17、sample tube.NOTE 1Warning: Acetone is extremely flammable.7.5 Dry Air, for drying the oscillator tube.8. Preparation of Apparatus8.1 Set up the density analyzer and constant temperaturebath following the manufacturers instructions. Adjust the bathor internal temperature control so that the desired t

18、est tempera-ture is established and maintained in the sample compartmentof the analyzer. Calibrate the instrument at the same tempera-ture at which the density of the sample is to be measured.NOTE 2Precise setting and control of the test temperature in thesample tube is extremely important. An error

19、 of 1.0C can result in achange in density of one in the third decimal place.9. Calibration of Apparatus9.1 Calibrate the instrument when first set up and wheneverthe test temperature is changed. Thereafter, conduct calibrationchecks at weekly intervals during routine operation.9.2 Initial calibratio

20、n, or calibration after a change in testtemperature, necessitates calculation of the values of theconstants A and B from the periods of oscillation (T) observedwhen the sample cell contains air and redistilled, freshly boiledand cooled reagent water.9.2.1 While monitoring the oscillator period, (T),

21、 flush thesample tube with distilled water followed by an acetone flushand drying with dry air. Contaminated or humid air can affectthe calibration. When these conditions exist in the laboratory,pass the air used for calibration through a suitable purificationand drying train. In addition, the inlet

22、 and outlet ports for theU-tube must be plugged during measurement of the calibrationair to prevent ingress of moist air.9.2.2 Allow the dry air in the U-tube to come to thermalequilibrium with the test temperature and record the T-valuefor air.9.2.3 Introduce a small volume of redistilled, freshly

23、boiledand cooled reagent water into the sample tube opening using asuitable syringe. The test portion must be homogeneous andfree of even the smallest air or gas bubbles. The sample tubedoes not have to be completely full as long as the liquidmeniscus is beyond the suspension point. Allow the displa

24、y toreach a steady reading and record the T-value for water.9.2.4 Record the density of air at the temperature andatmospheric pressure of the test. Calculate the density of air atthe temperature of test using the following equation:da, g/mL 5 0.001293273.15/TP/760 (1)where:T = temperature, degrees K

25、elvin, K, andP = barometric pressure, torr.9.2.5 Determine the density of water at the temperature oftest by reference to Table 1.9.2.6 Using the observed T-values and the reference valuesfor water and air, calculate the values of the constants A and Busing the following equations:A 5 Tw22 Ta2#/dw2

(3)where:Tw= observed period of oscillation for cell containingwater,Ta= observed period of oscillation for cell containing air,dw= density of water at test temperature, C, andda= density of air at test temperature, C.Alternatively, use the T and d values for the other refere

31、 needed by perform-ing the routine calibration check described in 9.3.9.2.9 To calibrate the instrument to display relative density,that is, the density of the sample at a given temperature relativeto the density of water at the same temperature, follow9.2.1-9.2.7, but substitute 1.000 for dwin perf

32、orming thecalculations described in 9.2.6.9.3 Weekly calibration adjustments to constants A and B canbe made if required without repeating the calculation proce-dure.NOTE 3The need for a change in calibration generally is attributableto deposits in the sample tube that are not removed by the routine

33、 flushingprocedure. Although this condition can be compensated for by adjusting Aand B, it is good practice to clean the tube sequentially with water,petroleum ether, and acetone.9.3.1 Flush and dry the sample tube as described in 9.2.1and allow the display to reach a steady reading. If the displayd

34、oes not exhibit the correct density for air at the temperature oftest, repeat the cleaning procedure or adjust the value ofconstant B commencing with the last decimal place until thecorrect density is displayed.9.3.2 If adjustment to constant B was necessary in 9.3.1,continue the recalibration by in

35、troducing redistilled, freshlyboiled and cooled reagent water into the sample tube asdescribed in 9.2.3 and allow the display to reach a steadyreading. If the instrument has been calibrated to display thedensity, adjust the reading to the correct value for water at thetest temperature (see Table 1)

36、by changing the value ofconstant A, commencing with the last decimal place. If theinstrument has been calibrated to display the relative density,adjust the reading to the value 1.000.NOTE 4In applying this weekly calibration procedure, it can be foundthat more than one value for A and B, differing i

37、n the fourth decimal place,will yield the correct density reading for the density of air and water. Thesetting chosen then would be dependent upon whether it is approachedfrom a higher or lower value. The setting selected by this test methodcould have the effect of altering the fourth place of the r

38、eading obtainedfor a sample.9.4 Some analyzer models are designed to display themeasured period of oscillation only (T-values) and theircalibration requires the determination of an instrument constantK, which must be used to calculate the density or relativedensity from the observed data.9.4.1 Flush

39、 and dry the sample tube as described in 9.2.1and allow the display to reach a steady reading. Record theT-value for air.9.4.2 Introduce redistilled, freshly boiled and cooled reagentwater into the sample tube as described in 9.2.3, and allow thedisplay to reach a steady reading and record the T-val

40、ue forwater.9.4.3 Using the observed T-values and the reference valuesfor water and air (9.2.4 and 9.2.5), calculate the instrumentconstant K using the following equations:For density:K15 $dw2 da%/$Tw22 Ta2% (4)For relative density:K25 $1.0000 2 da%/$Tw22 Ta2% (5)where:Tw= observed period of oscilla

Procedure10.1 Mix the sample, if required, to be completely homo-geneous. If suspended solids are present in the samp

42、le, filterthrough a 0.5 m filter. Introduce a small amount (about 0.7mL) of sample into the clean, dry sample tube of the instrumentusing a suitable syringe.10.2 Turn on the illumination light and examine the sampletube carefully. Make sure that no bubbles are trapped in thetube and that it is fille

43、d to just beyond the suspension point. Thesample must be homogeneous and free of even the smallestbubbles.NOTE 5If the sample is too dark in color to determine the absence ofbubbles with certainty, the density cannot be measured within the statedprecision limits of Section 13.10.3 Turn the illuminat

44、ion light off immediately aftersample introduction because the heat generated can affect themeasurement temperature.10.4 After the instrument displays a steady reading to foursignificant figures for density and five for T-values, indicatingthat temperature equilibrium has been reached, record theden
