(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Carbon Black—Carbon Content
Standard Test Method for Carbon Black—Carbon Content
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 The total carbon content of a carbon black is a requirement for the calculation and reporting of carbon dioxide emissions. It can also be used in calculations to estimate yield of the process.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the instrumental determination of carbon content in a carbon black sample. Values obtained represent the total carbon content.
1.2 The method is applicable to tread, carcass and specialty type carbon blacks obtained from partial combustion or thermal decomposition processes, which typically contain 95 to 100 % carbon.
1.3 The results of these tests can be expressed as mass % carbon.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.5 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 standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

3. Summary of Test Method
3.1 In this test method, a sample is weighed in a combustion boat and the carbon content is determined by placing the boat in
a tube furnace operating at 1350°C in a stream of oxygen resulting in complete combustion. Carbon in the sample is oxidized to
carbon dioxide. Moisture and particulates are removed from the gas stream by traps filled with anhydrous magnesium perchlorate.
The gas stream is then passed through a cell in which carbon dioxide concentration is measured by an infrared (IR) absorption
detector at a precise wavelength in the IR spectrum.
3.2 This test method is for use with commercially available carbon analyzers equipped to carry out the combustion and
measurement operations automatically.
3.3 The carbon analyzer must be calibrated using an appropriate calibration standard (see 6.4).

It can also be used in calculations to estimate yield of the process.
