Accelerator Test Nitrite and Peroxide Type Before testing for the amount of accele
14、rator, dip a strip of iron test paper in phosphate solution. If the paper turns pink, it is an indication that no accelerator is present. Small additions of accelerator should be made to the phosphate solution tank until no change in colour of a fresh indicator paper occurs. When no change in colour
15、 of the test paper appears, proceed to determine the amount of accelerator as follows: 1. Pipette 50 mL of the filtered phosphate solution into a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask. 2. Add 10 mL of 50 % H2SO4 solution. 3. Titrate with standard 0.1 N KMnO4 drop by drop while swirling, until a persistent pink co

Tilt apparatus to release entrapped air from the calibrated closed end. Add sufficient phosphate solution to fill the tube
17、again. 3. Add approximately 4 grams of sulphamic acid crystals and immediately invert the tube so that most of the sulphamic acid runs into the calibrated closed end of the tube. 4. Place the tube in its cradle in an upright position and leave for one minute. Gas volume evolved = Total Accelerator V
