5、orous Filters for Laboratory Use3. Summary of Test Method3.1 The sample is dissolved in a mixture consisting of 50 % by volume methyl ethyl ketone and 50 % by volume toluene. Thesolution is cooled to 32 C (25 F) to precipitate the wax, then filtered. The solvent extractables content is determined by
6、evaporating the solvent from the filtrate and determining the mass of the residue.4. Significance and Use4.1 The solvent extractables in a wax may have significant effects on several of its properties such as strength, hardness,flexibility, scuff resistance, coefficient of friction, coefficient of e
7、xpansion, melting point, and staining characteristics. Whetherthese effects are desirable or undesirable depends on the intended use of the wax.5. Apparatus5.1 Filter Stick and Assembly, consisting of a 10 mm diameter sintered glass filter stick of 10 m to 15 m maximum porediameter as determined by
8、the method in Appendix X1, provided with an air pressure inlet tube and delivery nozzle. It is providedwith a ground-glass joint to fit a 25 mm by 170 mm test tube. The dimensions for a suitable filtration assembly are shown in Fig.1.NOTE 1A metallic filter stick may be employed if desired. A filter
9、 stick3 made of stainless steel and having a 12.7 mm (0.50 in.) disk of 10 nm to15 nm maximum pore diameter, as determined by Test Method E128, has been found to be satisfactory.

(USPC), Rockville, MD.All dimensions are in millimetres (inches).FIG. 2 Cooling BathD3235 16136.3 Solvent MixturePrepare a mixture of 50 % by volume methyl ethyl ketone and 50 % by volume toluene.6.4 Store the solvent mixture over a suitable drying agent, such as anhydrous calcium
31、 sulfate (five mass percent of the solvent).Filter prior to use.7. Sample7.1 Obtain a representative portion by melting the entire sample and stirring thoroughly. This is necessary because theextractables may not be distributed uniformly throughout the solidified sample.8. Procedure8.1 Melt a repres
32、entative portion of the sample, using a water bath or oven maintained at 70 C to 100 C (158 F to 212 F).As soon as the wax is completely melted, thoroughly mix. Preheat the pipet or equivalent measuring device in order to preventthe solidification of wax in the tip, and withdraw a portion of the sam
33、ple as soon as possible after the wax has melted. The massof wax transferred to the test tube must be 1.00 g60.05 g.Allow the test tube to cool, and determine the mass to at least the nearest1 mg.NOTE 3The mass of a test tube which is cleaned by means of solvent will not vary to a significant extent
34、. Therefore, a tare mass may be obtainedand used repeatedly.8.2 Pipet 15 mL of the solvent mixture into the test tube and place the latter just up to the level of its contents in a hot wateror steam bath. Heat the solvent-wax mixture, stirring up and down with the wire stirrer, until a homogeneous s
35、olution is obtained.Exercise care to avoid loss of solvent by prolonged boiling.NOTE 4Very high-melting wax samples may not form clear solutions. Stir until the undissolved material is well dispersed as a fine cloud.8.2.1 Plunge the test tube into an 800 mL beaker of ice water and continue to stir u
36、ntil the contents are cold. Remove the stirrer.Remove the test tube from the ice bath, wipe dry on the outside with a cloth, and determine the mass to at least the nearest 0.1 g.NOTE 5During this operation the loss of solvent through vaporization should be less than 1 %. The mass of the solvent is,
37、therefore, practically aconstant, and after the masses of a few samples are determined, this mass can be used as a constant factor.8.3 Place the test tube containing the wax-solvent slurry in the cooling bath, which is maintained at 34.5 C61.0 C (30.0 F6 2.0 F). During this chilling operation, stir
38、the contents of the tube by means of a temperature measurement device placed inthe tube. It is important that stirring by means of the temperature measurement device be almost continuous, in order to maintaina slurry of uniform consistency as the wax precipitates. Do not allow the wax to set up on t
39、he walls of the cooling vessel nor permitany lumps of wax crystals to form. Continue stirring until the temperature reaches 31.7 C 6 0.3 C (25.0 F 6 0.5 F).8.4 Remove the temperature measurement device from the tube and allow it to drain momentarily into the tube, thenimmediately immerse in the mixt
40、ure the clean, dry filter stick, which has previously been cooled by placing it in a test tube andholding at 34.5 C 6 1.0 C (30.0 F 6 2.0 F) in the cooling bath for a minimum of 10 min. Seat the ground-glass joint of thefilter so as to make an airtight seal. Place an unstoppered weighing bottle, the
41、 mass of which was previously determined, togetherwith the glass stopper to the nearest 0.1 mg, under the delivery nozzle of the filtration assembly.All dimensions are in millimetres.FIG. 3 Air Pressure RegulatorD3235 1614NOTE 6Take every precaution to ensure the accuracy of the mass of the stoppere
42、d weighing bottle. Prior to determining this mass, rinse the clean,dry weighing bottle and stopper with the solvent mixture described in 6.3, wipe dry on the outside with a cloth, and place in the evaporation assemblyto dry for about 5 min. Then remove the weighing bottle and stopper, place near the
43、 balance, and allow to stand for 10 min prior to determining the mass.Stopper the bottle during this cooling period. Once the weighing bottle and stopper have been dried in the evaporation assembly, lift only with forceps.Take care to remove and replace the glass stopper with a light touch.8.5 Apply
44、 air pressure to the filtration assembly and immediately collect about 4 mL of filtrate in the weighing bottle. Releasethe air pressure to permit the liquid to drain back slowly from the delivery nozzle. Remove the weighing bottle immediately, andstopper and determine the mass to at least the neares
45、t 10 mg without waiting for it to come to room temperature. Unstopper theweighing bottle and place it under one of the jets in the evaporation assembly maintained at 35 C 6 1 C (95 F 6 2 F), withthe air jet centered inside the neck, and the tip 15 mm 6 5 mm above the surface of the liquid. After the
46、 solvent has evaporated,which usually takes less than 30 min, remove the bottle, stopper, and place near the balance. Allow to stand for 10 min anddetermine the mass to the nearest 0.1 mg. Repeat the evaporation procedure, using 5 min evaporation periods, until the lossbetween successive determinati
47、ons is not over 0.2 mg.All dimensions are in millimetres (inches).FIG. 4 Evaporation AssemblyD3235 16159. Calculation9.1 Calculate the amount of extractables in the wax as follows:Solvent extractables,percent by mass5100 AC/BD (1)where:A = mass of extractables residue, g,B = mass of wax sample, g,C

Repor
49、t10.1 Report the result as solvent extractables, Test Method D3235, to the nearest 0.1 % by mass. If the result is negative, reportas zero.11. Precision and Bias11.1 The precision of this test method as determined by statistical examination of interlaboratory results is as follows:11.1.1 RepeatabilityThe difference between two test results, obtained by the same operator with the same apparatus underconstant operating conditions on identical test material would, in the long run, in the normal and correct operation
