1、Designation: D3642 98 (Reapproved 2010)Standard Test Method forSoftening Point of Certain Alkali-Soluble Resins1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3642; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of

2、last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the soft-ening point of certain alkali-soluble resins having uniformplast

3、ic flow characteristics as the melting point is approached.1.2 The resin manufacturer should specify whether or notthis test method may be used for his product(s).1.3 This test method is not suitable for styrene-maleicanhydride resins.NOTE 1For testing rosin and other resins, see Test Method .

6、 softening pointthe temperature at which a disk ofthe sample held within a horizontal ring is forced downward adistance of 1 in. (25.4 mm) under the weight of a steel ball asthe sample is heated at a prescribed rate in a glycerin bath.4. Significance and Use4.1 In general, with materials of this typ

7、e, softening doesnot take place at a definite temperature. As the temperaturerises, these materials gradually and imperceptibly change frombrittle solids to soft, viscous liquids. For this reason, thedetermination of the softening point must be made by a fixed,arbitrary, and closely defined methods

Note the following requirements:5.5.1 The ring shall be supported in a horizontal position.5.5.2 The bottom of the ring shall be 25.4 mm (1 in.) abovethe horizontal plate below it.5.5.3 The bottom surface of the horizontal plate shal

11、l be atleast 12.5 mm (0.5 in.) and not more than 19 mm (0.75 in.)above the bottom of the beaker.5.5.4 The depth of liquid in the beaker shall be not less than102 mm (4 in.).5.5.5 The thermometer shall be suspended so that thebottom of the bulb is level with the bottom of the ring andwithin 12.7 mm (

12、0.5 in.) but not touching the ring.5.6 ThermometerAn ASTM High Softening Point Ther-mometer, having a range from 30 to 200C, and conforming tothe requirements for Thermometer 16C as prescribed in Speci-fication E28.5.7 Mechanical StirrerA variable-speed, motor-drivenstirrer attached to the bottom of

13、 a true-vertical shaft must beused to ensure uniform heat distribution. The stirrer shall bepositioned and its speed shall be regulated so that the fluid inthe bath is completely but gently agitated, with no vortexing,turbulence, or air entrainment.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM

Precautions6.1 Note the instructions concerning stirrer speed (5.7) andfollow closely. Take care that the stirrer motor does not impartvibrations to the bath through the support sys

17、tem.6.2 Previously boil the glycerin used in the bath in a fumehood.6.3 Rigid adherence to the prescribed rate of heating (Sec-tion 8) is absolutely essential to the accuracy and reproducibil-ity of this test method. Reject all tests in which the rate ofincrease exceeds the limits.6.4 When the ball

18、drops through the ring, it should becompletely surrounded by softened resin and should dropstraight down to the lower horizontal plate.7. Preparation of Sample7.1 Select a sample representative of the resin under test.Select a quantity at least twice that necessary to fill the ring andmelt it in a c

19、lean container on a hot plate. Take care to avoidoverheating the sample or incorporating air bubbles into it; inno case should the sample be heated above the temperaturenecessary to pour the material readily without inclusion of airbubbles. The time from the beginning of heating to the pouringof the

20、 sample should not exceed 15 min. Immediately beforefilling the rings, preheat them to approximately the temperatureat which the resin is to be poured. The rings, while being filled,should rest on a smooth metal plate. Pour the molten resin intothe rings so as to leave an excess above the top surfac

21、e oncooling. Allow the filled ring to cool only enough to permithandling the ring. Working quickly, smooth off the excess resinwith a heated metal spatula so that the top surface of the ringis level and even. Trim off any resin that has adhered to theouter circumference of the ring. Examine the samp

22、le; if itshows any air bubbles or cracks, discard it and prepare anothersample.8. Preparation of Apparatus8.1 Fill the glass vessel to a depth of 102 to 108 mm (4 to414 in.) with boiled glycerin. The starting temperature of theglycerin shall be not less than 45C below the anticipatedsoftening point

23、of the resin. Place the ring in the ring holder,cover it with a ball-centering guide, and gently place a ball inFIG. 1 Shouldered Ring, Ring Holder, Ball-Centering Guide, and Assembly of Apparatus Showing Two RingsD3642 98 (2010)2the center of the guide. Suspend the assembly in the bath andposition

24、the thermometer (in accordance with 5.5.5) and startthe stirrer.9. Procedure9.1 Apply heat to the bath in such a manner that thetemperature of the bath increases 1C/11 to 12 s. This rate ofheating is critical, it must be uniform, and should be checkedat least once every 5C and the heat source adjust

25、ed asnecessary. Avoid the effects of drafts, shielding the apparatus ifnecessary. Record as the softening point the temperature of thethermometer at the instant the resin touches the lower horizon-tal plate. Make no correction for the emergent stem of thethermometer.10. Precision and Bias10.1 Precis

26、ionDuplicate results by the same operatorshall not be considered suspect unless they differ by more than65C.10.2 BiasThis test has no bias because the values pro-duced are defined only in terms of this test method.11.
