Hazards8.1 Consult current OSHA regulations, suppliers MaterialSafety Data Sheets, and local regulations for all materials usedin this test method.8.2 Isooctane is Extremely Flammable. Harmful if inhaled.Vap
22、ors may cause flash fire. Keep away from heat, sparks, andopen flame. Keep container closed. Use with adequate venti-lation. Avoid buildup of vapors and eliminate all sources ofignition, especially non-explosion-proof electrical apparatusand heaters. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapor or spray mist.
23、Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.9. Preparation of Strips9.1 Surface PreparationRemove all surface blemishesfrom all six sides of the strip obtained from a previous analysis(see Note 2). One way to accomplish this is to use 00 grade orfiner steel wool or silicon carbide grit paper or cloth o
24、f suchdegrees of fineness as are needed to accomplish the desiredresults efficiently. Finish with 65-m (240-grit) silicon-carbidepaper or cloth, removing all marks that may have been made byother grades of paper used previously. Ensure the preparedcopper strip is protected from oxidation prior to fi
25、nal prepara-tion, such as by immersing the strip in wash solvent fromwhich it can be withdrawn immediately for final preparation(polishing) or in which it can be stored for future use.NOTE 2Only final polishing (see 9.2) is necessary for commerciallypurchased pre-polished strips.NOTE 3As a practical
26、 manual polishing procedure, place a sheet ofthe paper on a flat surface, moisten it with wash solvent, and rub the stripagainst the paper with a circular motion, protecting the strip from contactwith the fingers by using an ashless filter paper, other suitable material, orwearing disposable gloves.
27、Alternatively, the strip may be prepared by useof motor-driven machines using appropriate grades of dry paper or cloth.9.2 Final PolishingFor strips prepared in 9.1 or newstrips being used for the first time, remove a strip from itsprotected location, such as by removing it from the washsolvent. To
28、prevent possible surface contamination during finalpreparation, do not allow fingers to come in direct contact withthe copper strips, such as by wearing disposable gloves orholding the strips in the fingers protected with ashless filterpaper. Polish first the ends and then the sides with the 105-m(1
29、50-mesh) silicon-carbide grains picked up from a suitablecontainer with a pad of absorbent cotton or cloth moistenedwith a drop of wash solvent. Wipe vigorously with fresh padsof absorbent cotton or cloth and subsequently handle only withstainless-steel forceps, tongs, or other suitable devices to a
30、voidtouching with the fingers. Polish the main surfaces with siliconcarbide grains on absorbent cotton or cloth. Rub in thedirection of the long axis of the strip, carrying the strokebeyond the end of the strip before reversing the direction.Clean all metal dust from the strip by rubbing vigorously
31、withclean pads of absorbent cotton or cloth until the materialremains unsoiled. When the strip is clean, immediately im-merse the strip in the specimen flask.NOTE 4It is important to polish the whole surface of the stripuniformly to obtain a uniformly stained strip. If the edges show wear(surface el
32、liptical) they will likely show more corrosion than the center.The use of a vise will facilitate uniform polishing.10. Procedure10.1 Fasten the 150-mm length of soft copper wire throughthe hole provided near one end of the strip, taking care not totouch the strip with the fingers after polishing.10.
33、2 Place the strip in the flask and add 200 mL of thesample. The specimen must not contain separated water. Filterthrough a dry filter paper, if necessary, to remove water.10.3 Connect the flask to the vertical reflux condenser bymeans of a properly bored cork or glass stopper. It is absolutelynecess
34、ary that a cork or glass, not rubber, stopper be used, inorder to avoid contamination of the specimen by sulfur fromrubber stoppers. The copper wire may be allowed to extendinto the condenser tube for convenience in removing the strip.Completely immerse the strip.10.4 Place the flask in the gently b
35、oiling water bath, andimmerse the flask to the liquid line of the specimen within theflask.D849 09210.5 Remove the copper strip 30 min from the time the flaskwas immersed in the bath. Do not touch the copper strip, butremove it by the wire that has been provided. Do not allow thestrip to come in con
36、tact with separated water during any part ofthe test, since water causes bad local staining of the copper. Ifit is desired to preserve the strip for future reference, dip itimmediately into white shellac or lacquer.11. Interpretation of Results11.1 Compare the exposed strip with the ASTM CopperStrip
