Hazards7.1 Consult current OSHA regulations, suppliers MaterialSafety Data Sheets, and local regulations for all materials usedin this test method.7.2 WarningMercury has been designated by EPA andmany state agencies

21、as a hazardous material that can causecentral nervous system, kidney, and liver damage. Mercury, orits vapor, may be hazardous to health and corrosive tomaterials. Caution should be taken when handling mercury andmercury-containing products. See the applicable product Ma-terial Safety Data Sheet (MS

22、DS) for details and EPAs website(http:/www.epa.gov/mercury/faq.htm) for additional informa-tion. Users should be aware that selling mercury or mercury-containing products, or both, in your state may be prohibited bystate law.8. Sampling8.1 Sample the material in accordance with PracticeD 3437.9. Pre

23、paration of Apparatus9.1 Fit the benzene container with a two-hole stopper.Through one hole insert the temperature measurement device.The thermometer should be inserted up to the 4.0C mark. Thethermistor should be inserted, so as to contact the benzenesolution. Through the other hole insert the shaf

24、t of the stirrer.9.2 If using the benzene container (air jacketed), place a3.2-mm layer of dry absorbent cotton or glass wool in thebottom of the larger test tube and insert the inner container upto the lip into a stopper or annular ring that just fits into themouth of the air jacket.10. Calibration

25、 of Temperature Measuring Device10.1 Calibration of ASTM thermometer 112C is accom-plished with the small scale etched on the lower portion of thethermometer. Prepare an ice bath by filling a small Dewar flaskwith crushed ice made from Type I or Type II water (asspecified in Specification D 1193) an

26、d add just enough chilledType I or Type II water to make a slurry. Immerse thethermometer in the ice bath, allow 5 min for the system toreach equilibrium and read the thermometer. Solidificationpoint values are subsequently adjusted by adding (or subtract-ing) the number of degrees the thermometer i

27、s below (orabove) 0.00C.10.2 Calibration of the thermistor is performed by thethermistor manufacturer. Resistance is converted to tempera-ture using an equation supplied by the manufacturer.11. Procedure11.1 Saturate the sample of benzene with water as follows:Place 7 to 8 mL of the sample in the be

28、nzene container, add 1drop of water, and shake the tube and contents vigorously.11.2 Place the stopper and stirring apparatus (if any) into thebenzene container.11.3 When using the benzene container (air jacket), theoperator may cool the smaller test tube and contents rapidly toabout 6C in the ice b

29、ath, while stirring. Wipe dry the outsideof the smaller test tube and insert it into the larger test tube.Place the assembled tubes in the ice bath.11.4 Stir the benzene continuously and observe the tempera-ture closely. The temperature will fall to a minimum, then riseto a maximum, remain constant

30、at this maximum for approxi-mately 15 s, and then fall again (Note 1). The minimumtemperature is due to super-cooling before solidification startsand shall not be more than 0.7C below the maximum whenusing a thermometer. Record the maximum constant tempera-ture observed to the nearest 0.01C and desi

31、gnate it as “wet”(Note 1).NOTE 1If distinct minimum and maximum points are not evident, orif the temperature does not remain constant at the maximum for at least15 s, the determination shall be repeated. The thermistor reading shouldremain constant to at least two places to the right of the decimal.

32、12. Report12.1 Results shall be reported on the anhydrous basis. Sincethe determination is actually made on water-saturated benzene,the solidification point shall be corrected to the anhydrous basisby adding 0.09C to the observed maximum temperaturefollowing the minimum. Corrections for accuracy of

33、thethermometer shall be made.13. Precision and Bias513.1 Thermometer PrecisionThe following criteriashould be used to judge the acceptability of results obtained bythis test method when using a thermometer. The criteria weredetermined by measuring the solidification point of a sampletwelve times at

34、one laboratory using a thermometer. The resultsof the intralaboratory study were calculated and analyzed usingPractice E 691. Duplicate results in the same laboratory shouldnot be considered suspect unless they differ by more than0.04C.13.2 Thermistor PrecisionThe following criteria shouldbe used to

35、 judge the acceptability (95 % probability level) ofresults obtained by this test method when using a thermistor.The criteria were derived from an interlaboratory study be-tween six laboratories. Three different samples were analyzedin triplicate on two different days using a thermistor and a thickw

36、alled glass test tube. The results of the intralaboratory studywere calculated and analyzed using Practice E 691.13.2.1 Intermediate PrecisionResults in the same labora-tory should not be considered suspect unless they differ morethan 0.04C. On the basis of test error alone, the differencebetween tw

37、o results obtained in the same laboratory on thesame material will be expected to exceed this value only 5 %of the time.13.2.2 ReproducibilityResults submitted by each of twolaboratories should not be considered suspect unless they differby more than 0.05C. On the basis of test error alone, thediffe

38、rence between two test results obtained in different labo-ratories on the same material will be expected to exceed thisvalue only 5 % of the time.13.3 BiasSince there is no accepted reference materialsuitable for determining the bias for the procedure, bias has notbeen determined.5Supporting data ha
