2、 last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the use of gas chromatographyto determine the amount of diesel fuel in used engine lubricat-i

3、ng oil. This test is limited to SAE 30 oil. The diesel fueldiluent is analyzed at concentrations up to 12 mass %.NOTE 1This test method may be applicable to higher viscosity gradeoils. However, such oils were not included in the program used to developthe precision statement.1.2 This test method is

4、limited to gas chromatographsequipped with flame ionization detectors and temperatureprogrammable ovens.NOTE 2The use of other detectors and instrumentation has beenreported. However, the precision statement applies only when the instru-mentation specified is employed.1.3 There is some overlap of th

5、e boiling ranges of dieselfuel and SAE 30 engine oils. Moreover, the boiling range ofSAE 30 oils from various sources can vary appreciably. As aresult, the calibration can be altered by as much as 2 %, interms of fuel dilution. When testing unknown or mixed brandsof used engine oil, it should be rea

6、lized that the precision of themethod may be poorer than the precision obtained whencalibrating with a new oil representative of the used oil beingtested.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values stated in inch-pound units are for infor-mation only.1.5 This stan

7、dard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory requirements prior to use.2.

15、ummary of Test Method4.1 Gas chromatographic techniques are used for analyzingthe samples, by adding a known percentage of n-decane as aninternal standard, in order to determine the mass percent ofdiesel fuel in the lubricating oil. A calibration curve ispreviously constructed which plots the diesel

16、 fuel to n-decaneresponse ratio versus the mass percent of diesel fuel inlubricating oil mixtures containing a constant amount ofinternal standard. The mass percent of diesel fuel in thesamples is determined by interpolation from the calibrationcurve.5. Significance and Use5.1 Some fuel dilution of

17、the engine oil may take placeduring normal operation. However, excessive fuel dilution is ofconcern in terms of possible performance problems. Thismethod provides a means to determine the magnitude of thefuel dilution, providing the user with the ability to predictperformance and to take appropriate

18、 action.6. Apparatus6.1 Gas ChromatographAny gas chromatograph can beused that has the following performance characteristics:6.1.1 DetectorA flame ionization detector is used. Thedetector must have sufficient sensitivity to detect 1.0 % decanewith a peak height of at least 10 % of full scale on the

19、dataacquisition device under the conditions prescribed in thismethod. Follow the directions given in Practice E594. Whenoperating at this sensitivity level, detector stability must besuch that a baseline drift of not more than 1 % full scale perhour is obtained. The detector must be capable of opera

20、tingcontinuously at a temperature equivalent to the maximumcolumn temperature employed. Connection of the column tothe detector must be such that no temperature zones existbelow the column temperature (cold spots). Although thermalconductivity detectors have been used for this test, their use isnot

21、recommended.NOTE 3It is not desirable to operate a thermal conductivity detector ata temperature 5 to 10C higher than the maximum column temperatureemployed. Operation at higher temperature generally contributes to highernoise levels and greater drift, and can also shorten the useful life of thedete

22、ctor.6.1.2 Column Temperature ProgrammerThe chromato-graph must be capable of linear programmed temperatureoperation over a range sufficient to establish a retention time ofat least 1 min for the initial peak(s) and to elute the entiresample before reaching the upper end of the temperatureprogram. T

23、he programming rate must be sufficiently reproduc-ible to obtain retention time repeatability of 0.1 min (6 s) foreach component in the calibration mixture described in 7.8.6.1.3 Sample Inlet SystemThe sample inlet system mustbe capable of operating continuously at a temperature equiva-lent to the m

24、aximum column temperature employed, or providean on-column inlet with some means of programming the inlet,including the point of sample introduction, up to the maximumtemperature required. Connection of the column to the sampleinlet system must be such that no temperature zones below thecolumn tempe

25、rature (cold spots) exist.6.2 Data Acquisition System:6.2.1 IntegratorMeans must be provided for determiningthe accumulated area under the chromatogram. This can bedone by means of an electronic integrator or computer basedchromatography data system. The integrator/computer systemmust have chromatog

26、raphic software for measuring the reten-tion times and areas of eluting peaks (peak detection mode).The electronic range of the integrator/computer (for example,1 V, 10 V) must be within the linear range of the detector/electrometer system used. It is desirable that the system becapable of subtracti

27、ng each area slice of a blank run from thecorresponding area slice of a sample run.NOTE 4Best precision and automatic operation can be achieved withan electronic integration system using a computer for data acquisition andcontrol of the gas chromatograph.NOTE 5Some gas chromatographs have an algorit

28、hm built into theiroperating software that allows a mathematical model of the baselineprofile to be stored in memory. This profile is automatically subtractedfrom the detector signal on subsequent sample analyses to compensate forany baseline offset. Some integration systems also store and automatic

29、allysubtract a blank analysis from subsequent analytical determinations.6.3 ColumnAny column and conditions may be used,provided that under the conditions of the test, the separationsoccur in order of increasing boiling points. Moreover, thecolumn must meet the performance requirements described in8

30、.2.1. The column resolution, R, shall be at least 3 and not morethan 8. Since a stable baseline is an essential requirement ofthis method, compensation is required for column bleed,septum bleed, detector temperature control, constancy ofcarrier gas flow and instrument drift.6.4 Flow ControllersThe g

31、as chromatograph must beequipped with mass flow controllers capable of maintainingcarrier gas flow constant to 61 % over the full operatingtemperature range of the column. The inlet pressure of thecarrier gas supplied to the gas chromatograph must be suffi-ciently high to compensate for the increase

32、 in column back-pressure as the column temperature is raised. An inlet pressureof 550 kPa (80 psig) has been found to be satisfactory with thecolumns described in Table 1.6.5 Sample Introduction Devices:6.5.1 Micro SyringeA micro syringe, usually 10 L, isused for sample introduction.6.5.2 Automatic

33、sampling devices that reproducibly injectthe same volume are highly recommended. The sample intro-duction devices should operate in a synchronous manner withthe gas chromatograph.6.6 Vial, 15-mL, screw cap.7.

In general, particle size ranging from 60 to100 sieve mesh, and support loadings of 3 to 10 %, have beenfound most satisfactory.7.4 Carrier GasHelium or nitrogen (Wa

37、rningHeliumand nitrogen are compressed gases under high pressure), witha purity of 99.99 mole% or better. Additional purification isrecommended by the use of molecular sieves or other suitableagents to remove water, oxygen, and hydrocarbons. Availablepressure must be sufficient to ensure a constant

44、 of6.3 may be used. The column must be conditioned at themaximum operating temperature until baseline drift due tocolumn bleeding has been reduced to a minimum.NOTE 6Difficulty in achieving the stable baseline requirement mayindicate injection port or column contamination.
