EN 14371:2004 (E) 4 Introduction The foamability and foamability degree are specified by means of a circulation equipment, where

18、by the solution of the surface active agent is under fast circulation for 10 min. During this circulation a definite volume of foam is generated which is a typical characteristic for the surface active agent at a certain concentration and temperature. This volume is called “foamability“ and is recor

19、ded on a 0 ml to 1 500 ml scale and expressed in millilitres. Additionally the degree of foamability is recorded in parallel on a 0 % to 300 % scale or calculated from the foamability. A basic objective is to test within a time, a defined circulation speed and a concentration range in which the foam

20、 formation comes to a saturation volume. This saturation foam volume nearly represents maximum foamability and is characteristic for any surface active agent. After the circulation has been stopped, the destabilisation of the foam and the time in which half volume of foam is collapsed are recorded.

21、The half volume collapsing time t v/2indicates the foam stability of the surface active agent. A foamability profile versus temperature can be achieved by using single isothermal measurements (Method M 1) or by using a new continuous method (Method M 2), where the temperature is changed (increased)

22、during the test. It was been found that the saturated volume quickly follows the temperature changes during circulation. EN 14371:2004 (E) 5 1 Scope This document specifies a method for the determination of foamability and degree of foamability of surface active agents by means of a circulation equi

23、pment, whereby the solution of the surface active agent is under fast circulation. The method is applicable to many surface active agents, especially for low and medium foaming surface active agents and products containing surface active agents. 2 Normative references The following referenced docume

24、nts are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN ISO 3696, Water for analytical laboratory use Specification and test methods

25、(ISO 3696:1987) EN ISO 4788, Laboratory glassware Graduated measuring cylinders(ISO/DIS 4788:2003) 3 Principle A gear pump recycles 500 g of the test solution, which is carefully controlled concerning the temperature, in a 2 000 ml jacked cylinder and sprays it in a bypass system through a nozzle on

26、to the surface of the liquid. During the test under high flow rate (200 l/h) a characteristic constant ”saturated“ volume is formed which cannot significantly be increased by any increase of the circulation rate. The volumes are measured either by visual recording or other equivalent recording auxil

27、iaries like electronic foam height recording systems. The additionally created foam, starting from a 500 g (ml) volume, is recorded each 30 s. In the time interval between 5,5 min and 10 min where a stable foam phase is observed, the average volume is determined. The foamability at the concentration

28、 c and the temperature T, F (c, T) , results from it as follows: F (c, T)= V s (5,5 min.10 min) / 10 = 0 ml . 1 500 ml where V s (5,5 min.10 min)is the sum of the recorded, saturated volumes at 5,5 min; 6 min; 6,5 min; 7 min; 10 min. Finally the generated volume (= foam) can be compared with the sta

29、rting volume and is expressed or recorded at a scale as degree of foamability at the concentration c and the temperature T, F D(c, T) : F D(c, T) := F (c, T)/ 5 = 0 % . 300 % Finally, having stopped the circulation the collapsing phase is recorded as the half volume of foam collapsing time t v/2expr

30、essed in seconds. This indicates the stability of the foam and is an optional parameter, which can be measured. This value can be determined by extrapolating from a graph or the collected data values or measured directly. First such a concentration is chosen, that at 25 C a volume of foam of about 7

31、00 ml to 1 200 ml can be reached under above conditions, so that good foam characteristics with good resolutions of the values can be achieved. EN 14371:2004 (E) 6 Two equivalent (recording) test methods are available: Method M 1: Isothermal measurement The recording is done at a defined constant te

32、mperature, e.g. at 25 C; other preferred temperatures for recording are 20 C, 30 C, 40 C . 80 C. Finally a foamability profile is plotted using the foamability (saturated volume) V sversus temperature or the degrees of foamability % V sversus temperature. Typically two recordings under identical con

33、ditions are made and the average values are taken. Method M 2: Continuous measurement After an isothermal starting phase (5 min at 20 C) a saturated foam volume is found. Afterward during a continuous temperature increase of 1 C/min between 20 C to 80 C, the foam volumes are recorded. The saturated

34、foam volume quickly follows the temperature changes and the foamability V sversus temperature can be graphically recorded. The values shall be recorded at each degree. 4 Reagents 4.1 General During the test use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and water complying with grade 1 in accordan

41、) shall be assembled according to the suppliers instructions. Install the telescopic stand, fix the suspension lever with the screw on the telescopic stand, at a height of 688 mm from the desk, fix the gear pump (5.1.2) on the swinging lever and fix the swinging lever above the supporting lever with

42、 a clamp ( 732 mm); shift both to a position (slight corrections are possible) where the suction tube can be installed on the pump head. The distance between suction tube and bottom of the cylinder shall finally be exactly 10 mm. Fix a clamp ( 445 mm) on the lower part of the telescopic stand, so th

43、at the whole upper part cannot be shifted lower than to the clamp. Now adjust this 10 mm distance between the suction tube and the bottom. The swinging lever can be moved upward together with the suction tube, if necessary, upward after a slight release at its fixation clamp. Then it is possible to

44、remove the cylinder by lifting and moving the suction tube with the pump slightly to the operator. Install the bypass with the manometer and the nozzle. The nozzle shall be in a position exactly central above the cylinder. Fix the electronic temperature sensor along and behind the suction tube with

45、small plastic clamps and connect it to the thermostatic bath or to the device which indicates the internal temperature. Connect pump and regulation unit. The arrangement of the test equipment is shown in Figure A.1. 6.2 Calibration of the pump and circulation flow To determine the necessary flow rat

46、e of 200 l/h, it is helpful to measure the flow rate for at least three different pump settings, e.g. at 40, 60 and 80 intervals by regulating the pump control unit. Usually a setting of about 70 units gives a flow rate of 200 l/h. Pour approximately 2 l of water into a 2 l calibrated beaker and cir

47、culate it at the desired setting. Take the mass of calibrated beaker, fill in during circulation until an amount of approximately 900 g from the water jet is reached. Time with the stopwatch (5.5) to the nearest 0,1 s. Read the mass of water caught in the beaker on the balance (5.4) to the nearest 0

48、.1 g. Use the following short form of equation for the calculation of the flow rate, r f : t , m r f 6 3 = (1) where m is the mass of the water caught in the beaker, in grams; t is the time, in seconds. EN 14371:2004 (E) 8 Using at least three different values, plot the most accurate calibration graph possible for pump delivery l/h against scale intervals. Extrapolate this graph to obtain the scale interval necessary for 200 l/h. If required, check the calibration at suitable time intervals. Under standard conditions the manometer i
