Standard Test Method for Purity by Differential Scanning Calorimetry

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 The melting temperature range of a compound broadens as the impurity level rises. This phenomenon is described approximately by the van’t Hoff equation for melting point depressions. Measuring and recording the instantaneous heat flow into the specimen as a function of temperature during such a melting process is a practical way for the generation of data suitable for analysis by the van’t Hoff equation.  
5.2 The results obtained include: sample purity (expressed as mole percent); enthalpy of fusion (expressed as joules per mole); and the melting temperature (expressed in Kelvin) of the pure form of the major component.  
5.3 Generally, the repeatability of this test method decreases as the purity level decreases. This test method is ordinarily considered unreliable when the purity level of the major component of the mixture is less than 98.5 mol % or when the incremental enthalpy correction (c) exceeds 20 % of the original detected enthalpy of fusion.  
5.4 This test method is used for quality control, specification acceptance, and research.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method describes the determination of purity of materials greater than 98.5 mole percent purity using differential scanning calorimetry and the van’t Hoff equation.  
1.2 This test method is applicable to thermally stable compounds with well-defined melting temperatures.  
1.3 Determination of purity by this test method is only applicable when the impurity dissolves in the melt and is insoluble in the crystal.  
1.4 There is no ISO method equivalent to this test method.  
1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.  
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

4.2 This test method consists of melting the test specimen that is subjected to a temperature-controlled program while recording
the heat flow into the specimen as a function of temperature. The resulting melting endotherm area is measured to yield the
enthalpy of fusion, H. The melting endotherm area is then partitioned into a series of fractional areas (about ten, comprising the
first 10 to 50 % of the total area). The fractional area, divided by the total area, yields the fraction melted, F. Each fractional area
