Summary of Test Method3.1 The viscosity of a pitch, over the temperature range ofabout 40 to 100C above the SP of the material, is determinedusing

7、 a rotational viscometer.3.2 The recommended specifications herein are for measur-ing the apparent shear viscosity of binder pitches via aconcentric cylinder viscometer. Apparent shear viscosity is theratio of shear stress to shear rate in a unidirectional simpleshear flow field at steady state cond

8、itions. A concentriccylinder viscometer is useful for measuring the apparent shearviscosity, provided the sample temperature is adequately con-trolled, the “end-effects” are negligible, and the gap betweenrotor/cup is small and remains constant during the test. Theextrapolated value of apparent shea

9、r viscosity at “zero” shearrate is called shear viscosity.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method is useful as one element in establishingthe uniformity of shipments.4.2 Viscosity is also valuable for rheological characteriza-tion of binder pitches. Binder pitch imparts consistency tocarbonaceou

10、s mixes and affects their resistance to deformation.Binder pitch viscosity is important for assessing mix consis-tency and for evaluating the ease of mix extrusion or moldinginto artifacts.5. Apparatus5.1 ViscometerArotational viscometer capable of measur-ing viscosity in the range of about 5 to 15

11、000 cps; theviscometer should be equipped with the appropriate accesso-ries to allow measurements up to about 230C. Two viscom-eters meeting these requirements are the LVT, LVF,3orequivalent, and the RV100, RV20,4or equivalent.5.2 Sample Temperature Control System Any device ca-pable of maintaining

12、the sample test temperature within limitsof 61.0C while allowing viscosity measurements. Examplesare the Thermosel System3and the TP 245with heater.5.3 ThermometerASTM precision thermometer 2C, hav-ing a range of 5 to 300C.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum

18、djustable temperaturecontrol and surface temperature indication (to prevent sampleoverheating).5.5 Calibration Fluids6A series of calibrated fluids thatcover the viscosity range of approximately 100 to 15 000 cps attemperatures up to 150C.6. Reagents and Materials6.1 Cleaning SolventAny solvent capa

19、ble of dissolvingpitch, (suitable solvents are quinoline or creosote oils).6.2 Rinsing SolventsToluene and acetone are used forfinal rinsing after initial cleaning.7. Safety Hazards7.1 Fumes of hot pitch or solvents, or both, should beremoved from all working areas by means of proper hoods.Theworkin

20、g area should be kept free of sparks and flames.Quinoline fumes should not be inhaled, and prolonged contactwith skin should be avoided. Toluene is toxic and flammable.8. Bulk Sampling8.1 Take samples from shipments in accordance with Prac-tice D 4296. Samples shall be free of foreign substances.Tho

21、roughly mix the sample immediately before removing arepresentative portion for the determination or for dehydration.9. Sample Preparation9.1 Ensure sample is dry; if there is visible moisture,dehydrate at 50C in a forced-air or vacuum oven until dry, butno longer than 2 h. (Experience has shown that

22、 drying attemperatures in excess of 50C increases the SP and viscosityof the pitch.)9.2 Crush dry lumps of pitch to a size of 6 to 12 mm.10. Charging Sample Cup10.1 In a suitable container, or the sample cup, melt pitchwith occasional stirring. Overheating of sample must beavoided as loss of volatil

23、es may affect viscosity. (Maximumtemperature should not exceed 50C above SP. As a guide, thesurface temperature of the hot plate surface should not exceed200C.)10.2 Place rotor in cup and preheat both to approximatelythe first test temperature.10.3 Remove rotor and transfer required amount of pitch

24、tothe level specified by the manufacturer.10.4 Re-insert rotor, check that rotor is immersed to speci-fied depth, and install insulating cover.11. Viscometer Calibration11.1 This step, required only occasionally, is designed toestablish that the temperature and viscosity indicated by theappropriate

25、measuring devices are in agreement with knownstandards.11.2 Equipment is to be properly leveled and installed inaccordance with manufacturers instructions.11.3 Use the ASTM thermometer (applying the appropriatestem correction) to correlate pitch temperature (in cup) totemperature controller/indicato

26、r.Test temperature is consideredto be the actual pitch temperature and not the temperatureindicated on the controller.11.4 Calibrate viscometer using calibration fluids.11.4.1 Use high- and low-temperature fluids; see 5.5.11.4.2 Calibrate each rotor/cup combination and use themas a paired set.12. Pr

27、ocedure for Viscosity Determination12.1 The following general principles apply to all viscositymeasurements determined by rotational methods:12.1.1 Maximize rotor diameter.12.1.2 Minimize gap width between rotor and cup.12.1.3 Minimize end effects (use longest available rotor).12.1.4 Prevent viscous

