summary of Test MethodX1.3.1 The filter is cleaned and wetted with water. It is thenimmersed in water and air pressure is applied against its uppersurface until the first bubble of air passes through the filter. Themaximum po

45、re diameter is calculated from the surface tensionof water and the applied pressure.X1.4 ApparatusX1.4.1 Pressure Measuring Device, mercury-filled manom-eter or equivalent, capable of measuring pressures in incre-ments of 0.5 mm of Hg.X1.4.2 Air Supply, clean and filtered.X1.4.3 Air Pressure Regulat

48、 deducted from the observed pressure.X1.5.5 Increase the air pressure to about 10 mm Hg (orequivalent pressure value if using different units) below theacceptable pressure limit and then at a slow uniform rateequivalent to about 3 mm Hg/min until the first bubble passesthrough the filter. This can b

Read the pressuremeasuring device when the first bubble passes off the undersideof the filter.X1.6 CalculationX1.6.1 Calculate the pore diameter as follows:D 5 2180/pwhere:D = pore diameter, m, andp = pressure reading, mm Hg.NOTE X1.3From this equation, pressure corresponding to the upperand lower limits of the specified pore diameters can be calculated. Thesepressures may be used for acceptance testing.FIG. X1.1 Assembly of Apparatus for Checking Pore Di
