The specimen to bemeasured is placed in a test tube containing a solution whosedensity at 35C is within 0.0200 g/cm3o
6、f the density of thespecimen at 25C. The solution is prepared using miscibleliquids of known densities bracketing the desired range. Thetube also contains a glass density reference standard whosedensity at 35C is close to that of the solution at 35C; the tubeis immersed in a variable-temperature com
7、parator bath. Ini-tially the solutions, specimen, and standard are at a temperaturenear 25C, and both the standard and the specimen float in thesolution. The temperature of the system is raised at a uniformrate. Because the volumetric expansion coefficient of thesolution is much higher than those of
8、 the glass pieces, itsdensity decreases more rapidly and eventually both the stan-dard and the specimen will sink (settle) in the solution. Thetemperatures at which the specimen and standard reach themid-point of the test tube are noted and by use of special tables,the density of the specimen is obt
9、ained.3.2 Range of a Given Density Solution A given densitysolution can be used to measure specimens whose density iswithin6 0.0200 g/cm3of the density of the solution at 35C, byoperating the comparator bath in the range 25 to 45C.4. Significance and Use4.1 The sink-float comparator method of test f
10、or glassdensity provides the most accurate (yet convenient for practicalapplications) method of evaluating the density of small piecesor specimens of glass. The data obtained are useful for dailyquality control of production, acceptance or rejection underspecifications, and for special purposes in r
11、esearch and devel-opment.4.2 Although this test scope is limited to a density rangefrom 1.1 to 3.3 g/cm3, it may be extended (in principle) tohigher densities by the use of other miscible liquids (TestMethod F77) such as water and thallium malonate-formate(approximately 5.0 g/cm3). The stability of
12、the liquid and theprecision of the test may be reduced somewhat, however, athigher densities.5. Apparatus5.1 Single Tube and Multiple-Tube Comparators (MethodE 77) A single-tube comparator can be constructed frommaterials readily available in a typical laboratory, and useful ifone wishes to measure
13、the density of materials within a fairlynarrow range, or if only a few tests need to be run each day.The multiple-tube comparator can be purchased commercially.It is useful if materials with a wide range of density must betested or if many specimens must be tested each day. Thecomparators shall cons

Reagents and Materials6.1 Density Reference StandardsThe reference standardshall be a solid piece of glass with a volume between 0.10 and0.15 cm3, and a ratio of major to minor dimensions notexceeding 2.0. It shall have a smooth surface and be free
23、ofseeds, cords, and cracks. A quantity of such standards may becut from a 20-g piece of glass similarly free of defects, withdensity at 25C (r25) known to 60.0001 g/cm3. The density ofsuch a standard glass can be determined to 60.00001 g/cm3bya precise buoyancy method.4Determine the settling tempera
24、-ture of each reference standard to the nearest 0.1C and discardany that deviate more than 0.1C from mean temperature. Lessprecise density standards are commercially available.6.2 Density SolutionThe following organic liquids5aremixed to provide a solution of the desired density:6.2.1 Isopropyl Sali
25、cylate, density (25C) approximately1.10 g/cm3or alpha-bromonaphthalene, density (25C) ap-proximately 1.49 g/cm3.6.2.2 sym-Tetrabromoethane, density (25C) approximately2.96 g/cm3.6.2.3 Methylene Iodide, density (25C) approximately 3.32g/cm3.NOTE 1Methylene iodide, sym-tetrabromoethane, and alpha-brom
26、onaphthalene are light-sensitive. These liquids should be stored inlight-protective containers.Apiece of copper wire in the methylene iodidecontainer will help retard decomposition.6.2.4 The density solution consists of mixtures of isopropylsalicylate and sym-tetrabromoethane for densities between 1
27、.10and 2.96 g/cm3, and of sym-tetrabromoethane and methyleneiodide for densities between 2.96 and 3.32 g/cm3. Properamounts of the two liquids to be used are found by simulta-neous solution of:rsVs5r1V11r2V2(1)Vs5 V11 V2(2)rs5 r1V11r2V2!/V11 V2! (3)where:rs= density of solution density of standard a

