Therefore, for theeffective application of the CTS data for industrial scale operatio

17、ns, theCTS time must be extended to be greater than the processing time in theactual operation.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is a useful adjunct to dynamic thermaltests that are performed under conditions in which the sampletemperature is increased continuously at a programmed rate.Res

18、ults obtained under dynamic test conditions present diffi-culties in determining the temperature at which an exotherminitiates because onset temperature is dependent on heatingrate. The test method described in the present standard attemptsto determine the onset temperature under isothermal conditio

19、nswhere the heating rate is zero.6. Apparatus6.1 The design and complexity of the apparatus required forthis method depends upon the size of the sample to be used. Ingeneral, observance of an exothermic reaction in small samples(less than 50 mg) is best done using differential thermalanalysis or dif

20、ferential scanning calorimetry equipment andtechniques. Larger samples (up to 2 g) may be tested using aKuhner Micro CTS apparatus.6.2 The following items are required to obtain the appro-priate experimental data:6.2.1 A test chamber composed of:6.2.1.1 Furnace(s), to provide uniform controlled heat

21、ing ofa specimen and reference to a constant temperature.6.2.1.2 Temperature Sensor, to provide an indication of thespecimen/furnace temperature to 6 0.1 C.6.2.1.3 Differential Sensor, to detect a difference in heatflow or temperature between specimen and reference specimenequivalent to 1 mW or 40 m

22、K.NOTE 4Sample temperature may be measured either absolutely ordifferentially. When differential temperature measurements are made, anda reference material is used, the reference material should match thephysical state and heat capacity of the sample as closely as practical.Typical reference materia

23、ls are calcined aluminum oxide, glass beads,silicone oils, and a combination of these.NOTE 5Commercially available differential thermal analysis or dif-ferential scanning calorimetry apparatus capable of operating in anisothermal mode may be used. Alternatively, the apparatus may beassembled or fabr

24、icated from commercially available components (see12.1).6.2.2 A temperature Controller capable of heating fromambient to 400 C at a rate of up to 50 C/min and maintainingan isothermal temperature constant within that range to 6 1Cfor 120 min.6.2.3 A Recording Device, to record and display differenti

25、alheat flow or differential temperature, test specimen temperatureand time to the sensitivities described above.6.2.4 Containers (pans, crucibles, vials, test tubes, etc.)which are inert to the specimen and reference material andwhich are of suitable structure, shape, and integrity to containthe spe

Hazards7.1 Dynamic thermal tests are no

27、rmally carried out on smallsamples before the present test is undertaken. Therefore, theexperimenter should have some knowledge of the magnitude ofhazard associated with the material. Larger samples should beused only after due consideration is given to the potential forhazardous reaction. Thermodyn

28、amic calculations also can beused to determine the potential hazard.7.2 Special precautions should be taken to protect personneland equipment when the apparatus in use requires the insertionof samples into a heated block or furnace. These should includeadequate shielding and ventilation of equipment

29、, and face andhand protection.8. Sampling8.1 Specimens should be representative of the materialbeing studied and should be prepared to achieve good thermalcontact between the sample and container.8.2 Specimen size depends upon the sensitivity of theavailable apparatus (see 12.1).NOTE 6Specimen size

30、of 47 mg is typically used in thermal analysisapparatus. The Kuhner Micro CTS uses up to2gofsample. For testspecimen size greater than 1 g, record mass to 6 0.1 g.8.3 Specimens may be run in an unconfined or in a sealedspecimen container, depending upon which condition has themore relevance for the

31、end use of the data.8.4 In selecting the material of construction of the specimencontainer, consideration should be given to possible interactionwith the specimen.9. Calibration9.1 Apparatus temperature calibration shall be performedaccording to Practice E 967 at a heating rate of 1 C/min.9.2 Appara

32、tus heat flow calibration shall be performedaccording to Practice E 968 for differential scanning calorim-eters. Differential thermal and Kuhner Micro CTS apparatusshall be calibrated according to the manufacturers instruc-tions.9.3 Apparatus elapsed time shall be calibrated according toTest Method
