Significance and Use5.1 This test method is suitable for setting specifications, foruse as an internal quality control tool, and for use in develop-ment or research work on industrial aromatic hydrocarbons andrelated materials.5.2 This test method gives a broad indication
16、 of generalpurity and can also indicate presence of excessive moisture. Itwill not differentiate between products of similar boiling range.6.

19、tested. Ifno thermometer is specified in the material specification, selectone from Table 1 with the smallest graduations that will coverthe entire distillation range of the material being tested. Table1 lists several ASTM solvents distillation thermometers whichare suitable for testing industrial a
20、romatic hydrocarbons, andwhich meet the requirements of Specification E1.6.2.2 Automatic Distillation Temperature SensorTemperature measurement systems using thermocouples orresistance thermometers, otherwise referred to as the “tempera-ture measuring devices,” must exhibit the same temperature laga
21、nd accuracy as the equivalent mercury glass thermometer.Confirmation of the calibration of these temperature sensors isto be done at regular intervals. This may be accomplished asprescribed in Test Method E 220, or some similar means usinga precision resistance decade box. Another technique is todis
22、till pure toluene and compare the temperature indicated bythe thermocouple or resistance thermometer with that shownby the thermometer. When installing a new automatic distilla-tion analyzer, a toluene sample with a known distillation rangeof approximately 1.0C must be used to verify the dry pointan
23、d distillation range.4It is recommended that such a materialbe used when replacing a temperature measuring device.Alternatively a material of known distillation range and drypoint may be used when replacing a temperature measuringdevice.6.2.2.1 Automatic Distillation Temperature Sensor Center-ing De
24、viceThe temperature sensor shall be mounted througha snug-fitting device designed to mechanically center thesensor in the neck of the flask. The use of a cork or siliconestopper with a hole drilled through the center is not acceptablefor this purpose. Examples of acceptable centering devices areshow
25、n in Fig. 2.6.2.2.2 The electronic circuitry or algorithms, or both, usedshall include the capability to simulate the temperature lag ofa mercury-in-glass thermometer. For that reason the knowntoluene sample with a distillation range of approximately 1.0Cmust be used to verify the algorithm and damp
26、ening software.6.2.2.3 Alternatively, the sensor can also be placed in acasing with the tip of the sensor covered, so that the assembly,because of its adjusted thermal mass and conductivity, has atemperature lag similar to that of a mercury-in-glass thermom-eter.NOTE 1In a region where the temperatu
27、re is changing rapidly duringthe distillation, the temperature lag of a thermometer can be as much as3s.6.3 Condenser and Cooling Bath:6.3.1 Manual Distillation Condenser and Cooling Bath:6.3.1.1 The manual distillation condenser and cooling bathshall be as specified in Section 5, and Fig. 1 of Spec

It shall be setin a cooling trough so that at least 380 mm of the tube is incontact with the water. Clearan
31、ce between the condenser tubeand any parallel side of the trough shall be not less than 19 mm.The water in the cooling trough shall be maintained at 10 to20C. This may be done by adding ice to the water or bycirculating chilled water through the trough. The trough shallbe so mounted that the condens
32、er tube is set at an angle of 75with the vertical.6.3.2 Automatic Distillation and Cooling BathThe auto-matic distillation and cooling bath shall be as specified inSection 5, Fig. 2 of Specification E 133.6.4 Distillation Receiver:6.4.1 Manual Distillation ReceiverA graduate of the cy-lindrical type
33、, of uniform diameter, with a pressed or moldedbase and a lipped top. The cylinder shall be marked to contain100 mL, and the 0 to 100 mL receiver portion shall be not lessthan 178 nor more than 203 mm in length. It shall be graduatedin single millilitres and each fifth mark shall be distinguishedby
34、a longer line. It shall be numbered from the bottom up atintervals of 10 mL. The overall height of the receiver shall notbe less than 248 nor more than 260 mm. The graduations shallnot be in error by more than 1 mLat any point on the scale. Thebottom 1-mL graduation may be omitted. The receiver com-
35、plies with Section 9, Graduate B Fig. 4, of Specification E 133.6.4.2 Automatic Distillation ReceiverA receiver to beused with measurements in accordance with the instrumentmanufacturer and conform to the physical specifications de-scribed in this section, with the exception of the graduations.6.4.2
36、.1 Automatic Distillation Level FollowerFor auto-matic apparatus, the level follower or recording mechanism ofthe apparatus will have a resolution of 0.1 mL with an accuracyof 61 mL. The calibration of the assembly should be con-firmed according to the manufacturers instructions at regularintervals.
