Title
Standard Test Method for Volatility Rate by Thermogravimetry
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Mar 1, 2007
Scope:
This test method covers procedures for assessing the volatility
of solids and liquids at given temperatures using thermogravimetry
under prescribed experimental conditions. Results of this test
method are obtained as volatility rates expressed as mass per unit
time. Rates Greater than or equal to 5 µg/min are
achievable with this test method.
Temperatures typical for this test method are within the range
from 25°C to 500°C. This temperature range may differ depending
upon the instrumentation used.
This test method is intended to provide a value for the
volatility rate of a sample using a thermogravimetric analysis
measurement on a single representative specimen. It is the
responsibility of the user of this test method to determine the
need for and the number of repetitive measurements on fresh
specimens necessary to satisfy end use requirements.
Computer- or electronic-based instruments, techniques, or data
treatment equivalent to this test method may also be used.
NOTE 1—Users of this test method are expressly advised that all
such instruments or techniques may not be equivalent. It is the
responsibility of the user of this test method to determine the
necessary equivalency prior to use.
SI units are the standard.
There is no ISO method equivalent to this standard.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this test method to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
