Sampling5.1 Sampling UniformityFlow is never uniform in agitatedquench tanks. There is always variation of flow rate andturbulence from top to bottom and ac

Foruniform sampling, a number of sampling recommendationshave been developed.FIG. 4 Leidenfrost Temperature and its Independence of the Initial Tempera

38、m.5.1.1.2 Sampling PositionFor each system, the sampleshall be taken from the same position each time that system issampled. The sample shall be taken at the point of maximumflow turbulence. The position in the tank where the sample istaken shall be recorded.5.1.1.3 Sampling ValvesIf a sample is tak

39、en from asampling valve, then sufficient quenching oil should be takenand discarded to ensure that the sampling valve and associatedpiping have been flushed, before the sample is taken.5.1.1.4 Sampling from Tanks with No AgitationIf samplesare to be taken from bulk storage tank or a quench tank with

40、 noagitation, then samples shall be taken from the top and bottomof the bulk system or quench tank. If this is not possible and thesample can only be taken from the top, then the laboratoryreport shall state that the results represent a sample taken fromthe top of the bulk system or quench tank and

Recommended Test Procedures6.1 Performance-Related Physical and Chemical Proper-ties:6.1.1 Kinematic Viscosity, (Test Method D445 or D7042)The performance of a quench oil is dependent on its viscosity,which varies with temperature and

44、 oil deterioration duringcontinued use. Increased oil viscosity typically results indecreased heat transfer rates (6). Oil viscosity varies withtemperature which affects heat transfer rates throughout theprocess.6.1.1.1 The flow velocity of a quench oil depends on bothviscosity and temperature. Some

45、 quench oils are used at highertemperatures, such as martempering oils, also known ashot-oils. Although the viscosity of a martempering oil may notfluctuate substantially at elevated temperatures, the oil maybecome almost solid upon cooling. Thus, the viscosity-temperature relationship (viscosity in

46、dex) of a quench oil maybe critically important from the dual standpoint of quenchseverity and flow velocity.6.1.1.2 Typically kinematic viscosity determination by TestMethod D445 or D7042 is used. Viscosity measurements aremade at 40 C (104 F) for conventional or accelerated oils andalso at 100 C (

47、212 F) for martempering oils.6.1.2 Flash Point and Fire Point (Test Method D92)Useof a quench oil in an open system with no protective atmo-sphere shall be at least 60 C to 65 C lower than its actualopen cup flash point to minimize the potential for fire. Generalguidelines have been developed for us

48、e temperatures of aquench oil relative to its flash point.NOTE 1There are various manufacturer-dependent guidelines forrelating the suitability for use of a used quenching oil with respect to itsflash point and they shall be followed. In the absence of such guidelines,it is recommended that the use

49、temperature of a quenching oil in an opensystem with no protective atmosphere shall be more than 60 C to 65 C(140 F to 149 F) below its actual open-cup flash point. In closed systemswhere a protective atmosphere is used, the use temperature of the usedquenching oil shall be at least 35 C (95 F) lower than its actual open-cupflash point.6.1.3 Density (Test Methods D1298 and D4052)The den-sity of materials of similar volatility is dependent on thechemical composition, and in the case of quenching oils, theFIG. 6 Actual Cool
