1、Designation: D 156 07An American National StandardStandard Test Method forSaybolt Color of Petroleum Products (Saybolt ChromometerMethod)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 156; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case

2、 of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This test

3、 method covers the determination of the color ofrefined oils such as undyed motor and aviation gasoline, jetpropulsion fuels, naphthas and kerosine, and, in addition,petroleum waxes and pharmaceutical white oils.NOTE 1For determining the color of petroleum products darker thanSaybolt Color 16, see T

4、est Method D 1500.1.2 This test method reports results specific to this testmethod and recorded as, “Saybolt Color units.”1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units or in SI units andwhich are not in parentheses are to be regarded as the standard.The values given in parentheses are for information on

5、ly.NOTE 2Oil tubes and apparatus used in this test method havetraditionally been marked in inches, (the tube is required to be etched with18 in. divisions.) The Saybolt Color Numbers are aligned with inch,12 in.,14 in., and18 in. changes in the depth of oil. These fractional inch changesdo not readi

6、ly correspond to SI equivalents and in view of the prepon-derance of apparatus already in use and marked in inches, the inch/poundunit is regarded as the standard. However the test method does use SI unitsof length when the length is not directly related to divisions on the oil tubeand Saybolt Color

7、 Numbers. The test method uses SI units for tempera-ture.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bili

11、empirical definition of the color ofa clear petroleum liquid based on a scale of 16 (darkest)to +30 (lightest). The number is derived by finding the heightof a column of the sample that, when viewed through thelength of the column, visually matches the appropriate one ofthree glass standards and ref

12、erring to Table 1 of Test MethodD 156.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The height of a column of sample is decreased by levelscorresponding to color numbers until the color of the sample isunmistakably lighter than that of the standard. The colornumber above this level is reported, regardless of whether

13、 thesample was darker, questionable, or a match at the higher level.5. Significance and Use5.1 Determination of the color of petroleum products is usedmainly for manufacturing control purposes and is an importantquality characteristic since color is readily observed by the userof the product.

17、 outsidethe established range may indicate possible contamination withanother product. However, color is not always a reliable guideto product quality and should not be used indiscriminately inproduct specifications.6. Apparatus6.1 The Saybolt chromometer consisting of sample andstandard tubes, opti

18、cal system, light source, and color stan-dards, is described in detail in Annex A1 and illustrated in Fig.A1.1.7. Standardization of Apparatus7.1 Remove the glass disk from the bottom of the oil tube.Clean the disk, oil tube, and plain tube. When deposits are notremovable by wiping or solvent rinsin

19、g, wash with soap andwater. After cleaning, rinse with distilled or deionized waterand with acetone or some other suitable solvent, and dry.Assemble the oil tube, and position the tubes in the instrument.7.2 Using the specified light source and illumination, ob-serve the comparative light intensity

20、of the two halves of theoptical field, with both tubes empty, and with the 12-mmdiaphragm removed from under the plain tube. The intensity oflight observed in each half of the optical field must be thesame. Adjustment in the position of the light source may benecessary to achieve this match.NOTE 3On

21、 some instruments, removal of the 12mm diaphragm canprevent the assembly from seating against the base (about a14 in. gap),which can let a lot of stray light in that may affect the light intensity whentrying to compare the two halves of the optical field in 7.2. If this occurs,follow the procedure i

22、n 7.3 (where the 12mm diaphragm has beenreattached) as the basis to ensure the light source has been properly set toprovide the same light intensity in both halves of the optical field.7.3 Replace the 12-mm diaphragm under the plain tube, andfill the oil tube to the 20 in. (508-mm) mark with distill

23、ed ordeionized water. The intensity of the light observed in each halfof the optical field must be the same, for the instrument to bejudged satisfactory for use. The optical properties of glass,from different batches, can vary significantly and it is recom-mended that only matched tubes, such as des

24、cribed in theAppendix, be used in this test. When a tube is broken, replaceboth tubes with a matched pair of tubes.8. Sampling8.1 Samples shall be taken in accordance with the instruc-tions in Practice D 4057.9. Preparation of Test Specimen9.1 Samples (Excluding Waxes)If the sample is containedin a

