1、Designation: D4306 15 An American National StandardStandard Practice forAviation Fuel Sample Containers for Tests Affected by TraceContamination1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4306; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in t

2、he case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.

3、1 This practice2covers the types of and preparation ofcontainers found most suitable for the handling of aviation fuelsamples for the determination of critical properties affected bytrace contamination.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are

4、 included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard 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 limitations pr

7、mended Practice, Ball-On-Cylinder (Boc) Aircraft Turbine Fuel Lubricity Tester3. Significance and Use3.1 General descriptions for the manual sampling of petro-leum products are given in Practice D4057. However, anumber of aviation fuel properties are established or affectedby trace levels of polar o

8、r other compounds. Measurementsignificance therefore requires that the sample containers notadd or adsorb any materials. This practice presents types andpreparations of sampling containers found satisfactory for thedetermination of water separation, copper corrosion, electricalconductivity, thermal

9、stability, lubricity, and trace metal con-tent. An approval procedure for new containers is also given.3.2 Two properties, particulate contamination and free watercontent, involve materials easily removed by any samplingcontainer. These properties should be determined by placingthe sample directly i

10、nto the measuring apparatus and not usingcontainers to transport the sample to the measuring equipment.3.3 Recommendations in this practice provide guidance forimmediate use and for storage of samples. Immediate useinvolves sample storage for periods less than 24 h.4. Apparatus4.1 Sampling Container

11、s:4.1.1 Epoxy-Coated Containers:4.1.1.1 While generally superior to other coatings, certainepoxy-coatings evolve plasticizers which can adversely affectcritical fuel properties. Because no specification is known todescribe a satisfactory epoxy-coating, 6.2 lists an approvalprocedure which can be use

12、d 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 thecoating covers all inside surfaces. If not, the cans should beconsidered the same as tin-plated, soldered side seam cans.4.1.1.3 Epoxy-coated cans

24、 less than 1 according toTest Method D2624) and an MSEP rating of 98-100 by TestMethod D3948.5.6.2 Compressed Air, clean, dry, oil free and filtered, maybe used to expedite air drying.6. Preparation of Apparatus6.1 Introduction:6.1.1 Experience indicates no single container type to meetsall desired

25、requirements including size and cost. Certaincontainer types have been found suitable for some test methodsbut not for others. Some containers are adequate if the samplesare used immediately but are not suitable for sample storage.The procedure therefore designates the containers to be usedfor each

26、test procedure and describes prior cleaning, if any. Asummary of the procedures is found in Table 1. The detailedprocedures follow below. However, the possibility that a fuelmay contain an unusual contaminant, making a normallysatisfactory container unsuitable should not be overlooked.6.1.2 The larg

27、est sample meeting shipping rules, costs,availability, and other practical considerations should alwaysbe used to minimize surface effects.6.1.3 It is not possible to describe some of the containermaterials by standard specifications or by suitable genericdescriptions. Therefore, an approval procedu

28、re is outlined in6.2.6.1.4 Other sampling details such as sampling taps,labelling, shipping instructions, and so forth will be found inPractice D4057.6.2 Approval Procedure (Stored Samples):6.2.1 If internally coated the new container should beexamined visually for coating integrity in accordance wi

29、th4.1.1.2 and closure suitability in accordance with 4.2.1.6.2.2 Containers should be flushed three times with thecontainer 10 % to 20 % filled with trisolvent (equal volumes of5.1, 5.2, and 5.3), then three times with heptane. For each flush,the container should be closed and shaken for 1 min and t

30、hesolvent replaced for the next flush. After the last flush isdrained, the container should be air-dried.6.2.3 Reference fuel as indicated in 5.6 should be used fortesting.6.2.4 The containers should be filled with reference JetA, orA-1, closed, and stored for at least one month at roomtemperature.

