6、ochloric acid.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The isocyanate is mixed with an excess of methanol anda cosolvent. Additional acid is released into the solvent systemduring urethane formation. The acid then is titrated potentio-metrically with methanolic KOH, and the acidity present in theisocyanate samp
7、le is calculated from the titer.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method can be used for research or for qualitycontrol to characterize aromatic isocyanates and prepolymersof moderate to high acidity. Acidity correlates with perfor-mance in some polyurethane systems.6. Apparatus6.1 250-mL Beakers

15、 dried for 24 hover molecular sieves.7.3 Anhydrous Methanol.8. Sampling8.1 Since organic isocyanates react with atmospheric mois-ture, take special precautions in sampling. (WarningOrganicisocyanates are toxic when they are absorbed through the skinor when the vapors are breathed.) (WarningProvide a
16、d-equate ventilation and wear protective gloves and eyeglasses.)Usual sampling methods, for example, sampling with an opendrum thief, even when carried out rapidly, can cause contami-nation of the sample with insoluble urea. Therefore, blanket thesample with dry air or nitrogen at all times.9. Calib
17、ration9.1 Calibrate the electrodes using pH 4 and pH 7 aqueousbuffer.10. Test Conditions10.1 Since isocyanates react with moisture, keep laboratoryhumidity low, preferably around 50 % relative humidity.11. Procedure11.1 All samples should be done in duplicate.11.2 Accurately weigh to the nearest 1 m
18、g, 10 g of sampleinto a 250-mL beaker.11.3 Add 50 mL of dried toluene or TCB dried overmolecular sieves.NOTE 3If this test method is used for prepolymers, substitute THF asthe solvent.11.4 Add 100 mL of methanol into the solution.11.5 Add a stir bar, cover with a watch glass, and stir for 20min.NOTE
19、 4Samples must be at room temperature before titration. Warmsamples cause more frequent electrode clogging.11.6 Titrate the mixture with 0.02 N methanolic KOHthrough the titration end point between apparent pH 4 and 9 asdetermined potentiometrically.NOTE 5If results indicate a drift in the data or a
20、 slow electroderesponse, the pH electrode should be cleaned by soaking in 2:1 sulfuric:nitric acids for 10 min, followed by soaking in water for 20 min, and thenrinsing with acetone.11.7 Record the titrant volume for the potentiometric endpoint. If more than one potentiometric end point is found,rec
21、ord the one at highest apparent pH less than 7.NOTE 6The inflection point typically is at apparent pH between 4 and5.11.7.1 If no clear end point can be identified, calculateresults using the end point at apparent pH 7.0, and report theresult as acidity at apparent pH 7.0.12. Calculation12.1 Calcula
22、te the acidity as ppm HCl as follows:Acidity ppm HCl! 5Vsam!3N 3 Fsample weight g!#(1)where:Vsam = volume of titrant needed for the sample, mL,N = normality of the titrant solution, andF=36465= 36.465 (mol weight of HCl) 3 1000 (factorto change mg/g to g/g, that is, ppm).13. Report13.1 The result is
23、 reported as the average of duplicates,expressed as ppm HCl, to the nearest 1 ppm. Any unusualconditions during the operation also should be reported, suchas any heating required to effect solution before titration, orend point identified different from that described in 11.7.14. Precision and Bias1
24、4.1 Table 1 is based on a round robin conducted in 1995 inaccordance with Practice E 180, involving twelve laboratories.For each material, all the samples were prepared at one source,but the individual specimens were prepared at the laboratoriesthat tested them. Some laboratories generated a set of
25、resultsfor each of two solvents (toluene and TCB), and somelaboratories generated a set of results for each of two differentelectrode types. Neither change in experimental conditions wasfound to be a significant source of increased variability. Eachof these combinations of conditions was treated as
26、a differentlaboratory for purposes of calculating the precision data. Eachtest result was the average of two individual determinations.Each laboratory obtained two test results for each material foreach combination of electrode and solvent used. (WarningThe following explanations of r and R (14.1.1
27、and 14.1.3) areintended only to present a meaningful way of considering theapproximate precision of this test method. The data in Table 1should not be applied rigorously to the acceptance or rejectionof material, as those data are specific to the round robin andmay not be representative of other lot
28、s, conditions, materials,or laboratories. Users of the test method should apply theprinciples outlined in Practice E 691 or E 180 to generate dataspecific to their laboratory and materials, or between specificlaboratories. The principles of 14.1.1 through 14.1.3 thenwould be valid for such data.)14.
