Summary of Test Method4.1 The pressure (vacuum) signal generated by a thermal analyzer is compared to a gage whose performance is known andtraceab

17、le to a national metrology institute. The thermal analyzer may be said to be in conformance if the performance is withinestablished limits. Alternately, the pressure signal may be calibrated using a two-point calibration method.5. Significance and Use5.1 Most thermal analysis experiments are conduct

18、ed under ambient pressure conditions using isothermal or temperature timerate of change conditions where time or temperature is the independent parameter. Some experiments, however, are conductedunder reduced or elevated pressure conditions where pressure is an independent experimental parameter (Te

19、st Method E537).Oxidation Induction Times (Test Methods D5483, D5885, D6186, and E1858), Oxidation Onset Temperature (Test MethodE2009), and the Vapor Pressure (Test Method E1782) are other examples of experiments conducted under elevated or reducedpressure (vacuum) conditions. Since in these cases

20、pressure is an independent variable, the measurement system for this parametershall be calibrated to ensure interlaboratory reproducibility.5.2 The dependence of experimental results on pressure is usually logarithmic rather than linear.6. Apparatus6.1 Reference pressure gage with a range 1.2 times

21、the maximum value to be calibrated readable to within 0.1 % of the fullrange and performance of which has been verified using standards and procedures traceable to a national metrology institute (suchas the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).NOTE 1To ensure an accurate pressure me

22、asurement, the reference pressure gage shall be placed as close as practical to the thermal analysis apparatusto be calibrated and connected to the thermal analysis apparatus with large diameter tubing such as 6.3 mm or larger especially for vacuum testing. Ensurethat there is no gas flow in the con

23、nection (for example, due to leaking) to provide a static pressure measurement.NOTE 2Additional information on pressure gages may be found in Practice D5720.6.2 A source of pressurized inert gas, typically nitrogen, with a pressure regulator, capable of adjusting the pressure suppliedto the apparatu

24、s from zero to 100 % of the gage pressure range to be calibrated, commonly 7 MPa.NOTE 3Since the calibration is performed under static flow conditions, the pressurizing gas delivery system to the thermal analysis apparatus shouldbe of small diameter (such as 1.6 mm diameter tubing) for safety consid

25、erations.NOTE 4Do not use a reactive gas such as oxygen unless all apparatus, tubing and test gage have been cleaned and are rated for oxygen service.6.3 The thermal analysis apparatus for which the pressure calibration is to be performed.6.4 Barometer capable of measuring atmospheric pressure reada

26、ble to 60.01 kPa (0.1 mm Hg).7. Hazards7.1 This test poses risks associated with high pressure operation. The thermal analysis apparatus, connecting tubing andmeasurement gages shall be designed to contain pressures in excess of two times the maximum allowable working pressure.Pressure relief shall

27、be provided at pressures no greater than 1.2 times the maximum allowable working pressure.8. Preparation of Apparatus8.1 Assemble the apparatus so that the calibration pressure gage is connected in parallel with the pressure transducer of theapparatus. That is, the instrument transducer and the cali

28、bration gage shall see the same static pressure (see Fig. 1). Equilibratethe thermal analysis apparatus pressure container, reference pressure gage and instrument transducer at ambient temperature.E2744 1629. Calibration9.1 Perform any pressure signal calibration procedures recommended by the manufa

29、cturer of the thermal analyzer as describedin the Operators Manual.10. Procedure10.1 Electronic pressure signals associated with thermal analysis apparatus measure gage pressure relative to atmosphericpressure. However, absolute pressure is most often required for thermal analysis experiments.Absolu

30、te pressure is the sum of gagepressure and atmospheric pressure. So knowledge of atmospheric pressure is required to obtain absolute pressure.10.2 Using a laboratory barometer, measure and record the atmospheric pressure (Patm) within one hour of the pressurecalibration in steps 10.4 10.6.NOTE 5Shou

31、ld a laboratory barometer be unavailable, local pressure may often be obtained by contacting the local weather service. This approachis not suitable for laboratories operating under negative gage pressure.10.3 Assemble the instrument to be calibrated, the reference pressure gage and the source of th

