2.1 APPERANCE
Compare sample with Standard sample.

2.2 TSC (Total Solid Contents)


2.2.1 Apparatus
1) Drying chamber
2) Aluminum foil plate
3) Electronic balance
4) Desiccator
<Fig.1 Drying chamber>
2.2.2 Procedure
1) Dry an aluminum foil plate to constant weight in an air oven at a temperature of 105℃.
After drying, cool off in a desiccator for 20 to 40 minutes.
Then, accurately weigh the plate to the degree of 0.1 mg. (m1)
2) Take approximately 3 g of the sample in the plate. Then, accurately weigh it to the degree of 0.1 mg.
(m2)
3) Place loaded plate in a drying chamber, and dry at 105℃ for 2 hours.
4) After drying the loaded plate, it is allowed to cool in a desiccator for 20 to 40 minutes before
weighing.
Then, accurately weigh the plate to the degree of 0.1 mg. (m3)
5) Repeat one more in the same way.

2.2.3 Calculation
TSC : Total solid contents (%)
(m3-m1) m1 : Mass of the empty plate (g)
TSC = X 100
(m2-m1) m2 : Mass of the loaded plate before drying (g)
m3 : Mass of the loaded plate after drying (g)

2.3 pH
2.3.1 Apparatus
1) pH meter (Metrohm 686 Titroprocessor)
2) pH electrode (Metrohm 6.0233.100)
3) 100ml beaker

2.3.2 Procedure
1) For the standardization of the pH meter, <Fig.2 pH meter (Metrohm 686 Titrocessor)>
two pH standard solutions are used as
4.00 pH standard solution and 7.00 pH standard solution.
2) After finishing the standardization procedure, rinse well the electrodes with water, and remove the
attached water using a filter paper.
3) Immerse the detection unit in the test solution and read the indicated pH value after confirming the
value is stable.
(Test solution : 10g of sample + 90g of water)

※ The temperature of test solution must be controlled to be the same as that of the pH standard
solutions with which the pH meter was standardized. (25℃)

3) Select the capillary tube viscometer. (Table 1)


4) Immerse N part to sample. Then, Suck sample into capillary tube using aspirator. (Fig 4)
5) As soon as the tube is filled with sample to G, Invert the tube and remove the attached sample from
outer wall.
6) Close the tube (L side) with rubber stopper to make sample not to flow.
7) Place the viscometer vertically in a thermostat-equipped bath maintained at 25℃ within ±0.05℃ for
30 minutes.

W3 - W1 W1 : Mass of the pycnometer (g)
S1 =
W2 - W1 W2 : Mass of the pycnometer containing water (g)
W3 : Mass of the pycnometer containing sample (g)

2.4.4 Calculation of viscosity
