5、 for Carbon BlackSurface Area byMultipoint B.E.T.Nitrogen Adsorption23.Significance and Use3.1 These test methods are used to measure the externalsurface area of carbon black.These techniques are based on thestatistical thickness method using a carbon black model.Theexternal surface area is defined
6、as the specific surface area thatis accessible to rubber.The external surface area excludes themicropore area,pore diameters less than 20 A.4.Apparatus4.1 Multipoint Static-Volumetric Gas Adsorption Apparatus,with Dewar flasks and all other accessories required foroperation.4.2 Sample Cellsthat,when
7、 attached to the adsorptionapparatus,will maintain isolation of the sample from theatmosphere equivalent to a helium leak rate of 105cm3/min,per atmosphere of pressure difference.4.3 Analytical Balance,with 0.1 mg sensitivity.4.4 Heating Mantle or Equivalent,capable of maintaining atemperature of 30

9、gas.6.Sampling6.1 Samples shall be taken in accordance with PracticeD 1799 and Practice D 1900.7.Sample Preparation Procedure7.1 Dry a portion of the carbon black to be tested at 125Cfor 1 h.If the carbon black is known to be substantially free ofmoisture,or subsequent preparation steps are known to
10、 beadequate for moisture removal,then this step may be omitted.7.2 Weigh a sample cell to the nearest 0.1 mg and record themass.7.3 Weigh into the cell approximately 0.4 g of the carbonblack to be tested.NOTE1For carbon black powder samples,add enough carbon blackto give a depth of approximately 2 i

12、l and degas the sample at 300 6 10C for12hor longer to ensure that all traces of moisture condensing in thetop of the tube are absent.7.4.3 Once the typical degassing times have been deter-mined,future samples can be degassed on the basis of timealone,if desired,allowing a reasonable margin of exces
13、s time.Some samples will be found to require less than12h,especiallyif moisture exposure has been minimal.In these cases,theminimum time that gives a stable surface area may be used fordegassing.1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D-24 onCarbon Black and are the direct r
