1、Designation: C 1124 90 (Reapproved 2004)e1Standard Test Method forKerosene Retention of Asbestos1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 1124; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.
2、 A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.e1NOTEAsbestos warning was moved from 8.1 to 1.3 in September 2004.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the kero-sene reten
3、tion capacity of asbestos fiber by filtering aftermixing and measuring the volume of liquid retained bydifference.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The values given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.3 WarningBreathing of asbestos dust is hazardous.As
4、bestos and asbestos products present demonstrated healthrisks for users and for those with whom they come into contact.In addition to other precautions, when working with asbestos-cement products, minimize the dust that results. For informa-tion on the safe use of chrysoltile asbestos, refer to “Saf
5、e Useof Chrysotile Asbestos: A Manual on Preventive and ControlMeasures.”21.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine
6、 the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use. For a specifichazard warning, see 1.3.2.

Summary of Test Method4.1 A slurry of asbestos fiber is formed by mixing in aknown volume of kerosene. The slurry is then drained on astandard 177 m (U.S. No. 80) screen as defined in
9、 Specifica-tion E 11, and the kerosene that drains out in 15 min ismeasured. The quantity of kerosene retained is obtained bydifference.5. Significance and Use5.1 The kerosene retention value is an indication of thedegree of fiberization and of the absorptivity of a given gradeof asbestos.5.2 Since
10、the retention of the fibrous fractions is muchgreater than that of the non-fibrous fractions, this test methodmay be used to compare the fibrous content of otherwisesimilar grades of asbestos.6.

16、.2 Test Specimens:9.2.1 Two specimens each of 50 6 0.05 g are required.10. Procedure10.1 Put a 50 g specimen into a 400 cm3beaker and add 3256 1cm3of kerosene.10.2 Mix with a spatula for 120 s (2 min).10.3 Wet the drainage cylinder and screen with keroseneand drain 1 min.10.4 Place a 250-cm3graduate
17、d cylinder beneath the drain-age cylinder outlet.10.5 Immediately transfer the slurry in one continuousmotion to the drainage cylinder.10.6 Start a stopwatch simultaneously.10.7 After draining for 900 s (15 min), read the volume ofkerosene drained into the graduate, and record this value to theneare
18、st cm3.10.8 Discard the asbestos retained on the screen, rinse cleanwith running hot water, and dry the apparatus.7Thus it will beready for the next test.10.9 Repeat this procedure with the second specimen.11. Calculation11.1 For each of the two readings, subtract the valueobtained, in cm3, from the
19、 initial quantity of kerosene (325 cm3). Multiply these differences by two to obtain the keroseneretention values per 100 g of asbestos fiber.11.2 ExampleIf the reading on the graduated cylinder was215 cm3, then the kerosene retentionvalue = (325215) 3 2 = 220 cm3/100 g.12. Report12.1 Report the ave
20、rage of two kerosene retention values incm3/100 g.12.2 Fully identify the sample tested as to designation andorigin.7A jet of clean dry compressed air may be used to accelerate the drying.FIG. 1 Kerosene Retention Apparatus AssemblyFIG. 2 Retention Apparatus DetailC 1124 90 (2004)e1213.
