27、TE 1It is known that some materials, when heated to a temperaturehigher than 45C during the preceding 24 h, do not yield the same pourpoint results as when they are kept at room temperature for 24 h prior totesting. Examples of materials which are known to show sensitivity tothermal history are resi

28、dual fuels, black oils, and cylinder stocks.8.1.1 Samples of residual fuels, black oils, and cylinderstocks which have been heated to a temperature higher than45C during the preceding 24 h, or when the thermal history ofthese sample types is not known, shall be kept at roomtemperature for 24 h befor

29、e testing. Samples which are knownby the operator not to be sensitive to thermal history need notbe kept at room temperature for 24 h before testing.8.1.2 Experimental evidence supporting elimination of the24-h waiting period for some sample types is contained in aresearch report.58.2 Close the test

30、 jar with the cork carrying the high-pourthermometer (5.2). In the case of pour points above 36C, usea higher range thermometer such as IP 63C or ASTM 61C.Adjust the position of the cork and thermometer so the cork fitstightly, the thermometer and the jar are coaxial, and thethermometer bulb is imme

31、rsed so the beginning of the capillaryis 3 mm below the surface of the specimen.8.3 For the measurement of pour point, subject the speci-men in the test jar to the following preliminary treatment:8.3.1 Specimens Having Pour Points Above 33C Heatthe specimen without stirring to 9C above the expected

32、pourpoint, but to at least 45C, in a bath maintained at 12C abovethe expected pour point, but at least 48C. Transfer the test jarto a bath maintained at 24 6 1.5C and commence observa-tions for pour point. When using a liquid bath, ensure that theliquid level is between the fill mark on the test jar

33、 and the topof the test jar.8.3.2 Specimens Having Pour Points of 33C and BelowHeat the specimen without stirring to at least 45C in a bathmaintained at 48 6 1.5C. Transfer the test jar to a bathmaintained at 24 6 1.5C. When using a liquid bath, ensurethat the liquid level is between the fill mark o

34、n the test jar andthe top of the test jar. When the specimen temperature reaches27C, remove the high cloud and pour thermometer, and placethe low cloud and pour thermometer in position. Transfer thetest jar to the cooling bath (see 8.6.1).8.4 See that the disk, gasket, and the inside of the jacket a

35、reclean and dry. Place the disk in the bottom of the jacket. Placethe gasket around the test jar, 25 mm from the bottom. Insertthe test jar in the jacket. Never place a jar directly into thecooling medium.8.5 After the specimen has cooled to allow the formation ofparaffin wax crystals, take great ca

To remove condensed moisture that limits visibilitywipe the surface with a clean cloth moistened in alcohol(ethanol or methanol). Tilt t

41、he jar just enough to ascertainwhether there is a movement of the specimen in the test jar. Ifmovement of specimen in the test jar is noted, then replace thetest jar immediately in the jacket and repeat a test for flow atthe next temperature, 3C lower. Typically, the completeoperation of removal, wi

42、ping, and replacement shall requirenot more than 3 s.8.6.1 If the specimen has not ceased to flow when itstemperature has reached 27C, transfer the test jar to a jacket ina cooling bath maintained at 0 6 1.5C. As the specimencontinues to get colder, transfer the test jar to a jacket in thenext lower

43、 temperature cooling bath in accordance with Table2.8.6.2 If the specimen in the jar does not show movementwhen tilted, hold the jar in a horizontal position for 5 s, asnoted by an accurate timing device, and observe the specimencarefully. If the specimen shows any signs of movement before5 s has pa

44、ssed, replace the test jar immediately in the jacket andrepeat a test for flow at the next temperature, 3C lower.8.7 Continue in this manner until a point is reached at whichthe specimen shows no movement when the test jar is held ina horizontal position for 5 s. Record the observed reading ofthe te

45、st thermometer.8.8 For black specimen, cylinder stock, and nondistillatefuel specimen, the result obtained by the procedure describedin 8.1 through 8.7 is the upper (maximum) pour point. Ifrequired, determine the lower (minimum) pour point by heat-ing the sample while stirring, to 105C, pouring it i

46、nto the jar,and determining the pour point as described in 8.4 through 8.7.8.9 Some specifications allow for a pass/fail test or havepour point limits at temperatures not divisible by 3C. In thesecases, it is acceptable practice to conduct the pour pointmeasurement according to the following schedul

47、e: Begin toexamine the appearance of the specimen when the temperatureof the specimen is 9C above the specification pour point.Continue observations at 3C intervals as described in 8.6 and8.7 until the specification temperature is reached. Report thesample as passing or failing the specification lim

48、it.9. Calculation and Report9.1 Add 3C to the temperature recorded in 8.7 and reportthe result as the Pour Point, ASTM D97. For black oil, and soforth, add 3C to the temperature recorded in 8.7 and report theresult as Upper Pour Point, ASTM D97, or Lower Pour Point,ASTM D97, as required.10. Precisio
