A thermometer conforming to ISO/R 653, STL/O.Z/ - 151 +45 is recommended

9、. The thermometer shall be held firmly inside the hydrometer cylinder by means of a suitable clip in such a position as not to interfere with the free motion of the hydrometer. 4.3 Hydrometer cylinder, constructed of glass or trans- parent plastics, for example polymethylmethacrylate or equiv- alent

18、9 OLL909L L9T Page 6 EN IS0 3993 : 1995 6 Sampling The procedure for sampling for calibration of the apparatus and for subsequent testing is described below. 6.1 Carefully clean and dry the hydrometer (4.11, the ther- mometer 4.21 and the inside wall of the pressure cylinder (4.3). Insert the hydrom

19、eter in the pressure cylinder and attach the thermometer and cover plate. 6.2 Connect the source of supply of the liquid to be tested to the inlet valve by suitable fittings so that a representative sample can be introduced into the cylinder (4.3); ascertain that these connections are free from leak

20、s. Open the outlet valve and purge the sampling connections by opening the inlet valve slightly, permitting the product to flow through the outlet valve at the bottom of the cylinder. 6.3 When the connections have been purged, close the outlet and vent valves and open the inlet valve, permitting the

21、 liquid to enter the cylinder until it is full. If necessary, the vent valve may be opened slightly to permit complete filling of the cylinder, after which it shall be closed. At no time shall the pressure in the cylinder be allowed to rise above a gauge pressure of 1,4 MPa (14 bar). 6.4 When the cy

22、linder has been filled, close the inlet valve and open the outlet valve, permitting the contents of the cylinder to be withdrawn completely and the pressure inside the cylinder to be reduced to that of the atmosphere. 6.5 Close the outlet valve and open the inlet valve, filling the cylinder to a lev

23、el at which the enclosed hydrometer floats freely. If it is necessary to accomplish this filling by venting vapour through the vent valve, repeat the purging to cool the cylinder sufficiently to permit its being filled without the necessity of venting. 6.6 With all valves closed, examine the apparat

24、us for leaks; if leaks are detected, discard the sample, rwuce the pressure to atmospheric and repair the leaks. Repeat the sampling pro- cedure. 7 Calibration of apparatus 7.1 If a hydrometer having a calibration certificate issued by an approved laboratow is not used, the hydrometer shall be calib

25、rated using one of the alternative procedures specified in 7.2 or 7.3 before densities are determined. 7.2 Take three or more samples having different densities in the range of the hydrometer to be tested. Using the procedure specified in clause 8 determine in duplicate for each sample the hydromete

26、r reading on a certified hydrometer. Average the two values for each sample if these do not differ by more than 0.5 kg/m2, or the equivalent. If the duplicate results differ by more than 0.5 kg/m2, or the equivalent, repeat the determina tions. Then obtain the average of duplicate hydrometer reading

27、s on the hydrometer being calibrated following the same procedure. Ensure that the maximum difference in temperature for all these determinations is not more than 0.4 OC (1 OF). Compare the hydrometer readings obtained on the two hydrometers and record any differences as corrections to be applied to

28、 hydrometer readings on the hydrometer being calibrated. 7.3 Use the procedure in clause 8 to determine the density of one of the reference liquids of certified density (see clause 5) at a temperature within f 0.2 OC (0.5 OF) of the certification temperature. Make duplicate determinations and averag

29、e the two results if these do not differ by more than OS kg/mJ, or the equivalent. Deduct the average from the certified density of the reference liquid to obtain the correction to be applied. If the two results differ by more than 0.5 kg/m3, or the equivalent, repeat the determinations. NOTE - This

30、 method provides a check of the hyorometer at only one point on the scale, but this IS often acceptable for routine tening. 8 Procedure 8.1 be tested as specified in clause 6. Prepare the apparatus and take a sample of the liquid to 8.2 Disconnect the cylinder from the source of supply of liquid and

31、 place it in the water bath (4.4) maintained at 15 ? 0,2 OC, 20 I 0,2 OC or 60 k 0.5 OF until thermal equilibrium has been obtained. To accelerate thermal adjust- ment, occasionally remove the cylinder from the water bath, swirl it gently a few times to ensure mixing, and replace it in the water bat

32、h. Exercise care to prevent damage to the hydrometer and thermometer. Measure the temperature of the water bath using a ther- mometer outside the cylinder in order to avoid the effects of pressure on the thermometer inside the cylinder. Use the ther- mometer inside the cylinder to ensure that the li

33、quid under test has reached constant temperature and that the temperature of the liquid does not vary significantly during the determination. 8.3 Remove the cylinder from the water bath (see the notei, stand it on a fim level surface and, while the hydrometer is floating freely, take the hydrometer

34、reading as promptly as possible in the following manner : Observe a point slightly below the plane of the liquid surface and then raise the line of vision until this surface, seen as an ellipse, becomes a straight line. The point where this line cuts the hydrometer scale is the reading of the instru

35、ment. A white card held behind the cylinder just below the liquid level will im- prove the visibility of the surface. Estimate the hydrometer reading to the nearest one-fifth of a subdivision of the scale. NOTE - The cylinder may be left in the water bath, provided thar the hydrometer reading can be

36、 clearly observed in accordance with the re- mainder of this sub-clause. Read the temperature in the cylinder to the nearest 0.2 OC 0,5 OF) immediately before and after reading the hydrometer. If these temperatures differ by more than 0.4 OC (1 OF), repeat the determination. CEN EN*IS0*3993 95 34045

CAUTION - If so used, the cylinder must be vented and the test discontinued if the pressure in the cylinder rises above a gauge pressure of 1,4 MPa (14 bar). 8.6 Apply hydrometer corrections, if any, to the result. If determinations a