37、 The typical calibration procedure involves verifyingthe output with the receiver containing 5 and 100 mL ofmaterial respectively.6.5 Flask Support Assembly:6.5.1 For Units Using Electric HeatersThe assemblyconsists of an adjustable system onto which the electric heateris mounted with provision for
38、placement of a flask supportboard (see 6.5.2) above the electric heater. The whole assemblyis adjustable from the outside of the shield.6.5.2 Flask Support BoardThe flask support board shallbe constructed of ceramic or other heat-resistant material witha centrally located opening. For tests of benze
39、ne and toluene,the opening shall be 25 mm in diameter; for tests of materialsboiling above toluene but mostly below 145C, the openingshall be 38 mm in diameter, and for higher boiling materials, itshall be 50 mm in diameter. The flask support board shall be ofsufficient dimension to ensure that ther
40、mal heat to the flaskonly comes from the central opening and that extraneous heatto the flask other than through the central opening is mini-mized. (WarningHeat rsisitant-containing materials shallnot be used in the construction of the flask support board.)6.5.3 For Units Using Bunsen BurnerThe flas
41、k supportboard is approximately 50 mm higher than the top of theburner.6.6 Heater:6.6.1 Manual Distillation HeaterAn electric heater or abunsen burner, fully adjustable and capable of giving sufficientheat to distill the product at the required rate. When a bunsenburner is used, as described in 7.1
42、and Fig. 1 of SpecificationE 133, the burner shall be adjusted so as to produce an entirelyblue flame. (WarningSuperheating of the flask can causeFIG. 2 Examples of Centering Device Designs for Straight-Bore Neck FlasksD 850 03 (2008)e13erroneous results and is more likely to occur with electricheat
43、ers than with bunsen burners as heat sources. This problemis discussed in the section on Preparation of Apparatus in TestMethod D 1078.)7. Hazards7.1 Consult current OSHA regulations and suppliers Mate-rial Safety Data Sheets, and local regulations, for all materialsused in this test method.8. Sampl
44、ing8.1 Sampling should follow safe rules in order to adhere toall safety precautions as outlined in the latest OSHA regula-tions. Refer to Practice D 3437 for proper sampling andhandling of aromatic hydrocarbons analyzed by this testmethod.8.2 The sample under test shall be transparent and free ofse
45、parated water. Any separated water may ordinarily be elimi-nated by care in pouring the 100-mL specimen (10.1) into thegraduated cylinder. If necessary, any separated water or cloudi-ness may be removed by filtration, in which case the followingprecautions shall be taken: Use a soft paper through wh
46、ich thespecimen filters rapidly, avoid drafts, cover the funnel with awatch glass, and filter at least 200 mL from which to take the100 mL for distillation. Dehydration (that is, removal ofdissolved water) is not permissible. Note, however, that certainmaterials, especially benzene, may absorb trace
47、s of water thatcan be significant with respect to this test. When it can beshown that failure to pass this distillation test is due to thepresence of dissolved water, it shall be permissible, if mutuallyagreeable to the purchaser and the seller, to dry the specimenby any method agreed to by both the
48、 purchaser and the seller.9. Assembly of Apparatus9.1 Manual Distillation Apparatus:9.1.1 Remove any residual liquid in the condenser tube byswabbing with a piece of lint-free cloth attached to a cord orwire.9.1.2 Assemble the apparatus. Mount the flask on theinsulation board of appropriate dimensio
