14、28-2959. United States18. Procedure8.1 Ignite the crucible with cover in the muffle furnace at550 6 25C for 1 h. Place the crucible and cover in thedesiccator. Cool to room temperature and weigh to nearest 0.1mg.8.2 Dry an adequate sample of carbon black for1hinthegravity-convection oven set at 125C
15、 in an open container ofsuitable dimensions, so that the depth of the black is no morethan 10 mm. Cool and store the sample in a desiccator.8.3 Weigh 2 60.1 g of the dried carbon black into theignited crucible and weigh to the nearest 0.1 mg. Place theuncovered crucible and its cover into the furnac
16、e (Note 1)at550C for 16 h (porcelain crucible) or 1.5 h (porous quartzfiber cruciblesee 6.1.1). Cover the crucible containing the ash,remove from the furnace to the desiccator, and allow to cool toroom temperature. Weigh the covered crucible to the nearest0.1 mg. Put the covered crucible back into t
17、he desiccator foradditional 0.5 h. Reweigh to the nearest 0.1 mg. Repeat thisweighing process until constant mass is obtained.NOTE 1For carbon blacks with very low ash content (such as highpurity blacks) larger sample mass and longer ashing time may be required.NOTE 2If control testing is done at te
18、mperatures exceeding 550C,some volatile salts may be lost from inorganic ash.9. Calculation9.1 Calculate the percent ash to the nearest 0.01 % asfollows:A 5 D 2 B!/C 2 B!# 3100 (1)where:A = ash, %,B = mass of crucible, g,C = mass of crucible plus the sample, g, andD = mass of crucible plus the ash,

Precision and Bias11.1 These precision statements have been prepared inaccordance with Practice D4483. Refer to
20、 this practice forterminology and other statistical details.11.2 The precision results in this precision and bias sectiongive an estimate of the precision of this test method with thematerials used in the particular interlaboratory program de-scribed below. The precision parameters should not be use
21、d foracceptance or rejection testing of any group of materialswithout documentation that they are applicable to those par-ticular materials and the specific testing protocols of the testmethod. Any appropriate value may be used from Table 1.11.3 A type 1 inter-laboratory precision program was con-du
22、cted as detailed in Table 2. Both repeatability and reproduc-ibility represent short term (daily) testing conditions. Thetesting was performed using two operators in each laboratoryperforming the test once on each of two days (total of fourtests). A test result is the value obtained from a singledet
23、ermination. Acceptable difference values were not mea-sured. The between operator component of variation is in-cluded in the calculated values for r and R.11.4 The results of the precision calculations for this test aregiven in Table 1. The materials are arranged in ascending“mean level” order.11.5
24、RepeatabilityThe pooled relative repeatability, (r), ofthis test has been established as 16.0 %. Any other value inTable 1 may be used as an estimate of repeatability, asappropriate. The difference between two single test results (ordeterminations) found on identical test material under therepeatabi
25、lity conditions prescribed for this test will exceed therepeatability on an average of not more than once in 20 casesin the normal and correct operation of the method. Two singletest results that differ by more than the appropriate value fromTable 1 must be suspected of being from different populati
26、onsand some appropriate action taken.NOTE 3Appropriate action may be an investigation of the test methodprocedure or apparatus for faulty operation or the declaration of asignificant difference in the two materials, samples, etc., which generatedthe two test results.11.6 ReproducibilityThe pooled re
27、lative reproducibility,(R), of this test has been established as 29.7 %.Any other valuein Table 1 may be used as an estimate of reproducibility, asappropriate. The difference between two single and indepen-dent test results found by two operators working under theprescribed reproducibility condition
28、s in different laboratorieson identical test material will exceed the reproducibility on anaverage of not more than once in 20 cases in the normal andcorrect operation of the method. Two single test resultsproduced in different laboratories that differ by more than theappropriate value from Table 1
29、must be suspected of beingfrom different populations and some appropriate investigativeor technical/commercial action taken.11.7 BiasIn test method terminology, bias is the differencebetween an average test value and the reference (true) testTABLE 1 Precision Parameters for D1506 Ash Content, (Type

