This method is not applicable to liming materials and preformed materials such as mineral wool slabs and foam
24、 slabs. NOTE The requirements of the standard may differ from the national legal requirements for the declaration of the products concerned. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited
25、applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

27、 with water at (22 3,0) C in an extraction ratio of 1 : 5 (1 V sample + 5 V water). The pH of the suspension is measured using a pH meter. 5 Reagents Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade. 5.1 Water with a specific conductivity not higher than 0,2 mS/m at 25 C and a pH 5,6 (grade 2 water
28、according to EN ISO 3696). 5.2 Buffer solution, pH = 4,00 at 20 C Dissolve 10,21 g of potassium hydrogen phthalate (C8H5KO4)in water (see 5.1) and dilute to 1000 ml in a volumetric flask. 5.3 Buffer solution, pH = 7,00 at 20 C Dissolve 3,800 g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4) and 3,415 g d
29、isodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4) in water (see 5.1) and dilute to 1000 ml in a volumetric flask. The potassium dihydrogen phosphate shall be dried before use for 2 h at 110 C to 120 C. DIN EN 13037:2012-01 EN 13037:2011 (E) 5 5.4 Buffer solution, pH = 9,22 at 20 C Dissolve 3,800 g of disodium te
30、traborate decahydrate (Na2B4O7 10H2O) in water (see 5.1) and dilute to 1000 ml in a volumetric flask. Commercially available buffers (e.g. in the form of tablets) covering the required pH range according to the manual of the pH-meter may also be used. NOTE 1 The buffer solutions (see 5.2, 5.3 and 5.
31、4) are stable for one month if stored in polyethylene bottles in a refrigerator. NOTE 2 If disodium tetraborate is stored for a long time there is the possibility of loss of water of crystallisation. 6 Apparatus Usual laboratory apparatus and in particular the following apparatus according to 6.1 to
32、 6.6. 6.1 pH-meter, with slope adjustment and temperature control. 6.2 Analytical balance, with a scale interval of 0,01 g. 6.3 Glass electrode and a reference electrode or a combined electrode of equivalent performance. In the case of extreme pH values (greater than 10) an electrode specifically de
33、signed for that range shall be used. NOTE The use of electrodes in systems containing soil increases the danger of contamination leading to deterioration of performance. 6.4 Thermometer, capable of measuring to the nearest 1 C, conforming to type C of ISO 1770. 6.5 Plastic or glass containers of suf
34、ficient capacity to accommodate the volume of the sample, extractant and 10 % air volume. 6.6 Shaking or mixing machine, capable of holding container (see 6.5) and maintaining the sample in suspension without damaging the structure of the sample. 7 Preparation 7.1 Extraction 7.1.1 General Prepare th
35、e sample in accordance with EN 13040 and determine the compacted laboratory bulk density of the sample in accordance with Annex A of EN 13040:2007. 7.1.2 Test samples passing through a 20 mm sieve Take a weight equivalent to 60 ml of the sample volume to the nearest 1 g and transfer to the container
36、 (see 6.5). Add 300 ml of water (see 5.1), secure the cap and shake for 1 h on the shaking machine (see 6.6) at (22 3) C. DIN EN 13037:2012-01 EN 13037:2011 (E) 6 7.1.3 Test samples passing through a 40 mm sieve Take a weight equivalent to 250 ml of the sample volume to the nearest 1 g and transfer
37、to the container (see 6.5). Add 1250 ml of water (see 5.1), secure the cap and shake for 1 h on the shaking machine (see 6.6) at (22 3) C. 8 Procedure 8.1 Calibration of the pH meter Calibrate the pH-meter as prescribed in the manufacturers manual, using at least two buffer solutions appropriate to
38、the pH of the sample under test.NOTE With electrodes that are in good condition, equilibrium is normally achieved within 30 s. 8.2 Measurement of the pH Adjust the pH-meter as indicated in the manufacturers manual. Measure the temperature of the suspension taking care to ensure that the temperature
39、of the buffer solutions and the sample suspensions do not differ by more than 1 C. Agitate the suspension thoroughly just before the measurement and measure the pH in the settling suspension. Read the pH after stabilisation is reached, i.e. when the reading does not change by more than 0,1 of a pH u
40、nit over 15 s. Note the values to 1 decimal place. 9 Precision The repeatability and reproducibility of the pH in separately prepared samples should be in accordance with Table A.1. A summary of the results of an interlaboratory trial to determine the precision of the method in accordance with ISO 5
41、725 are given in Annex A. NOTE The values derived from the interlaboratory trial may not be applicable to concentrations and matrices other than those given. 10 Test report The test report shall contain the following information: a) a reference to this European Standard; b) all information necessary
42、 for complete identification of the sample; c) the results of the determination expressed to the nearest 0,1 pH-unit; d) details of any operations not specified in the European Standard or regarded as optional, as well as any factor which may have affected the results; e) the laboratory compacted bu
