The work of preparing International Standards is
21、normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part
22、in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to pre
23、pare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that
24、some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 4625-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 35, Paints and varnishes, Subcommittee SC 10, Test methods for binders for paints and varn
25、ishes, in collaboration with ASTM D01.34, Naval Stores. It has been harmonized with ASTM D 6090-99, Standard Test Method for Softening Point of Resins (Mettler Cup and Ball Method).ISO 4625 consists of the following parts, under the general title Binders for paints and varnishes Determination of sof

27、g point of resins (including rosin) by means of a cup-and-ball apparatus and can, under user-defined conditions, give results comparable to those obtained using the ring-and-ball method (ISO 4625-1). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of t

ISO 4625-1, Binders for paints and varnishes Determination of softening point Part 1: Ring-and-ball methodISO 5725-1, Accuracy
29、 (trueness and precision) of measurement methods and results Part 1: General principles and definitions3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1softening point temperature at which a test sample in a cylindrical cup with a 6,35 mm hole
30、in the bottom, with a stainless-steel ball 8,7 mm in diameter centred on top of the test sample in the cup, flows downward a distance of 19 mm to interrupt a light beam as the test sample is heated at a constant rate in air 4 Principle In general, with materials of the types mentioned in Clause 1, s
31、oftening does not take place at a definite temperature. As the temperature rises, these materials gradually change from brittle or exceedingly thick and slow-flowing materials to softer and less viscous liquids. For this reason, the determination of the softening point must be made by a fixed, close
32、ly defined method if the results obtained are to be comparable. A test sample, with the ball on it, is placed in a cup and heated at a specified rate. The softening test sample is forced downwards by the weight of the ball. The temperature at which the test sample has sunk by 19 mm is called the sof
33、tening point. EN ISO 46252:200625 Apparatus 5.1 Softening point apparatus1), consisting of a control unit with a digital temperature indicator, matched measuring cell, cartridge assembly (cup and upper portion) and accessories. The control unit automatically regulates the heating rate of the measuri
34、ng cell. The softening point is indicated on the readout, and the heating programme is stopped, when the test sample flow triggers a photocell detector. Further details are given in 5.1.1 to 5.1.4. 5.1.1 Central processor, capable of regulating the heating rate to provide a continuous, linear increa
35、se in temperature from 25 C to 375 C. 5.1.2 Measuring cell, capable of heating the cup assembly (5.4) at a constant rate with an accuracy of r 0,2 C/min. It shall include a sensing system capable of detecting the softening point with a precision of 0,1 C. 5.1.3 Cup assembly, made of chromium-plated
36、brass, consisting of the cup itself and an upper portion, conforming to the dimensions shown in Figure 1. 5.1.4 Ball, made of stainless steel, 8,7 mm in diameter and weighing (2,77 r 0,22) g. Dimensions in millimetres Figure 1 Cup 1) The apparatus is available commercially. Details may be obtained f
37、rom the Secretariat of ISO/TC 35/SC 10. EN ISO 46252:200636 Calibration of apparatus using a primary standard6.1 General This step, required only occasionally, is designed to establish that the temperature indicated by the instrument is in agreement with a known standard. A special cup with a bottom
38、 orifice of 2,8 mm is used instead of the one specified for testing the resin. NOTE The stainless-steel ball is not used during calibration. 6.2 ReagentUse either analytical reagent or primary standard grade benzoic acid for the calibration. As this material is hygroscopic, store it in a tightly sea
39、led container and replace it with fresh material from a newly opened supply if the softening point of the material is out of the expected range. 6.3 Procedure 6.3.1 Filling the cup Place the cup on a clean, flat surface and fill it with benzoic acid crystals. Hand press the material into the cup wit
40、h a 9,2 mm rod of dowel stock or equivalent. Refill and repeat the compression step until the cup is filled with benzoic acid. Remove any crystals from the exterior of the cup. 6.3.2 Heating Preheat the measuring cell to 121 C, and maintain it at that temperature. Place the cartridge assembly contai
41、ning the benzoic acid in position in the measuring cell, taking care that the slits for the light beam are properly positioned. With the instrument set in the dropping-point mode, start the required method, which includes a waiting period of 30 s to allow temperature equilibration between the measur
42、ing cell and benzoic acid followed by an automatic temperature ramp of 0,2 C/min. The temperature will rise steadily at the correct rate until the drop point is reached, then remain steady on the readout. 6.3.3 Cleaning Immediately remove the cartridge assembly. Check to determine that benzoic acid
43、has passed through the light beam and no pre-triggering has occurred. If a malfunction is suspected, repeat the entire procedure. Inspect the apparatus carefully to ensure that no residue remains. Wash the cartridge parts with a suitable solvent to remove last traces of residue. 6.3.4 Interpretation
44、 If the result is not (123,5 r 0,5) C, repeat the determination. If the second value remains outside the acceptable range, repeat the determination using a fresh cup-full of benzoic acid. If the results remain outside the acceptable range, the instrument requires recalibration or repair. Consult the
45、 manufacturers instruction manual. 7 Instrument check of apparatus using a secondary standardThe primary calibration standard, benzoic acid, might not have a dropping point similar to the softening point of the resin being tested. In such cases, it is desirable to calibrate the instrument using a se
46、condary standard having a dropping point similar to that of the resin being tested. Materials suitable for use as secondary standards are listed, but are not limited to, those in Table 1. Demonstration of conformance to the dropping point of benzoic acid shall be completed before a secondary standar
47、d is used.

Place the dish and resin on a preheated hot-plate, and cover with a 600 ml or larger beaker. Heat the resin until it is almost melted. Remove the beaker from the hot-plate, grasp the tab with forceps or needle-nose pliers, and stir the resin with a probe-type thermometer until it is completely melted and homogeneous. Avoid entraining air in the resin melt. The te
