36、 of portions of the sample in the original container.Heat the sample of used oil at 60 C 6 5 C for 30 min 61 min and agitate until all sediment is homogeneously sus-pended in the oil. After complete suspension of all sediment,strain the sample or a convenient aliquot through a 150 m(No. 100) sieve t

37、o remove large contaminating particles.NOTE 2When the sample is clear and transparent and visibly free ofsediment, the straining procedure described above can be omitted.9. Procedure A for Pentane and Toluene InsolublesWithout Coagulant9.1 Pentane Insolubles:9.1.1 Dry a clean centrifuge tube for 30

38、min 6 1 min at105 C 6 3 C, cool in a desiccator, and weigh to the nearest1 mg. Weigh 10.0 g 6 0.1 g of the prepared sample of used oilinto the tube and fill to the 75 mL mark with pentane(WarningMay be harmful if inhaled or swallowed.). Stopperthe tube and shake until the mixture is homogeneous. Do

39、notallow the mixture to stand more than 3 h.9.1.2 Remove the stopper, and using a wash bottle having afine jet, wash all insolubles from the stopper with pentane intothe centrifuge tube and bring the solvent level up to the 100 mLmark. Arrange the tubes symmetrically about the centrifuge tominimize

40、imbalance. In the event of an odd number of tubes,using water, fill a dummy tube to the same mass as the sampleto balance the odd tube, and centrifuge for 20 min 6 1 min ata rate calculated in accordance with 6.2, sufficient to produce arelative centrifugal force (rcf) between 600 and 700 at the tip

41、sof the whirling tubes. (See Table 2.) Carefully decant thesupernatant liquid without disturbing or dispersing theprecipitate, leaving not more than 3 mL of liquid in thecentrifuge tube.NOTE 3Due to safety concerns when handling flammable materials,some laboratories have found it suitable to use ref

42、rigerated or explosion-proof centrifuges or hermetically sealed centrifuge cups with screw capsand seals.9.1.3 Add 10 mL 6 1 mL of pentane to the tube. Dislodgeand break up all of the insolubles from the bottom of the tubeby means of a clean stiff wire. Wash all insolubles adhering tothe wire back i

43、nto the tube with pentane, filling the tube to the25 mL mark. Stopper the tube and shake until the mixture ishomogeneous. Remove and wash the stopper with pentane,filling the tube to the 50 mL mark. Centrifuge for 20 min 61 min. Pour the supernatant liquid from the centrifuge tube,using care to avoi
