8、mation in the case of supercooling, or the temperature at which solidcrystals, formed on cooling, disappear when the temperature of the specimen is allowed to rise.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method involves the determination of the time-temperature curve prior to freezing and the determi

The tube is closed by a corkhaving a central hole for the thermocouple or resistance thermometer, a second hole placed to on
17、e side for passage of the stirringrod, and a third hole for introducing wire for seeding at appropriate time.6.1.3 Stirring Mechanism, consisting of a five-coil stirrer formed of stainless steel wire 1.6 mm (116 in.) in diameter. The coilsare so spaced that, in the extreme upward position during ope
18、ration, no coils are exposed above the surface of the sample. Thestirrer is agitated by means of an ordinary windshield wiper motor or other motor devices, operating through suitable linkages soas to provide linear motion of the stirrer. The length of the stroke is adjusted so that the coil just cle

23、1 Assembly of Freezing Point ApparatusD1177 1727. Refrigerant7.1 The refrigerant shall consist of solid carbon dioxide in alcohol or in other suitable bath liquids.NOTE 4A layer of dry ice, at least 13 mm (12 in.) thick, must be maintained in the bottom or on the top of the cooling bath during a det
24、ermination,depending on the bath liquid used. Adequate precautions should be taken against fire hazards or toxic effects of bath liquids, or both.7.2 Liquid nitrogen may be used as the refrigerant when the freezing point of the coolant is 46C (50F)is 46 C (50 F)or lower. (WarningThe liquid nitrogen
25、should be discarded after each daysdays use to avoid the possibility of explosion dueto dissolved oxygen and inadvertent mixing with organic coolant materials.)8. Procedure8.1 Assemble the apparatus as shown in Fig. 1, with no refrigerant and no sample of coolant yet in place. Check the operationof
26、the stirring mechanism after assembly to be sure that all parts operate freely.8.2 Fill the Dewar flask surrounding the freezing tube with the refrigerant liquid, adding pieces of solid carbon dioxide fromtime to time to maintain conditions mentioned in Note 4. Temporarily remove the stopper from th
27、e freezing tube and introduce75 to 100150 mL (2.65 to 3.4 oz.)5.1 oz) of the sample.NOTE 5The sample may be precooled to approximately 8C (15F)8 C (15 F) above the expected freezing point before introducing it into thefreezing tube.8.3 Start the stirrer and adjust it to operate at 60 to 80 strokes p
28、er min (Note 6).As soon as stirring is begun, observe and recordthe temperature at regular intervals of time. Electronic data acquisition systems may also be used in place of manual observationand recording. As the expected freezing point is approached, the time intervals shall be 10 to 15 s. At the
29、 expected freezing point,seeding shall be started to prevent supercooling. This shall be accomplished by introducing a wire which has a small portion ofthe solution being tested frozen on its tip. It is convenient to freeze this solution in a small test tube inserted directly into the coolingbath. T
30、he cooling rate shall be less than 1C (2F)/min1 C (2 F)min at the time the solution is seeded.NOTE 6A stroke is considered as a complete cycle of one upward and one downward motion of the stirrer.8.4 Continue temperature readings at regular intervals for at least 105 min after the apparent freezing
