TO

IS : 1676-1960 SPECIFICATION FOROLEIC ACID, TECHNICAL

Through I his amendment a requirement and mot hod of test fi)J"fluxing property of the material is being included in this standard 011 arequest from the Ministry of Defence, GovclnmC'nt of India. Theamended standard, therefore, achieves fnll alignrnpnt with JSS: 1076Oleic acid, commercial (flux soldering) of Ministry of Defence.

Alteration

[Pa.~e 4 (jJoge 5 of the reprint), Table I, clause rrfn ence under the title ojthe tableJ- Substitute ' ( Clauses 4.3 and 5.1 )' for' ( Clauses 4.2 and :1.1 ) '.

Addenda

I Page 3 (page 4 of the reJlrint), clause 4.1.1] - Add the following newclause after 4.1.1 and re-number the existing clause' 4.2' as ' 4.3 ':

'4.2 Fluxing Property - The material, when intended for Defence use,shall also pass the test prescribed in Appendix C. '

(I'age 12, clause B-3.2.3) - Add the following new appendixafter B-3.2.3:

APPENDIX C( Clause 4.2 )

TEST FOR FLUXING PROPERTY

c-r. OUTLINE OF THE METHOD

C-I.I Material is applied to two properly cleaned test plates by hrushand plates are put one over the other and soldered with solderingmaterials. The plates are then examined for any detachment.

C-2. MATERIALS

C-2.1 Tin Plates-two of 10 X 2'5 ern size.

C-2.2 Solvents - suitable, like acetone, carbon tetrachloride or toluene.

0.2.3 Solder Gan

C-2.4 Soldering Materials-suitable.

0.3. PROCEDURE

c-3.1 Take the tin plates and polish them with emery paper. De-greasethem with a suitable solvent and finally clean with dry cloth.

C-3.2 Apply oleic acid by brush on the part of the surface of the platesto be soldered. Put the soldering material Oll the portion to be solderedand spray it by red hot solder gun. Put the plates one over the other andallow the soldered plates to cool for 2 to 3 minutes. The soldered portionshall not get detached under normal stress.

C-3.3 The test shall be taken as satisfactory if the plates do not getseparated easily when tried to break off the soldered joint.

Indian StandardSPECIFICATION FOR

OLEIC ACID, TECHNICAL

o. FOR E W 0 R D

0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institutionon 4 July 1960, after the draft finalized by the Oils, Fats and SoapsSectional Committee had been approved by the Chemical DivisionCouncil and the Agricultural and Food Products Division Council.0.2 Oleic acid is used in India in the manufacture of various products,such as lubricants, carbon paper, stencil paper, paints, cosmetics, liquidsoaps, disinfectants, textile finishing preparations, printing inks, pharma­ceuticals, metal polishes, etc. Although there are many commercialspecifications drawn up by individual manufacturers which relate todifferent grades of oleic acid, these have no official recognition and nostandard has yet been formulated for this material by any country. Inpreparing this standard, due consideration has been given to the differentgrades of oleic acid being used at present for various purposes.0.3 Taking into consideration the views of producers, consumers andtechnologists, the Sectional Committee responsible for the preparation ofthis standard felt that it should be related to the manufacturing, tradeand technological procedures followed in the country in this field.0.4 In the preparation of this standard, substantial aasistance has beenderived from the valuable data made available by various organizationsin this country, notably Calcutta Chemical Co Ltd, Calcutta; GodrejSoaps Private Ltd, Bombay; Hindustan Lever Ltd, Bombay; ModiVana.tpati Manufacturing Co Ltd, Modinagarj Navsari Oil Products Ltd,Naveari; and Standard-Vacuum Oil Compan~ Ltd, Bombay. Thefollowing publications were also referred to:

British Pharmacopoeia, 1958United States Pharmacopoeia, 1955

0.5 Indian Standard Methods of Sampling and Test for Vegetable Oilsand Fag (IS: 548-1954-) is a necessary adjunct to this standard. Besides,thiJ .tandard requires reference to IS: l07{).1960 Specification for Water,Distilled Quality ( Rlvisld).

0.5.1 Wherever a reference to apy Indian Standard mentioned in 0.5 orotherwise appean in this standard, it shall be taken as a reference to thelatest venion of the standard•

8-3.2 Procedure

8-3.2.1 Pour the material, heated in a water-bath, if necessary, into thejar to a height of 51 to 57 mm (see 8-3.2.1.1). Close the jar with the corkcarrying the thermometer so that the thermometer bulb is immersed verti­cally in the material with the beginning of the capillary 3 mm below thesurface. Heat the material, without stirring, to a temperature of 4Goe ina bath maintained at a temperature not higher than 48°C. Cool the sampleto 32°C in air or in a water-bath at approximately 25°C. Fit the gasketon to the jar 25 mm from the bottom and insert the jar into the jacket.The disc, the gasket and the jacket shall be kept clean and dry.

8-3.2.1.1 The jar may be marked to indicate the proper level of thesample.

8-3.2.2 Once the material has cooled enough to allow the formation ofwax crystals, take great care not to disturb the mass of sample nor to permitthe thermometer to shift in the sample. Any disturbance of the spongynetwork of crystals will lead to false results.

8-3.2.3 Maintain the bath temperature of the cooling bath at minus1° to plus 12°C. Support the jacket and jar in a vertical position in thebath 110 that not more than 25 rom projects from the cooling medium.Beginning at a temperature 12°C before the expected pour point, at eachthermometer reading which is a multiple of 3°C, remove the jar from thejacket carefully and tilt it just enough to ascertain whether there is a move­ment of the material, and replace it; this complete operation, removal andreplacement should take not more than three seconds. Take care not todisturb the mass of the liquid nor to permit the thermometer to shift in

12

IS I 1676- 1960

the liquid. If the material has not ceased to flow when it has been cooledto goe, place the jar and jacket in another bath maintained at a tempera­ture of minus 15° to minus 18°C. If the material has not ceased to Bowwhen it has been cooled to 6°C, place the jacket and jar in another bathmaintained at a temperature of minus 32° to minus 35°0. As soon as thematerial ceases to flow when the jar is tilted, hold the jar in a horizontalposition for exactly 5 seconds. If the sample shows any movement, replacethe jar in the jacket and cool the material another 3°C. If the materialshows no movement during the 5 seconds, record the reading of thethermometer. Take the pour point as the temperature 3°C above thistemperature.
