1、Designation:D87407D87413 British Standard 4716 Standard Test Method for Sulfated Ash from Lubricating Oils and Additives 1 This standard is issued under the xed designation D874; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the

2、 year of last revision.Anumber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () 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 th

4、ntincombinedform. 1.2 Application of this test method to sulfated ash levels below 0.02 mass% is restricted to oils containing ashless additives. The lower limit of the test method is 0.005 mass% sulfated ash. NOTE 1This test method is not intended for the analysis of used engine oils or oils contai

5、ning lead. Neither is it recommended for the analysis of nonadditive lubricating oils, for which Test Method D482 can be used. NOTE 2There is evidence that magnesium does not react the same as other alkali metals in this test. If magnesium additives are present, the data is interpreted with caution.

6、 NOTE 3There is evidence that samples containing molybdenum can give low results because molybdenum compounds are not fully recovered at the temperature of ashing. 1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.4 This

7、standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 2.

Sulfur and chlorine do not interfere, but when phosphorus is present with

NOTE 4Since zinc sulfate slowly decomposes to its oxide at the ignition temperature specied in the test method, samples containing zinc can give variable results unless the zinc sulfate is completely converted to the oxi

NOTE 7The container in which the dish is cooled does not contain a desiccating agent. 9.3 Weigh into the dish a quantity of sample given as follows: W510/a (

33、1) where: W = mass of test specimen, g, and a = expected sulfated ash, mass %. However, do not take a quantity in excess of 80 g. In the case of lubricating oil additives yielding a sulfated ash of 2 mass% or more, dilute the weighed sample in the dish with approximately 10 times its weight of low-a

34、sh mineral oil. If the amount of sulfated ash found differs from the expected amount by more than a factor of two, repeat the analysis with a different weight of sample calculated from the rst analysis unless the calculated sample size 80 g.

If this is

37、 not satisfactory, add 10 mL of a mixture of equal volumes of toluene (Warning Flammable, Vapor harmful.) and propan-2-ol and mix thoroughly.

Carefully heat the dish at a low temperature on a hot plate or over a gas burner, avoiding spattering, and continue heating until fumes are no longer evolved. 9.6 Place the dish

39、in the furnace at 7756 25C and continue heating for 306 5 min until oxidation of the carbon is complete or almost complete. 9.7 Allow the dish to cool to room temperature.Add 3 drops of water and 10 drops of sulfuric acid (1+1).

NOTE8Astudyconductedbytwoseparatelaboratoriesinvestigatingwhetherheatingsulfatedashresiduesforextendedperiodsoftime(forexample, overnight) in a furnace at 7756 25C as opposed to 30 min as required in 9.8 revealed that a signicant

42、 difference in sulfated ash results can exist.The study indicated that lower sulfated ash results were obtained on the samples left in the furnace overnight versus those that were heated in 30min cycles. Athermogravimetric analysis also conrmed that the samples evaluated continued to lose weight at

43、775C as a function of time.As such, it is essential that the 30min heating time requirement be adhered to in performing the test method. Details concerning the study can be found in ASTM Research Report RR:D02-1597. NOTE 10Zinc dialkyl or alkaryl dithiophosphates and blends containing these additive

In this case, repeat 9.7 and 9.8 until a white residue is obtained. 9.9 Weigh the dish and residue to the nearest 0.1 mg. 9.10 Repeat 9.8 and 9.9 until two successive weighings differ by no more than 1.0 mg. NOTE 9Normally one repeat will

45、suffice, unless a high proportion of zinc is present, when three or four heating periods can be required. 9.11 For samples expected to contain 0.02 mass% or less of sulfated ash, determine a sulfuric acid blank by adding 1 mL of the concentrated sulfuric acid to a tared platinum dish or crucible, he

Cool the dish or crucible to room temperature in a suitable container (see Note 7) and weigh to the nearest 0.1 mg. If any ash is found in the sulfuric acid, make an adjustment to the weight of sulfate

47、d ash obtained by subtracting the weight of ash contributed by the sulfuric acid, determined from the total volume of sulfuric acid used and the weight of ash found for the 1-mL blank, from the total grams of sulfated ash for the sample. Use this corrected weight, w, in calculating the percent sulfa

Calculation 10.1 Calculate the sulfated ash as a percentage of the original sample as follows: Sulfatedash,mass%5w/W!3100 (2) where: w = grams of sulfated ash, and W = grams of sample used. 11.
