Designation:D151415Standard Test Method forCarbon BlackSieve Residue1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1514;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the 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.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the waterwash sieve residue in regular untreated carbon blacks.It maynot be applicable to oil-treated carbon blacks because the oilwould prevent proper wetting of the black by water.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values in parentheses are for information only.1.3 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 and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.For specificprecautionary statements,see Section 6.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D1799 Practice for Carbon BlackSampling PackagedShipmentsD1900 Practice for Carbon BlackSampling Bulk Ship-mentsD4483 Practice for Evaluating Precision for Test MethodStandards in the Rubber and Carbon Black ManufacturingIndustriesE11 Specification for Woven Wire Test Sieve Cloth and TestSieves3.Summary of Test Method3.1 A sample of carbon black is washed with water througha wire-mesh screen of a specified size until all that remains isa non-carbon black residue.This residue is dried,weighed,andthe amount of residue is expressed as mg/kg(ppm)of theoriginal sample.4.Significance and Use4.1 The quantity of sieve residue of carbon black is impor-tant in some molded or extruded products as it may relate to thesurface appearance of those products.The maximum residue ineach application is normally determined and agreed to betweenthe user and the producer.5.Apparatus5.1 Sieve and Filtering Apparatus,3,4as shown in Fig.1.5.2 Balance,with a sensitivity of 0.01 g.5.3 Analytical Balance,with a sensitivity of 0.1 mg.5.4 Oven,gravity-convection type,capable of temperatureregulation within 61C at 125C and temperature uniformitywithin 65C.5.5 Sieves,of either phosphor bronze or stainless steel.Thesieve shall be in accordance with Specification E11.The sieveto be used shall be agreed upon between the purchaser and theseller.5.6 Weighing Dishes.6.Precautions6.1 Keep the apparatus clean at all times to prevent con-tamination.6.2 Examine the sieves each time they are used to make surethat no cracks or holes have developed.6.3 Examine the strainer periodically to ascertain that thefilter screen is in good condition.7.Sampling7.1 Samples shall be taken in accordance with PracticeD1799 or Practice D1900.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D24 on CarbonBlack and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D24.31 on Non-CarbonBlack Components of Carbon Black.Current edition approved June 15,2015.Published August 2015.Originallyapproved in 1957.Last previous edition approved in 2011 as D1514 04(2011).DOI:10.1520/D1514-15.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Sieve and filtering apparatus,available from Titan Specialties,Inc.,P.O.Box2316,Pampa,TX 70066-2316,has been found suitable.The A2000 Test Set fromKrahnen IQS,GmbH,Paffrather Str.1315,D-51069 Koeln,Germany,has beenfound suitable.An ASTM specified apparatus modified with an enlarged funnel legID(5.080 cm or 2.0 in.)and sieve screen OD(6.032 cm or 2.375 in.)has also beenfound suitable.4The sole source of supply of housing No.20 and cartridge No.30 known to thecommittee at this time is Amtek,Plymouth Products Division,562 Indiana Ave.,Sheboygan,WI 53081.If you are aware of alternative suppliers,please provide thisinformation to ASTM International Headquarters.Your comments will receivecareful consideration at a meeting of the responsible technical committee,1whichyou may attend.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 8.Calibration8.1 Calculate the sieve residue to the nearest mg/kg(ppm)as follows:R 5W/S!3106(1)where:R=sieve residue,mg/kg(ppm),W=mass of sieve residue,g,andS=mass of sample,g.9.Procedure9.1 Prior to making a test,clean the strainer by openingvalves A and B and closing valve C as shown in Fig.1.Allowthe strainer to wash for 2 min.9.2 Close valve B and open valve C.With valves A and Ccompletely open,regulate the water pressure by means of areducing valve.The recommended water pressure is 207 6 34kPa(30 6 5 lbf/in.2).9.3 After the water pressure has been regulated,attach thesieve holder with a 50-mm(2-in.)diameter sieve to the funneland allow the water
