Whentesting aviation turbine fuel, a 50 mL 6 0.5 mLquantity of fuel

18、is evaporated under controlled conditions of temperature andflow of steam (see Table 1). For aviation gasoline and aviationturbine fuel, the resulting residue is weighed and reported asmilligrams per 100 mL. For motor gasoline, the residue isweighed before and after extracting with heptane and there

19、sults reported as milligrams per 100 mL.NOTE 1Specification D1655 allows the existent gum of aviationturbine fuels to be determined by either Test Method D381 or IP 540, withTest Method D381 identified as the referee test method.Test Method D381specifically requires the use of steam as the evaporati

20、ng medium foraviation turbine fuels, whereas IP 540 allows either air or steam as theevaporating medium for aviation turbine fuels.5. Significance and Use5.1 The true significance of this test method for determininggum in motor gasoline is not firmly established. It has beenproved that high gum can

21、cause induction-system deposits andsticking of intake valves, and in most instances, it can beassumed that low gum will ensure absence of induction-systemdifficulties. The user should, however, realize that the testmethod is not of itself correlative to induction-system deposits.The primary purpose

22、of the test method, as applied to motorgasoline, is the measurement of the oxidation products formedin the sample prior to or during the comparatively mildconditions of the test procedure. Since many motor gasolinesare purposely blended with nonvolatile oils or additives, theheptane extraction step

23、is necessary to remove these from theevaporation residue so that the deleterious material, gum, maybe determined. With respect to aviation turbine fuels, largequantities of gum are indicative of contamination of fuel byhigher boiling oils or particulate matter and generally reflectpoor handling prac

Either a solid metal block bath or aliquid bath, electrically heated, and constructed in accordancewith the general prin

Avoid contact with exposed skin by use ofprotective equipment as required.)8. Assembly of Air-Jet Apparatus8.1 Assemble the air-jet apparatus as show

35、n in Fig. 1. Withthe apparatus at room temperature, adjust the air flow to give arate of 600 mLs 6 90 mLs for the outlet under test. Checkthe remaining outlets for uniform air flow.NOTE 4A rate of 600 mL s 6 90 mL s from each outlet, at roomtemperature and atmospheric pressure, will ensure delivery

36、of 1000 mL s6 150 mL s at the temperature of 155 C 6 5 C for each outlet. It isrecommended to follow the manufacturers instructions to verify totalflow/s (600 mL s air flow number of outlets = total flow/s) anduniformity from each outlet.8.2 Apply heat to the evaporation bath (see 6.4) until thetemp

37、erature of the bath is between 160 C and 165 C.Introduce air into the apparatus at a rate indicated on the flowindicator (see 6.5) from the exercise carried out in 8.1. Measurethe temperature in each well with the temperature sensor (see6.8) placed with the bulb or sensor tip resting on the bottom o

38、fthe beaker in the well. Do not use any well having a recordedtemperature outside the range from 150 C to 160 C.9. Assembly of Steam-Jet Apparatus9.1 Assemble the steam-jet apparatus as shown in Fig. 1.(WarningThe sample and solvent vapors evaporated duringthe performance of this test procedure can

39、be extremelyflammable or combustible and hazardous from the inhalationstandpoint. The evaporation bath must be provided with aneffective exhaust hood to control such vapors and reduce therisk of thermal explosion.)9.2 To place the apparatus in operation, apply heat to thebath. When the temperature r

40、eaches 232 C, slowly introducedry steam into the system until a rate of 1000 mLs 6150 mLs for each outlet is reached (see 10.2). Regulate thetemperature of the bath to a range from 232 C to 246 C toprovide a well temperature of 232 C 6 3 C. Measure thetemperature with the temperature sensor, placed

41、resting on thebottom of a beaker in one of the bath wells with the conicaladapter in place. Any well having a temperature that differs bymore than 3 C from 232 C is not suitable for standard tests.10. Calibration and Standardization10.1 Air Flow:10.1.1 Verify or calibrate the air flow to ensure all

42、outletsmeet the 600 mLs 6 90 mLs air flow requirement as mea-sured at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Refer tothe instrument manufacturer instructions for specific guidanceon performing the air flow calibration procedure. Note thesetting of the flow indicator device for use with air and u

43、se thissetting for subsequent tests.10.1.1.1 One way to calibrate the air flow is to use acalibrated flow indicator device, such as a flowmeter, separatefrom the device specified in 6.5, to check the air flow rate ateach outlet directly at room temperature and atmosphericpressure. To obtain accurate

44、 results, ensure that the backpressure of the flowmeter is less than 1 kPa.10.1.1.2 Alternatively, another way to calibrate the air flowis to measure and adjust as appropriate the total air flow rate(mL/s) supplied to the outlets. The total air flow rate equals theexpected air flow rate at each outl

45、et times the number or outletpositions (for example, instrument has 5 positions and a totalair flow rate measurement of 3000 mLs, indicating an ex-pected air flow rate of 600 mLs at each outlet). Once verifyingthe total flow supplied to the outlets is at the appropriate rate,perform uniformity check

46、s by comparing the relative air flowrates at each outlet position versus the requirements in 10.1.1.10.2 Steam Flow:10.2.1 Verify or calibrate the steam flow to ensure all outletsmeet the 1000 mLs 6 150 mLs steam flow requirement.Refer to the instrument manufacturer instructions for specificguidance

47、 on performing the steam flow calibration procedure.Note the setting of the flow indicator device for use with steamand use this setting for subsequent tests.10.2.1.1 One way to calibrate the steam flow, is to attach acopper tube to a steam outlet and extend the tube into a 2 Lgraduated cylinder tha

48、t has been filled with crushed ice andwater that has been previously weighed. Exhaust the steam intothe cylinder for approximately 60 s. Adjust the position of thecylinder so that the end of the copper tube is immersed in thewater to a depth of less than 50 mm to prevent excessive backpressure. Afte

49、r the appropriate time has elapsed, remove thecopper tube from the cylinder and weigh the cylinder. The gainin mass represents the amount of steam condensed. Calculatethe steam rate (mL/s) as follows:R 5 M 2 m!1000/kt (1)where:R = steam rate (mL/s),M = mass of graduated cylinder with condensed steam, g,m = mass of graduated cylinder and ice, g,k = mass of 1000 mL of steam at 232 C at atmosphericpressure = 0.434 g, andt = condensing time, s.11.
