3、r mixtures used for ozonecrack testing of rubber. These include wet chemical procedures, electrochemical cells, UV absorption,and chemiluminescence with ethylene. See Refs (1-4).2Wet chemical methods (the absorption of ozone in a potassium iodide solution and titration of theiodine released with sod

4、ium thiosulfate) have been in traditional use in the rubber industry, but theyare not suitable for continuous operation, and in recent years they have been shown to be sensitive tosmall variations in test procedures and concentration and purity of reagents. Interlaboratory tests haveindicated that d

5、ifferent procedures do not give equivalent results, and most of them differ from anabsolute UV method. Frequently, wet chemical methods yield higher ozone concentrations due to theoxidizing capacity of other components of the ozone-air mixture.Certain nonreference instrumental methods are amenable t

6、o automatic operation and for this reasonthey are included in this standard. They may be used for routine testing once calibrated against thereference UV method.UV absorption is adopted as the reference method against which the others shall be calibrated. It isan absolute test method and is in commo

7、n use by environmental protection agencies for thedetermination of pollutant ozone in air (see 2.3).Although these test methods are concerned with ozone analysis, it also draws attention to theinfluence of atmospheric pressure on the rate of cracking of rubber at constant ozone concentration asnorma

8、lly expressed in terms of parts by volume.As described inAppendix X2, the variation in ozoneresistance that can result between laboratories operating at significantly different atmosphericpressures can be eliminated by specifying ozone concentration in terms of the partial pressure ofozone.1. Scope1

9、.1 These test methods cover the following three types ofmethods for the determination of ozone content in laboratorytest chambers. Method A (UV absorption) is specified forreference or referee purposes and as a means of calibration forthe alternative methods; Method B, instrumental device (elec-troc

10、hemical or chemiluminescence); and Method C, wetchemical techniques (see Appendix X1). These methods areprimarily intended for use with tests for determining rubberozone cracking resistance and thus are applicable over theozone level range from 25 to 200 mPa.NOTE 1Prior to 1978, ozone concentrations

11、 were expressed inASTMD11 Standards in parts per hundred million (pphm) of air by volume. SeeAppendix X2 for an explanation of the change to partial pressure inmillipascals (mPa).1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.

Summary of Methods3.1 This standard includes the following three types ofindependent methods.3.1.1 Method A Reference Method (UV Instrument)ForUV absorption instruments, the ozonized air is passed througha flow cell. UVenergy (wavelength 254 nm) passes

18、through thecell and the resultant energy is detected at the other end. Thedegree of absorption is dependent on the number of ozonemolecules in the path. The absorption is compared to theabsorption with zero ozone and the difference in energyreceived at the detector is converted into an electrical ou

19、tputand measured. See Appendix X2 for more details and infor-mation.3.1.2 Method BSecondary Method (Instrumental De-vices):3.1.2.1 For chemiluminescent instruments, the ozonized airis passed through an analysis chamber, it contacts a stream ofethylene and the two gases undergo a chemiluminescentreac

20、tion with the emission of photons at about 430 nm. Thisemission is measured on a photomultiplier and converted to anelectrical output.3.1.2.2 For electrochemical methods, the ozonized air isbubbled at a fixed rate through a coulometric (Pt-Hg) cellcontaining a buffered solution of potassium iodide.

21、The iodineliberated from the solution is ionized at the cathode and istransported to the anode by turbulence.At the anode, insolubleHgI is formed with the release of ionic charges equivalent tothe ozone content of the O3-air stream.3.1.3 Method CSecondary Method (Wet Chemical Tech-nique):3.1.3.1 Pro

22、cedure C-1An ozonized air sample is passedthrough an efficient absorption device containing an aqueousbuffered solution of KI. After a fixed absorption time, the I2released is titrated with Na2S2O3and the ozone concentrationis calculated from the thiosulfate consumed.3.1.3.2 Procedure C-2An air samp

23、le is passed through asolution in an efficient absorption container with an electrodeend point device. The solution contains buffered KI and anamount of sodium thiosulfate to permit exhaustive absorptionin 20 to 30 min (total consumption of the sodium thiosulfate).At the endpoint, the voltage across

24、 the electrodes abruptlyincreases and the time of this increase is recorded. The time isrelated inversely to the ozone content.4. Significance and Use4.1 General purpose and many specialty rubbers will un-dergo ozone cracking when exposed to ozone containingatmospheres, when the test specimens or ac

25、tual use productsare under a certain degree of tensile strain. Certain additivessuch as antiozonants and waxes inhibit or prevent this crack-ing. Various rubbers and rubber formulations containing suchadditives are customarily evaluated under static or dynamictensile strain in laboratory ozone chamb

Iffive ozone levels are used to establish the linear regression line,an estimate of the standard deviation of the corrected ozoneconcentration (SD, O3(corr) that is, the standard error of t
