Because no specification is known

18、to describe a satisfactory epoxy-coating, 6.2 lists an approval procedure whichcan be used to identify a satisfactory coating.4.1.1.2 For initial qualification of new container sources, coated cans should be examined closely to assure that the coatingcovers all inside surfaces. If not, the cans shou

19、ld be considered the same as tin-plated, soldered side seam cans.4.1.1.3 Epoxy-coated cans are generally considered satisfactory for sampling aviation gasoline.4.1.2 Borosilicate (Hard) Glass BottlesAmber colored or bottles covered with an opaque material such as aluminum foil arepreferred to avoid

21、losures with a metallic inside surface are preferred. Closures with the same inside surfaces as suitable containers or PTFEare also suitable.4.2.2 Where required by shipping regulations such as DOT 17C or 17E the closure should also include a metallic shipping seal.NOTE 1The use of improper or uncle

22、aned closures or shipping seals will destroy all precautions used in selecting and preparing containers. The useof properly selected and cleaned closures or seals is essential.5.

27、.6. Preparation of Apparatus6.1 Introduction:6.1.1 Experience indicates no single container type to meets all desired requirements including size and cost. Certain containertypes have been found suitable for some test methods but not for others. Some containers are adequate if the samples are usedim

28、mediately but are not suitable for sample storage. The procedure therefore designates the containers to be used for each testprocedure and describes prior cleaning, if any. A summary of the procedures is found in Table 1. The detailed procedures followbelow. However, the possibility that a fuel may

29、contain an unusual contaminant, making a normally satisfactory containerunsuitable should not be overlooked.6.1.2 The largest sample meeting shipping rules, costs, availability, and other practical considerations should always be usedto minimize surface effects.6.1.3 It is not possible to describe s

30、ome of the container materials by standard specifications or by suitable generic descriptions.Therefore, an approval procedure is outlined in 6.2.6.1.4 Other sampling details such as sampling taps, labelling, shipping instructions, and so forth will be found in PracticeD4057.6.2 Approval Procedure (

31、Stored Samples):6.2.1 If internally coated the new container should be examined visually for coating integrity in accordance with 4.1.1.2 andclosure suitability in accordance with 4.2.1.6.2.2 Containers should be flushed three times with the container 10 to 20 % filled with trisolvent (equal volumes

32、 of 5.1, 5.2,and 5.3), then three times with heptane. For each flush, the container should be closed and shaken for 1 min and the solventreplaced for the next flush. After the last flush is drained, the container should be air-dried.6.2.3 Reference fuel as indicated in 5.3 should be used for testing

33、.6.2.4 The containers should be filled with reference JetA, orA-1, closed, and stored for at least one month at room temperature.During this period the samples should be shaken strongly at least once a week. At the end of storage the sample should be testedD4306 122for electrical conductivity and wa

34、ter separation. The final electrical conductivity should be no more than 2 pS/m greater than theoriginal value. The water separation rating should decrease by no more than 3three MSEP units.6.2.5 Supplemental testing is necessary if the fuel normally contains additives such as conductivity improvers

35、 which may bedesorbed. In that case a large additive-containing sample which has been stored for a month or longer to equilibrate additivecontent should be used as the test fuel. Such fuel should have a conductivity above 50 pS/m if the additive is conductivity improveradditive; and the MSEP value s

36、hould also be determined. After similar storage for at least one month, the final electricalconductivity should not change more than the repeatability limits of Test Method D2624 or D4308, whichever method is used torate the fuel. The final MSEP rating should be within the repeatability limits for t

37、he initially obtained value.6.2.6 The large container fuel sample should preferably be retained in its original container as a reference sample during thestorage interval, and retested to determine whether a correction, equal to any change in the reference material, should be applied.Similar testing

38、 can be applied for other additives and properties.6.3 Approval Procedure (Immediate Use):6.3.1 All containers found suitable for storage are suitable for immediate use. The following procedure applies to circumstanceswhere fuel samples will not be retained for longer than 24 h, preferably for short

39、er times.6.3.2 The approval procedure is identical to that for storage except that the elapsed time interval between filling containers andtesting should be not less than 24 h.NOTE 3Effects due to containers are sometimes variable depending on fuel sample properties especially if additives are prese

40、nt. Evaluations withseveral fuels or fuel types are helpful to verify conclusions.6.4 Containers for Thermal Stability Testing:6.4.1 Epoxy-lined containers in accordance with 4.1.1 are preferred for immediate testing or sample storage. New containersshould be flushed three times with product being s

41、ampled.6.4.1.1 Used containers should be flushed three times with the container 10 to 20 % filled with trisolvent (6.2.2) or heptane. Foreach flush the container should be closed and shaken for 1 min and the solvent replaced for the next flush. After the last flush isdrained, the container should be

42、 air dried. Alternately, borosilicate glass bottles can be similarly rinsed three times with the fuelto be tested, then drained.6.4.1.2 If the same fuel type containing the same additives is to be resampled, flushing three times with the new sample isconsidered adequate preparation as per flushing i

These materials may have low solubility in hydrocarbonsbut even at trace levels will adversely affect the properties discussed in this practice.