31、During this period the samples should be shakenstrongly at least once a week. At the end of storage the sampleshould be tested for electrical conductivity and water separa-tion. The final electrical conductivity should be no more than2 pS m greater than the original value. The water separationrating

32、 should decrease by no more than three MSEP units.6.2.5 Supplemental testing is necessary if the fuel normallycontains additives such as conductivity improvers which maybe desorbed. In that case a large additive-containing samplewhich has been stored for a month or longer to equilibrateadditive cont

33、ent should be used as the test fuel. Such fuelshould have a conductivity above 50 pS/m if the additive isconductivity improver additive; and the MSEP value shouldalso be determined.After similar storage for at least one month,the final electrical conductivity should not change more thanthe repeatabi

34、lity limits of Test Method D2624 or D4308,whichever method is used to rate the fuel. The final MSEPrating should be within the repeatability limits for the initiallyobtained value.6.2.6 The large container fuel sample should preferably beretained in its original container as a reference sample durin

35、gthe storage interval, and retested to determine whether acorrection, equal to any change in the reference material,should be applied. Similar testing can be applied for otheradditives and properties.6.3 Approval Procedure (Immediate Use):6.3.1 All containers found suitable for storage are suitablef

36、or immediate use. The following procedure applies to circum-stances where fuel samples will not be retained for longer than24 h, preferably for shorter times.D4306 1526.3.2 The approval procedure is identical to that for storageexcept that the elapsed time interval between filling containersand test

37、ing should be not less than 24 h.NOTE 3Effects due to containers are sometimes variable depending onfuel sample properties especially if additives are present. Evaluations withseveral fuels or fuel types are helpful to verify conclusions.6.4 Containers for Thermal Stability Testing:6.4.1 Epoxy-lined

38、 containers in accordance with 4.1.1 arepreferred for immediate testing or sample storage. New con-tainers should be flushed in accordance with 6.4.1.2.6.4.1.1 Used containers should be flushed three times withthe container 10 % to 20 % filled with trisolvent (6.2.2)orheptane. For each flush the con

39、tainer should be closed andshaken for 1 min and the solvent replaced for the next flush.After the last flush is drained, the container should be air dried.6.4.1.2 If the same fuel type containing the same additives isto be resampled, flushing with the product to be sampled isconsidered adequate prep

40、aration. Flushing shall be conductedimmediately prior to sample collection and consists of flushingthe container 3 times with the sample being collected. For eachflush, the container should be 10 to 20 % filled with newsample, closed, and shaken for a minimum of 5 s and the fuelreplaced for the next

41、 flush. After the last flush is drained, thecontainer may be filled (allowing safe ullage) for transport tothe laboratory for testing.6.4.2 New borosilicate glass bottles are satisfactory forimmediate use if cleaned by rinsing with water, acetone, andair drying. Amber bottles are preferred. Clear bo

42、ttles must beshielded from light by wrapping with aluminum foil orenclosure in a dark box or cabinet.6.4.2.1 Follow the instruction in 6.4.1.1 or 6.4.1.2 forreusing borosilicate bottles. Alternately, borosilicate glassbottles can be similarly flushed in accordance with 6.4.1.2provided the same fuel

43、type containing the same additives is tobe resampled.6.4.3 New tin-plated cans with soldered side seams shouldonly be used if the container is cleaned and the sample is usedimmediately.6.4.3.1 Cleaning Before UseHalf fill the container withacetone. Alternatively, a mixture of equal volumes of aceton

44、e,toluene, and isopropanol may be used. Replace closure andshake vigorously for 1 min. Drain the solvent and air dry. Fillthe container about14 full with heptane, replace closure andrepeat shaking, draining the solvent and air drying the con-tainer.NOTE 4Soldered cans often contain residues of solde

45、ring flux orroll-oils on inside surfaces. These materials may have low solubility inhydrocarbons but even at trace levels will adversely affect the propertiesdiscussed in this practice. The difficulties of completely removing thesecontaminants make the use of epoxy-lined containers preferable.TABLE
