6、ringIndustries3.Summary of Test Method3.1 A sample of carbon black is compressed four times in acompression cylinder at a pressure of 165 MPa(24 000 psi)and then tested in an absorptometer to determine the oilabsorption number.3.2 n-Dibutyl phthalate,paraffin,or EFA oil is added bymeans of a constan
7、t-rate buret to the compressed sample ofcarbon black in the mixer chamber of an absorptometer.As thesample absorbs the oil,the mixture changes from a free-flowing state to one of a semiplastic agglomeration,with anaccompanying increase in viscosity.This increased viscosity istransmitted to the torqu
8、e-sensing system of the absorptometer.When the viscosity of the mixture reaches a predeterminedtorque level,the absorptometer and buret will simultaneouslyshut off.The volume of oil added is read from the directreading buret.The volume of oil per unit mass of carbon blackis the oil absorption number
9、.Either DBP,paraffin,or EFA oilis acceptable for use with many standard pelleted grades ofN-series carbon blacks found in Classification D1765.COANtesting using paraffin or EFA oil on some specialty blacks andpowder blacks may result in significant differences whencompared to COAN testing using DBP
