Summary of Test Method4.1 A specimen of known mass is heated at a constanttemperature while its mass is continuously measured as afunction of time. At the end of a pre-determined tim
16、e interval,or when the loss reaches a pre-determined rate, the mass loss ofthe specimen is recorded as a percent of the original mass. Thisvalue is identified as the loss-on-drying (LOD) value. TheLOD value is a function of both temperature and time.Therefore these values must be identified and repo
17、rted. Atypical LOD value is reported as LOD = XX % (60 min at120C). The volatile content, V (g/L), or VOC content, VOC(g/L), may be calculated.NOTE 2For SCAQMD Rule 1144 purposes, at the end of a pre-determined time interval and specified temperature, the mass loss of thespecimen is recorded as a pe
18、rcent of the original mass. Additionally, thedensity and water content of the sample are determined. These values arethen used to calculate the VOC content.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used to estimate the amount ofvolatile materials present in a material.5.2 This test method is us
19、eful for design purposes, serviceevaluation, regulatory statutes, manufacturing control, qualitycontrol, specification acceptance, development, and research.5.3 The results obtained by this test method may be equiva-lent to those obtained by other test methods and may be knownby other terms in their
20、 respective fields. Other tests and termsencountered include loss-on-heating (see Footnote5and TestMethods D6, D2288, and E359); heating loss (see Test MethodD1509); evaporative loss (see Test Method D2595); volatileorganic carbon, moisture, or water (see Test Methods D2216and D3175); volatility (se
21、e Test Method D4893); highlyvolatile matter (see Test Method E897); and volatile content(see Guide D2832).6. Interferences6.1 Because the specimen size is usually small, care must betaken to ensure that each specimen is representative of thesample as a whole.6.2 This test procedure measures total ma
22、ss loss underspecific experimental conditions. If more than one volatilecomponent is present, the results will reflect the total of allthose volatile components present.6.3 If the test temperature is set too high, the resultantweight loss may include some decomposition of the matrixmaterial.6.4 When
23、 calculating VOC content for SCAQMDRule 1144 purposes, it may be necessary to measure andcorrect for water content. Refer to Test Method D4017 todetermine the water content of the specimen.7.

Hazards8.1 Toxic or corrosive effluent, or both, may be releasedwhen heating some m
35、aterials and could be harmful to person-nel and to apparatus.9. Sampling9.1 Samples are usually analyzed on “as received” basis.Should some thermal or mechanical treatment (such as grind-ing or sieving) be applied to the sample prior to analysis, itshall be indicated in the report. Grinding may rele
36、ase volatilesdue to the heating generated by grinding process.9.2 Since small test specimens are used, they must behomogeneous and representative of the sample. The mixing orstirring of samples prior to analysis is recommended wheneverpossible.9.3 If experiments are to be initiated at room temperatu
37、re,equilibrate samples in their sealed containers to room tempera-ture prior to testing.NOTE 6For SCAQMD Rule 1144 purposes, samples containing solidparticles should be filtered prior to analysis.10. Calibration10.1 Calibrate the temperature signal from the apparatusaccording to Practice E1582 using
38、 a heating rate of 1C/minand a transition temperature close to the isothermal testtemperature used in this procedure.10.2 Calibrate the mass signal from the apparatus accordingto Test Method E2040.NOTE 7Regular analysis of performance standards (materials ofknown mass loss characteristics) where ava
39、ilable,6serves as a check oninstrument status, operator efficiency, etc., and provides for a comparisonof results from different laboratories. Verify mass measurement confor-mity to better than 1 %. Verify time measurement conformity to betterthan 1 %.10.3 Calibrate the time signal from the apparatu
40、s accordingto Test Method E1860.NOTE 8For SCAQMD Rule 1144 purposes, calibrate the mass signalevery week, the temperature signal every three months, and the time signalevery six months.11. ProcedureNOTE 9For SCAQMD Rule 1144 purposes, additional proceeduresmay be required by the agency.11.1 Obtain a
41、 suitable baseline correction.11.2 Set the furnace and flow parameters.NOTE 10For SCAQMD Rule 1144 purposes, the total flow must be50 mL/min, divided (balance protection flow:sample purge flow) either10:40 mL/min or 20:30 mL/min.11.3 Cool the specimen test area of the apparatus to ambienttemperature
42、. For the purpose of this test, ambient temperatureis 35C or lower.NOTE 11Cooling of the specimen test area to 25C following anexperiment is time consuming on some apparatus. To improve productiv-ity, it is possible with some test samples to initiate the experiment at asomewhat higher temperature. T
43、his must be done with caution sincevolatility is a function of temperature. For highly volatile materials,appreciable portions of the test specimen mass may be lost in experimentalset up, if initiated at too high of a temperature.NOTE 12For SCAQMD Rule 1144 purposes, initial temperature is25 6 2C.11
44、.4 With the apparatus closed in the normal operatingposition, tare the balance so that the empty sample panindicates zero mass.11.5 Open the apparatus to expose the specimen holder.11.6 Carefully place 10 6 1 mg of the test specimen on thespecimen holder. Other specimen sizes may be used but mustbe
45、indicated in the report.NOTE 13Care should be taken to ensure that the sample is free of airbubbles.NOTE 14For SCAQMD Rule 1144 purposes, specimen size is10 6 1 L, autosamplers are not to be used and the specimen must bedistributed evenly over the bottom of the specimen holder.11.7 Close the apparat
46、us and record the initial mass as mi.Ifthe apparatus has provisions for direct recording of masspercent, adjust it to read 100 %.NOTE 15Should the test specimen have appreciable volatility atambient temperature, it may lose a significant amount of mass as it isplaced into the test position. In such
47、cases, care should be taken to perform11.6 and 11.7 as quickly as is practical.11.8 Heat the test specimen at 5C/min to the isothermal testtemperature, while recording specimen mass (or mass percent),temperature and elapsed time. Other heating rates may be used,but must be indicated in the report.NO
48、TE 16Selection of the optimum operating parameters of isothermaltest temperature and test time (tt) is dependent on the class of materialsbeing tested. The technique of response surface methodology (RSM) maybe useful in predicting optimum operating parameters.7,8Some commonexperimental conditions ar
49、e presented in Tables 1 and 2.NOTE 17For SCAQMD Rule 1144 purposes, heating rate is 25C/minand isothermal test temperature is 81C.11.9 Once the isothermal test temperature is reached, it isheld there for the remainder of the experiment. The time fromstart to the isothermal portion of the experiment is taken as ti.11.10 After 5 min at the isothermal test temperature, thespecimen temperature may be recorded.11.11 The experiment is terminated in one of two ways.These termination criteria are identified as Test Method A andTest Method B.6Perfor
