7、 (DSC)A tech-nique in which the difference in energy inputs into a substanceand a reference material is measured as a function of tempera-ture, while the substance and a reference material are subjectedto a controlled temperature program. The record is the DSCcurve. Two modes, power-compensation DSC
8、 and heat-fluxDSC, can be distinguished depending on the method ofmeasurement used. For additional background informationrefer to Practice E 472, Terminology E 473, and Test MethodE 474.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Separate samples of petroleum wax and a referencematerial or blank (empty sample cont
9、ainer) are heated at acontrolled rate in an inert atmosphere. A sensor continuouslymonitors the difference in heat flow to the two samples. TheDSC curve is a record of this difference versus temperature. Atransition in the wax involves the absorption of energy relativeto the reference, resulting in
10、an endothermic peak in the DSCcurve. While the transition occurs over the temperature rangespanned by the base of the peak, the temperature associatedwith the peak apex is designated the nominal transitiontemperature (Note 1).NOTE 1Test Method D87also monitors energy transfer between waxand a standa
11、rd environment. The highest temperature DSC transition maydiffer from the melting point because the two methods approach thesolid/liquid phase transition from different directions.5. Significance and Use5.1 DSC in a convenient and rapid method for determiningthe temperature limits within which a wax
12、 undergoes duringtransitions. The highest temperature transition is a solid-liquidtransition associated with complete melting; it can guide thechoice of wax storage and application temperatures. Thesolid-solid temperature transition is related to the properties ofthe solid, that is, hardness and blo
13、cking temperature.NOTE 2For a relatively narrow cut petroleum wax, the lowesttransition will be a solid-solid transition.Anarrow cut wax is one obtainedby deoiling a single petroleum distillate with a maximum range of 120Fbetween its 5 % and 95 % vol in accordance with Test Method D 1160boiling poin
14、ts (converted to 760 torr). The DSC method cannot differen-tiate between solid-liquid and solid-solid transitions.

In the case of blends, thelo
17、wer temperature transition may be envelopes of both solid-liquid andsolid-solid transitions.5.2 Since petroleum wax is a mixture of hydrocarbons withdifferent molecular weights, its transitions occur over a tem-perature range. This range is one factor that influences thewidth, expressed in C, of the
18、 DSC peaks. The highesttemperature transition is a first-order transition. If, for a seriesof waxes, there is supporting evidence that the highest tem-perature transition of each wax is the major first-order transi-tion, its relative width should correlate with the relative widthof the waxs molecula
19、r weight distribution.6. Interferences6.1 The test specimen must be homogeneous and represen-tative. The small sample size (10 mg) makes these require-ments particularly important.6.2 Intimate thermal contact, sample-to-pan and pan-to-sensor, is essential to obtain accurate and reproducible results.
20、6.3 The heating rate must be the specified 10 6 1C/min.Faster or slower rates will produce a different transitiontemperature and transition peak width.7. Apparatus7.1 Differential Scanning Calorimeter, operating in eitherpower compensation or heat flux mode, capable of heating at10 6 1C/min from 15C
21、 to 150C. Controlled coolingcapability is preferred but not essential. The calorimeter mustbe able to record automatically the differential signal (WE orWT) versus temperature with a temperature repeatability of60.5C. If the differential record is versus time, the calorim-eter must have the capabili
22、ty to make a simultaneous record oftemperature versus time.7.2 Sample Pans, of aluminum or other metal of highthermal conductivity, excluding copper and its alloys.7.3 Reference MaterialGlass beads, alumina powder, sili-con carbide, or any material known to be unaffected byrepeated heating and cooli
23、ng and free from interfering transi-tions. The specific heat capacity of the reference should be asclose as possible to that of the test material.7.4 Recorder, capable of recording heat flow versus tem-perature.8. Reagent8.1 Nitrogen, or other dry inert gas supply for flushing thesample compartment.
24、9. Calibration9.1 Using the instrument manufacturers recommended pro-cedure, calibrate the instruments temperature scale over thetemperature range of interest with appropriate standards.

26、, except that the precycle (11.3)isomitted.10. Specimen Preparation10.1 To ensure homogeneity, completely melt the entiresample by heating it to 10C above the temperature at whichthe wax is completely molten. Using a clean eyedropper,transfer a few drops to the surface of a clean sheet of aluminumfo
27、il to form a thin wax film. Separate the wax from the foil, andbreak it into pieces.11. Procedure11.1 Weigh 10 6 1 mg of the wax pieces into a sample pan,and insert the pan in the calorimeter sample compartment.NOTE 3Intimate thermal contact, sample-to-pan and pan-to-sensor, isessential. Ensure that
28、 pan bottoms are flat and also that sensor surfaceswhere pans rest are clean. If the equipment is available, it is advantageousto ensure maximum sample-to-pan thermal contact by crimping a metalcover against the pan with the sample sandwiched in between. A thermalprecycle (see section 10.3 ) improve
29、s pan contact and establishes the samethermal history for every sample.11.2 Flush the sample compartment of the test cell with inertgas throughout the test; a flow of 10 to 50 mL/min is typical.11.3 Perform a thermal precycle (Note 3). Heat the test cellat 10 6 1C/min to 20 6 5C beyond the end of me
30、lting,beyond the return to the base line (Note 4 and Note 5). Thencool the test cell to 15 6 5C at 10 6 1C/min. Hold the testcell at 15C for 30 s.NOTE 4During the precycle heating scan, note the height of the firstthermo transition peak, and adjust instrument sensitivity so it is 50 to 95 %of full s
31、cale.NOTE 5The exposure of the sample to high temperatures should beminimized to prevent decomposition. Hold the maximum temperatureonly for the time required to prepare for cooling.11.4 Perform and record the thermal scan of record. Heatthe test cell at 10 6 1C/min to 20 6 5C beyond the end ofmelti
32、ng (Note 6). Record the DSC curve using a heating rate of10 6 1C/min from 15C to 20 6 5C beyond the end ofmelting.NOTE 6A cooling (solidification) scan is also possible, but thetransition peak apex will be several degrees Celsius lower than thatobtained using a heating scan.12. Calculation12.1 Sever
33、al transitions may be present. Number themconsecutively in order of appearance. Draw tangents to eachtransition peak (see Fig. 1). The transition peak apex (TA)islocated by the intersection of the tangents to the peak slopes(Note 7 and Note 8).NOTE 7The extrapolated onset (TO) and end (TE) temperatu
34、res arelocated by the intersection of the peak tangents with the base line (see Fig.4The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the end ofthis test method.D 4419 90 (2005)21). The difference between the onset and end temperatures of eachtransition peak is a measure of pea
35、k width.NOTE 8Some microcrystalline waxes may exhibit shoulders on thetransition peaks. If this occurs, exclude the shoulder in drawing in theextrapolated onset (TO) and end (TE) temperatures.12.2 Read the temperature associated with each transitionpeak apex from the curve, and apply any correction
36、indicatedby the temperature-scale calibration.13. Report13.1 Report the corrected apex and end temperatures foreach of the transition peaks to the nearest 0.5C in order ofoccurrence.