25、clear, transparent container, such as glass bottle, visuallycheck the sample for evidence of free water, particulatecontamination, and haze by holding the container up to thelight. If the sample is contained in a nontransparent container,transfer a portion to a clear, transparent container to conduc

26、tthe visual inspection before proceeding.9.2 Wax SamplesCarry out the same procedure in 9.1,except that the sample is to be heated to a temperaturecorresponding to the range specified in 11.1 to ensure thesample is liquid. (WarningTake appropriate safety precau-tions in handling the sample at elevat

27、ed temperatures.)9.3 When the sample is not clear-and-bright (that is, visualinspection in 9.1 or 9.2 shows any presence of turbidity, freewater, or particulates, or a combination thereof), filter througha sufficient number of qualitative filter papers until it is clear.For wax samples requiring fil

28、tration, it will be necessary toheat the filter paper and apparatus (for example, a filter funnel)that can come in contact with the molten sample to atemperature in the range specified in 11.1 to prevent the samplefrom solidifying during the filtration process.TABLE 1 Saybolt Colors Corresponding to

Procedure for Refined Light Oils and Pharmaceuti

33、calWhite Oils10.1 Flush the oil tube with a portion of the test specimen,taking care to allow the tube to drain thoroughly. Fill the oiltube with the test specimen compare with a whole colorstandard. When the test specimen is lighter than the colorstandard, remove the standard and replace it with a

34、halfstandard. When the sample is darker than the single wholestandard at 614 in. (158 mm), add another whole standard.(WarningIt is important that all samples in the color tubesbe free from air bubbles.)10.2 With the proper color standard or standards in place,and the test specimen in the oil tube a

35、t a level where its coloris decidedly darker than that of the color standard, draw off thetest specimen slowly by means of the petcock until the oilappears just slightly darker than the color standard. From thispoint, draw the test specimen level down to the nearest depthcorresponding to color numbe

36、r as shown in Table 1. When thecolor of the oil observed through the eyepiece is still darkerthan the color standard, draw the oil down to the next depthgiven in Table 1, and compare. Continue this operation until adepth is reached where the test specimen and color standardmatch, or show questionabl

37、e differences. At this point, lowerthe oil column to the next specified depth and, when the oil isunmistakably lighter than the color standard, record the colorcorresponding to the next higher level as the Saybolt color.10.3 Experience in the use of this instrument will obviatethe necessity of follo

38、wing the step-by-step procedure outlinedin 10.2 for choosing the proper color standards for eachsample. Examples of the procedure are given in Table 2.11. Procedure for Petroleum Wax11.1 Heat the wax test specimen to 8 to 17C above itscongealing point as determined in accordance with TestMethod D 93

39、8. Preheat the oil tube.11.2 Pour the liquid wax into the oil tube; turn the heatingelement off, and, after the heat waves in the test specimen canno longer be noted, obtain the required readings as directed inSection 10.12. Report12.1 Report the recorded color units as “Saybolt color_.” When the sa

40、mple has been filtered, add the words“(sample filtered).”13. Precision and Bias13.1 The precision of this test is not known to have beenobtained in accordance with currently accepted guidelines(Research Report RR: D021007).13.2 The precision of this test method as obtained bystatistical examination

41、of interlaboratory test results is asfollows:13.2.1 RepeatabilityThe difference between successivetest results obtained by the same operator with the sameapparatus under constant operating conditions on identical testmaterial would, in the long run, in the normal and correctoperation of the test met

42、hod, exceed the following value onlyin one case in twenty:1 color unit13.2.2 ReproducibilityThe difference between two singleand independent test results obtained by different operatorsworking in different laboratories on identical test materialwould, in the long run, in the normal and correct opera

43、tion ofthe test method exceed the following value only in one case intwenty:2 color units13.3 BiasThe procedure in this test method has no biasbecause the value of Saybolt Color is subjective and can onlybe defined in terms of this test method.14.