35、5C using the Bingham pycnometer, Test Method D 1217,orequivalent pycnometer method. Calculate the temperaturecoefficient of density, Cr, as follows:Cr5 rT12rT2!/T12 T2! (4)where:Cr= temperature coefficient of the solution,g/cm3C, andrT1and rT2= density of the solution at temperature T1and T2, g/cm3.
36、7.3 Equations for Determination of Density:NOTE 2Alternative equations or method of calculation may be used inconjunction with different density tables and standard settling tempera-tures.7.3.1 These equations relate the specimen density to itssettling temperatures. Express the exact relationship:rT
37、5rs1 CrT 2 Ts! (5)where:rT= density of specimen at its settling temperature, T, andrs= density of standard at its settling temperature, Ts,approximately 35C.7.3.2 If the thermal expansions of a specimen and standardare similar, express their densities at 25C as follows:r255rs251 Cr1 3asrs!T 2 Ts! (6
38、)where:r25= specimen density at 25C,rs25= standard density at 25C, andas= linear expansion of standard expansion of speci-men.7.3.3 It is convenient to fix 35C as the settling temperatureof the standard, as it will vary slightly with heating rate,operator, and liquid density. The specimen settling t
39、emperaturemust be corrected as follows:Tc5 T 1 35 2 Ts! (7)where:Tc= corrected specimen settling temperature,T = observed specimen settling temperature, andTs= observed standard settling temperature.Eq 6 then becomes:r255rs251 Cr1 3asrs!Tc2 35! (8)7.4 Density TableThis table is prepared and used whe
40、nmany routine densities are to be determined. Eq 8 is solved forTcbetween 25 and 45C in 0.1C increments, and specimendensity at 25C is tabulated with corrected specimen settlingtemperature Tc. A typical density table is shown in Table 2.7.5 Density Equation for Unlike ExpansionsIf the thermalexpansi
41、ons of specimen and standard differ, specimen densitywill be in error by approximately 0.0001 g/cm3for every20 3 107/C mismatch in expansion. This error is greater ifthe specimen settles above 35C and less if it settles below35C. Use the following equation, which is accurate to60.0001 g/cm3:r255rs25

Procedure for Determining Density of Test Specimens8.1 Prepare the specimen for testing by cutting from thesample a piece comparable in size with the standard. The testspecimen should be smooth and fre
43、e of bubbles and cracks.Identify the specimen using a diamond-point marking pencil orby cutting it to a distinctive shape. Clean the specimen inreagent grade alcohol or acetone and wipe dry with silicone-free lens tissue. Place specimen in the solution (Note 3) thatcontains the standard. The bath an
44、d solution temperaturesshould be approximately 256 3C, and both specimen andstandard should float.NOTE 3Adsorbed moisture on the specimen surface will lower themeasured density. Moisture, from condensation, on the solution surfaceshould be removed by periodically filtering the solution through coars
45、efilter paper.8.2 Place all the tubes, thermometers, stoppers, etc., in theirproper location in the bath, and rapidly heat the bath (1 to2C/min), noting the temperature of the density solution atwhich the test specimen (or the standard) begins to settle.8.3 Adjust the bath temperature by cooling to
46、2 to 4Cbelow the expected settling temperature of the specimen (orstandard). Allow the bath and solutions to come to equilibriumfor 10 min, then heat the bath at a rate of 0.1 6 0.02C/min.Heating rates can be controlled by adjusting the power to thehotplate or immersion heater and the cooling water
47、flow rate.Cooling water is used as a fine adjustment of heating rate.8.4 As either the specimen or standard begin to settle in thesolutions, note the temperature at which either is halfwaybetween upper and lower cage disks. The bath and densitysolution temperatures must agree within 0.4C when thetem
48、perature is recorded, with the bath temperature beinghigher. Record T and Ts.8.5 Calculate the corrected specimen settling temperature,Tc, by Eq 7. From an appropriate density table prepared fromEq 4 and Eq 8, read the density that corresponds to thecorrected specimen settling temperature, Tc. This
49、density is thedensity of the specimen at 25C, r25.8.6 Up to three test specimens can be run in a single tubesimultaneously.C7290549.
