Preparation of Apparatus8.1 Set up the density analyzer and constant temperaturebath following the manufacturers instructions. Adjust the bathor internal t

22、emperature control so that the desired test 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 thesamp

23、le tube is extremely important. An error of 1.0 C 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

24、 routine operation.9.2 Initial calibration, 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 Whi

25、le monitoring the oscillator period, (T), 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 purificatio

26、nand drying train. In addition, the inlet 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 Introduc

27、e a small volume of redistilled, freshly 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 beyo

28、nd the suspension point. Allow the display 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/T

35、 Check the calibration and adjust if 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, follow 9.2.1 9.2.

36、7, but substitute 1.000 for dwin performing the calculationsdescribed 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 tub

37、e that are not removed by the routine 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 rea

38、ch a steady reading. If the displaydoes 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.

39、3.1,continue the recalibration by introducing 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 a

40、t thetest temperature (see Table 1) 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 tha

41、n one value for A and B, differing in 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 o

42、f altering the fourth place of the reading 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 relativedensit

43、y from the observed data.9.4.1 Flush 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

44、 steady reading and record the T-value 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)

45、where:Tw= observed period of oscillation for cell containing water,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.10. Procedure10.1 Mix the sample, if required, to be completely homo-geneous. If susp

46、ended solids are present in the sample, filterthrough a 0.5 m filter. Introduce a small amount (about0.7 mL) of sample into the clean, dry sample tube of theinstrument using a suitable syringe.10.2 Turn on the illumination light and examine the sampletube carefully. Make sure that no bubbles are tra

47、pped in thetube and that it is filled 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

48、 Section 13.10.3 Turn the illumination 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 equilibr

49、ium has been reached, record thedensity or T-value.11. Calculation11.1 Calculating Density AnalyzersThe recorded value isthe final result, expressed either as density in g/mL, kg/m3or asrelative density. Note that kg/m3= 1000 gmL.11.2 Noncalculating Density AnalyzersUsing the ob-served T-value for the sample and the T-value for water andappropriate instrument constants determined in 9.4.3, calculatethe density or relative density using (Eq 6) and (Eq 7).