28、 heating (due to prolonged rotation ofrotor at high rpm).12.2 Select the proper rotor/cup combination that covers theanticipated viscosity range. A typical viscosity-temperaturecurve for various coal-tar pitches is given in Fig. 1, and atypical spindle number and rpm relationship for a LV seriesBroo

29、kfield viscometer4is given in Table 1. If there is overlapin rotor/cup selection, select the combination that best meetsthe criteria set forth in 12.1.1 to 12.1.4.12.3 Determine viscosity from the lowest to the highest testtemperatures.12.4 Turn rotor at low rpm during heat-up (after sample ismelted

30、) and when changing test temperatures.12.5 Stabilize temperature for a minimum of 5 min but notmore than 15 min before measuring viscosity.12.6 Determine viscosity following manufacturers proce-dure. Ensure that the scale reading has stabilized beforerecording the value; only record values that are

31、between 10 and90 % of the maximum scale reading.12.7 Increase temperature controller to next higher testtemperature and repeat 12.4 through 12.7.12.8 Record test temperature and corresponding scale read-ings and convert scale readings to viscosity using appropriatefactors supplied by manufacturer or

32、 determined by calibration.12.9 Pitch is generally regarded as a Newtonian liquid (theviscosity is independent of shear rate (rotational velocity orrpm). To ensure that the pitch sample is in fact Newtonian,determine the viscosity at different rpm at a given temperature.If viscosities at different r

33、pm are different (at same tempera-ture), but are within 10 % of the average of the readings, reportthe average value. If the viscosities, at different rpm but thesame temperature, differ by more than 10 % from the average,the material is non-Newtonian and the viscosity for each shearrate (rpm) shoul

34、d be reported.5The sole source of supply of the apparatus known to the committee at this timeis the Hot plate Model 11-496-3 with 11-496-4 dial thermometer, available fromFisher Scientific, 585 Alpha Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15238.

Your comments will receive careful consider-ation at a meeting of the responsible technical committee1, which you may attend.D 5018 89 (2004)212.10 Occasionally, the p

37、itch volume in the cup can de-crease when heated to higher temperatures due to loss ofmoisture or entrapped air. Consequently, the rotor will not becompletely immersed in pitch and the viscosity at highertemperatures will be lower than the true value. Also, theviscosity at lower temperatures will be

38、 inaccurate due tofoaming. To ensure that this did not occur, check the level inthe cup after the test is completed and the temperature is about150C. If the rotor is not completely immersed, repeat the testtaking care to expel any moisture or entrapped air prior tocharging the cup. Moisture can be e

39、liminated by drying at50C, see 9.1. Entrapped air can be removed by carefullymelting the pitch and stirring gently until no foaming isobserved; avoid overheating the pitch, see 10.1. Also, en-trapped air can be minimized by avoiding the use of fine pitchparticles; use 6 3 12-mm sized particles, see

40、9.2.13. Cleaning13.1 After completion of test, cool to about 40C above SP,remove rotor and place rotor into a container of quinoline orother high-boiling aromatic solvent (in hood), or wipe rotorusing toluene or quinoline.13.2 Remove cup and pour out pitch; clean with quinoline,or other appropriate

41、solvent, and toluene.13.3 After the cup and rotor are clean and cool, rinse bothwith acetone to remove any oil residue.14. Report14.1 Report viscosity, for each test temperature, to thenearest centipoise.14.2 The data can be reported in simple tabular form orplotted on suitable graph paper. (Usually

42、 a plot of log viscosityversus 1/T (Celsius) gives a straight-line relationship.)15. Precision and Bias15.1 The precision was determined by an interlaboratorystudy conducted in accordance with Practice E 691. Fourteenlaboratories tested four materials (three coal-tar pitches andone petroleum pitch)

43、in the temperature range of 150 to 210C(150 to 230C for the petroleum pitch); the viscosities rangedfrom 12 000 to 50 cps. Based on this study, the criteria in15.1.1 and 15.1.2 shall be used for judging the acceptability ofresults (95 % probability) obtained in the aforementionedtemperature ranges a

44、nd in the viscosity range of 50 to 12 000cps:15.1.1 Repeatability LimitsDuplicate values (cps) by thesame operator shall not be considered suspect unless thedetermined viscosities, at a given temperature, differ by morethan 12 % of the average of the duplicate determinations.15.1.2 Reproducibility L

45、imitsThe values reported by eachof two laboratories, representing the arithmetic average ofduplicate determinations at a given temperature, shall not beconsidered suspect unless the reported values (cps) differ bymore than 36 % of the average of the four values.15.2 BiasThis test method has no bias
