At the end ofthe purging period, turn off the air flow, close the absorbers,and remove them from the train. Allow the absorbers to reachroom temperature, gently wipe each w
23、ith a lint-free dry cloth,and place them beside the balance case for 30 min or more.Open the absorbers for a moment to equalize the pressure,close, and weigh to the nearest 1 mg.8.2 While the absorbers are standing, the lamp may beprepared. Thread the burner with the proper number of wickstrands (se
24、e Note 3) by drawing the strand through the burnertube with a small metal hook. Trim the wick as closely aspossible to the top of the burner, and draw the trimmed wickdown until it is flush with or slightly below the top of theburner. Pipet approximately 5 mL of test specimen into theburner flask, a

Allow the sample to rise by capillaryaction to the top of the wick.NOTE 3The burning characteristics of the flame are dependent uponthe flow of air to the burner, th
26、e volatility of the test specimen, thetightness of the wick in the burner tube, and the position of the wickrelative to the top of the burner. The latter two factors can be establishedbefore an actual determination is made so that the flame can be controlledby the rate of air flow. A tightly fitting

In any case, the flame must burn smoothly andsymmetrically without jets in the inner cone or smoke on the outer fringes.8.3 Connect the weighed absorbers to the chimney tube,attach the U-tube,4and immerse the absorbers in the ice-waterbath.8.4 Weigh the assembled lamp quickly to the
33、nearest 1 mgand bring it immediately to the absorption train. Open theabsorbers in the train. Remove the cap and rubber policemanfrom the lamp, and connect the air flow to the burner. Ignite thelamp with a microburner, and rapidly adjust the air flow untila symmetrical nonsmoking flame is obtained.

Record to the nearest secondthe time that elapsed between ignition of the burner andinsertion of the lamp in the chimney as lost burning time. Theflame may require further minor adjustment i

QUALITY CONTROLX1.1 Confirm the performance of the instrument or the testprocedure by analyzing a quality control (QC) sample.X1.2 Prior to monitoring the measurement process, the use
47、rof the test method needs to determine the average value andcontrol limits of the QC sample (see Practice D6299).7,8X1.3 Record the QC results, and analyze by control chartsor other statistically equivalent techniques to ascertain thestatistical control status of the total testing process (see Pract
48、iceD6299).7,8Any out-of-control data should trigger investigationfor root cause(s).X1.4 In the absence of explicit requirements given in thetest method, the frequency of QC testing is dependent on thecriticality of the quality being measured, the demonstratedstability of the testing process, and cus
49、tomer requirements.Generally, a QC sample is analyzed each testing day withroutine samples. The QC frequency should be increased if alarge number of samples are routinely analyzed. However,when it is demonstrated that the testing is under statisticalcontrol, the QC testing frequency may be reduced. The QCsample precision should be checked against the ASTM testmethod precision to ensure data quality.8X1.5 It is recommended that, if possible, the type of QCsample that is regularly tested be representative of the materialroutinely analyzed.
