United States1pigments that are not wetted well with kerosine, other immer-sion liquids such as glycerin, ethylene glycol,tet

16、rahydronaphthalene, etc., may be substituted. The liquidmust have a low evaporation rate and narrow boiling range,and the same procedure shall be followed as with kerosine.Water is not a preferred liquid because of the possibility offrothing.5. Hazards5.1 Before a desiccator is used for the first ti

17、me, wrap it ina towel and test under an absolute pressure of under 3 mm.Exercise care in handling the desiccator when under vacuum,since a sudden jar may cause it to collapse.6. Standardization of Pycnometer6.1 Fill the pycnometer with freshly boiled water at 23 to24C, gradually bring to 25 6 0.5C,

18、and then dry and weighas specified in 7.6. Empty the pycnometer, and clean, dry, andreweigh it. Next fill the pycnometer with kerosine at 23 to24C, bring to 25 6 0.5C, dry, and weigh as before. Calculatethe specific gravity, S, of the kerosine at 25/25C as follows:S 5 A/B (1)where:A = weight of kero

19、sine, g, andB = weight of water, g.7. Procedure7.1 DryingDry the pigment, preferably in an electricoven, at 105 6 2C for 2 h.7.2 WeighingTransfer to a clean, dry, weighedpycnometer, sufficient sample to form a layer approximately 20mm (34 in.) deep. For black, blue, and lake pigments of lowspecific

20、gravity, use about1gofsample; for inert crystallinepigments, about 4 g; for opaque white pigments, 7 to 10 g; andfor red lead, from 15 to 20 g. Weigh pigments of a hydroscopicnature from the weighing bottle.7.3 Number of SpecimensRun all samples at least induplicate.7.4 Addition of KerosineAdd enoug

21、h kerosine to thepycnometer to form a clear layer approximately14 in. (6 mm)above the pigment. When necessary, stir the specimen with apolished round-bottom glass rod until completely covered bykerosine, adding more kerosine if necessary. Wash the rod withkerosine, adding the washings to the pycnome

22、ter.7.5 Removal of Occluded AirPlace the pycnometer in thedesiccator. Close the desiccator and attach to the water pumpuntil the greater part of the air is removed from the system.Complete this procedure within a period of 5 to 10 min. Closethe system with a pinchcock and attach the desiccator to th

23、e oilpump for the removal of the small amounts of air given off atthe low pressures obtainable with the oil pump. Use themanometer to indicate whether the oil pump is giving theproper vacuum. When the manometer indicates that the abso-lute pressure is 3 mm and constant, cut off the oil pump forshort

24、 periods, taking care that the vacuum does not changematerially due to leakage. At first bubbles of air rise from thepigments very rapidly, then this action gradually decreases andfinally stops. The time required for complete removal of airmay vary from 30 min to 24 h, depending upon the nature ofth

25、e pigment. When no more bubbles can be seen, it may beassumed that the occluded air has been removed and that thepigment is thoroughly wet with kerosine. Then slowly admitair to the desiccator by means of the pinchcock.7.6 Filling and Bringing to TemperatureRemove the py-cnometer from the desiccator

26、, fill with kerosine at 24 to 25Ctaking care to add a sufficient quantity to prevent air bubbleswhere the pycnometer is closed, and permit to come to constanttemperature at 25 6 0.5C in the water bath. Carefully stopperthe pycnometer and remove excess kerosine with lens paper.Take the pycnometer out

27、 of the bath, allow to come to roomtemperature, and weigh.8. Calculation8.1 Calculate the specific gravity, S, of the pigment asfollows:S 5P1W 2K1D(2)where:P1= weight of pigment used, g,W = weight of water to fill the pycnometer, g,K1= weight of kerosine added to the pigment, g, andD = specific grav

29、, and Immersion LiquidSeeSection 4; also Fig. 2 (e) and (f ).10.2 Bell Jar, glass, with a two-hole rubber stopper. Into onehole of the stopper shall be fitted a separatory funnel with awell-ground stopcock (Fig. 1 (c), extending into the pycnom-eter. Into the other hole of the stopper shall be fitte

30、d a glasstube with a well-ground three-way stopcock (Fig. 2 (d) andFIG. 1 Apparatus for Test Method BD153 84 (2014)2connected with the vacuum pump (Fig. 2 (e). The bell jar shallrest on a sheet of rubber, cemented or vulcanized to a glass oriron plate. With stopcock c closed and stopcock d open to t

31、hepump, the system shall maintain an absolute pressure of atmost 3 mm. A desiccator may be used instead of a bell jar.10.3 Bottle, storage, (Fig. 2 (h) for kerosine or otherwetting liquid.11. Hazards11.1 Before a bell jar (or desiccator) is used for the firsttime, test under a vacuum as described in

32、 Section 5.11.2 Use a buret stopcock (Fig. 2 (c) that is well groundand lubricated with silicone lubricants or use a PTFE-coatedstopcock.12. Procedure12.1 Place the pycnometer containing the weighed, driedpigment under the bell jar. Close stopcocks c and d, start thevacuum pump, and then gradually o

