3. Summary of Test Method
3.1 In this test method, oil is added by means of a constant-rate buret to a sample of carbon black in the mixer chamber of an
absorptometer. As the sample absorbs the oil, the mixture changes from a free-flowing state to one of a semiplastic agglomeration,
with an accompanying increase in viscosity. This increased viscosity is transmitted to the torque-sensing system of the
absorptometer. When the viscosity of the mixture reaches a predetermined torque level, the absorptometer and buret will shut off
simultaneously. The volume of oil added is read from the direct-reading buret. The volume of oil per unit mass of carbon black
is the oil absorption number.
3.2 Either DBP, paraffin or Epoxidized Fatty Acid Ester (EFA) oils are acceptable for use with most standard pelleted grades
of carbon black including N-series carbon blacks found in Classification D1765. OAN testing using paraffin or EFA oils on some
standard blacks and specialty blacks including powder products may result in unacceptable differences as compared to OAN testing
with DBP oil. Paraffin and EFA oils are considered non-hazardous; some paraffin oils are FDA approved. For any of the oils,
