6、necessary for the orderly manufacture,storage,transfer,and sale of the material.These tables are suitable foruse in these and similar aspects of butadiene commerce.TABLE 1 REDUCTION OF OBSERVED SPECIFIC GRAVITY TO SPECIFIC GRAVITY 15.6/15.6 C(60/60 F)This table gives values of specific gravity 15.6/
7、15.6 C(60/60 F)corresponding to specific gravities observed with a glass hydrometer at temperatures other than60 F.The expression“Observed Specific Gravity”appears in this table because it is the term most generally used in industry.For specific gravities determined byhydrometer,a more exact express
8、ion would be“hydrometer indication at the observed temperature.”This hydrometer indication differs slightly from the true specificgravity at the observed temperature owing to the expansion or contraction of the glass hydrometer when its temperature differs from its calibration temperature of60 F.It
9、is generally impracticable to determine a specific gravity at exactly 15.6 C(60 F)although it is at this temperature only that strictly correct results are obtainedwith a standard glass hydrometer.In converting an observed specific gravity at the observed temperature t F(hydrometer indication of spe
10、cific gravity t/60 F)to thecorresponding 60/60 F value,two corrections are possible.The first arises from the change in volume of the glass hydrometer with temperature,and the secondarises from the change in volume of the butadiene.This table takes into account only the change in volume of the butad
11、iene because the change in volume of thehydrometer is insignificant in comparison with the accuracy of the values for the change in volume of the butadiene.This table must be entered with specific gravities measured with a glass hydrometer calibrated at 15.6/15.6 C(60/60 F)ExampleIf the specific gra
12、vity observed on a hydrometer in butadiene at 40 F is 0.642,what is its specific gravity 60/60 F?Enter the table in the column for“Observed Specific Gravity,”headed 0.640,and note that against an“Observed Temperature”of 40 F,the correspondingspecific gravity 60/60 F is0.627Likewise,note that for 0.6
13、45 specific gravity opposite 40 F,the corresponding specific gravity 60/60 F is0.632This represents an increase of 0.005 in specific gravity 60/60 F for an increase of 0.005 in the value at 40 F.Therefore,by simple proportion,an increasein the specific gravity value noted at 40 F from 0.640 to 0.642
14、 increases the corresponding specific gravity 60/60 F by 0.4 0.005 or0.002Then,the specific gravity 60/60 F corresponding to the observed specific gravity of 0.642 at 40 F is 0.627+0.002 or0.6291These tables are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 on PetroleumProducts,Liquid Fuels,and Lubri
