7、 This Standard:3.1.1 Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)A tech-nique in which the difference in energy inputs into a substanceand a reference material is measured as a function oftemperature, while the substance and a reference material aresubjected to a controlled temperature program. The recor
8、d isthe DSC curve. Two modes, power-compensation DSC andheat-flux DSC, can be distinguished depending on the methodof measurement used. For additional background informationrefer to Practice E472, Terminology E473, and Test MethodE474.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Separate samples of petroleum wax an
9、d a referencematerial or blank (empty 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
10、of energy relativeto the reference, 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 als
11、o monitors energy transfer between waxand 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 de
12、terminingthe temperature limits within 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
13、 properties ofthe solid, that is, hardness 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 120 Fbetween its 5 % and 95 % vo

17、method cannot differen-tiate between solid-liquid and solid-solid transitions. Such informationmust be predetermined by other techniques. 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 hy
18、drocarbons withdifferent molecular weights, 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
19、 the highest tem-perature transition of each wax is the major first-ordertransition, its relative width should correlate with the relativewidth of the waxs molecular weight distribution.6. Interferences6.1 The test specimen must be homogeneous and represen-tative. The small sample size (10 mg) makes
20、 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.6.3 The heating rate must be the specified 10 C min 61 C min. Faster or slower rates will produce a differenttransition temperature and
21、transition peak width.7. Apparatus7.1 Differential Scanning Calorimeter, operating in eitherpower compensation or heat flux mode, capable of heating at10 C min 6 1 C min from 15 C to 150 C. Controlledcooling capability is preferred but not essential. The calorim-eter must be able to record automatic
22、ally the differential signal(WE or WT) versus temperature with a temperature repeatabil-ity of 60.5 C. If the differential record is versus time, thecalorimeter must have the capability to make a simultaneousrecord of temperature versus time.7.2 Sample Pans, of aluminum or other metal of highthermal
23、 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 cooling and free from interfering transi-tions. The specific heat capacity of the reference should be asclose as possible
24、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.9.

Specimen Preparation10.1 To ensure homogeneity, completely melt the entire
27、sample by heating it to 10 C 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 aluminumfoil to form a thin wax film. Separate the wax from the foil, andbreak it into pieces.11. Procedure11.1 Weigh 10 mg 6 1 mg
28、 of the wax pieces into a samplepan, and insert the pan in 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 ad
29、vantageousto 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 ) improves pan contact and establishes the samethermal history for every sample.11.2 Flush the sample compartment of the test

The transition peak apex (TA)islocated by the intersection of the tangents to the peak slopes(Note 7 and Note 8).NOTE 7The extr
35、apolated onset (TO) and end (TE) temperatures arelocated by the intersection of the peak tangents with the base line (see Fig.1). 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 thetran
36、sition 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 indicatedby the temperature-scale calibration.13.
