8、 Sieve Cloth and Test Sieves3. Summary of Test Method3.1 A sample of carbon black is mechanically flushed with water through a wire-mesh screen of a specified size until all thatremains is a non-dispersible matter of carbon black. The non-dispersible matter is dried, weighed, and the amount of resid

9、ue isexpressed as mg/kg (ppm) of the original sample.4. Significance and Use4.1 The quantity of non-dispersible matter of carbon black is important in some molded or extruded products as it may relateto the surface appearance of those products. The maximum amount of non dispersible matter and the mi

10、nimum size of the particlesto be analyzed in each application is normally determined and agreed to between the user and the producer.1 This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D24 on Carbon Black and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D24.31 on Non-Carbon BlackComponent

26、Precision and Bias11.1 Precision and bias These precision statements have not been generated.been prepared in accordance with PracticeD4483-99. Refer to this practice for terminology and other statistical details.11.2 A type 1 inter-laboratory precision program was conducted using two different siev

27、es: 45 m (No. 325 sieve) and 125 m(No. 120 sieve). In each laboratory two single tests were performed on each of two different days (total of four tests). A test resultis the value obtained from a single determination. Both repeatability and reproducibility represent short-term (daily) testingcondit

28、ions. Acceptable difference values were not measured.11.3 The precision results in this precision and bias section give an estimate of the precision of this test method with thematerials used in the particular interlaboratory program described below. The precision parameters should not be used forac

29、ceptance or rejection testing of any group of materials without documentation that they are applicable to those particularmaterials and the specific testing protocols of the test method. Any appropriate value may be used from Table 1 and Table 2.11.4 The results of the precision calculations for thi

30、s test are given in Table 1 and Table 2. In each of these tables the materialsare arranged in descending “mean level” order. The preferred precision is shown in bold text.11.5 RepeatabilityThe pooled relative repeatability, (r), of this test has been established as 33.9 % for the 45 m sieve (SieveNo

31、. 325) and as 100.4 % for the 125 m sieve (Sieve No. 120).Any other value in Table 1 and Table 2 may be used as an estimateof repeatability, as appropriate. The difference between two single test results (or determinations) found on identical test materialunder the repeatability conditions prescribe

32、d for this test will exceed the repeatability on an average of not more than once in 20TABLE 1 Precision Parameters for D7724, Carbon Black Non-Dispersible Material by Mechanical Flushing (NDM), (Type 1 Precision),45 m (Sieve No. 325)AUnits mg/kg (ppm)Material PeriodNumber ofLaboratories(M/H/L)BMean

36、yThe pooled relative reproducibility, (R), of this test has been established as 64.7 % or the 45 m sieve(Sieve No. 325) and as 171.4 % for the 125 m sieve (Sieve No. 120). Any other value in Table 1 and Table 2 may be used asan estimate of reproducibility, as appropriate. The difference between two

37、single and independent test results found by twooperators working under the prescribed reproducibility conditions in different laboratories on identical test material will exceed thereproducibility on an average of not more than once in 20 cases in the normal and correct operation of the method. Two

39、alue and a reference value. However, for this test method, bias has not beendetermined.12. Keywords12.1 carbon black; non-dispersible matterAPPENDIX(Nonmandatory Information)X1. DRY CLASSIFICATION OF NON-DISPERSIBLE MATTERX1.1 IntroductionX1.1.1 As mentioned in 5.5 the sieve size to be used for the

40、determination of non-dispersible matter (NDM) shall be agreed uponbetween the purchaser and the carbon black manufacturer.X1.1.2 In some cases it can be of interest to determine NDM using more than one sieve size, for example, with a 45 m sieve(Sieve No. 325) and with a 125 m sieve (Sieve No. 120).

41、In principle this requires two independent tests with the specified sieves.X1.1.3 As an alternative, the dried residue from the determination with the finer sieve (here: 45 m) can be classified through acoarser sieve (here: 125 m) in order to obtain test results for NDM for two sieve sizes. The adva

42、ntage of such approach is thatit saves one additional NDM wet sieving test and it reduces the sample quantity required.X1.2 ApparatusX1.2.1 Sieves, of either phosphor bronze or stainless steel.
