The vacuu
17、m jar shall be coated on the interiorwith a material resistant to hydrofluoric acid, such as a bakedphenolic resin, a baked vinyl chloride acetate resin, or bees-wax. The acid-resistant coating shall be intact and free ofcracks at all times; it shall be examined frequently and renewedwhenever necess
18、ary. As another means of protecting thevacuum jar, a plastic liner of suitable size may be used insteadof coating the interior of the jar. The contents of the vacuum jarshall not change more than 0.001C/min per degree differencefrom room temperature when filled with 425 g of the acidspecified in 6.2
19、, stoppered, and allowed to stand unstirred for30 min. The temperature for this check shall approximate thestarting temperatures to be used in making the determination.4.1.2 Insulated ContainerThe container shall have aninsulating layer of a material such as non-reactive foam, cotton,or fiber-glass,
20、 which shall be at least 25 mm in thickness andshall encase the sides and bottom of the vacuum jar, but shallbe so arranged as to permit easy removal of the jar.4.1.3 ThermometersTwo thermometers are required. Oneis a high-precision thermometer required to determine tempera-ture rise associated with
21、 dissolution of cement during determi-nations. For purposes of this test method, this thermometer iscalled the solution thermometer. The other thermometer is usedfor measuring sample temperature before introduction into thecalorimeter and air temperature during the determination. Forpurposes of this
22、 test method, it is called the reference ther-mometer.4.1.3.1 Solution thermometerThe solution thermometershall be readable to 0.001C and have an accuracy of 0.1C.The solution thermometer may be either a Beckman type (seeNote 2), which is a mercury-in-glass type that only outputstemperature differen
23、tials, or a digital type that gives actualtemperature outputs. If a Beckman type is used, it shall begraduated to at least 0.01C, with readings to 0.001C that canbe estimated by interpolation between these graduations. Itshall also have a temperature range of at least 6C.NOTE 2 If the part of the th
24、ermometer that will be in contact with thetest solution is sensitive to the nitric and hydrofluoric acids in the testsolution, then it is recommended that this part of the thermometer beFIG. 1 CalorimeterC186 172coated with a resistant material to prolong the service life of thethermometer.4.1.3.2 R
25、eference thermometerThe reference thermom-eter shall be readable to 0.1C and have an accuracy of 1C(Note 3).NOTE 3Research Report No. C01-10144contains an analysis support-ing the readability and accuracy requirements of thermometers.4.1.4 FunnelThe funnel through which the sample isintroduced into
26、the calorimeter shall be glass or plastic andshall have a stem inside diameter of at least 6 mm (see Note 4).NOTE 4The minimum diameter is to prevent clogging of the pow-dered cement sample. The length of the stem will need to be adjusted sothat the sample is delivered without the tip becoming wet f
27、rom the acidsolution, which will cause the funnel to become clogged and necessitateaborting the determination. The angle of the stem will need to be adjustedso that sample is not delivered onto the rotating stirrer, which will causesample to cake at the liquid line.4.1.5 Stirring AssemblyThe stirrer
28、 shall be a three-bladedpolyethylene propeller having the dimensions shown in Fig. 2,and shall extend as closely as possible to the bottom of thecalorimeter. The motor shall be of the constant-speed type, atleast 37 W, and shall be equipped with a geared speed reducerso that one speed, in the range
29、of 5.8 to 11.7 rev/s, can bemaintained constant.NOTE 5The stirrer shown in Fig. 2 may be readily made from acommercially available three-bladed polyethylene propeller having apropeller diameter of 34 mm, shaft diameter of 6 mm, and a shaft lengthof approximately 455 mm. The function of the stirrer i
30、s two-fold: tomaintain uniform temperature throughout the liquid, and to supplysufficient agitation to keep the solid in suspension in the acid mixture.Since a stirrer capable of keeping the solid in suspension generatesconsiderable heat in the calorimeter, it is important that the stirrer speedand,
