1、Designation: D7724 11Standard Test Method forCarbon BlackNon-Dispersible Matter by MechanicalFlushing (NDM)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7724; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last
2、 revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of non-dispersible matter after mechanical water flushing of regularuntreated ca
3、rbon blacks. It may not be applicable to oil-treatedcarbon blacks because the oil would prevent proper wetting ofthe black by water.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to addres
4、s all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Test Me
6、thod3.1 A sample of carbon black is mechanically flushed withwater through a wire-mesh screen of a specified size until allthat remains is a non-dispersible matter of carbon black. Thenon-dispersible matter is dried, weighed, and the amount ofresidue is expressed as mg/kg (ppm) of the original sampl
7、e.4. Significance and Use4.1 The quantity of non-dispersible matter of carbon blackis important in some molded or extruded products as it mayrelate to the surface appearance of those products. The maxi-mum amount of non dispersible matter and the minimum sizeof the particles to be analyzed in each a

Procedure8.1 Prior to each test series adjust the water pressure to 4006 20 kPa in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.Make sure that only the spray
15、ing nozzle is operating whenpressure is adjusted.NOTE 1The pressure will drop when the cleaning nozzles are oper-ating in addition to the spraying nozzle.8.2 Attach the sieve to the apparatus in accordance with themanufacturers instructions and push the “flush” button for atleast 5 s. The water is f
16、lushed through the nozzles as long as the“flush” button is pushed.8.3 After releasing the “flush” button disassemble the sieveand examine the sieve for particles. If no particles are observedreattach the sieve.8.4 Weigh 500 6 5 g of the sample into a container andtransfer the sample quantitatively i
17、nto the cylinder of the testapparatus. Note the correct weight for the calculation of thenon dispersible matter.8.5 Press the “start” button and close the lid slowly whilethe spraying nozzle is rotating without any water flushing. Theflushing process will start automatically.8.6 Based on a predefine
18、d program the sample will beflushed through the sieve by the water spray nozzles. Fordetails refer to Fig. 1.8.7 A vacuum is applied periodically to keep the nondispersible particles immobilized on the sieve in order to washdispersible product from the non dispersible matter. Thevacuum application i
19、s also part of the automated process.8.8 The end of the test is indicated by a vacuum applicationwithout any water flowing. After that the measurement stops.8.9 Disassemble the sieve and dry in an oven at a tempera-ture of 125C for 1 h.8.10 Quantitatively transfer the non dispersible matter to atare
20、d weighing dish and weigh to the nearest 0.1 mg using theanalytical balance.9. Calculation9.1 Calculate the non-dispersible matter to the nearestmg/kg (ppm) as follows:R 5 W/S! 3 106(1)where:R = Non-dispersible matter (NDM), mg/kg (ppm),W = mass of sieve residue, g, andS = mass of sample, g.10.
