2、he year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 These test methods cover

3、the determination of thespecific gravity, apparent, of liquid industrial chemicals. Twotest methods are covered as follows:1.1.1 Test Method A, specific gravity, apparent, by means ofa hydrometer.1.1.2 Test Method B, specific gravity, apparent, by means ofa pycnometer.NOTE 1Test Method D 4052 descri

Since this test method is tobe in conformity with Terminology E12, all terms readingspecific gravity were changed to specific gravity, apparent,without altering the meaning o

It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish ap

It shall bestated as follows:Specific gravity, apparent, x/yC (1)where x is the temperature of the material and y is thetemperature of

10、 the water.NOTE 2Gas-free distilled water is distilled water that has been boiledto eliminate dissolved gases.4. Significance and Use4.1 Specific gravity, apparent, may be used as a qualitativetest in establishing the identity of a chemical. It may be used tocalculate the volume occupied by a produc

11、t whose weight isknown, or to calculate the weight of a product from its volume.It may be used to determine the composition of binary mixturesof pure chemicals. In the case of most refined industrialchemicals specific gravity, apparent, is of minimal value indefining quality, although it may detect

12、gross contamination.4.2 Of the two test methods described, the pycnometermethod (Test Method B, 1.1.2) is the most accurate andprecise. For this reason it is the preferred method in case ofdisputes. The hydrometer method (Test MethodA, 1.1.1)istheleast accurate and precise, but it is also the simple

13、st and fastestto perform and is often entirely satisfactory for many purposes.If the sample is too viscous to permit the hydrometer to floatfreely, the pycnometer test method should be used.1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E15 onIndustrial Chemicals and are the direct

17、al chemicals often specifydifferent temperatures at which specific gravity, apparent, shallbe measured, for example:Specific gravity, apparent, at 15.56/15.56C,Specific gravity, apparent, at 20/20C,Specific gravity, apparent, at 25/25C, orSpecific gravity, apparent, at 60/60FWhere precision is desir

18、ed, it is necessary to determine thespecific gravity, apparent, at the temperature prescribed in thespecifications for the material to be tested and to use instru-ments that have been calibrated and standardized at thespecified temperature.5.2 The expression “specific gravity, apparent, at 25.0/15.5

19、6C,” for example, means the ratio of the weight in air ofa unit volume of a material at 25.0C to the weight in air ofequal density of an equal volume of gas-free distilled water at15.56C.5.3 It is possible to convert the specific gravity, apparent, atx/T1C to the corresponding value at x/T2C by mult

20、iplying thevalue at T1by the factor given in Table 1. For example, a liquidhas a specific gravity, apparent, of 0.9500 at 20/20C and thevalue at 20/4C is desired: 0.9500 3 0.9982336 = 0.9483, thevalue at 20/4C. The values in Table 1 are the ratios of thedensity of water at the appropriate temperatur

21、es.5.4 If the change in specific gravity, apparent, with tempera-ture of the liquid is known, the specific gravity, apparent, atT1/y may be converted to that at T2/y by the following equation:Specific gravity, apparent, at T2/y 5 T12 T2!k1 specific gravity, apparent, at T1/y(2)where:T1= original tem