31、 hence the rate of heat generation, be maintained constant. Becausesuch constancy is difficult to achieve with other types of motors, asynchronous motor with a geared speed reducer is recommended.4.2 MixerA moderate-speed mechanical mixer, such as amilk-shake type stirrer, capable of intimately mixi

Reagents and Materials5.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent-grade chemicals shall beused in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reage
36、nts shall conform to the specifications of the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society,where such specifications are available.5Other grades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficiently high purity to permit its use without lessening thea
37、ccuracy of the determination.5.2 Hydrofluoric Acid (sp gr 1.15)Concentrated hydroflu-oric acid (HF).5.3 Nitric Acid (2.00 N)The 2.00 N HNO3, for use in thecalorimeter, shall be prepared and standardized in large quan-tities. Optionally, the dilute HNO3may be made up with127 mL of concentrated HNO3(s
38、p gr 1.42) per litre of solution,provided that heat capacity determinations are made with eachbatch of diluted HNO3so prepared.5.4 WaxParaffin wax, or other suitable wax, for sealingvials.5.5 Zinc Oxide (ZnO)The ZnO shall be heated at 900 to950C for 1 h, then cooled in a desiccator, ground to pass a
39、150 m (No. 100) sieve, and stored. Immediately prior to a heatcapacity determination,7goftheZnOsoprepared shall beheated for not more than 5 min at 900 to 950C, cooled to roomtemperature in a desiccator, and weighed accurately for intro-duction into the calorimeter.NOTE 6The rate of solution of the
40、ZnO varies with the preliminarytreatment. The procedure described results in a product which dissolves atabout the same rate as the dry cement.6. Determination of Heat Capacity of Apparatus6.1 To determine the heat capacity of the system (that is, thenumber of joules required to raise the temperatur
41、e of thecalorimeter and contents 1C), measure the corrected tempera-ture rise obtained by dissolving7gofignited ZnO in thespecified acid mixture (see 6.2 6.7).6.2 Transfer approximately 400 g of the 2.00 N HNO3,which has been cooled to the temperature indicated by thelower range of the Beckmann ther
42、mometer (ordinarily about 4to 5C below room temperature), into the vacuum jar, add8.0 mL of HF (sp gr 1.15), weigh, and add sufficient additional2.00 N HNO3to bring the total weight of the solution to425.0 g. Then, assemble the calorimeter and start the stirringmotor. Take care that the stirrer blad
43、es or shaft do not touch thethermometer, the sides or bottom of the jar, or the cork stopper.The lower end of the funnel stem shall extend approximately6 mm below the lower surface of the stopper and at least12 mm above the level of the liquid. The upper end of the bulbof the Beckmann thermometer sh
44、all be at least 38 mm belowthe surface of the liquid. Place it at the same depth in alldeterminations.After an initial stirring period of at least 20 minto allow the temperature of the system to become uniform,record the temperature of the room to the nearest 0.1C, thetemperature of the acid to the
45、nearest 0.001C, record the time,and then immediately introduce the prepared ZnO through thefunnel at a uniform rate (see Note 7). Complete the introduc-tion of the ZnO in not less than 1 or more than 2 min. Brushany ZnO clinging to the funnel stem into the acid mixture bymeans of a small “camels-hai
46、r” brush.NOTE 7The temperature of the sample shall be identical with that ofthe room when the sample is introduced into the calorimeter.6.3 Read the temperature, to the nearest 0.001C, at 20 minand again at 40 min after beginning the introduction of thesample. The temperature rise in the first 20 mi
47、n includestemperature rise due to the heat of solution of the sample andany heat gain or heat loss to the environment. This is called thesolution period. The temperature change during the second20 min period is due to heat loss or gain to or from theenvironment. It is used to correct the temperature
48、 rise in thesolution period to give the actual heat of solution of the sample.The second 20 min period is called the correction period.6.4 Calculate the corrected temperature rise as follows:Ro5 202 0(1)R 5 Ro2 402 20!where:Ro= observed temperature rise, C,20= calorimeter temperature at the end of t
