24、earest unit” in the right-most significant digit used in expressingthe specification limit, in accordance with the rounding method of PracticeE29. For a specification limit expressed as an integer, a trailing zero issignificant only if the decimal point is specified. For a specified limitexpressed a

25、s an integer, and the right-most digit is non-zero, the right-mostdigit is significant without a decimal point being specified. This conven-tion applies to specified limits in this table (4.1) and will not be observedin the remainder of this specification.NOTE 2If denatured fuel ethanol is prepared

26、by the addition ofdenaturants to undenatured fuel ethanol after it has been produced ratherthan during the dehydration process, the 15.56/15.56C (60/60F) specificgravity in air of the undenatured fuel ethanol shall be in the range from0.79370.7977.NOTE 3In some cases, a lower water content may be ne

27、cessary toavoid phase separation of a gasoline-ethanol blend at very low tempera-tures. This reduced water content, measured at the time of delivery, shallbe agreed upon between the supplier and purchaser.NOTE 4Denatured fuel ethanol may contain additives, such as corro-sion inhibitors and detergent

28、s, that may affect the titratable acidity (acidityas acetic acid) of the finished fuel ethanol. Although the base fuel ethanolmay meet the acidity specification, the effect of these additives mayproduce an apparent high titratable acidity of the finished product. Contactthe ethanol supplier if there

29、 is a question regarding the titratable acidity ofyour denatured fuel ethanol to verify that the base ethanol meets theacidity requirements of 4.1.4.2 Other PropertiesLimits more restrictive than thosespecified above, or the specification of additional propertiessuch as color, may be agreed upon bet

Denaturants5.1 The only denaturants used for fuel ethanol shall benatural gasoline, gasoline components, or unleaded gasoline ata minimum concentration of two parts by volume per 100 partsby volume of fuel ethanol. One denatured formula specificallydesigned for

31、fuel use by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax andTrade Bureau (TTB) of the U.S. Treasury Department isFormula C.D.A. 20. It requires that for every 100 gal of ethanolof not less than 195 proof, a total of 2.0 gal of denaturant beadded. Another fuel alcohol rendered unfit for beverage useand manufactured a

The fuel ethanol formulas approved bythe U.S. Treasury Department include materials, which are notallowed by this ASTM specification. This sp

34、ecification prohib-its the use of hydrocarbons with an end boiling point higherthan 225C (437F) as determined by Test Method D86,although they may be permitted by TTB regulations. Somekerosines, for instance, promote piston scuff in automotiveengines. The denaturants permitted by this specification

35、maybe included as part of the 10 volume % denatured fuel ethanolblended with a gasoline if they do not exceed five volume % offuel ethanol. Any part of these denaturants that are present atconcentrations higher than five volume % of fuel ethanol areconsidered as part of the base gasoline. The maximu

36、m dena-turant limits are specified by United States Internal RevenueService (IRS) regulations.NOTE 5TTB regulations concerning the preparation, use, and han-dling of denatured ethanols are published in the United States Code ofFederal Regulations, Title 27, Parts 19, 20, and 21. 27 CFR 19.1005contai

38、 specific mention must be made of somematerials that have extremely adverse effects on fuel stability,automotive engines, and fuel systems. These materials shall notbe used as denaturants for fuel ethanol under any circum-stances. They are as follows: methanol which does not meetSpecification D 1152

39、, pyrroles, turpentine, ketones, and tars(high-molecular weight pyrolysis products of fossil or nonfos-sil vegetable matter). While any significant amount of metha-nol will lower the water tolerance and increase the vaporpressure of a gasoline-ethanol blend, these effects becomemore serious when met

40、hanol is present at more than 2.5 partsby volume per 100 parts by volume of fuel ethanol. Also,methanol, which does not meet Specification D 1152, fre-quently contains impurities, such as turpentine and tars. Simi-larly, ketone denaturants tend to degrade fuel stability orincrease the tendency of a

41、gasoline-ethanol blend to corrodemetals and attack elastomers. These effects become moreserious if the concentration of a ketone such as 4-methylpentanone (methyl isobutyl ketone) exceeds one part byvolume per 100 parts by volume of fuel ethanol. There is noinformation available on the effects of de

42、naturants other thanthose mentioned above; but unless a denaturant, such as ahigher aliphatic alcohol or ether, is known to have no adverseeffect on a gasoline-ethanol blend or on automotive engines orfuel systems, it shall not be used.6. Workmanship6.1 The fuel ethanol shall be visually free of sed

43、iment andsuspended matter. It shall be clear and bright at the ambienttemperature or 21C (70F), whichever is higher.6.2 The specification defines only a basic purity for thisproduct. The product shall be free of any adulterant orcontaminant that may render the material unacceptable for itscommonly u

44、sed applications.7. Sampling, Containers, and Sample Handling7.1 The reader is strongly advised to review all intended testmethods prior to sampling to understand the importance andeffects of sampling technique, proper containers, and specialhandling required for each test method.7.2 Correct samplin

45、g procedures are critical to obtain asample representative of the lot intended to be tested. Useappropriate procedures in Practice D 4057 or Practice E 300for manual method sampling and in Practice D 4177 forautomatic method sampling, as applicable.7.3 The correct sample volume and appropriate conta

46、inerselection are important decisions that can impact test results.Refer to Practice D 4306 for aviation fuel container selectionfor tests sensitive to trace contamination. Refer to PracticeD 5854 for procedures on container selection and samplemixing and handling. All sampling and storage container

47、sshould be evaluated for durability and contamination of fuelethanol prior to use. Fuel ethanol may be sampled in glasscontainers, however sodium leaching from glass containers hasbeen shown to interfere with sulfate analysis. HDPE (highdensity polyethylene) containers may be used in place of glasst

48、o avoid sodium leaching. If samples must be collected in metalcontainers, do not use soldered metal containers. Soldering fluxin the containers and the lead in the solder can contaminate thesample.7.4 Sample SizeA minimum of about 1 L or 1 U.S. qt isrecommended. If specific gravity is to be determin

49、ed by ahydrometer method, additional volume may be required. Thisdepends on the size of the hydrometer.7.5 Lot SizeA lot shall normally consist of the amountcontained in a tanker compartment or other bulk container inwhich it is delivered. If this definition does not apply, thedefinition of a lot must be agreed upon between the supplierand purchaser.NOTE 6See Sections 5, 6, and 7 on Significance, Safety, and Statis-tical Considerations, respectively, of Practice E 300 for a detailed discus-sion of the statistics of sampling.8.
