7、gle-use graphitecrucible, is fused under a flowing carrier gas atmosphere.Hydrogen present in the sample is released as molecularhydrogen into the flowing gas stream. The hydrogen is sepa-rated from other liberated gases such as carbon monoxide andfinally measured in a thermal conductivity cell.4.2

8、Alternately, hydrogen is converted to H2O by passingthe gas stream over heated copper oxide and subsequentlymeasuring in an appropriate IR cell.4.3 This test method is written for use with commercialanalyzers equipped to carry out the above operations automati-cally and is calibrated using reference

Preparation of Apparatus10.1 Assemble the apparatus as recommended by the manu-facturer.10.2 Test the furnace and analyzer to ensure the absence ofgas leaks and make the required electrical power and waterconnections. Prepare th

20、e apparatus for operation in accordancewith the manufacturers instructions. Make a minimum of twodeterminations using a specimen as directed in 13.2 beforeattempting to calibrate the system or to determine the blank.11. Sample Preparation11.1 Use solid form specimens prepared as directed in 11.2.Spe

21、cimens must be of an appropriate size to fit into the graphitecrucible and should not exceed 0.30 g in weight.11.2 Cut the specimen to the approximate size of 0.15 to0.30 g (preferably by shearing). If necessary, abrade specimensurfaces with a clean file to remove contamination. Rinse thesample in a

22、cetone, and air dry. Weigh to 60.001 g. Aftercleaning and weighing, specimens must be handled withtweezers or forceps to prevent contamination.12. Calibration12.1 Calibration Reference MaterialsSelect only titaniumor titanium alloy reference materials (Note 3).NOTE 3Gas dosing: it is satisfactory to

23、 calibrate the unit by dosingknown volume(s) of hydrogen gas into the detection system. If theinstrument has this feature, refer to the manufacturers recommendedprocedure. In this case instrument response must always be verified byanalyzing titanium or titanium alloy reference materials.12.2 Determi

24、nation of Crucible/Tin Blank Reading:12.2.1 If the instrument is equipped with an electronic blankcompensator, adjust to zero, and proceed with the determina-tion of the blank value.12.2.2 Make at least three blank determinations as directedin 13.2 using the weight of tin flux as recommended by thei

25、nstrument manufacturer (Note 4). Use a fresh crucible eachtime.NOTE 4Flux weight is dependent upon the model of the instrumentand the manufacturers instruction. Refer to the manufacturers instruc-tions and recommendations.12.2.3 If the average blank value exceeds 0.0000 60.0001 %, or a standard devi

26、ation for the three consecutivevalues exceeds 60.0001 %, then determine the cause, makenecessary corrections, and repeat 12.2.1 and 12.2.2 (Note 5).NOTE 5Refer to the instrument manufacturers instructions concern-ing the troubleshooting and correction of blank determinations notmeeting the above cri

27、terion.12.2.4 Enter the average blank value in the appropriatemechanism of the analyzer (Note 6), and refer to the manufac-turers instruction. This mechanism will electronically com-pensate for the blank value.NOTE 6If the unit does not have this function, the average blank mustbe subtracted from th

28、e total result (see Note 10).12.3 Calibration Procedure:12.3.1 Prepare at least four 0.15 to 0.30 g specimens of atitanium hydrogen reference material as directed in 11.2 (Note7). This titanium hydrogen reference material should have ahydrogen content greater than or approximately equal to theunknow

29、n samples within the scope of this test method (0.0006to 0.0260 %).NOTE 7The certificate of analysis may specify a minimum mass perspecimen greater than 0.15 to 0.30 g. In that case use the quantity specifiedon the certificate but not to exceed 0.35 g. None of the reference materialrequirements used

30、 in the ILS fell outside of the .15 to 0.30 g range.12.3.2 Follow the calibration procedure recommended bythe manufacturer. Analyze at least three reference materialspecimens to determine the calibration slope. Treat eachspecimen as directed in 13.2 before proceeding to the next one(Note 8).NOTE 8So

31、me instruments have expanded computer capabilities thatallow multi-point calibration which may improve the accuracy andprecision of the calibration over the single-point calibration methodologyas tested in the current interlaboratory study.12.3.3 Confirm the calibration by analyzing the fourthspecim

32、en of the titanium hydrogen reference material (Note 9).The ILS used an acceptance criterion where the value fellwithin the allowable limits of the certified value. An alternateprocedure can be implemented where this value should agreewith the certified value within the limits of a prediction interv

33、alcalculated using Eq 1. The prediction interval is defined as therange of values bounded by the analysis value -p and theanalysis value +p. If the prediction interval does not encompassthe certified value, determine and correct the cause, and repeat12.3.1 and 12.3.2 (Note 10).NOTE 9Confirmation of

34、the calibration does not ensure accuracy. Theaccuracy of this test method is largely dependent upon the absence of biasE1447052in the hydrogen values assigned to the reference materials and upon thehomogeneity of these materials.NOTE 10See the instrument manufacturers instructions concerningthe trou

36、, ands = standard deviation of n replicates in 12.3.2 (Note 11).NOTE 11Here, s should be comparable to Sm, the repeatabilitystandard deviation, given in Table 1.Ifs Sm, there is evidence that therepeatability of the particular instrument is not acceptable for use with thistest method. The user shoul

37、d determine and correct the cause, and repeat12.3.1 through 12.3.3.12.3.4 Confirm calibration linearity by analyzing at leastthree specimens of a mid-range titanium hydrogen referencematerial. Calculate the average and standard deviation(s) ofthese results. In the absence of bias among the reference

38、materials, the average result for this reference material shouldagree with the certified value within a prediction intervaldefined by the repeatability of the measurement system at themid-range of the calibration (Note 12). This prediction intervalmay be calculated using Eq 1 and the s and n values

39、for themid-range reference material. If the prediction interval doesnot encompass the certified value, determine and correct thecause and repeat 12.3.1 and 12.3.4 (Note 13).NOTE 12Typically, repeatability standard deviation is a function ofthe concentration of the analyte. Compare the values labeled

40、 ILS AnalyzedMean in Table 1 with the values for Minimum SD (Sm) to see a typicaltrend for laboratories using this test method. If your results are notcomparable, investigate and correct the cause.NOTE 13The presence of bias between the reference material used in12.3.2 and the reference material use

41、d in 12.3.4 may cause the calibrationto appear to be non-linear. This cannot be corrected by making adjust-ments to the instrument.13. Procedure13.1 Assemble the apparatus and condition it as directed inSection 10.13.2 Procedure for Operation:13.2.1 Set the analyzer to operate mode.13.2.2 Prepare a

42、0.15 to 0.30-g specimen as directed in 11.2.13.2.3 Place a 0.15 to 0.30-g specimen in the loadingdevice. If the instrument does not have this feature, refer to themanufacturers recommended procedure regarding entry ofsample.13.2.4 Enter the sample weight as recommended by themanufacturer.13.2.5 Plac

43、e a crucible containing high-purity tin as mea-sured in 12.2.2 on the furnace electrode/pedestal assembly andclose the furnace.13.2.6 Start the analysis cycle, referring to the manufactur-ers recommended procedure.14. Calculation14.1 The reading will be direct if the blank and weight havebeen entere

44、d correctly into the appropriate portion of theanalyzer (Note 14).NOTE 14If the analyzer does not offer these functions, calculate thehydrogen content by the following method: Dial the sample weight or amultiple of the sample weight on the weight compensator and use thefollowing formula (Eq 2) for t
