16、e5.1 This test method is suitable for determining the quantity of TBC inhibitor, both for the protection against polymerizationwhile in transit and storage, and for internal quality control.6. Apparatus6.1 Visible Range Spectrometer, equipped with absorption cells providing light paths from 1 to 5 c

17、m for use at approximately490 nm.6.2 Volumetric Pipets and PipetorsThe sample pipet volume should be sized to fill the spectrometer absorption cell. Pipetorvolumes must be scaled to the sample volume. This procedure is written using a 15 mLsample volume. The following table showshow reagent pipetor

Hazards8.1 Consult current OSHAregulations, suppliers Material suppliers Safety Data Sheets, and local regulations for all materialsused in this test method.8.2 Handling Precautionsp-tert-butylcatechol, particularly when molten or in concen

26、trated solution, is very corrosive to theskin. It is also a systemic poison when taken orally or absorbed in quantity through the skin.8.3 Flammable HazardsStyrene monomer is flammable and can polymerize exothermally under a variety of conditions, mostespecially in the presence of peroxides, mineral

Preparation of Calibration Curve10.1 Prepare standards of approximately 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 70, and 100 mg/kg TBC in toluene by diluting 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4,5, 7, an

Procedure11.1 Zero the spectrometer with the specimen to be analyzed.11.2 Add 15 mL of specimen to a clean round container.11

32、.3 Verify that the alcoholic NaOH reagent and pipetor are free of particulates.NOTE 3The particulates formed in the sodium hydroxide reagent from exposure to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will scatter light and may causean error in the determination.11.4 Add 300 L of alcoholic NaOH reagent to the

33、 container and mix vigorously with a vortex mixer for 30 s.NOTE 4If a vortex mixer is not available, continuous vigorous shaking for 30 s is required. Rapid reaction completion depends on the formulationof an emulsion of aqueous NaOH in the sample mixture.11.5 Add 600 L of methanol to the container

34、and shake for about 15 s, creating a clear solution from the reaction emulsion.11.6 Measure the absorbance at 490 nm as soon as possible and within 5 min.11.7 Read the concentration in mg/kg TBC from the graph.

Report12.1 Report the inhibitor content as mg/kg (or ppm) of p-tert-butylcatechol.-butylcatechol to the nearest 0.1 mg/kg12.2 Results less than the LOD should be reported as 0.2 mg/kg.13. Precision and Bias513.1 The following criteria shou

36、ld be used to judge the acceptability of results obtained by this test method (95 % confidencelevel). The precision criteria were derived from an ILS that was conducted using six laboratories analyzing three sample ofunknown concentration of TBC with two determinations for each sample. Each determin

37、ation was the result of one measurementas specified in this standard. Practice E691 was followed for the design and analysis of the data; the details are given in ASTMResearch Report RR:D16-1009.13.2 Intermediate Precision (formerly called Repeatability)Results in the same laboratory should not be c

38、onsidered suspectunless they differ by more than the values shown in Table 1. Results differing by less than “r” have a 95 % probability of beingcorrect.13.3 ReproducibilityResults submitted by two laboratories should not be considered suspect unless they differ by more thanthe values shown in Table

39、 1. Results differing by less than “R” have a 95 % probability of being correct.13.4 BiasThere is a bias associated with running the test method that is statistically significant at the 95 % confidence level.The bias for the unknown samples is an average absolute value of 0.6 mg/kg with the observed

40、 results lower than the actualamounts added. However, at the 99 % confidence level, the bias is not statistically significant.14. Quality Guidelines14.1 Laboratories shall have a quality control system in place.14.1.1 Confirm the performance of the test instrument or test method by analyzing a quali

41、ty control sample following theguidelines for standard statistical quality control practices.14.1.2 Aquality control sample is a stable material isolated from the production process and representative of the sample beinganalyzed.14.1.3 When QA/QC protocols are already established in the testing faci

42、lity, these protocols are acceptable when they confirmthe validity of test results.14.1.4 When there are no QA/QC protocols established in the testing facility, use the guidelines described in Guide D6809 orsimilar statistical quality control practices.15.
