It is known that, under various conditions, monodisperse suspensions of polystyrene latex spheres can be synthesized, both monodisperse and polydisperse samples being obtainable. The effect of the composition and solubility of surfactants in a styrene-based water emulsion on the particle size of suspensions obtained as a result of emulsion polymerization, and their polydispersity, has been investigated. The metrological characteristics of polystyrene suspensions based on sodium, potassium, and lithium laureths synthesized in this study were determined using dynamic light scattering and laser diffraction techniques. It has been found that the size and degree of polydispersity of particles in suspensions based on lauric acid salts is primarily influenced by the solubility of the surfactant and the surface tension of the interfacial layer formed between styrene and water at the time of particle formation. The effect of the rate of reaction, as well as the concentration of surfactants, on the size and polydispersity of the synthesized particles, has been studied. It has been found that when potassium persulfate is used as the initiator in the reaction, particle size distributions are monodisperse for suspensions based on sodium or potassium laureate. The polydispersity degree of lithium laureate-based suspensions is approximately 1.5 to 2 times higher compared to other suspension samples. When azoisobutyronitrile is used as an initiator, all suspensions samples are monodisperse. It has been experimentally determined that the achievement of monodisperse samples is due to the polymer-monomer particle formation time, which is comparable to the monomer transformation rate. The results obtained will be utilized in the development and establishment of particle size standard reference materials for storage and reproduction of particle size values within a liquid medium.","PeriodicalId":14651,"journal":{"name":"Izmeritel`naya Tekhnika","volume":"135 35","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140977176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The performance of sorbents, catalysts and membranes in the chemical and petroleum industries, including the purification of substances and materials, depends on the values of these characteristics. It has been established that for mutual recognition of national standards and certificates of calibrations and measurements of porosity characteristics of solid substances performed by national metrological institutes, it is required to organize and successfully participate in three international key comparisons under the auspices of the Consultative Committee for Amount of Substance: Metrology in Chemistry and Biology of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. The results of the participation of national metrology institutes and designated organizations of Germany, China, Japan, Brazil, Turkey and Russia in three international key comparisons in the field of measurements of specific adsorption of gases (nitrogen, argon, krypton) and specific surface area of solids (zeolite, silicon oxides and aluminum) are presented. Carrying out the optimal number of comparisons makes it possible to register in the Key Comparison Database of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures the measuring and calibration capabilities of the national metrological institutes of the participating countries for various matrices in a wide range of measurements of specific adsorption of gases 0.001–25 mol/kg and specific surface area of solids 0.1–1500 m2/g. Based on the results of these three international key comparisons, 18 of broad calibration and measurement capabilities of the Russian participant, the D. I. Mendeleev Institute for Metrology, were entered into the Key Comparison Database; two of these items are currently undergoing examination, including reference materials produced by this institute. A comparative analysis of the results of measurements of the specific surface area of solids using nitrogen and krypton as adsorbates was performed. It has been established that the uncertainty of the measurement results of the specific surface area is significantly less in the case of using krypton as an adsorbate with a specific surface area of less than 1 m2/g, which is due to the higher values of the relative pressure of krypton compared to nitrogen. The use of calibration and testing laboratories in Russia of certified reference materials of sorption properties presented in the Key Comparison Database of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures will ensure metrological traceability in the field of measurements of porosity characteristics.","PeriodicalId":14651,"journal":{"name":"Izmeritel`naya Tekhnika","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140974795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Typically, for routine calibration work in laboratories, either mass-produced instruments (low current sources and meters, electrometers) are used, which are calibrated against higher standards, or specially designed precision current sources. The article describes a reference installation developed on the basis of the VNIIFTRI, where in the mode of generating ultralow currents the principle of forming a linearly increasing voltage on a reference capacitor is used.

To solve these issues, in addition to studying the nature of the flowow of various liquids in round horizontal tubes (capillaries), it is necessary to determine the conditions when the flowow of liquid in capillaries and round tubes of small diameter is laminar and can be described by the Poiseuille equation. Experimental data on determining water flow ow through horizontal round tubes of various diameters are presented. Determining the patterns and features of such flow ows is mostly aimed at increasing hydrodynamic efficiency, improving the operational and technical characteristics of various apparatus and devices, as well as ensuring the required flow ow regime and conditions. Experimental data on determining the flow ow rate of water through horizontal tubes of circular cross-section with different diameters are presented in the article. The dependence of the volumetric flow ow rate on the pressure drop has been determined; it has been shown that the main parameters that determine the nature of the flow ow of liquids in horizontal tubes are the tube radius and the dynamic viscosity of the liquid. The flow ow of distilled water in tubes with diameters of 0.95, 1.6 and 2.0 mm at an overpressure of 0.266 kPa to 4 kPa is considered. It is shown that the dependence of the volumetric flow ow rate on the excess pressure remains linear at 0.95 mm in the entire considered pressure range. An increase in the tube radius increases the likelihood of velocity flow uctuations and the appearance of a radial velocity component, i.e. the occurrence of elements of a turbulent structure. In this regard, with tube diameters of 1.6 and 2.0 mm, a deviation of the water flow ow regime from the laminar character was established at pressures of more than 1.3 kPa and 1 kPa, respectively. The dependence of the volumetric flow ow rate on pressure for a 40 % aqueous solution of CaCl2, transformer, transmission and engine oils with dynamic viscosity coefficients from 0.002 Pa·s to 0.182 Pa·s remains linear up to pipe diameters of 5–6 mm.

A later draft revision of the “Manual on the Expression of Measurement Uncertainty” attempted to shift the interpretation of measurement uncertainty from the scattering parameter to the probability distribution. An attempt to contribute to solving the problem of definitional uncertainty in the International Dictionary of Basic and Basic Terms of Metrology was also unsuccessful. In the new version of the dictionary of general statistical terms and probability theory terms, the term measurement uncertainty is excluded, and one of the notes states that “the probability distribution fully describes the probabilistic properties of the uncertainty of the result”. However, due to the new requirements for risk calculations, international documents were urgently put into effect without radical assessments of the inapplicability of the Bayes approach and the Monte Carlo method, the disadvantages were renamed limitations, but there are no specific instructions for calculating risks.
