Standardization of Apparatus7.1 The thermal conductivity of the cell contents, KL, shallbe expressed in terms of the following equation:DT/I2R! 3 4.19 5 A/KL! 1 B (1)where A and B are essent
29、ially constants that depend on thedimensions of the cell and its materials of construction. If thecell is purchased the values of these constants should becertified by the manufacturer.NOTE 2A, in fact, is a constant depending only upon cell geometry,type of glass and, to a lesser extent, the operat
30、ion of the temperature bathand bath fluid. Within the present recommended accuracy of the method,B can be considered to be a constant.7.2 To determine the absolute values of the cell constants,the various dimensions of the cell are obtained by appropriatemeasurements made during and after the constr
31、uction of thecell. The conductivity of the glass cell body is obtained fromthe manufacturers literature.7.3 An additional relative calibration procedure may beused, with reliable thermal conductivity standards. A standardmaterial, such as dimethyl phthalate (Table 2), is placed in thecell. For a giv
32、en current, DT and the cell resistance aremeasured in the manner described in 8.1. By substituting B,asdetermined in 7.1, and the above-measured values into Eq 1,constant A can be determined with accuracy. Small errors in Bhave little effect on the calculated thermalconductivity. Hence,if exact dime
33、nsions for the calculation of the value of B are notavailable, a rough approximation will suffice in many in-stances.7.4 The temperature-resistance relationship of the cell fila-ment is determined by measurement of its resistance at varioustemperatures with the cell filled with a fluid of high therm
34、alconductivity, such as water (Table 3). To eliminate the effectsof self-heating during this calibration, the apparent resistanceat each temperature selected is measured at several low bridgecurrents. The actual resistance is then obtained by extrapola-tion of the curve of apparent resistance versus
35、 current to zerocurrent.8. Procedure8.1 Fill the cell with the sample until the liquid reaches alevel of about 1 or 2 cm in the sidearm. Place it in thethermostated bath and allow to stand until thermal equilibriumis obtained. Determine equilibrium when the zero-currentresistance of the cell reaches
36、 a constant value. Apply a higher(up to 30 mA) current to the cell and bridge circuit. Measurethe magnitude of this current by monitoring the voltage dropacross a 1-V resistor in series with the bridge. When the cellagain reaches temperature equilibrium as determined by mea-surement of its filament
37、resistance, measure the bath tempera-ture accurately with a platinum resistance thermometer andtake a final reading of cell resistance. Repeat this process atleast three times for varying bridge currents. The results willusually show a trend with time at first. Continue measurementsuntil the results
38、 are seen to be fluctuating about a mean. Takethe final resistance measurements as the mean of readingstaken with normal and reverse commutator settings in orderthat recorded resistances are the resistance of only the activeportion of the cell filament and that the effects of the cell leadsshall be
39、cancelled. Calculate the temperature difference DT asthe temperature difference between the cell wire temperature,determined from the cell resistance, and the temperature of thebath.9. Calculations and Report9.1 Calculate the thermal conductivity of the sample usingEq 2, used in conjunction with app
40、ropriate values of A and B,as follows:KL5 A/4.19DT/I2R! 2 B (2)9.2 Calculate a preliminary value of KLusing each set ofexperimental data collected in the manner described above.Average the last three such values to obtain the final value. Thereported test temperature shall be the arithmetic mean of
41、thebath temperature and the wire temperature determined from thecell resistance.NOTE 3When cgs units are used, the units of KLare cal/scmC. Theconversion factors in Table 1 can be used to calculate units in othercommonly used systems. The use of cgs units followed by conversion ofthe units KLas requ

46、 actual temperatures.NOTE 4When testing a liquid at a temperature less than 90 % of itsabsolute 50 % boiling point at one atmosphere, as measured by TestMethods D86, D 1160, D 2887, D 2893, the thermal conductivity datamay be expected to be a nearly linear function of temperature. Specifi-cally, if
47、changes in the function Dl/D T over two successive ranges of100C differ by more than 40 %, the operator should consider recalibra-tion of the apparatus.10. Precision and Bias10.1 Because of the complex nature of the procedure for thedetermination of thermal conductivity and because of theexpensive e
48、quipment involved in the initial set-up of theprocedure, there is not a sufficient number of volunteers topermit a cooperative laboratory program for determining theprecision and bias of the method. If the necessary volunteerscan be obtained, a program will be undertaken at a later date.As a prelimi
49、nary estimate, repeatability appears to be about10 % of the mean of two results by the same operator.11.
