7、ning Calorimetry (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-
8、compensation DSC and heat-fluxDSC, can be distinguished depending on the method ofmeasurement used. For additional background informationrefer to Practice E472, Terminology E473, and Test MethodE474.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Separate samples of petroleum wax and a referencematerial or blank (empt
9、y sample container) 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,
10、resulting in 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 D87 also monitors energy transfer between w
11、axand a standard 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 with
12、in which a wax 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, ha
13、rdness and blocking 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 D116
14、0boiling points (converted to 760 torr). The DSC method cannot differen-tiate between solid-liquid and solid-solid transitions.

In the case of blends, thelower temperature transition may be envelopes of both solid-liquid andsolid-solid transitions.5.2 Since petroleum wax is a mixture of hydrocarbons withdifferent molecular weight
18、s, its transitions occur over a tem-perature range. This range is one factor that influences thewidth, expressed in C, of the 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 e
19、ach wax is the major first-order transi-tion, its relative width should correlate with the relative widthof the waxs molecular 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 impor
20、tant.6.2 Intimate thermal contact, sample-to-pan and pan-to-sensor, is essential to obtain accurate and reproducible results.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 Differen
21、tial Scanning Calorimeter, operating in eitherpower compensation or heat flux mode, capable of heating at10 6 1C/min from 15C to 150C. Controlled coolingcapability is preferred but not essential. The calorimeter mustbe able to record automatically the differential signal (WE orWT) versus temperature
22、 with a temperature repeatability of60.5C. If the differential record is versus time, the calorim-eter must have the capability 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 Referen
23、ce MaterialGlass beads, alumina powder, sili-con carbide, or any material known to be unaffected byrepeated heating and cooling 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 reco

Specimen Preparation10.1 To ensure homogeneity, completely melt the entiresample by heating it to 10C above the temperature at wh
27、ichthe wax is completely molten. Using a clean eyedropper,transfer a few drops to the surface of a clean sheet of aluminumfoil 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
28、the calorimeter sample compartment.NOTE 3Intimate thermal contact, sample-to-pan and pan-to-sensor, isessential. Ensure that 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 b
29、y crimping a metalcover against the pan with the sample sandwiched in between. A thermalprecycle (see section 10.3 ) improves 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
30、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 melting,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 heat
31、ing scan, note the height of the firstthermo transition peak, and adjust instrument sensitivity so it is 50 to 95 %of full scale.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 co
32、oling.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 ofmelting (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 th
33、etransition peak apex will be several degrees Celsius lower than thatobtained using a heating scan.12. Calculation12.1 Several 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
34、 intersection of the tangents to the peak slopes(Note 7 and Note 8).NOTE 7The extrapolated onset (TO) and end (TE) temperatures 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
35、method.D4419 90 (2010)21). The difference between the onset and end temperatures of eachtransition peak is a measure of peak 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
36、) temperatures.12.2 Read the temperature associated with each transitionpeak apex from the curve, and apply any correction indicatedby the temperature-scale calibration.13.
