3 Testing method for softening point
3.1 Overview of testing method for softening point of low temperature pattern wax materials
Place two horizontal specimen discs in a shoulder or conical brass ring, which is heated in distilled water at a certain speed. On each specimen disc there is a steel ball. The softening point shall be the average value of the temperatures measured when the specimens are softened to make the two steel balls on them sink by 25 mm.
3.2 Instruments and apparatus
3.2.1 Rings: two brass shoulder rings or conical rings, with dimensions and specifications shown in Figures 1a) and 1b).
3.2.2 Support plate: flat and smooth brass plate, with a dimension of about 50 mm×75 mm.
3.2.3 Steel balls: two steel balls in a diameter of 9.5 mm, each weighing (3.50±0.05) g.
3.2.4 Steel ball fixtures: two steel ball fixtures which are used to fix the steel column in the center of the specimen; see Figure 1c) for the general shape and dimension.
3.2.5 Bath: A heatable glass container with an inner diameter of not less than 85 mm and a depth of not less than 120 mm from the bottom to be heated.
3.2.6 Ring bracing frame and bracket: a copper bracing frame which is used to support the two rings at horizontal position; see Figure 1d) for its shape and dimension, and Figure 1e) for its installation drawing. The bottom of the shoulder ring on the bracing frame shall be 25 mm from the upper surface of the lower support plate, and the lower surface of the lower support plate shall be (16±3) mm from the bottom of the bath.
3.2.7 Thermometers: they shall conform to the technical requirements for GB-42 thermometer as specified in GB/T 514-2005, namely total immersion thermometers capable of measuring temperatures ranging from 30 ℃ to 180 ℃, with a minimum dividing value of 0.5 ℃.
Suspend an appropriate thermometer on the bracket as shown in Figure 1e) so that the bottom of the mercury bulb is parallel to the bottom of the ring, with a spacing of less than 13 mm, but it shall not contact the ring or the bracing frame. Such a thermometer shall not be replaced with other ones.

3.3 Reagents and materials
Heating medium: distilled water.
3.4 Preparation of specimen
3.4.1 Heat the specimens of pattern wax material with electric furnace. After the pattern wax material is completely melted, increase the temperature by 20 ℃ and keep stirring the pattern wax material to make it mix evenly. After the bubbles contained escape, pour a slightly excessive amount of specimen into each ring and cool the specimens at room temperature for at least 30 min. The preparation and testing of all specimens of the pattern wax material shall be completed within 6 h.
3.4.2 If the test is repeated, the samples shall not be reheated, and specimens shall be prepared again with fresh samples in a clean container.
3.4.3 After the specimens are cooled, scrape off the residual specimen with a knife or scraper so that each disc is full and flush with the top of the ring.
3.5 Test procedure
3.5.1 Fill distilled water into the bath and place the bath in cooling water so that the initial temperature of distilled water reaches (5±1) ℃.
3.5.2 Place the instruments in the fume hood and configure two sample rings and steel ball fixtures, insert the thermometers into appropriate positions, fill the bath with distilled water, and situate the instrument at appropriate positions. Place the steel balls at the bottom of the bath with tweezers to so that they have the same initial temperature as other parts of the bracket. Finally, insert the thermometers into appropriate positions. Clamp the steel balls at the bottom of the bath again with tweezers and place them into the fixture.
3.5.3 Heat the bottom of the bath so that the temperature rises at a constant rate of 5 ℃/min. During the test, the average heating rate shall not be taken, but after 3 min, the heating rate shall reach (5±0.5) ℃/min. If the temperature rise rate exceeds this limit, the test will fail.
3.5.4 When the balls on the two test rings just come into contact with the lower support plate, record the temperatures displayed on the thermometers respectively, and take the average as the softening point of the pattern wax material. If the difference between the two temperatures exceeds 1 ℃, repeat the test.
3.6 Measurement accuracy and error
3.6.1 Repeatability
The difference between the results of two repeated testing shall not exceed 1.0 ℃.
3.6.2 Reproducibility
The difference between the test results provided by two laboratories for the same specimen shall not exceed 1.5 ℃.