33、pen stopcock d to thepump. When an absolute pressure of 3 mm has been attainedand can be maintained, fill the separatory funnel with kerosine,close stopcock d, and gradually open stopcock c, addingsufficient kerosine to cover the pigment. Then stop the pumpand release the suction at stopcock d. Fina

34、lly, fill the pycnom-eter with kerosine, and complete the test as described in 7.6 andSection 8, under Test Method A.13. Precision13.1 Duplicate determinations by this test method shouldnot differ by more than 0.01.TEST METHOD CFOR RAPID AND ACCURATETESTING OF A SINGLE SPECIMEN14. Apparatus (see Fig

35、. 2 and Fig. 3)14.1 Buret, 100-mL, with a 75-mL bulb in the upper part,and with the lower part (25 mL) graduated in 0.05-mLdivisions (see Fig. 3).14.2 FlaskA special 100-mL graduated flask (Fig. 2 (b)with ground-glass stopper. The flask shall be thick enough towithstand an absolute pressure of 1 mm,

36、 and shall weighbetween 50 and 60 g. The neck of the flask shall be graduatedin 0.05-mL divisions between the 99 and 100-mL marks. Thedimensions of the flask shall be as shown in Fig. 2.14.3 StopcocksA tightly ground stopcock (Fig. 2 (c) aspart of buret, a, and a three-way stopcock (Fig. 2 (d)connec

37、ting with the vacuum pump, e. To prevent leakage ofkerosine use a buret stopcock (Fig. 2 (c) that is well groundand lubricated with silicone lubricant or use a PTFE-coatedstopcock.14.4 Vacuum PumpSee 4.5; also Fig. 2 (e). In thisprocedure the oil vacuum pump shall be capable of reducingthe absolute

38、pressure of the system to 1 mm.14.5 Manometer, Thermometer, Weighing Bottle, and Im-mersion LiquidSee Section 4; also Fig. 2 (f).14.6 BottleSee 10.3.15. Hazards15.1 The variations that occur under normal conditions in aroom do not materially affect the specific gravity of a pigment.However, take car

39、e that the temperature of the liquid aftertransferring to the flask is approximately the same as it waswhen in the buret.FIG. 2 Apparatus for Test Method CD153 84 (2014)315.2 Since in determining both K2and V the tip of the buretand bore of the stopcock plug are empty, no correction is to bemade; bu

40、t stopcock c must be so well ground that under anabsolute pressure of 1 mm for 30 min no leakage of kerosineshall take place. The usual sources of error are failure toremove all the air from the pigment, and leaks in the system.Use a minimum amount of rubber tubing in the system and,wherever it is u

41、sed, coat the joints between rubber and glasswith a melted mixture of beeswax and rosin.15.3 In cleaning the flask of kerosine only, a rinsing two orthree times with ether, followed by dry air (dried over sulfuricacid and calcium chloride), is considered sufficient. Whenpigment is also present, remo

42、ve both pigment and kerosine andfollow with ether rinses until no more pigment remains. Addsome filter pulp (macerated filter paper) and water (with orwithout glass beads), and shake vigorously. Repeat if neces-sary. Rinse the flask with reagent water, and either dry in anoven, or rinse with alcohol

43、 and ether followed by dry air.16. Standardization of Apparatus16.1 Connect the flask to the buret and the pump by meansof a two-holed rubber stopper. Evacuate the system with theburet stopcock (Fig. 2 (c) closed until the pump maintains anabsolute pressure of 1 mm in the flask. Close the three-ways

44、topcock, d, for 30 s, and again open to the pump. There shallbe no appreciable change in the mercury levels in themanometer, indicating that the system beyond stopcock d istight. With the vacuum still maintained, fill the buret from thetop with kerosine, adjusting the level to the zero mark with api

45、ece of capillary tubing. Now close stopcock d, and carefullyopen stopcock c, admitting about 75 mL of kerosine into theflask. Open stopcock d to the air, thus releasing the vacuum inthe flask, and fill the flask with kerosine to a definite mark onthe neck. Read the buret, calling this reading K2(the

46、 volume ofthe flask).317. Procedure17.1 Clean the flask dry, and weigh. Transfer a quantity ofthe dry pigment to be tested to the flask by means of a clean,dry, glass funnel with the stem reaching to the bottom of thebulb. A piece of stiff nickel wire is convenient to push thepowder down the stem. N

47、early fill the bulb of the flask with thepigment, which, however, shall occupy a volume of less than25 mL after all air is expelled. Greater accuracy may beobtained with a large specimen than with a small one. Wipe theinside stem as well as the entire outside of the flask with a cleanpiece of dry, l

48、intless cloth. Weigh the flask and pigment, andcalculate the weight of pigment by deducting the weight of theempty flask. With the buret clean and dry, attach the flask to theevacuating system as shown in Fig. 2. After closing stopcocksc and d, start the pump and carefully open stopcock d to thepump

49、. Continue evacuation until the pump maintains anabsolute pressure of 1 mm in the flask, or until all the air isremoved from the system. Then fill the buret from the top asdescribed in Section 16, close stopcock d, gradually openstopcock c, and add kerosine until the pigment is covered. Tapthe flask gently to dislodge any air bubbles. Stop the pump,open stopcock d to the air, and fill the flask up to the same markas was obtained in determining its volume. Designate thevolume of kerosine required as V.
