Scope1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the inherentstability of middle distillate petroleum fuels under specifiedoxidizing conditions at 95C.NOTE 1Fuels used in establishing the precision measures for this testmethod were described as gas oil, diesel fuel, No. 2 heati

4、ng oil, and DFM,a Navy distillate fuel suitable for diesels, boilers, and gas turbines. (Theterm DFM is no longer used when referring to fuel meeting MIL-F-16884requirements; rather it is called F76 as it conforms to NATO F76requirements.) While the test method may be used for fuels outside therange

16、solubles are thenremoved from the oxidation cell and associated glassware withtrisolvent. The trisolvent is evaporated to obtain the quantity ofadherent insolubles. The sum of the filterable and adherentinsolubles, expressed as milligrams per 100 mL, is reported astotal insolubles.5. Significance an

17、d Use5.1 This test method provides a basis for the estimation ofthe storage stability of middle distillate fuels such as No. 2 fueloil.5.2 The test method may not provide a prediction of thequantity of insolubles that will form in field storage over anygiven period of time. The amount of insolubles

18、formed in suchfield storage is subject to the specific conditions which are toovariable for this test method to predict accurately.5.3 Test Method D 2274 yields results more rapidly thanTest Method D 4625, the 43C bottle test. However, as a resultof the significantly elevated temperature and the pur

19、e oxygenatmosphere, the nature and amount of insolubles may deviateto a greater extent than Test Method D 4625 from those formedin field storage.6. Interferences6.1 Oxidation is a major chemical process causing adherentand filterable insolubles to form. Any substance such as copperor chromium that c

20、atalyzes oxidation reactions will causegreater quantities of insolubles to form. Since the apparatusused in this test can also be used in Test Method D 943, wherecoils of copper and steel are used, it is important that anyresidues that could contain these metals be eliminated from theapparatus by th

21、orough cleaning prior to use. Similarly, topreclude the presence of chromium ions, as well as to protectlaboratory personnel from potential harm, chromic acid shallnot be used for cleaning glassware in the practice of thismethod.6.2 It has been found that commercial grades of acetone, ifused in the

22、trisolvent, can have impurities which cause anapparently greater level of adherent insolubles to be measured.It is, therefore, critical that only reagent (or higher) gradematerials be used in preparing the trisolvent mixture.6.3 Ultraviolet light exposure has been found to increase theamount of tota

23、l insolubles. Therefore, the fuel being testedshall be shielded from direct exposure to ultraviolet light(sunlight or fluorescent). Conduct all sampling, measuring,filtration, and weighing away from direct sunlight and in asdark an area as would be compatible with other laboratoryoperations. Storage

24、 before stress, the stress period and cool-down after stressing shall be in the dark.7. ApparatusNOTE 2It is suggested that all equipment be calibrated according tomanufacturers instructions on a periodic basis to assure consistency ofresults.7.1 Oxidation Cell, of borosilicate glass, as shown in Fi

25、g. 1,shall consist of a test tube, condenser, and oxygen deliverytube. This cell is identical to that used in Test Method D 943.FIG. 1 Oxidation CellD 2274 03a (2008)27.2 Heating Bath, with a thermostatically controlled liquidmedium, shall be capable of maintaining the bath temperatureat 95 6 0.2C (

26、203 6 0.4F). It shall be fitted with a suitablestirring device to provide a uniform temperature throughout thebath. It shall be large enough to hold the desired number ofoxidation cells immersed to a depth of approximately 350 mm.Further, the bath construction must permit shielding the fuelsamples i

One flowmeter shall be provided for eachoxidation cell.7.4 Filter Drying Oven, shall be capable of safely evapo-rating the solvent at 80 6 2C (176 6 4F) for

Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Commi

31、t-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society,where such specifications are available.6Other grades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficiently high purity to permit its use without lessening theaccuracy of the determination.8.2 Purity of WaterUnle

