Summary of Test Method4.1 The solidification point is measured by noting themaximum temperature reached during a cooling cycle after theappearanc
15、e of a solid phase.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method may be used for process control duringthe manufacture of organic chemicals described in Section 1,for setting specifications, for development and research work,and to determine if contamination was introduced duringshipment.6. Apparatus6
16、.1 Ohmmeter, capable of measuring resistance to the near-est 0.1 ohm in the range of 1000 to 10 000 ohms with directtemperature readout.56.2 Specimen Container, thick walled test tube with 18 mmoutside diameter and 14 mm inside diameter and 150 mm long.6.3 Stirrer, consisting of a 1-mm stainless ste
17、el wire bentinto a circular form at right angles to the shaft so it will movefreely in the annular space between the thermistor and the wallof the test tube.6.4 Stirring Apparatus (Optional)The apparatus illus-trated in Fig. 1 has been demonstrated to be an acceptablereplacement for manual stirring.
18、6.5 Temperature Bath, capable of being controlled at 5 61C below the expected solidification point.6.6 Thermistor, in stainless steel housing with resistancegreater than 2K ohms at 25C. Calibration accuracy 60.01C.Drift in resistance equivalent to less than 60.01C/year.Thermistor shall be calibrated
19、 to cover the range it is used.67. Reagents and Materials7.1 Cooling Media:7.1.1 Water is recommended for solidification points be-tween 4 and 30C.7.2 Drying Agents:7.2.1 3A Molecular Sieve, in the form of a powder orcylindrical granules about 3 mm in diameter.8. Hazards8.1 Consult current OSHA regu
20、lations, suppliers MaterialSafety Data Sheets, and local regulations for all materials usedin this procedure.8.2 Appropriate personal protection equipment such asgloves, safety glasses, a long rubber apron, and a full faceshield should be worn when handling hot or corrosive chemi-cals, or both.8.3 A
21、 fume hood should be used when performing the testmethod on hazardous chemicals (OSHA 1910.1450 definition).9. Sampling and Handling9.1 Sample the material in accordance with PracticesD 3437, D 3438, D 3852, and D 4297.10. Preparation of Apparatus10.1 Fit the sample container with a two-hole stopper
22、.Through one hole insert the thermistor. Through the other holeinsert the shaft of the stirrer. (See Fig. 1).10.2 Set temperature bath at 5 6 1C. below the expectedsolidification point of the sample.11. Calibration of Thermistor11.1 Thermistor should be calibrated by the factory at aminimum every tw
23、o years.11.2 The thermistor may be checked by determining the icepoint of water 0.00C.12. Sample Preparation12.1 Solids at Room TemperatureMelt the entire sampleby heating it to about 10C above its solidification point andswirl it for homogeneity.12.2 Drying SamplesIf required by specifications orag
24、reement with customer.12.2.1 p-Xylene should be dried before testing by placingabout 100 g of the material in a 400 mL Erlenmeyer flask andadding about 50 g of 3A molecular sieve.12.3 Benzene is a special case and should be saturated withwater as follows:12.3.1 Place 7 to 8 mL of the specimen in the
25、 samplecontainer.12.3.2 Add 1 drop of water to the specimen.12.3.3 Shake the sample tube vigorously.13. Procedure13.1 Place 7 to 8 mL of the specimen from step 12.2 or 12.3in the sample container.13.2 Insert the stopper with the thermistor and stirrer intothe sample container and adjust the thermist
26、or so that it is about5 mm from the bottom.13.3 Place the sample container in the constant temperaturebath set at 5 6 1C below the expected solidification point. Inthe case of cyclohexane, the constant temperature bath shouldbe set about 0.3C below the expected solidification point.13.4 Stir the spe
27、cimen continuously and observe the tem-perature readings closely. The temperature will fall to aminimum (super cooling), then rise to a maximum. Record themaximum temperature.13.5 If distinct minimum and maximum points are notevident, the determination shall be repeated. If the temperaturedoes not r
28、ise to a maximum, increase the constant temperaturebath temperature slightly and repeat the solidification pointdetermination. Repeat increasing the temperature until a mini-mum temperature is observed and the temperature then rises toa maximum.5The sole source of supply of the apparatus known to th
