Milliiter quantity of absolute alcohol contained in 100 mi of water mixtures Note: “Gl equivalent and the perantage by volume. 33 SINPM Quantity in grams of absolute alcohol contained in 100 g water mixtures, Note "IMPM equivalent and the percentage by mass.ABNT NBR5992:2008 4 Apparatus Note: It is recommended that the equipment used is calibrated according to good laboratory practices. 4.1 Clear glass beaker without scale, with intemal diameter of atleast 25 mm larger than the outside diameter of the hydrometer. The height ofthe cylinder ‘must be such that the hydrometer floats in the sample with atleast 25 mm of ‘space between the bottom of the hydrometer and the bottom of the cylinder. 4.2 Glass hydrometer in accordance with Ordinance N° 201 of Inmetro. 4.3. Thermometer in accordance with Ordinance N®245 of Inmetro. 5 Procedure 5.1. Wash and dry thermometer, hydrometer and cylinder so that they are free from oll. 5.2 Place the beaker containing the sample into a particle-ree air stream. 5.8 Immerse the thermometer as to rest on the edge ofthe cylinder with the appropriate device, without touching the walls of the cylinder, allow for stabilization of the temperature and record 5.4 Immerse the hydrometer in the sample making a slight swiling motion, 60 that the hydrometer quickly floats freely without touching the wall ofthe cylinder, Preventing the stem above the sample level with litle fluctuation. 5.5 After reaching the equilibrium position of the hydrometer, take a reading ‘on the scale at the level of intersection of the plane of the free liquid with the ‘marking on the hydrometer (see figure 1). Note the values of specific gravity, Indicated by the hydrometer and temperature of the sample. If the temperature difference between the intial start of tost and final reading Is greater than 0.5 C, repeat the test 2 @ABNT 2008 - All rights reservedABNT NBR 5992:2008 2 UPlgote4 — Bonito de teinira daiéscata- 6 Results 6.1 Calculation 6.1.1 Record the value of specific gravity at 20°C from the density read (with the thermometer and hydrometer corrections when necessary) using the program alcohol tables. 6.1.2 Record the alcoholic content in °GL and ®INPM in the program, according to the value of specific gravity at 20°C. 6.1.3 Record the value of specific gravity at 20°C, in kg/m®, one decimal place, and the alcoholic content in °INPM and °GL with a decimal pointABNT NBR 5992:2008 62 Precision of Method 6.2.1. The repeatability and reproducibility of this method are determined by statistical evaluation of results of interlaboratory tests, with a confidence level of ‘95%, had no reference material value is accepted for specific gravity and alcohol content, the trend cannot be determined. 6.2.2. The difference between two successive test results obtained by the same ‘operator using the same apparatus under constant conditions of operation and in ‘samples of identical material, with the correct execution ofthis method, must not exceed 0.2 “INPM to 20°C (repeatability r. 6.2.3 The difference between two test results, independent of individuals and obtained by different operators working in diferent laboratories and samples of material identical, wit the correct expansion factor in this method, must not exceed 0.3 “INPM to 20°C (reproducbilty- Fi).
