3、rd procedure fordetermining the average viscometric degree of polymerization(abbreviated DPv) of new or aged electrical papers. Thedetermination is made by measuring the intrinsic viscosity of asolution of the paper in an appropriate solvent.1.2 The degree of polymerization (or the degree of conden-

4、sation) of a particular cellulose molecule is the number ofanhydro-b-glucose monomers, C6H10O5, in the cellulose mol-ecule. Within a sample of paper, not all the cellulose moleculeshave the same degree of polymerization so that the mean valuemeasured by viscometric methods is not necessarily the sam

This standard does not purport toaddress all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with itsuse. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard toestablish approp

9、450.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method may be applied to all papers made fromunmodified cellulose, as used in transformer, cable, or capaci-tor manufacture. It applies to new or aged papers. Forinformation, Appendix X1 shows an example of statisticaldistribution of DPvvalues for new papers

Nevertheless, where evaluating thedecomposition stage of aged papers, take care to use, as areference, the DPvvalue of the new paper of the very sameorigin; DPvof new papers being a function,

Procedure10.1 Determination of Viscosity:10.1.1 Test SpecimenWeigh to the nearest 0.1 mg anamount (m) of paper, in equilibrium with the controlledatmosphere, of about:10.1.1.1 125 mg when DPvlies between 100 and 300,10.1.1.2 50 mg when DPvlies between 300 and 700, and10

29、.1.1.3 25 mg when DPvlies between 700 and 1500.10.1.2 Solution:10.1.2.1 Put a few glass balls in the flask.10.1.2.2 Add the weighed test specimen.10.1.2.3 Carefully shake or stir by hand to ensure the smallpieces of paper are separated and evenly distributed.10.1.2.4 Add 22.5 mL of distilled water.1

30、0.1.2.5 Again shake or stir by hand to disintegrate and wetall the paper completely.10.1.2.6 Leave for12 h to allow thorough impregnation withwater.10.1.2.7 Add 22.5 mL of 1 M solution of cupriethylene-diamine.D4243 99 (2009)210.1.2.8 Add a number of glass balls so that, when thestopper with capilla

31、ry tube, and so forth, is fitted, the liquidwill entirely fill the flask and reach the bore of the cock. Do notallow any pieces of paper to enter the capillary, for such paperwill not be dissolved.10.1.2.9 Close the cock.10.1.2.10 Allow the specimen to dissolve with mechanicalstirring as described i

32、n 7.1.4. The preferred solution time is 2h; however, when the specimen is not satisfactorily dissolved,the solution time may be increased to a maximum of 18 h. Fora specimen of an aged paper, there is little risk of furthermeasurable degradation due to this increase of solution time.10.1.3 Measureme

33、nt of Viscosity:10.1.3.1 After the period of stirring and before filling theviscometer, allow the solution to stand for 1 h at the tempera-ture of measurement, 20 6 0.1C.10.1.3.2 Take the required volume of solution and transfer itto the viscometer reservoir.Assemble the viscometer and placethe asse

34、mbly in the thermostatic bath.10.1.3.3 Wait 15 min before beginning the measurements.Then raise the liquid level above the upper mark of theviscometer either by means of air pressure or slight vacuum.Measure the efflux time between the upper and lower marks.Make three successive measurements. The di

35、fference betweenthe maximum and minimum time of flow shall be less than 0.5s. If this repeatability is not achieved, clean the viscometer asdescribed in 10.1.4. Take a second specimen of the solutionthat has been kept at the measurement temperature and make afurther series of three measurements. If

36、again the difference isnot less than 0.5 s, take a new specimen of paper and preparea fresh solution.10.1.3.4 Under the same conditions, measure the flow timeof the solvent. This shall be between 90 and 110 s for theviscometer constant C stated in 6.2 (0.00010 # C # 0.00013).10.1.4 Cleaning the Visc

37、ometer:10.1.4.1 By aspiration, fill the tube with chromic-acid mix-ture and immediately empty it again.10.1.4.2 Rinse thoroughly with distilled water.10.1.4.3 Rinse twice with acetone or alcohol.10.1.4.4 Dry by means of compressed gas from a cylinder ordust-and-oil-free compressed air.10.1.5 Make al

39、g container that has been driedand tared.10.2.1.2 If the paper sample is too small for2gtobereserved for determining its water content, use a smallerspecimen. However, if the amount of paper is only sufficientfor the viscometric measurements, its water content may bededuced from the moisture equilib

40、rium curves and the relativehumidity of the conditioning atmosphere with which the paperwas in equilibrium. If equilibrium curves are not available forthe particular paper tested, the following average values maybe used as a first approximation for temperatures between 20and 27C.Relative Humidity of

This willnormally require from 4 to 18 h.10.2.2.2 After drying

42、, replace the cap on the container andallow it to cool in a desiccator for about 45 min. After cooling,equalize the air pressures inside and outside the container byraising and lowering the cap quickly. Weigh the container withthe specimen.10.2.3 Alternative procedures may be used to determine thewa

43、ter content of the paper sample provided that it can beverified that the procedure used will give results that differfrom the results used in 10.2.2 by no more than 0.5 %.11. Calculation11.1 Concentration, c, of Dry Paper in the Solution:11.1.1 The water content H of the paper, as a proportion ofthe

44、 dry weight, is as follows:H 5 M 2 M0/M0!

45、per in the solution is given by:c 5 m 100/45! 1/1 1 H! (6)11.2 Specific Viscosity, hsThe densities of the solvent andof the solution are practically identical. Thus, the specificviscosity hsas defined in 4.2 is given by:hs5Ts2 T0T0(7)where:T0= mean efflux time of the solvent, andTs= mean efflux time

46、 of the solution.11.3 Intrinsic Viscosity h:11.3.1 The intrinsic viscosity is calculated using Martinsformula from the specific viscosity hsand the concentration c(g/100 mL), of dry paper.11.3.2 As Martins formula does not readily lend itself tocalculation of h, use Table 1, which contains values of

47、 theproduct hc as a function of hs.11.3.3 In Table 1, k = 0.14, which value has been foundexperimentally for the operating conditions described.D4243 99 (2009)311.4 Degree of Polymerization DPvThe average visco-metric degree of polymerization DPvis given by the equation:DPva5 h/K (8)where:a= 1, andK

Validity of Results12.1 Two conditions should be met if the results are to beconsidered significant:12.1.1 Both values DPvshould agree within 2.5 % of theirmean value.12.1.2 After measuring the viscosity, filter the solutionthrough a fine-sintered glass filter; wash the filter and a

49、nydeposit with hydrochloric acid (diluted with one part water tothree parts acid), then with distilled water; dry in an oven ofabout 110C, allow to cool in a desiccator, and weigh. Themass of any insoluble residue shall be less than 5 % of theinitial weight of the specimen.12.2 If one or both of these conditions are not met, a furtherseries of tests shall be made. If, again, one or both requirementsare not complied with, the values obtained are considered to beresults, but the test report shall state that the above validityrequirements h
