1、Designation:D168619Standard Test Method forColor of Solid Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Related Materialsin the Molten State(Platinum-Cobalt Scale)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1686;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the
2、case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers the visual measurement of thecolor of thermally stable solids melting
3、 below 150C.It isapplicable only to materials in which the color-producingbodies present have light absorption characteristics quite simi-lar to those of the standards used.The scope of this methodcovers the range of calibration which is 0 to 100 Pt-Co color.1.2 In determining the conformance of the
4、 test results usingthis method to applicable specifications,results shall berounded off in accordance with the rounding-off method ofPractice E29.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.Weight%should be used rather th
5、an Mass%.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to

10、lids.This test method is suitable for setting specifications and foruse as an internal quality control tool.4.Apparatus4.1 Color Comparison TubesMatched 100-mL,tall-formNessler tubes,provided with ground-on,optically clear,glasscaps.Tubes should be selected so that the height of the 100-mLgraduation
11、 mark is 300 6 3 mm above the bottom of the tube.The use of heat-resistant tubes is preferred for safety reasons.4.2 Color ComparatorA color comparator constructed topermit visual comparison of light transmitted through tall-form,100-mL Nessler tubes in the direction of their longitu-dinal axes.The
12、comparator should be constructed so that whitelight is reflected off a white plate and directed with equalintensity through the tubes,and should be shielded so that nolight enters the tubes from the side.4.3 OvenAn oven,preferably of the forced draft type andcapable of maintaining a constant tempera
