30、 be health hazardous. Avoid contact with skin atall times.)8. Hazards8.1 Safety HazardsIt is assumed that anyone using thistest method will either be fully trained and familiar with allnormal laboratory practices, or will be under the direct super-vision of such a person. It is the responsibility of
31、 the operatorto ensure that all local legislative and statutory requirementsare met.8.2 (WarningThough the test method calls for a draft-free area, the exhaust fumes from the evaporating oil must beventilated to an outside source. Precaution shall be taken toavoid any possibility of fire or explosio
32、n.)NOTE 3One way to achieve a draftfree environment and greatersafety in operation for the instruments used in this test method is describedin Appendix X3.8.3 An alternate means for preventing draft described inAppendix X3 was not used in the development of the testmethod precision statement.4The so
33、le source of supply of Woods metal known to the committee at this timeis Sigma-Aldrich, Customer Support, P.O. Box 14508, St. Louis, MO 63178. If youare aware of alternative suppliers, please provide this information to ASTMInternational Headquarters. Your comments will receive careful consideration

Preparation of Apparatus9.1 Astandard assembly of the apparatus is shown in Fig. 5.To avoid disturbing the thermal equilibrium, the apparatusshall be ass
35、embled in a draftfree area and comply with Fig. 5in dimensions and apparatus. (See 8.2.)9.2 Add sufficient Woods metal or equivalent material to therecesses of the heating block so that, with the crucible andthermometer in place, the remaining spaces will be filled withthe molten metal.9.3 Using the
36、 highest heating rate possible, raise the tem-perature of the heating block until the Woods metal is molten.Insert the thermometers with their bulbs touching the bottom ofthe recesses, and ensure that the contact thermometer isplugged in the back of the heating block. Adjust the powersupplied to the
37、 heating block so that the temperature can bemaintained at 250 6 0.5C.9.4 Assemble the remaining apparatus, less the crucible, asshown in Fig. 5.9.5 Place an empty crucible in the heating block, securingthe flange under the screw heads against the buoyancy of theWoods metal. The level of the molten
38、metal should be such thata trace of it can be seen at the flange of the crucible and the topof the heating block.9.6 Check that the readings can be obtained on the manom-eter scale, or other measuring device, by connecting thecrucible to the assembled apparatus. A reading of 20.0 6 0.2mm shall be ob
39、tained.9.7 Disconnect and remove the crucible from the assembledapparatus.9.8 Switch off the pump and the heating block and raise thecrucible and the thermometers from the molten Woods metal.Using the brush, return any Woods metal clinging to thecrucible to the heating block.9.9 Clean the Y-piece an
40、d glass tubing to prevent a build upof condensate.10. Verification10.1 Switch on the pump and the heating block and ensurethat the apparatus is assembled, minus the crucible, as shownin Fig. 5.10.2 Check that the crucible and cover are free from lacquer.10.2.1 After every test, clean the crucible an
41、d cover withsolvent and allow to dry. Stubborn lacquer can be cleaned byabrasion from a glass beader under pressure.10.3 Pass the reamer through each of the three nozzles in thecover to ensure that they are clear. (WarningUsing a reamerwith a diameter larger than 2 mm can enlarge the nozzles. Thisca
42、n lead to higher losses because of increased air flow.)10.4 Run the ball bearing through the extraction tube toensure that it is clear of dirt.NOTEAll dimensions in millilitres.FIG. 2 CrucibleNOTEAll dimensions in millilitres.FIG. 3 CoverD580008410.5 Weigh the empty crucible without its cover to the
43、nearest 0.01 g.10.6 Weigh into the crucible 65.0 6 0.1 g of the ReferenceOil.10.7 Screw on the cover using the clamp and spanner.10.8 Ensure the temperature of the heating block is at 250 60.5C. Place the crucible in its recess in the heating block,securing the flange under the screw heads against t
44、he buoyancyof the Woods metal. Switch the control of the heating block tocompensate for the heat capacity of the crucible. Immediately(in less than 5 s), connect the extraction tube of the crucible tothe arm of the glass Y-piece, making a butt joint. Simulta-neously, start the pump and the stopwatch
45、 and adjust the bleedvalve to give a pressure differential of 20 6 0.2 mm.NOTE 4When the crucible is in the test position, its flange should beflush with the top of the heating block. Any protrusion of the crucibleflange above the heating block may suggest a buildup of Woods metal slagat the bottom
46、of the heating block recess. The heating block and thethermometer recesses should be cleaned and the Woods metal replaced ona regular basis to avoid the accumulation of slag. Oxidized Woods metalwill affect the heat transfer to the crucible and hence may have adeleterious effect on the results obtai
47、ned.10.9 Adjust the control on the heating block to maintain theblock temperature approximately 5C below the test tempera-ture. Readjust the temperature control so that the test tempera-ture is reestablished within 3 min of the start of the test.NOTE 5Temperature and pressure will be controlled auto
48、maticallywhen automated equipment is used.10.10 At the start of the test, constant attention shall be paidto maintaining the correct pressure. Once this becomes steady,usually within 10 to 15 min, check periodically that thetemperature and pressure differential remain constant through-out the period
49、 of the test.10.11 After 60 min 6 5 s, lift the crucible from the heatingblock, remove any adhering alloy, and place the crucible in awarm water bath to a depth of at least 30 mm. The time periodfrom the end of the test to immersion of the crucible shall notexceed 60 s.10.12 After 30 min, remove the crucible from the water, drythe outside, and carefully remove the lid.10.13 Reweigh the crucible without the lid to the nearest0.01 g.10.14 Calculate to the nearest 0.1 % mass/mass (M/M) theevaporation loss of the reference oil.10.15 Compare the result ob
