25、in alltests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended that all reagentsshall conform to the specifications of the Committee onAnalytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society, wheresuch specifications are available,7or to Grade 2 of ISO 5272.Other grades may be used, provided it is first ascer

26、tained thatthe reagents lot or batch is of sufficiently high purity to permitits use without lessening the accuracy of the determination.(WarningFlammable. Keep away from heat, sparks andopen flame. Vapor harmful. Toluene is toxic. Particular careshall be taken to avoid breathing the vapors and to p

27、rotect theeyes. Keep the container closed. Use with adequate ventilation.Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with the skin.)7. Sampling, Test Specimens7.1 Sampling, shall include all the steps required to obtain arepresentative portion of the contents of any pipe, tank, or othersystem, and to transf

28、er the sample into the laboratory testcontainer. The laboratory test container and sample volumeshall be of sufficient dimensions and volume to allow mixing asdescribed in 7.3.1. Mixing is required to properly dispersesediment as well as any water present in the sample.7.2 Laboratory SampleUse only

29、representative samplesobtained as specified in Practice D4057 (API MPMS Chapter8.1) or Practice D4177 (API MPMS Chapter 8.2) for this testmethod. Analyze samples within two weeks after taking thesample. Retaining samples longer may affect the results.7.3 Sample PreparationThe following sample prepar

30、a-tion and handling procedure shall apply.7.3.1 Mix the test sample of crude oil at room temperaturein the original container immediately (within 15 min) beforeanalysis to ensure complete homogeneity. A test sample drawndirectly from a large volume dynamic mixing system shall beanalyzed within 15 mi

31、n or else remix as follows:NOTE 2Analysis should follow mixing as soon as possible. The15-min interval mentioned above is a general guideline which may notapply to all crudes, especially some light crudes which do not hold waterand sediment in suspension for even this short a time.7.3.2 Mixing of th

32、e sample should not increase the tempera-ture of the sample more than 10C (20F), or a loss of water6The following filter was used in generating the precision: MSI Nylon 60Membrane Filter from Fisher Scientific, Catalog Number NO-4-SP047-00.

The type ofmixer depends on the quantity of crude. Before any unknownmixer is used, the specifications for the homogeni

35、zation test,Practice D5854 (API MPMS Chapter 8.3), must be met. Themixer must be re-evaluated following any changes in the typeof crude, quantity of crude, or shape of the sample container.7.3.3 For small test sample volumes, 50 to 300 mL, anonaerating, high-speed, shear mixer is required. Use themi

36、xing time, mixing speed, and height above the bottom of thecontainer found to be satisfactory in Practice D5854 (APIMPMS Chapter 8.3). Clean and dry the mixer betweensamples.8. Procedure8.1 Filter PreparationPrepare nylon filters by heating inan oven at 105 6 2C (220 6 4F) for 15 min. Cool and store

37、the dried filters in a cooling vessel (desiccator without desic-cant) until needed. Use only new filters.8.2 Weigh the filter immediately before use to the nearest0.0001 g.8.3 Using tweezers, place the membrane filter on the centerof the filter support, which is mounted on the filtering flaskwith a

38、rubber stopper.Attach the funnel to the filter support andclamp it securely.8.4 Connect the heating coil to the circulating bath andplace the coil around the lower part of the funnel. Set thetemperature of the circulating bath so as to maintain the oil inthe funnel at 90 6 2C (195 6 4F).NOTE 3Care s

39、hould be taken not to overheat the funnel so as to causeevaporation of the toluene and glazing of the filter.8.5 Sample AdditionInto a 200-mL beaker, weigh 10 g ofa thoroughly mixed sample (see Section 7) to the nearest0.0001 g. Add 100 mL of toluene to the beaker and heat themixture with stirring t

40、o 90 6 2C (195 6 4F). Maintain thetemperature at 90 6 2C (195 6 4F) for about 15 min todissolve any wax in the crude.8.6 Start the vacuum pump and adjust the vacuum to80 kPa (24 in. Hg). Carefully pour the sample mixture intothe filter funnel in three portions. Generally the sample shouldfilter in 1

41、0 to 15 min. If the nature of the crude (for example,heavy versus light gravity or high versus low viscosity) or theamount of sediment causes the filtration to proceed extremelyslowly (for example, filtering times greater than 30 min),reduce the sample size to5gorless and repeat the test. Keepthe vo

42、lume of toluene at 100 mL.NOTE 4If the filtration of a given crude typically takes less than10 min and the sample stays at 90 6 2C (195 6 4F) during this time,then external heating of the filter funnel may not be necessary.8.7 Filter WashingBefore the last portion of sample hascompletely filtered, w

43、ash the funnel and filter with 50 mL ofhot toluene (90C, 195F) until no oil is visible on the filter.With the vacuum on, leave the filter on the apparatus for 2 min.8.8 Apparatus DisassemblyDisassemble the filter appara-tus by removing the clamp and funnel. Inspect the condition ofthe filter. If the

44、 filter has been properly mounted, it may not benecessary to wash the edges after disassembly. However, ifupon removing the funnel dark spots are observed around theedge of the filter further washing is necessary.With the vacuumon, use a dropper to wash the filters edges with hot toluene(90C, 195F).

45、8.9 If the filter is completely or partially covered with blackor dark brown crude oil residue after the washing step above,then discard the filter and repeat the test with a smaller samplesize.NOTE 5Normally the color of the sediment on the filter is gray or lighttan. A black or deep brown colored

46、deposit on the filter is indicative ofincomplete washing.8.10 If the appearance of the filter is acceptable (as in 8.9)then carefully remove it and place it in an oven at 105C(220F) for 15 min. Cool in the cooling vessel to roomtemperature (5 to 10 min) and reweigh to the nearest 0.0001 g.9. Calcula

47、tion9.1 Calculate the mass percent of sediment as follows:S 5m22 m1ms3 100 (1)where:S = sediment content of the sample as a percentage bymass,m1= mass of the filter, g,m2= mass of the filter with the sediment, g, andms= mass of the sample, g.10. Report10.1 Report results to the nearest 0.001 % as th

48、e masspercent of sediment by membrane filtration. The test reportshall reference this Test Method D4807 (API MPMS Chapter10.8) as the procedure used.NOTE 6Since water and sediment values are commonly reported asvolume percent, calculate the volume of the sediment as a percentage ofthe original sampl

49、e.As a major portion of the sediment probably would besand (silicon dioxide, which has a density of 2.32) and a small amount ofother naturally occurring materials (with a relative density lower than thatof sand), use an arbitrary density of 2.0 for the resulting sediment. Then,to obtain volume percent sediment, divide the mass percent sediment by2.0 and multiply by the relative density of the crude oil.
