9、ethod for Carbon BlackTotal and ExternalSurface Area by Nitrogen Adsorption3.Significance and Use3.1 This test method is used to measure the surface area ofprecipitated,hydrated silicas that is available to the nitrogenmolecule using the multipoint(B.E.T.)method.3.2 Solids adsorb nitrogen and,under
10、specific conditions,the adsorbed molecules approach a monomolecular layer.Thequantity in this hypothetical monomolecular layer is calculatedusing the BET equation.Combining this with the area occupiedby the nitrogen molecule yields the total surface area of thesolid.3.3 This test method measures the
11、 estimated quantity ofnitrogen in the monomolecular layer by adsorption at liquidnitrogen temperature and at several(at least five)partialpressures of nitrogen.3.4 Before a surface area determination can be made it isnecessary that the silica be stripped of any material which mayalready be adsorbed
12、on the surface.The stripping of adsorbedforeign material eliminates two potential errors.The first error1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D11 on Rubberand Rubber-like Materials and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D11.20on Compounding Materials and Procedures.
