19、d, when used in conjunction withTest Method D1015, allow the determination of the purity ofthe material under test. A knowledge of the purity of thesehydrocarbons is often needed to help control their manufactureand to determine their suitability for use as reagent chemicalsor for conversion to othe

If obtainable, liquid nitrogen is preferable be-cause of its safety.6.2.1 Use liquid nitrogen refrigerant only with adequateventilation. If liquid air is used as a refrigeran
26、t, it is imperativethat any glass vessel containing hydrocarbon or other combus-tible compound and immersed in liquid air be protected with asuitable metal shield. The mixing of a hydrocarbon or othercombustible compound with liquid air due to the breaking of aglass container would almost certainly
27、result in a violentexplosion. If liquid nitrogen is used as a refrigerant, nohydrocarbon sample should ever be permitted to cool below thecondensation temperature of oxygen (183 C at atm). Thiswould not be likely to occur in normal operation, but mightoccur if the apparatus were left unattended for
28、some time.7. Procedure7.1 Measure the freezing point as described in Test MethodD1015, using the modifications and constants given in Sections826of this test method for the specific compounds beingexamined.NOTE 2The estimated uncertainty in the calculated value of the purityas referred to in Section

30、idair), with a cooling rate of 0.3 Cmin to 0.8 Cmin for theliquid near the freezing point, and with crystallization inducedimmediately below the freezing point by means of a cold rod.8.2 The method of obtaining the samples shall be asfollows: Assemble the apparatus for obtaining the sample asshown i

Attach to C an absorptiontube containing anhydrous calcium sulfate or other suitabledesiccant (except magnesium perchlorate) so that water is notintro
32、duced into the system (Note 3). Fill the flask F with thecarbon dioxide refrigerant to within about 51 mm (2 in.) of thetop. After about 20 min or 30 min, when the system will havecooled sufficiently, remove the absorption tube and begin thecollection of liquid n-butane by opening the valve K andadj

Place the cool-ing bath in position around the freezing tube (O in Fig. 1 ofTest Method D1015), letting the temperature as read on theplatinum thermometer reach about 80 C when all the samplehas been collected.6For f

Replace the attachingtubes G and D on the condensing tube by caps. The liquidsample is now ready for introduction into the freezing tube (Oin Fig. 1

38、 from theDewar flask. Wrap a cloth around the upper portion of thecondensing tube (for ease of handling and for preventing therefrigerating liquid from contaminating the sample onpouring), and after removing the caps on the condensing tube,raise the stopper holding the platinum thermometer, and pour
