All other IR energy iseliminated from reaching the detector by a precise wavelengthfilter. Thus, the absorption of IR energy can be attributed onlyto sulfur dioxid

Repeat this procedure.Adjust instrument as recommended by the manufacturer untilthe absence of drift is indicated.10.3 Calibration ProcedureWeigh out four specimens ofthe 1.0 % sulfur standard. Follow the calibration procedurerecommended by the manufacturer. Confirm
22、 the calibration byanalyzing the 1.0 % sulfur standard. The value should bewithin the allowable limits of the known value. If not, repeatthe procedure. Then weigh out and analyze two specimens,each of the other calibration standards. Record the results aftereach analysis. Compare the results obtaine

Reference values do not exist for this testmethod since the value or level of the test property isexclus

Summary of Test Method14.1 X-ray fluorescence may be used to determine sulfur incarbon black. Each element has an unique energy response(fluorescence) when exposed to x-ray energy that can be u
40、sedto identify the element. An x-ray source excites the sulfuratoms in the sample material. The instrument detects theexcited sulfur atoms and produces a numeric value.15. Apparatus15.1 X-ray Fluorescence Instrument, designed specificallyfor the test of trace amounts of sulfur, with x-ray source(rad
41、ioisotope or x-ray tube), detection, and numeric display.X-ray fluorescence instruments are either wavelength disper-sive or energy dispersive. Energy dispersive instruments havea lower detectable limit of 15 ppm while wavelength dispersiveinstruments have a lower detectable limit of less than 1 ppm
42、.Since the sulfur in oil furnace type carbon blacks is usuallypresent in percent levels, either instrument type is suitable.15.2 Gravity Convection Drying Oven, capable of maintain-ing 125 6 5C.15.3 Desiccator.16. Calibration16.1 The ability of the instrument to detect an elementsenergy signature is
43、 strongly influenced by the sample matrix.Therefore, the materials used to calibrate the instrument needto be as similar as possible to the unknown sample to be tested.If the unknown sample is a liquid, slurry, powder, or solid, thecalibration materials need to be a similar liquid, slurry, powder,or
44、 solid. The preferred calibration materials will be made by (orcome from) the same process as the unknown sample.16.2 X-ray fluorescence is not a primary test, but work byASTM International Committee D24 on Carbon Black hasshown that only carbon black with suitable levels of sulfurnaturally occurrin
45、g (that is, coming from the carbon blackmanufacturing process.) can be used to properly calibrate thetechnique. It has been determined that a standard materialcannot be made by adding elemental sulfur to carbon black.16.3 Calibrate the instrument according to the manufactur-ers instructions.16.4 Fou
