1、Designation: D 3505 96 (Reapproved 2006)Standard Test Method forDensity or Relative Density of Pure Liquid Chemicals1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3505; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the ye
2、ar of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method describes a s
3、implified procedure for themeasurement of density or relative density of pure liquidchemicals for which accurate temperature expansion functionsare known. It is restricted to liquids having vapor pressures notexceeding 600 mm Hg (0.8 atm) at the equilibration tempera-ture, and having viscosities not
4、 exceeding 15 cSt at 20C(60F).1.2 Means are provided for reporting results in the follow-ing units:Density g/cm3at 20CDensity g/ml at 20CRelative density 20C/4CRelative density 60F/60F (15.56C/15.56C)Commercial density, lb (in air)/U.S. gal at 60FCommercial density, lb (in air)/U.K. gal at 60F.NOTE
5、1This test method is based on the old definition of 1L = 1.000028 dm3(1 mL = 1.000028 cm3). In 1964 the General Confer-ence on Weights and Measures withdrew this definition of the litre anddeclared that the word “litre” was a special name for the cubic decimetre,thus making 1 mL = 1 cm3exactly.NOTE
6、2An alternative method for determining relative density ofpure liquid chemicals is Test Method D 4052.1.3 The following applies to all specified limits in this testmethod: for purposes of determining conformance with thistest method, an observed value or a calculated value shall berounded off “to th

19、ails on the method and derivation offormulas.4.1 For materials listed in Table 1 the sample is drawn intoa weighed and calibrated bicapillary pycnometer. The fillerpycnometer is allowed to come to equilibrium at any conve-nient temperature between 10 and 30C (50 and 86F). Theequilibrium temperature
20、is measured to the nearest 0.02C. Theweight is determined using a beam balance. The density,relative density, or commercial density at the desired referencetemperature is then calculated from the sample weight, acalibration factor proportional to an equal volume of water, anda multiplier which corre

Make all weighings on the same day, usingthe same balance and weights.10.2 Calculate the volume, VTp, at each scale point testedby means of the following equation; carry all calculations in 6non-zero digit

If a straight line cannot be drawn through the threepoints, discard the data and determine three additional pointsso that a straight calibration line can be drawn such that no datapoint lies more than 0.0002-mL
38、 units from the line. If neitherset of data meets the condition, the diameters of the graduatedcapillary arms are not sufficiently uniform, and the pycnometershould be discarded.10.4 From the curve obtained, prepare a table of apparentvolume, VA, (sum of scale readings of both arms), as apparentvolu

Procedure11.1 Weigh the clean, dry pycnometer to 0.1 mg and recordthe weight.11.2 With the sample at approximately the test temperature,fill the pycnomet
40、er by holding it in an upright position andplacing the hooked tip in the sample; the liquid will then bedrawn over the bend in the capillary by surface tension. Allowthe pycnometer to fill by siphoning (about 1 min) and break thesiphon when the liquid level in the bulb arm of the pycnometerreaches t
41、he lowest graduation mark.11.3 Thoroughly dry the wet tip. Wipe the body of thepycnometer with a chemically clean, lint-free cloth slightlydamp with water (Note 4) and weigh the filled pycnometer tothe nearest 0.1 mg.NOTE 5In atmospheres below 60 % relative humidity, drying thepycnometer by rubbing
42、with a dry cotton cloth will induce static chargesequivalent to a loss of about 1 mg or more in the weight of thepycnometer. This charge may not be completely dissipated in less than12, and can be detected by touching the pycnometer to the wire hook in thebalance and then drawing it away slowly. If
43、the pycnometer exhibits anattraction for the wire hook, it may be considered to have a static charge.11.4 Place the pycnometer in the holder in a constant-temperature bath held at any convenient temperature 10 and30C within 60.02C; for materials not listed in Table 1, holdthe bath exactly at the des
44、ired reference temperature, usually15.56C or 20C. When the liquid level has reached tempera-ture equilibrium (usually in about 10 min) and while still in thebath, read the scale to the nearest 0.2 small division at theliquid level in each arm.12.
