Discard thisrinsing toluene into an approved safety co
15、ntainer.NOTE 1The cuvet must be handled on the ground-glass sides only. Donot touch the smooth, clear sides with the fingers.7.6 Fill the cuvet and wipe the outside surfaces with thelint-free wiping paper while holding the cuvet in front of asuitable light source. The toluene must be free of any con
16、tami-nants, such as lint particles, which might cause light scattering,thus influencing the test results. If necessary, rewipe the outsideuntil perfectly clean, or clean the inside surfaces with a cottonswab. Repeat 7.5 if the inside surfaces are cleaned.7.7 . Insert the cuvet into the spectrophotom

Procedure8.1 Dry an adequate sample of carbon black at 125 6 1Cfor 60, +5, 0 min, using a gravity-convection oven.NOTE 2An infrared lamp must not be used for drying samples, as itwill vaporize some of the extractable materials

Report9.1 Report the following
22、 information:9.1.1 Proper identification of the sample, and9.1.2 Toluene discoloration value reported to the nearest0.1 % transmittance.10. Precision and Bias10.1 These precision statements have been prepared inaccordance with Practice D 4483. Refer to this practice forterminology and other statisti
23、cal details.10.2 The precision results in this precision and bias sectiongive an estimate of the precision of this test method with thematerials used in the particular interlaboratory program de-scribed below. The precision parameters should not be used foracceptance or rejection testing of any grou
24、p of materialswithout documentation that they are applicable to those par-ticular materials and the specific testing protocols of the testmethod. Any appropriate value may be used from Table 1.10.3 A type 1 inter-laboratory precision program was con-ducted as detailed in Table 2. Both repeatability
25、and reproduc-ibility represent short-term (daily) testing conditions. Thetesting was performed using two operators in each laboratoryperforming the test once on each of two days (total of fourtests). A test result is the value obtained from a singledetermination. Acceptable difference values were no
26、t mea-sured. The between-operator component of variation is in-cluded in the calculated values for r and R.10.4 The results of the precision calculations for this test aregiven in Table 1. The materials are arranged in ascending“mean level” order.10.5 RepeatabilityThe pooled relative repeatability,
27、(r),of this test has been established as 1.60 %. Any other value inTable 1 may be used as an estimate of repeatability, asappropriate. The difference between two single test results (ordeterminations) found on identical test material under therepeatability conditions prescribed for this test will ex
28、ceed therepeatability on an average of not more than once in 20 casesin the normal and correct operation of the method. Two singletest results that differ by more than the appropriate value fromTable 1 must be suspected of being from different populationsand some appropriate action taken.NOTE 4Appro
29、priate action may be an investigation of the test methodprocedure or apparatus for faulty operation or the declaration of asignificant difference in the two materials, samples, etc., which generatedthe two test results.10.6 ReproducibilityThe pooled relative reproducibility,(R), of this test has bee
30、n established as 3.55 %. Any other valuein Table 1 may be used as an estimate of reproducibility, asappropriate. The difference between two single and indepen-dent test results found by two operators working under theprescribed reproducibility conditions in different laboratorieson identical test ma
31、terial will exceed the reproducibility on anaverage of not more than once in 20 cases in the normal andcorrect operation of the method.
