5.2.4 Test procedures

5.2.4.1 Calibration of density bottle 5.2.4.1.1 Determination of density bottle mass (m2). First, soak the density bottle in a saturated solution of potassium dichromate in concentrated sulfuric acid for (1 ~ 2) hours; then take it out (if it is a new density bottle or it has not been used many times, inject hydrochloric acid solution to 2/3 of the bottle and boil it on a sand bath for more than 30 minutes); use water to rinse it; then use absolute ethanol and acetone to wash it respectively; use detergent powder to clean the outer wall of the bottle. Finally, use distilled water to clean the inner wall of the bottle; place it in a drying oven and dry it at 120 °C ± 5 °C for 2 h; take it out and place it in a desiccator; cool it to room temperature; weigh it with the reading accurate to 0.000 1 g. Repeat the above operation by using distilled water to clean the inner and outer walls of the bottle several times and measure its mass. The weighing error shall be within 0.000 4 g for at least three times. Take the average value as the density bottle mass, which is m2. 5.2.4.1.2 Determination of density bottle water value (mass m3 of density bottle plus distilled water). Fill bubble-free distilled water into the density bottle in 5.2.4.1.1 (distilled water can be boiled before use) and place it together with the dropping bottle in a constant temperature water bath. The water level in the water bath shall be slightly above the scale line of the density bottle or level with the bottle mouth of the capillary density bottle. Keep the temperature at (25 ± 0.2) °C for 20 minutes. When the scale line of the density bottle is not exposed above the water surface, use a filter paper roll or a dropping bottle to suck out or add distilled water in the density bottle so that the liquid level is accurately at the scale line; wipe the inner wall above the liquid level clean (if a capillary density bottle is used, the stopper shall be immediately covered). Take out the density bottle; use a clean absorbent towel to carefully wipe the outside of the density bottle; quickly weigh its mass with the reading accurate to 0.000 1 g. Repeatedly inject distilled water and measure its mass according to the above operation. The weighing error of the density bottle water value shall be no more than 0.002 4 g for at least 3 times. Take the average value, which is the density bottle water value, that is, m3. 5.2.4.1.3 The density bottle water value shall be calibrated every three months. If the frequency of use is low, it can be delayed appropriately.

5.2.4.2 Determination of true density of test sample 5.2.4.2.1 Determination of true density of test sample wettable by distilled water Weigh 3 g of the sample as m4, with the reading accurate to 0.000 2 g; place it in a clean density bottle; fill bubble-free distilled water (distilled water can be boiled before use) to 2/3 of the bottle and boil for 3 minutes; do not allow the sample to splash out at this time. After removing the bottle, inject bubble-free distilled water (distilled water can be boiled before use) to a level slightly above the scale line or to the same level as the mouth of the capillary density bottle. Put it together with the dropping bottle injected with distilled water into a constant temperature water bath. The water surface of the water bath shall be slightly higher than the scale line of the density bottle. Keep at (25±0.2) °C for more than 30 minutes. When the scale line on the density bottle is not exposed above the water surface, use a filter paper roll or a dropping bottle to adjust the distilled water level to the scale line and wipe the inner wall above the liquid surface (if using a capillary density bottle, the stopper shall be covered immediately). After taking it out, use a clean and absorbent towel to wipe the outside of the bottle carefully and quickly weigh its mass, which is m5. 5.2.4.2.2 Determination of true density of test sample wettable by absolute ethanol Weigh 3 g of the test sample, which is m4; read the value to the nearest 0.000 2 g; place it in a dry density bottle.