32、ss otherwise indicated, referenceto water shall be understood to mean reagent water as definedby Type III of Specification D 1193.8.3 2.2,4-trimethylpentanel (isooctane), 99.75 % purity pre-filtered through a filter medium of the type specified in 7.7.8.4 Oxygen, 99.5 % purity or better. When the ox

33、ygen isdelivered through a plant system of piping, a filter shall beprovided adjacent to the constant temperature bath to preventthe introduction of line debris or moisture into the oxidationcells; a pressure regulator adequate to maintain a constant flowof gas through the apparatus shall also be us

34、ed. A tank ofoxygen of the specified purity can be used provided it isequipped with a two-stage pressure regulator. (WarningOxygen vigorously accelerates combustion. Do not use equip-ment having exposed surfaces containing oil or grease.)8.5 Trisolvent, a mixture of equal volumes of acetone,methanol

35、, and toluene. See 8.1.(WarningIt is particularlyimportant that technical, commercial, practical, or industrialgrades (however they are designated by the particular manu-facturer) are not to be used, as their use may lead to apparentlyincreased levels of adherent insolubles.) (WarningFire haz-ard, t

36、oxic.)9. Samples and Sampling9.1 When obtaining samples for the laboratory, followPractices D 4057 or D 4177, or other standard practice capableof providing representative samples.9.2 Analyze fuel samples as soon as possible after receipt.When a fuel cannot be tested within one day, blanket it with

37、aninert gas such as oxygen-free nitrogen, argon, or helium andstore at a temperature no higher than 10C (50F) but not lowerthan the cloud point. (WarningPlastic containers are notacceptable for samples due to the potential for leaching ofplasticizers. Samples should be taken preferably in metal cans

38、previously cleaned according to Practice D 4057. Borosilicateglass containers can be used if they are wrapped or boxed toexclude light. Do not use soft (soda) glass containers.)9.3 Test SamplesReduction of the laboratory sample totest sample size (about 400 mL for each determination)depends upon the

39、 size of sample received by the laboratory. Ifthe laboratory sample is stored in a tank, drum, or 19-L (5-gal)or larger can, use the pertinent procedures of Practice D 4057.Thoroughly mix smaller laboratory samples by shaking, roll-ing, or other techniques before taking an aliquot portion bypouring,

40、 pipetting, or other means. Clean any tube, thief, pipet,beaker, or other substance that is to contact the laboratorysample with trisolvent and rinse with a portion of the sampleprior to use.

Place the oxygen delivery tube in theoxidation cell, place the condenser over the oxygen deliverytube and allow to soak at least two hours. Wash, drain, thenrinse fi

46、ve times with tap water followed by three rinses withdistilled or deionized water meeting Specification D 1193 TypeIII requirements. Rinse with acetone; drain and allow theoxidation cell and oxygen delivery tube to dry.10.3 Preparation of Evaporating BeakersDry the 200-mLcleaned beakers (10.1)for1hi

Procedure11.1 Preparing the SamplePlace one filter (described in7.7) on the filter support and clamp the filter funnel to thesupport as shown in Fig.

48、 2. Apply suction (approximately 80kPa (12 psi). Pour 400 mL of the fuel through the filter (see7.7) into a clean (10.1) 500-mL glass suction flask. Repeatpreparation for each sample to be run. After filtration iscomplete, discard the filter media. Never use the same filtersfor a second increment of

49、 fuel, because any material depositedon the filters by a previous increment of fuel can result in agreater removal of solids from the next increment.11.2 Assembling the Oxidation Apparatus:11.2.1 Place a clean oxygen delivery tube into a cleanoxidation cell (Section 10) and pour 350 6 5 mL of the filteredfuel into the cell. As soon thereafter as possible, but in no casegreater than 1 h after measuring the fuel, immerse the test cellin the 95C (203F) heating bath. During any interim periodstore the cell in the dark.
