ASTM D1510-08a

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

Carbon Black—Iodine Adsorption Number
This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 1510; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the iodine adsorption number of carbon black.
1.2 The iodine adsorption number of carbon black has been shown to decrease with sample aging. New SRB HT Iodine
Standards have been produced that exhibit stable iodine number upon aging. These SRB HT Iodine Standards are recommended
for daily monitoring (x-charts) of testing and for standardization of iodine testing (see Section 8) when target values cannot be
obtained.
1.3
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.4 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 A weighed sample of carbon black is treated with a portion of standard iodine solution and the mixture shaken and
centrifuged. The excess iodine is then titrated with standard sodium thiosulfate solution, and the adsorbed iodine is expressed as
a fraction of the total mass of black.
4. Significance and Use
4.1 The iodine adsorption number is useful in characterizing carbon blacks. It is related to the surface area of carbon blacks and
is generally in agreement with nitrogen surface area. The presence of volatiles, surface porosity, or extractables will influence the
iodine adsorption number. Aging of carbon black can also influence the iodine number.
