Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determin

3、ation 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 Test Method D1500.1.2 This t

4、est 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 only.NOTE 2Oil tubes and appar

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 readily correspond to SI equivale

6、nts 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 Numbers. The test method us

In some cases the color may serve as anindication of the degree of refinement of the material.When thecolor range of a particular product is known, a variation outsidethe established range can indicate possible contamination withanother product. However, color is n

Apparatus6.1 The Saybolt chromometer consisting of sample andstandard tubes, optical system, light source, and colorstandards, is described in detail in Annex A1 and illustrated inFig. A1

19、.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 rinsing, wash with soap andwater. After cleaning, rinse with distilled or deionized waterand with acetone or some

20、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 of the two halves of theoptical field, with both tubes empty, and with the 12 mmdiaphragm removed from under

21、 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 some instruments, removal of the 12 mm diaphragm canprevent the assembly from seating against the base (abo

22、ut 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 in 7.3 (where the 12 mm diaphragm has beenreattached) as the basis to ensure the light source has been prope

23、rly 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 distilled ordeionized water. The intensity of the light observed in each halfof the optical field must be the sam

24、e, 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 described in theAppendix, be used in this test. When a tube is broken, replaceboth tubes with a matched pair

25、of tubes.8. Sampling8.1 Samples shall be taken in accordance with the instruc-tions in Practice D4057.9. Preparation of Test Specimen9.1 Samples (Excluding Waxes)If the sample is containedin a clear, transparent container, such as glass bottle, visuallyinspect the sample for evidence of free water,

26、particulatecontamination, and haze by holding the container up to thelight. If the sample is contained in a nontransparent container,shake or agitate the sample container vigorously to uniformlysuspend any free water that may be present in the samplebefore transferring a portion to a clear, transpar

27、ent container toconduct the 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 temperature justenough to ensure the sample is liquid (see 9.4). (WarningTake appropriate safety precautions in handling the sample atelevate

28、d 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 filt

29、ration, it will be necessary toheat the filter paper and apparatus (for example, a filter funnel)TABLE 1 Saybolt Colors Corresponding to Depths of OilNumber of ColorStandardsDepth of Oil, in.

A sample heated to atemperature of 8 C to 17 C above its cong

34、ealing point asdetermined in accordance with Test Method D938, has beenfound suitable to test samples using this test method.10. Procedure for Refined Light Oils and PharmaceuticalWhite Oils10.1 Flush the oil tube with a portion of the test specimen,taking care to allow the tube to drain thoroughly.

35、 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 halfstandard. When the sample is darker than the single wholestandard at 614 in. (158 mm), add another whole standard.(Warn

36、ingIt 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 at a level where its coloris decidedly darker than that of the color standard, draw off thetest specimen slowly by means of

37、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 number as shown in Table 1. When thecolor of the oil observed through the eyepiece is still darkerthan the color standard, draw

38、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 questionable differences. At this point, lowerthe oil column to the next specified depth and, when the oil isunmistakably lighter than

39、 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 following the step-by-step procedure outlinedin 10.2 for choosing the proper color standards for eachsample. Examples of the pro

40、cedure are given in Table 2.11. Procedure for Petroleum Wax11.1 Heat the wax test specimen sufficiently to ensure arepresentative portion of liquid is taken for analysis, followingthe wax sample preparation steps and precautions in 9.2through 9.4. Preheat the oil tube.11.2 Pour the liquid wax into t

41、he 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 sample has been filtered, add the words“(sample filtered)
