Summary of Test Me

10、thod4.1 A specimen is cooled at a rate of 10 6 5C/min whilecontinuously being illuminated by a laser light source. Thespecimen is continuously monitored by optical crystal andopacity detectors for the first formation of solid hydrocarboncrystals. Once the hydrocarbon crystals are detected by bothset

11、s of optical detectors, the specimen is then warmed at a rateof 3 6 0.5C/min. When initial opacity in the specimendisappears, the specimen is then warmed at a rate of 12 6lC/min. The specimen temperature at which the last hydro-carbon crystals return to the liquid phase, as detected by thecrystal de

12、tector, is recorded as the freezing point.4.2 In certain circumstances, as measured by the apparatus,the specimen is reheated to approximately 10C, then cooled atthe rate in 4.1 until hydrocarbon crystals are detected by thecrystal detector. The specimen is then warmed at a rate of 12 61This test me
