Temperature, standard

The capacity of a glass vessel varies with the temperature, and it is therefore necessary to define the temperature at which its capacity is intended to be correct in the UK a temperature of 20 °C has been adopted. A subsidiary standard temperature of 27 °C is accepted by the British Standards Institution, for use in tropical climates where the ambient temperature is consistently above 20 °C. The US Bureau of Standards, Washington, in compliance with the view held by some chemists that 25 °C more nearly approximates to the average laboratory temperature in the United States, will calibrate glass volumetric apparatus marked either 20 °C or 25 °C. 

Taking the coefficient of cubical expansion of soda glass as about 0.000030 and of borosilicate glass about 0.000010 per 1 °C, Part A of Table 3.1 gives the correction to be added when the sign is +, or subtracted when the sign is —, to or from the capacity of a lOOOmL flask correct at 20 °C in order to obtain the capacity at other temperatures. 

In the use of graduated glassware for measurement of the volume of liquids, the expansion of the liquid must also be taken into consideration if temperature corrections are to be made. Part B of Table 3.1 gives the corrections to be added or subtracted in order to obtain the volume occupied at 20 °C by a volume of water which at the tabulated temperature is contained in an accurate lOOOmL flask having a standard temperature of 20 °C. It will be seen that the allowance for the expansion of water is considerably greater than that for the expansion

Standard-state fugacities at zero pressure are evaluated using the Equation (A-2) for both condensable and noncondensable components. The Rackett Equation (B-2) is evaluated to determine the liquid molar volumes as a function of temperature. Standard-state fugacities at system temperature and pressure are given by the product of the standard-state fugacity at zero pressure and the Poynting correction shown in Equation (4-1). Double precision is advisable. 

Pressure. Standard atmospheric pressure is defined to be the force exerted by a column of mercury 760-mm high at 0°C. This corresponds to 0.101325 MPa (14.695 psi). Reference or fixed points for pressure caUbration exist and are analogous to the temperature standards cited (23). These points are based on phase changes or resistance jumps in selected materials. For the highest pressures, the most rehable technique is the correlation of the wavelength shift, /SX with pressure of the mby, R, fluorescence line and is determined by simultaneous specific volume measurements on cubic metals... 

Thermal effects on aquatic organisms have been given critical scientific review. Annual reviews of the thermal effects Hterature have been pubUshed beginning in 1968 (12). Water temperature criteria for protection of aquatic life were prepared by the NAS in 1972, and these criteria have formed the basis of the EPA recommendations for estabUshing water temperature standards for specific water bodies (13,14).

Errors in density result from errors in temperature measurement or control calibration of instruments transfer, handling and weighing of samples and impurities in the samples. At temperatures well below the critical temperature and near room temperature, standard techniques easily achieve accuracies of +0.05%. For the compounds in this compilation, that level corresponds to about +0.4 kg m"3. Under these conditions, errors in temperature are not very significant. This level of accuracy only requires...

The types of values reported in the database standard enthalpies of formation at 298.15 K and 0 K, bond dissociation energies or enthalpies (D) at any temperature, standard enthalpy of phase transition—fusion, vaporization, or sublimation—at 298.15 K, standard entropy at 298.15 K, standard heat capacity at 298.15 K, standard enthalpy differences between T and 298.15 K, proton affinity, ionization energy, appearance energy, and electron affinity. The absence of a check mark indicates that the data are not provided. However, that does not necessarily mean that they cannot be calculated from other quantities tabulated in the database. 

As electrical insulators, PET and PEN have very similar properties. The major difference between them is the long-term thermal ageing of the respective films and the effect that such ageing has on continuous use at various temperatures. Standard PET films have a continuous-use temperature of 105 °C, as measured...

Calculated vibrational frequencies, along with calculated equilibrium geometries, may be employed to yield a variety of thermodynamic quantities. The most important of these from the present perspective are associated with bringing energetic data obtained from calculation into juxtaposition with that obtained in a real experiment. The former are energies of non-vibrating molecules at OK, while the latter are free energies at some finite temperature. Standard thermodynamic relationships provide necessary connections ... 

Type T (copper-constant) thermocouples are most applicable in steam sterilizer validation work. Their working temperature range is wide and they are resistant to corrosion in moist environments. A high grade of thermocouple wire should be chosen. Premium grades of wire accurate to as close as 0.1°C at 121°C are recommended. These must then be calibrated against a temperature standard traceable to the National Bureau of Standards (NBS). 

The superscript 0 indicates the standard state, which is taken at equilibrium temperature, standard pressure P° and standard composition x. The standard pressure is usally taken as 1 bar or 10+5 Pa.. For liquid and solid components the standard state is usually the pure liquid or solid component, for gases the standard state is the pure gaseous component in the ideal gas state at P° and T. So, for a gaseous component f°(P°,T,x0) = P°.

Accurate temperature calibration using the ASTM temperature standards [131, 132] is common practice for DSC and DTA. Calibration of thermobalances is more cumbersome. The key to proper use of TGA is to recognise that the decomposition temperatures measured are procedural and dependent on both sample and instrument related parameters [30]. Considerable experimental control must be exercised at all stages of the technique to ensure adequate reproducibility on a comparative basis. For (intralaboratory) standardisation purposes it is absolutely required to respect and report a number of measurement variables. ICTA recommendations should be followed [133-135] and should accompany the TG record. During the course of experiments the optimum conditions should be standardised and maintained within a given series of samples. Affolter and coworkers [136] have described interlaboratory tests on thermal analysis of polymers.
