Reagents and Materials8.1 Specific heat capacity standard: synthetic sapphire disk,10 to 100 mg.NOTE 3Interlaboratory studies indicate tha
24、t physical forms of thesynthetic sapphire other than disks give lower precision and greater biasin the results.9. Hazards9.1 Safety PrecautionsIf a specimen is heated to decom-position, toxic or corrosive products may be released.9.2 Technical Precautions:9.2.1 The same heating rate should be used f
25、or both thecalibration and specimen runs.9.2.2 Precision of heating rate, placement of the specimenholder, use of flat specimen holders, and the establishment ofequilibrium are essential. Instrument settings should not beadjusted once a specific heat capacity calibration has beenperformed.10. Sampli
26、ng10.1 Powdered or granular specimens should be mixed priorto sampling and should be sampled by removing portions fromvarious parts of the container.These portions, in turn, should becombined and mixed to ensure a representative specimen forthe determinations.10.2 Liquid specimens may be sampled dir
27、ectly after stir-ring. Make sure the crucible is as full as possible if the sampleis water or aqueous. Do not exceed the pressure limit for thecrucible.10.3 Solid specimens may be sampled by cutting or slicingwith a clean knife or razor blade. Sample uniformity should beascertained, since segregatio
28、n within the solid is possible.NOTE 4Solid specimens should be so sampled as to maximize contactwith the surface of the specimen holder.10.4 Samples are usually analyzed as received. If some heator mechanical treatment is applied to the specimen prior toanalysis, this treatment should be noted in th
29、e report.11. Calibration11.1 Specific heat capacity is a quantitative measurement ofenergy made as a function of temperature. Thus, the instrumentused in its measurement must be calibrated in both thetemperature and heat flow modes. Since specific heat capacityis not a rapidly changing function of t
30、emperature, the instru-ments temperature mode is ordinarily calibrated and checkedonly occasionally. The heat flow information, however, ismuch more critical and becomes an integral part of the specificheat capacity measurement through the use of a referencematerial.11.2 Perform any calibration proc
31、edures described by themanufacturer in the operations manual.11.3 Perform a temperature calibration for the apparatususing Practice E967.11.4 Perform a heat flow calibration for the apparatus usingPractice E968.11.5 Heat Flow Calibration:11.5.1 Synthetic sapphire disk (a-aluminum oxide; alu-mina) is
32、 recommended as a heat flow calibration standard forspecific heat capacity measurements for both heating andcooling experiments. Specific heat capacity values for syn-thetic sapphire are given in Table 1.NOTE 5It is possible to use other standard materials or other physicalforms of synthetic sapphir
33、e, but their use should be noted in the report.The potential adverse impact of increased interfacial resistance encoun-tered with granular/textured samples may be minimized with the use of apowdered synthetic sapphire standard. It is preferred that the physicalform of the sample be similar to that o

Synthetic sapphireis usually available from your DSC supplier.E1269 11211.5.2 The heat flow calibration may be performed at someregular interval or prior to every specific heat capacity deter-mination or test specimens.NOTE 6A frequency of calibration of at least once a day is recom-
35、mended. Other time intervals may be selected for heat flow calibration butshould be noted in the report.11.5.3 If the heat flow calibration is performed at a regularinterval, the calorimetric sensitivity, E, may be calculated usingthe specific heat capacity values for synthetic sapphire given inTabl
