6、in are based on material conditioned in a controlled atmosphere of 23 +/- 2 C and 50 +/- 5 % relative humidity for not less than 24 h prior to testing and tested under the same conditions unless otherwise specified. Procedure 1. Combine 50.0 mL of Methyl Red solution and 50.0 mL of Bromocresol Green
7、 Note: It may be necessary to heat the solutions to assure that all the material is in solution prior to combining the solutions. 2. Prepare a neutralized sodium fluoride slurry by adding 100.0 g of sodium fluoride to 950 mL of distilled water in a 1 L bottle. Then add 2 to 3 mL of the Methyl Red/B
8、romocresol Green solution from step 1 and mix thoroughly. 3. Add 1 N hydrochloric acid to the sodium fluoride slurry from step 2 to obtain the gray/green color indicating neutrality. Note: The pH of this solution may drift and therefore must be checked and adjusted, if necessary, for neutrality befo

Pipet 25 mL of the sealer solution to be tested into a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask and add one drop of Methyl Orange indicator. 5. Titrate the solution from step 4 with standardized 1 N hydro
10、chloric acid to a burned orange color endpoint. Record the titer volume (“C“) to the nearest 0.05 mL and retain this sample for use in step 6. 6. Add 75 mL of neutralized sodium fluoride from step 3 to the titrated solution of step 5. 7. Add 7 drops of the Methyl Red/Bromocresol Green indicator and
11、mix well. 8. Titrate the solution from step 7 with standardized 1 N hydrochloric acid to a burned orange color endpoint. Record the titer volume (“A“) to the nearest 0.05 mL. Note: A burned orange endpoint that drifts slowly to the gray indicates that additional sodium fluoride slurry is required. I
12、f needed, add 25 mL additional slurry and titrate as above to a permanent endpoint. 9. Back-titrate the sample from step 8 with standardized 1 N sodium hydroxide to a green endpoint. Record the titer volume (“B“) to the nearest 0.05 mL. Calculations Silicate/Hydroxide Ratio = 0.286 x ( (A x N HC1) -
