Introduction

This manual is written in order to let operate know how to work with a DABS, the HITEC

Absorptometer Type H, but the most part of its content is based on the Hitec DADS

application. The DADS application was developed to operate the DADS terminal (the upper

box of the DABS) which was used as the data acquisition system connected to the

Brabender Absorptometers Type E and B.

Today the DADS terminal production as a single part is stopping and is produced only for

replacement or troubleshooting. But this document describes the application function for this

terminal.

Note:

Before you start working with the DABS tester (or DADS terminal), please read the

sections

DABS & Burette Installation

Starting on First Installation,

DADS Measurement Concept

How to do a test?

Safety note for the HITEC type H Absorptometer (DABS)

The protection door must stay installed and has to be closed during a

measurement.

Application Overview

The carbon black absorption test is used in the rubber and carbon black production

industry. The absorption test determines the quantity of liquid a carbon black sample is able

to absorb. The HITEC DADS application provides an automatic tool to execute absorption

tests and record the data resulting.

The principle of an absorption test is the following. A certain amount of carbon black is

introduced into a defined mixing chamber. During the measurement the carbon black in the

chamber is mixed, and liquid is added to it. A mixture is created developing a certain

resistance to the mixing chamber rotor blades. This resistance can be defined by torque. The

DADS application records the torque vs. quantity of liquid added and terminates the test in

case certain conditions are fulfilled. See also the section How to do a test? for further

information on the absorption measurement.

As liquid n-Dibutyl Phthalate is used. This one will be called DBP in the current document.

Other liquids could be used in the future, depending on the specifications.

The DADS application measurements and operations are based on ASTM standards. Refer

to ASTM Standards for further information on this topic.

During the absorption test the raw curve torque vs. liquid quantity is recorded. After the test,

a significant part of the curve is determined and a 3rd order polynomial is calculated, which

has proven to be for carbon black a very good fit to the raw curve. All the calculations and

test results are obtained with this polynomial.

DADS Terminal Overview

We call DADS the Data Absorption Data system. This is a terminal which can be connected

to different Absorption base units. Following is shown a picture of the DADS terminal.

Figure 1 –DADS Terminal

By using the HITEC application software package and this terminal connected to the base

units, provides an extended control and monitoring system for absorption tests. Without the

application the terminal is not able to run absorption tests.

The following base units are supported:

HITEC Absorptometer, Type H (DABS)

Brabender Absorptometer, Type E

Brabender Absorptometer, Type B

The DADS terminal can be connected to different burette types. Refer to the section

Burettes Overview for further information.

Here after you will find an overview of the DADS terminal versions and which functionality

they include.

Burettes Overview

Burette Modes

The HITEC application is able to work in different burette modes, depending on the

requirements and/or possibilities of the burette and the DADS terminal. Refer to Burette

Mode in Hitec Config manual for further information. The burette itself and the cable between

the DADS terminal and the burette determine the mode which can be supported. The DADS

terminal version 1.0 is not able to support the PULSE burette mode. The DADS terminal,

with version greater than 2.0 supports all burette modes.

Supported Burette Types

The following burette types are supported, and tested in the PULSE mode.

The burette resolution can be set in the DADS Setup of the HITEC Config application.

Other burettes with a closing contact reset input can be used in the burette RESET mode,

supported by DADS terminals. Other burette with 5VDC control inputs for reset and pulse fill

can possibly also be interfaced. For further information contact your HITEC products

distributor

Remarks:

The fill time of the burette should be set to 90 seconds.

Make sure all tube connections are tight. If this is not the case air could be sucked

in and the measurement would be falsified.

At least one burette purge should be done every morning before the measurements

are started. This is done to eliminate the air inside of the burette cylinder and hoses.

Use PTFE seals for the burette hoses as rubber is not necessarily resistant to DBP.

Keep the burette hoses short. Long tubes can cause vacuum during refill and thus

air bubbles being sucked into the system.

Terms and Definitions

Different terms are used in the absorption test area. In the following sections some important

terms are explained.

ASTM Standards

TLS Measurement

Normalization Measurement

DADS Measurement Concept

ASTM Standards

The DADS application supports the following ASTM standards.

D 2414

Standard Test Method for Carbon Black - n-Dibutyl Phthalate Absorption

Number.

D 3493

Standard Test Method for Carbon Black - n-Dibutyl Phthalate Absorption

Number of Compressed Sample.

D 3324

Standard Practice for Carbon Black - Improving Test Reproducibility using

ASTM Reference Blacks

A new release of the ASTM 2414 has been balloted in December 1999. This splits the

existing D 2414 in three methods.

Procedure A

End-point at fixed torque level

This "classical" method is well suitable for hard blacks but often leads to

problems when low-torque soft blacks are to be tested. Adjust the torque limit

switch or indicator set point in such way that the SRB F-5 gives a value of

129.5 ± 1.5 cm3 / 100g.

This method will be called Proc. A or ASTM method in the current

document. The result will be called Proc. A or ASTM result.

Procedure B

End-point at 70% of the maximum torque

Certain soft blacks and thermal blacks may fail to give an end-point due to

insufficient torque level. Therefore the preferred method for testing soft

blacks is to record the torque curve using a pen-recorder or a data

acquisition system and to read the end-point at 70% of the maximum of the

curve. Set the torque limit switch or the indicator set point to full scale in

order to disable the automatic shut-off of the Absorptometer.

The method and test results are called Proc. B. The percentage has to be

defined in the HITEC Config application on the DADS Setup. The default

value is 70% as defined in ASTM D2414
