18、ired number of test tubes. The bath may be filled with asuitable medium such as kerosine, and may be cooled bycirculating a refrigerant through coils, or by using solid carbondioxide. A suitable cooling bath to accommodate three testtubes is shown in Fig. 2.5.3 Pipet, or equivalent dispensing device

19、 capable of deliv-ering 1 6 0.05 g of molten wax.5.4 Transfer Pipet, or equivalent volume dispensing device,capable of delivering 15 6 0.06 mL.5.5 Air Pressure Regulator, designed to supply air to thefiltration assembly (8.5) at the volume and pressure required togive an even flow of filtrate. Eithe

20、r the conventional pressure-reducing valve or a mercury bubbler-type regulator has beenfound satisfactory. The latter type, illustrated in Fig. 3, consistsof a 250-mL glass cylinder and a T-tube held in the cylinder bymeans of a rubber stopper grooved at the sides to permit theescape of excess air.

21、The volume and pressure of the airsupplied to the filtration assembly is regulated by the depth towhich the T-tube is immersed in mercury at the bottom of thecylinder. Absorbent cotton placed in the space above themercury prevents the loss of mercury by spattering. The airpressure regulatory is conn

Construct the jets with an insidediameter of 4 6

25、0.2 mm for delivering a stream of clean, dryair vertically downward into the weighing bottle. Support eachjet so that the tip is 15 6 5 mm above the surface of the liquidat the start of the evaporation. Supply purified air at the rate of2 to 3 L/min per jet. One way to purify the air is by passageth

Place an unstopperedweighing bottle, previously weighed together with the glassstopper to the nearest 0.1 mg, under th

29、e delivery nozzle of thefiltration assembly.NOTE 7Take every precaution to ensure the accuracy of the weight ofthe stoppered weighing bottle. Prior to determining this weight, rinse theclean, dry weighing bottle and stopper with methyl ethyl ketone, wipe dryon the outside with a cloth, and place in

30、the evaporation assembly to dryfor about 5 min. Then remove the weighing bottle and stopper, place nearthe balance, and allow to stand for 10 min prior to weighing. Stopper thebottle during this cooling period. Once the weighing bottle and stopperhave been dried in the evaporation assembly, lift onl

Re

32、move the weighing bottleimmediately, and stopper and weigh to at least the nearest10 mg without waiting for it to come to room temperature.Unstopper the weighing bottle and place it under one of the jetsin the evaporation assembly maintained at 35 6 1C (95 62F), with the air jet centered inside the

33、neck, and the tip 15 65 mm above the surface of the liquid. After the solvent hasevaporated, which usually takes less than 30 min, remove thebottle and stopper, and place them near the balance. Allow tostand for 10 min and weigh to the nearest 0.1 mg. Repeat theevaporation procedure, using a 5-min e

TEST METHOD FOR MEASUREMENT OF MAXIMUM PORE DIAMETER OF RIGID POROUS FILTERSX1.1 ScopeX1.1.1 This test method covers the determination of theacceptability

41、of porous filter sticks used for filtration in TestMethod D721. This test method establishes the maximum porediameter and also provides a means of detecting and measuringchanges which occur form continued use.X1.2 DefinitionX1.2.1 maximum pore diameterthe diameter in microm-eters of the largest open

42、ing in the filter.NOTE X1.1It is recognized that the maximum pore diameter asdefined herein does not necessarily indicate the physical dimensions of thelargest pore in the filter. It is further recognized that the pores are highlyirregular in shape. Because of the irregularity in shape and otherphen

43、omena characteristic of filtration, a filter may be expected to retain allparticles larger than the maximum pore diameter as defined and deter-mined herein, and will generally retain particles which are much smallerthan the determined diameter.X1.3 Summary of Test MethodX1.3.1 The filter is cleaned

44、and wetted with water. It is thenimmersed in water and air pressure is applied against its uppersurface until the first bubble of air passes through the filter. Themaximum pore diameter is calculated from the surface tensionof water and the applied pressure.X1.4 ApparatusX1.4.1 Pressure Measuring De

45、vice, mercury-filled manom-eter or equivalent, capable of measuring pressures in incre-ments of 0.5 mm of Hg.X1.4.2 Air Supply, clean and filtered.X1.4.3 Air Pressure Regulator, needle-valve type.X1.4.4 Drying Oven.X1.5 ProcedureX1.5.1 Clean the filter sticks by soaking in concentratedhydrochloric a

46、cid, and then wash them with distilled water.Rinse with acetone, air dry, and place in drying oven at 220F(105C) for 30 min.X1.5.2 Thoroughly wet the clean filter to be tested bysoaking it in distilled water.X1.5.3 Assemble the apparatus as shown in Fig. X1.1.Apply pressure slowly from a source of c

47、lean air.X1.5.4 Immerse the filter just below the surface of thewater.NOTE X1.2If a head of liquid exists above the surface of the filter, theback pressure produced must be deducted from the observed pressure.X1.5.5 Increase the air pressure to about 10 mm Hg (orequivalent pressure value if using di

48、fferent units) below theacceptable pressure limit and then at a slow uniform rateequivalent to about 3 mm Hg/min until the first bubble passesthrough the filter. This can be conveniently observed byplacing the beaker or test tube over a mirror. Read the pressuremeasuring device when the first bubble

49、 passes off the undersideof the filter.X1.6 CalculationX1.6.1 Calculate the pore diameter as follows:D 5 2180/pwhere:D = pore diameter, m, andp = pressure reading, mm Hg.NOTE X1.3From this equation, pressure corresponding to the upperand lower limits of the specified pore diameters can be calculated. Thesepressures may be used for acceptance testing.FIG.
