3 Principle
3.1 Instrument method
3.1.1 The aggregation degree of carbon black particles influences the technological process of carbon black rubber compound and the use property of vulcanized rubber. The void volume of the carbon black aggregate depends on the aggregation degree of the carbon black particles, and can be obtained from the volume of oil absorbed by the carbon black. Thus, the oil absorption number of carbon black may be used as the measurement of the aggregation degree of the carbon black particles.
3.1.2 Oil is added by means of a constant-rate buret to a sample of carbon black in the mixing chamber of an absorptometer. As the sample absorbs the oil, the mixture changes from a free-flowing state to one of a semi-plastic 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 constant-rate buret will shut off simultaneously. The volume of oil added is directly read from the constant-rate buret. The volume of oil per unit mass of carbon black is the oil absorption number of carbon black.
3.2 Manual method
Add oil to a certain amount of carbon black samples at a certain speed, and blend, stir and roll the mixture on a glass plate with a glass rod, so that the mixture changes from a free-flowing state to a semi-plastic agglomerate until the carbon black is all in the specified shape and can be rolled onto the glass rod completely, without oil mark on the glass plate.
