2、ear 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 method covers the

3、determination of ash in therange 0.0010.180 mass %, from distillate and residual fuels,gas turbine fuels, crude oils, lubricating oils, waxes, and otherpetroleum products, in which any ash-forming materialspresent are normally considered to be undesirable impurities orcontaminants (Note 1). The test

4、 method is limited to petroleumproducts which are free from added ash-forming additives,including certain phosphorus compounds (Note 2).NOTE 1In certain types of samples, all of the ash-forming metals arenot retained quantitatively in the ash. This is particularly true of distillateoils, which requi

18、ferably are portionsof one or more liquid petroleum materials that are stable andrepresentative of the samples of interest. These QC samplescan be used to check the validity of the testing process asdescribed in Section 11.7. Sampling7.1 Obtain samples in accordance with the instructions inPractice

19、D 4057 or D 4177. Before transferring the portion ofthe sample to be ashed to the evaporating dish or crucible, takeparticular care to ensure that the portion taken is trulyrepresentative of the larger portion. Vigorous shaking can benecessary.8. Procedure8.1 Heat the evaporating dish or crucible th

20、at is to be usedfor the test at 700 to 800C for a minimum of 10 min. Cool toroom temperature in a suitable container, and weigh to thenearest 0.1 mg.NOTE 3The container in which the dish or crucible is cooled can bea desiccator not containing a desiccating agent. In addition, all weighingsof the cru

21、cibles should be performed as soon as the crucibles have cooled.If it should be necessary that the crucibles remain in the desiccator for alonger period, then all subsequent weighings should be made afterallowing the crucibles and contents to remain in the desiccator for thesame length of time.8.2 W

22、hen the sample is sufficiently mobile, mix thoroughlybefore weighing. The mixing is necessary to distribute catalystfines and other particulate material throughout the sample.Satisfactory mixing can usually be achieved by 10 min ofmanual shaking or 10 min using a mechanical shaker. Examinethe sample

23、 for homogeneity before proceeding with 8.3.Continue mixing the sample if it is not homogeneous.8.2.1 When it is evident that the sample is not homogenizedafter repeated mixings, or there is a reasonable doubt, anon-aerating, high-speed shear mixer can be used. Such adevice is described in Annex A1

24、of Test Methods D 4928.8.2.2 When the sample cannot be satisfactorily homog-enized, reject the sample and acquire a new sample.8.2.3 When the sample is viscous or solid at room tempera-ture, heat the container carefully until the sample is entirelyliquid and mix carefully.An oven at an appropriate t

25、emperaturecan be used.8.2.4 The sample can contain water. After heating in anoven, the water can boil causing splattering or foaming. Theoperator shall proceed cautiously with the heating step, wear-ing appropriate personnel protective equipment, such as safetygoggles and gloves. Mixing this type of

26、 sample shall be donecarefully. Stirring, rather than shaking, is an option.8.3 The quantity of test specimen taken for testing willdepend upon the ash content expected in the sample. Refer toTable 1. The weighing procedure will also depend uponwhether the sample requires heating or not, and whether

27、 morethan one portion has to be weighed.8.4 Using a top-loading balance, weigh into the dish orcrucible sufficient test specimen to the nearest 0.1 g to yield nomore than 20 mg of ash. Determine the mass of the testspecimen used in the analysis at ambient temperature. One wayto do this is to take th

28、e difference between the initial and finalmasses of the sample container weighed at ambient tempera-tures. If one weighing is sufficient, as determined from Table 1,or experience, proceed with steps 8.6-8.11.8.5 If more than one addition of test specimen is required,proceed only through 8.6 (noting

29、8.6.1 and 8.7) and allow thedish or crucible to cool to ambient temperature before addingmore sample as outlined in 8.4. Proceed with steps 8.6-8.11.8.6 Carefully heat the dish or crucible with a Meeker burneror equivalent until the contents can be ignited by the flame.Maintain the dish or crucible

30、at such a temperature that thesample continues to burn at a uniform and moderate rateleaving only a carbonaceous residue when the burning ceases.A hot plate can be used at this stage.8.6.1 The test sample may contain water that can causespattering. The operator shall heat the test portion cautiously

31、while wearing appropriate personnel protective equipment,such as safety goggles and gloves. If spattering is very severe,so that material escapes the confines of the dish or the crucible,discard the test portion. If the first test portion is discarded, add2 6 1 mL of propan-2-ol (WarningFlammable) t

32、o a secondtest portion while stirring with a glass rod and warming the testportion gently to liquefy if it is solid or near solid. Proceed asdescribed in 8.6. If this is unsuccessful, repeat on a third testportion using a 10 6 1 mL mixture of 50 6 5 % by volumetoluene (WarningFlammable. Vapor harmfu

33、l) and 50 6 5%by volume of propan-2-ol. In either case, any test specimen thatadheres to the glass rod can be returned to the dish using a stripof ashless filter paper. Continue burning as outlined in 8.6.8.7 Vigilance by the operator is mandatory; burning samplesshall never be left unattended.8.8 S

34、ome test specimens will require extra heating after theburning has ceased, particularly heavy samples such as marinefuels which form crusts over the unburned material. The crustcan be broken with a glass rod. Any crust that adheres to theglass rod can be returned to the dish using a strip of ashless

35、filter paper. Burn the remaining test specimen.8.9 The heavier material tends to foam, therefore the opera-tor shall exercise considerable care. Overheating shall beavoided so that neither the test specimen nor the dish are heatedto a red hot appearance, as this can result in loss of ash.Likewise, t

36、he flame shall never be higher than the rim of thedish to avoid superheating the crust, thereby producing sparksthat can result in considerable loss of ash.TABLE 1 Test Specimen Mass versus AshExpected Ash, mass %Test Specimen,mass, gAsh Mass, mg0.18 11 200.10 20 200.05 40 200.04 50 200.02 100 200.0

46、 or the testprocedure by analyzing a QC sample.X1.2 Prior to monitoring the measurement process, the userof the test method needs to determine the average value andcontrol limits of the QC sample (see Practices D 6299 andD 6792 and MNL 7).5X1.3 Record the QC results and analyze by control chartsor o

47、ther statistically equivalent techniques, to ascertain thestatistical control status of the total testing process (seePractices D 6299 and D 6792 and MNL 7). Any out-of-controldata should trigger investigation for root cause(s).X1.4 In the absence of explicit requirements given in thetest method, th

48、e frequency of QC testing is dependent on thecriticality of the quality being measured, the demonstratedstability of the testing process, and customer requirements.Generally, a QC sample is analyzed each testing day withroutine samples. The QC frequency should be increased if alarge number of sample

49、s are routinely analyzed. However,when it is demonstrated that the testing is under statisticalcontrol, the QC testing frequency may be reduced. The QCsample precision should be checked against the ASTM methodprecision to ensure data quality.X1.5 It is recommended that, if possible, the type of QCsample that is regularly tested be representative of the material4No ASTM Research Report is available for this standard.5ASTM MNL 7, Manual on Presentation of Data Control Chart Analysis,6thed., ASTM International, W.
