2、ion.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 carbon blacks
3、.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 address all of thes
4、afety 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.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D1799 Practice for Carbon BlackSa

15、essure will drop when the cleaning nozzles areoperating 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 flushed through the nozzles as long as the“flush”button is pushed.8
16、.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 into 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 automaticall