34、ways keep the sample covered when transferring itto and from the desiccator to prevent the loss of ash due to aircurrents.13.1.2 After the test portion has cooled in the desiccator,admit air slowly to avoid loss of ash from the crucible.14. Procedure14.1 Pre-heat the furnace containing crucibles and
35、 covers toa set point of 550C 6 25C for 1 h. Place the crucible andcover in the desiccator and cool to room temperature.14.2 Place an adequate sample of carbon black in an opencontainer so that the depth of the black is no more than 10 mm.Dry the sample for1hinthegravity convection oven set at125C,
36、cool and store the sample in a desiccator.14.3 Determine and record the mass of the empty crucible.After the crucible has been conditioned, it is important not totouch or contaminate the cleaned crucibles.14.4 Add approximately2gofcarbon black to the crucibleand determine its mass to 0.1 mg.14.5 Pla
37、ce samples in the ashing chamber of the microwavefurnace. Prop open the door of the ashing chamber approxi-mately 6 mm to allow a flow of air. This is necessary to ensurethat enough air flows into the ashing chamber to support thecombustion of organic material.14.6 In general, test portions should t
38、ake2htoashforquartz crucibles and 6 h for porcelain crucibles.14.7 After the allotted time, remove the crucibles from themicrowave furnace. Take care not to lose any ash whilehandling the crucibles. Place the crucible and test portion intoa desiccator for cooling. Store in a desiccator until ready t
39、odetermine the mass of the ashed test portion.14.8 Determine the mass of the crucible and ash to thenearest 0.1 mg. If trying to determine the proper ashing time,place the crucible back into the microwave furnace and heat foran additional hour. If there is less than 0.5 mg loss in mass, theblack has
40、 been adequately heated. If the change is greater than0.5 mg, continue this procedure until the mass change is lessthan 0.5 mg.14.9 Repeat the procedure on subsequent test portions.NOTE 4For carbon blacks with very low ash content (such as highpurity blacks) larger sample mass and longer ashing time
41、 may be required.15. Calculation15.1 Calculate the percentage of ash to the nearest 0.01 % asfollows:A 5 D 2 B!/C 2 B!# 3100 (2)where:A = ash, %,B = mass of crucible, g,C = mass of crucible plus the test portion, g, andD = mass of crucible plus the ash, g.16.

Precision and Bias17.1 This precision and bias has been prepared in accor-dance with Practice D4483. Refer to this practice for terminol-ogy and other statistical
43、 details.17.2 The precision results in this precision and bias give anestimate of the precision as described below. The precisionparameters should not be used for acceptance/rejection testingof any group of materials without documentation that they areapplicable to those particular materials and the
44、 specific testingprotocols that include this test method.17.3 A Type 1 inter-laboratory precision program was con-ducted in 1990. Both repeatability and reproducibility repre-sent short term testing conditions. Three laboratories tested fivecarbon blacks (A, B, C, D, and E) twice on two different da
45、ys.Therefore, p =3,q = 5, and n = 4.Acceptable difference valueswere not measured.17.4 The result of the precision calculations are given inTable 3 with the material arranged in ascending mean levelorder.17.5 The precision for the pooled values for ash contentmay be expressed as follows:17.6 Repeata
46、bilityThe repeatability, r, of the ash contentresult has been established as 0.08 % ash. Two single testresults (or determinations) that differ by more than 0.08 % ashmust be considered suspect and dictates that some appropriateinvestigative action be taken.17.7 ReproducibilityThe reproducibility, R
47、, of the ashcontent result has been established as 0.08 % ash. Two singletest results (or determinations) produced in separate laborato-ries that differ by more than 0.08 % ash must be consideredD1506 99 (2013)3suspect and dictates that some appropriate investigative ortechnical/commercial action be
