7、 Test Methods for Specific Gravity, Apparent, ofLiquid Industrial ChemicalsE 1 Specification for ASTM Liquid in Glass Thermometers3. Summary of Test Methods3.1 A known volume of liquid is spread on a known area offilter paper that is suspended from a sensitive balance in acabinet. Dried air or nitro

8、gen at 25C is passed through thecabinet at a known rate. The loss of weight of the filterpaper/liquid is determined and plotted against time.4. Significance and Use4.1 The rate of evaporation of volatile liquids from asolution or dispersion is important because it affects the rate ofdeposition of a

9、film and flow during deposition, and therebycontrols the structure and appearance of the film. In theformulation of paints and related products, solvents are chosenbased on the evaporation characteristics appropriate to theapplication technique and the curing temperature.1These test methods are unde

27、 needle into the small opening onthe right-hand side of the instrument and position the needle tipso that it almost touches the disk and is just over the line thatwas drawn.8.5 Start applying the solvent to the disk. As the first drophits the disk, start the timer. The solvent should be applied at a

28、uniform rate in 62 s and as evenly as possible along the drawnline. To ensure consistent specimen size, touch the tip of thehypodermic needle to the filter paper to dispense the last dropof solvent.8.6 Immediately lower the wire mesh bracket away from thedisk support. Obtain the first reading of the

29、 position of thesighting disk at 40 s and then every 20 s. Record the time andthe scale reading on the report form. A sample report form isshown in Annex A2.NOTE 1With very slow evaporating solvents, it is not necessary totake readings as often as every 20 s. The operator can determine a suitabletim

30、e interval after the first 200 s.8.7 Stop the timer when the sighting disk has returned to theoriginal unloaded position.NOTE 2The filter paper may be reused provided the solvent leaves noappreciable residue in evaporating.9. Calculation9.1 Calculate the evaporation rate as follows:ER 5CS3 100B 2 Z!

From thecurve, determine at 10 w

33、eight % increments to 90 % and for 95and 100 % evaporation the time in seconds to the nearest valueas follows:Approximate ElapsedTime to 100 % Report to NearestEvaporated Point, s Indicated Value, sLess than 300 1300 to 600 5600 to 1800 101800 to 3600 303600 to 7200 60More than 7200 nearest 2 % of i

34、ndicated valueNOTE 3The curve drawn through the various points should passthrough zero or the origin. If it passes to the right of the origin, thedelivery time was in excess of 12 s or an aliquot larger than that specifiedwas delivered. If it passes to the left of the origin, then the aliquot wassma

35、ller than specified.10. Report10.1 Report the elapsed time in seconds at 10 weight %intervals through 90 % and for 95 and 100 % evaporation, andthe relative evaporation rate (n-butyl acetate = 1.0). Relativeevaporation rate is calculated from the 90 weight % evaporatedtimes for the test solvent and

36、for n-butyl acetate (99 % ester).11. Precision711.1 On the basis of an interlaboratory study of the testmethod in which operators in six laboratories determined the90 % evaporation point of six solvents covering a broad rangein evaporation rate, the between-laboratories coefficient ofvariation was f

37、ound to be 6.3 % relative at 24 df afterdiscarding two divergent values. On the basis of the resultsobtained by three laboratories on three of the solvents having90 % evaporated times of 200 to 600 s, the within-laboratorycoefficient of variation was found to be 0.83 % relative at 18 df.Based on the

38、se coefficients, the following criteria should beused for judging the acceptability of results at the 95 %confidence level:11.1.1 RepeatabilityFor solvents with 90 % evaporationtimes of 200 to 600 s, two results, each the mean of twodeterminations, obtained by the same operator on differentdays shou

Attachthe wire frame to the support hook in the evaporometer.13.2 Close the evaporometer and cabinet doors and equili-brate both chambers as in 6.2.13.3 Adjust the air flow to 21 min/L.14. Conditioning of Sample14.1 See 7.1.15. P

44、rocedure15.1 When all components (including the filter paper inplace) are at equilibrium, adjust the recording pen to aprominent “zero” position near the edge of the chart on therecorder; then turn the switch for the chart motor to the OFFposition. This constitutes the “zero” load and time position

45、forthe test.NOTE 4The milliampere range and chart speed should be selected, ifpossible, so that the dimensions of the weight and time axes of the plottedcurve are approximately the same length.15.2 Measure 0.70 mL of test sample into the hypodermicsyringe (see 8.3).15.3 Open the small side door on t

46、he right-hand side of theinsulating cabinet and insert the hypodermic needle through therubber porthole until the needle tip almost touches the disk andis just over the penciled line.NOTE 5Care must be exercised to avoid depressing the plunger of thesyringe during this operation. Otherwise the solve

47、nt will be accidentallyand prematurely dispensed onto the paper before the strip chart recorderis started.15.4 When all is ready turn the strip chart motor switch tothe ON position and simultaneously start distribution of thespecimen onto the filter paper. The complete specimen shouldbe dispensed un

48、iformly in 106 2 s along the line. The recorderpen will “advance” immediately to an “apex” position equiva-lent to the total weight of the specimen, less that portion thatevaporated during the application period. The pen will gradu-ally return to its original position as the solvent evaporates andth

49、e chart advances. The evaporation is complete when therecording pen has returned to its original “no-load” position.NOTE 6It is common for the final portion of the curve to exhibit a“tailing-off.” This is due to artifacts of the method such as (1) hydrogenbonding of the last traces of solvent with the cellulose fibers of the filterpaper and (2) a gradual diminution of the area of the filter paper wet bysolvent (that is, in the final stage of evaporation, drying of the paperprogresses from the outer edge toward the center of the disk).