32、e pressurized gas according toschematic Fig. 1.10.4 With the thermal analysis exhaust valve open to atmospheric and the source shut-off valve shut off closed (see Fig. 1), setthe thermal analysis instrument indicated pressure to zero gage pressure.10.5 Close the thermal analyzer exhaust valve, open

33、the source of pressurized gas, and slowly increase the pressure regulatoruntil the reference pressure gage reads the maximum pressure to be calibrated (often 7.00 MPa). Close the source valve. Recordthis value as P2.NOTE 6Other calibration pressures may be used but shall be reported.10.6 Record the

34、indicated pressure on the thermal analyzer pressure measuring signal (or gage) as P3.10.7 Calculate the calibration constant (S) using Eq 2.10.8 Using the value of S from 10.7, calculate the percent conformity (C) using Eq 4 or a table of percent conformity values(see 11.4.1)11. Calculation11.1 For

35、the purpose of these procedures, it is assumed that the relationship between observed pressure (Po) and the actualpressure (P) is linear and governed by Eq 1:P 5Po3S (1)FIG. 1 Schematic Diagram of ApparatusE2744 163where:P = true gage pressure (kPa),Po = thermal analyzer observed gage pressure (kPa)

36、, andP = calibration constant (nominal value 1.00000).11.2 The calibration constant S is determined by Eq 2:S 5P2P3 (2)NOTE 7When performing this calculation, retain all available decimal places in the measured value and in the value of S.11.3 Using the value of S from 11.2, the percent conformity o

37、f the pressure measurement of the instrument signal may becalculated by:C 5S 21.00000!3100% (3)11.4 Conformity may be estimated to one significant figure using the following criteria:11.4.1 If the value of S lies:11.4.1.1 Between 0.9990 and 0.9999 or between 1.0001 and 1.0010, then conformity is bet

38、ter than 0.1 %;11.4.1.2 Between 0.9900 and 0.9990 or between 1.0010 and 1.0100, then conformity is better than 1 %; and11.4.1.3 Between 0.9000 and 0.9900 or between 1.1000 and 1.0100, then conformity is better than 10 %.11.5 Using the determined value of S,Eq 1 may be used to calculate true gage pre

39、ssure (P) from an observed signal pressure(Po), provided that the measuring gage has been properly “zeroed.”11.6 Absolute pressure (Pa) may be obtained from Eq 4:Pa5Patm1P (4)where:Pa = absolute pressure (kPa), andPatm = atmospheric pressure (kPa).12.

Precision and Bias13.1 An interlaboratory study of pressure signal calibration was conducted

41、in 2009 in which a single organization made 6duplicated determinations on 5 different instruments for a total of 20 degrees of experimental freedom.13.2 Precision:13.2.1 Within laboratory variability may be described using the repeatability value (r) obtained by multiplying the repeatabilitystandard

42、 deviation by 2.8.The repeatability value estimates the 95 % confidence limit.That is, two results from the same laboratoryshould be considered suspect (95 % confidence level) if they differ by more than the repeatability value.13.2.2 The within laboratory repeatability standard deviation obtained f

43、or the measurement of pressure was 3.4 kPa. Therelative repeatability standard deviation was 0.098 %.13.2.3 The between laboratory variability may be described using the reproducibility value (R) obtained by multiplying thereproducibility standard deviation by 2.8. The reproducibility value estimate

44、s the 95 % confidence limit. This is, results obtainedfrom two different laboratories, operators or apparatus should be considered suspect (at the 95 % confidence level) if they differby more than the reproducibility value.13.2.4 The between laboratory reproducibility standard deviation obtained for

45、 the measurement of pressure was 6.2 kPa. Therelative reproducibility standard deviation was 0.18 %.13.3 Bias:13.3.1 Bias is the difference between the mean value obtained and an acceptable reference value. This test method reports biasas conformance.13.3.2 The mean value of pressure measured was 34

46、44.5 kPA gage compared to the reference value of 3447.5 kPa gage. Thiscorresponds to a bias of 3.0 Pa or 0.087 %.13.4 Bias is the difference between the mean value obtained and an acceptable reference value. This test methods reports biasas conformance.E2744 16413.5 The mean slope determined by this

47、 test method was S = 1.00087. This corresponds to a conformance value ofC = 0.0087 %.14.
