4、: or alcohol, glycerin, diethylene glycol, acetone, or otherwater-miscible volatile compounds. This test method wasderived from Test Methods D500, Sections 4 through 9.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.

6、 Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D500 Test Methods of ChemicalAnalysis of Sulfonated andSulfated Oils3. Significance and Use3.1 This test method is intended to determine the moisturecontent of fats, oils, and fatliquors used in the softening andstuffing of leather. The moisture content is measured for
7、thepurpose of quality assurance.4. Apparatus4.1 The apparatus required consists of a glass flask heatedby suitable means and provided with a reflux condenserdischarging into a trap and connected to the flask. Theconnections between the trap and the condenser and flask shallbe interchangeable ground
8、joints. The trap serves to collect andmeasure the condensed water and to return the solvent to theflask. A suitable assembly of the apparatus is illustrated in Fig.1.4.1.1 Flask, 500-mL, of either the short-neck, round-bottomtype or the Erlenmeyer type.4.1.2 Heat SourceThe source of heat may be eith
9、er an oilbath (stearic acid, paraffin wax, etc.), or an electric heaterprovided with a sliding rheostat or other means of heat control.4.1.3 Condenser, a water-cooled glass reflux condenser(Fig. 1), having a jacket approximately 400 mm (1534 in.) inlength with an inner tube 9.5 to 12.7 mm (38 to12 i
10、n.) inoutside diameter. The end of the condenser to be inserted in thetrap shall be ground off at an angle of 30 from the vertical axisof the condenser. When inserted into the trap, the tip of thecondenser shall be about 7 mm (14 in.) above the surface of theliquid in the trap after the distillation
11、 conditions have beenestablished. Fig. 1 shows a conventional sealed-in type ofcondenser, but any other condenser fulfilling the detailedrequirements above may be used.4.1.4 Trap, a trap made of well-annealed glass constructedin accordance with Fig. 1 and graduated as shown to contain 5mL at 20C. It
12、 shall be subdivided into 0.1-mL divisions, witheach 1-mL line numbered (5 mL at top). The error in anyindicated capacity may not be greater than 0.05 mL.5. Purity of Reagents5.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall r
13、eagents shall conform to the specifications of the Commit-tee onAnalytical Reagents of theAmerican Chemical Society.36. Reagents6.1 Oleic Acid, heated previous to use for 5 to 10 min overa free flame at a temperature of 130 to 135C.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D31 on

Calibration7.1 To calibrate the apparatus add approximately1gofwater to a mixture of 80 g
18、of xylene and 10 g of oleic acid.Conduct the distillation as described in 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4. Whenall the water has distilled, cool the apparatus, add another g ofwater, and repeat the distillation. Continue the calibration up tothe capacity of the receiving tube.8. Procedure8.1 Clean the condenser a
19、nd the receiving tube thoroughlywith soap and warm water before using. Rinse well, then treatwith hot cleaning solution (a mixture of 10 mL of saturatedpotassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and 990 mL of sulfuric acid(H2SO4, sp gr 1.84), and finally thoroughly wash and dry.8.2 Take enough of the sample to
20、be tested for analysis toyield about 4 mL of water. Introduce the approximate quantityinto a weighing bottle and make the weighings from the bottleinto the flask, taking care that after removal of the sample nodrops of oil are left on the outside of the weighing bottle. Add80 g of xylene and oleic a
21、cid equivalent to about two andone-half times the weight of the bone-dry sample to preventfoaming and jellying of the contents of the flask. Introduceglass beads to prevent bumping and mix the contents of theflask thoroughly by swirling, taking care to avoid any loss ofmaterial. Fill the trap with x
22、ylene and immediately connect theflask with the distillation apparatus. Insert a loose cotton plugin the top of the condenser tube to prevent condensation ofatmospheric moisture in the condenser tube.8.3 Heat the flask and regulate the heating so that thecondenser tube immediately below the water ja
23、cket is justbarely hot. In this way a minimum of water will condensefarther up the condenser where it may be difficult to volatilizeany moisture condensed on the walls.8.4 Continue the distillation at the specified rate untilpractically no water is visible on any part of the apparatusexcept within t
24、he graduations of the trap. This operationusually requires less than 1 h. Increase the rate of distillation inorder to remove all traces of condensed water in the condensertube, and continue the distillation until the water level in thetrap remains unchanged after a 10-min interval. Dislodge anydrop
25、lets adhering to the side of the receiver with a thin copperwire twisted into a loop. Immerse the receiving tube in warmwater at about 40C for 15 min or until the xylene layerbecomes clear, then read and record the temperature and theexact volume of the water in the trap.9. Calibration9.1 The volume
26、 of condensed water measured in the trapmay be converted into its equivalent weight in grams by meansof Table 1. Calculate the percentage of water as follows:Water, % 5 A/B! 3 100 (1)where:A = weight of water, g, andB = weight of sample, g.10. Precision and Bias10.1 Although this test method is wide
