Summary of Test Method4.1 Thin, narrow strips of the dried
8、rubber are extractedthree times with 100 cm3of hot solvent for 10, 20, and 40-minperiods, respectively. The extracted rubber is then extracted for5 min in 100 cm3of hot acetone to thoroughly remove theextraction solvent and aid drying of the rubber. The extractedrubber is then dried to constant mass
9、. The difference in massbetween the original sample and the extracted sample is thetotal extractables.5. Significance and Use5.1 This procedure is intended to determine the total ex-tractable materials in rubber. It will give the combined amountof rosin and fatty acids, soaps, extender oils, defoame
10、r tars,antioxidants, and other uncombined organic constituents thatare extractable in the solvent used. The rubber hydrocarbon canbe estimated by subtracting the sum of the total extract, thetotal ash, the volatile matter, and carbon black content (forcarbon black masterbatch) from 100.6. Apparatus6

Preparation of Sample8.1 Dry the sample in accordance with the proceduredescribed in 8.1.1 or 8.1.2.8.1.1 Weigh
18、 a piece of rubber (at least 450 g) to the nearest0.1 g. Pass the rubber repeatedly through a laboratory mill,with the rolls of the mill maintained at 100 6 5C (212 6 9F)and the distance between the rolls at 0.25 6 0.05 mm (0.010 60.002 in.), as determined by a lead slug. Do not allow therubber to b
19、and, and take care to prevent any loss of sample. Atthe end of 4 min, weigh the rubber to the nearest 0.1 g. Pass therubber through the mill for an additional 2 min, and reweigh it.If the weights at the end of the 4 and 6-min periods are within0.1 g, calculate the volatile matter; if not, continue p
20、assing thesample through the mill for 2-min periods until the weightremains constant within 0.1 g.8.1.2 Sheet out the rubber (at least 250 g) on a laboratorymill, with the distance between the rolls set at 0.25 6 0.05 mm(0.010 6 0.002 in.), as determined by a lead slug, and thetemperature of the rol

Place in aforced-circulation oven set at 100 6 5C (212 6 9F) so thatboth surfaces of the sheet are exposed to the draft.

25、 mesh, 5.2 mil wire diameter) or of polyester monofilament screencloth4that has been previously extracted with the solvent being used.Remove any excess rubber that extends beyond the edge of the screen.Accurately weigh the prepared rubber and screen. After the test iscompleted, the rubber can be bur
26、ned off within a muffle furnace and thestainless steel screen can be reused.(b)Cut5to6gofthesheet into squares approximately 38 by 38 mm(1.5 by 1.5 in.) and weigh between two 50-mm (2-in.) squares ofpolypropylene screen5that previously has been extracted in the solventbeing used.9.

Precision and Bias611.1 The precision results for these test m
36、ethods wereoriginally derived from an interlaboratory test program (ITP)conducted prior to the adoption of Practice D 4483 as thereference precision standard for Committee D11 test methodsand therefore was not conducted according to the guidelines setforth in Practice D 4483. However, the results of
37、 that ITP havebeen translated into Practice D 4483 precision expressionformat and are given in this section. See Practice D 4483 forterminology and other statistical calculation details.11.2 The precision results in this precision and bias sectiongive an estimate of the precision of the test method
38、with thematerials used in the particular ITP as described in 11.3. Theprecision parameters should not be used for acceptance orrejection testing of any group of materials without documen-tation that they are applicable to those materials and thespecific testing protocols of the test method.11.3 The
39、Type 1 precision is based on a program thatemployed three materials (rubbers), with tests on each of twodays by eight laboratories. A test result is the average of twodeterminations. The precision data are given in Table 1.11.4 Bias is the difference between an average test value andthe reference (t
40、rue) test property value. Reference values donot exist for this test method; therefore, bias cannot beevaluated.TEST METHOD BORGANIC ACID12. Summary of Test Method12.1 Thin narrow strips of the dried rubber prepared asdescribed in 8.1 and 8.2 are accurately weighed to secure about6 g. The polymer st
41、rips are extracted twice in hot extractionsolvent. The solvent extracts and rinsings are combined in a250-cm3volumetric flask and made up to volume with freshsolvent.
