This test method is suitable for testing samples withboiling points above 0C (32F) that exert a vapor pressurebetween 7 and 130 kPa (1.0 an

No account is madefor dissolved water in the sample.NOTE 1Samples can also be tested at other vapor-to-liquid ratios,temperatures, and pressures, but the precision

Summary of Test Method4.1 A known volume of chilled, air-saturated sample isintroduced into a thermostatically controlled, evacuated testchamber, or a test chamber with a moveable piston thatexpands the volume

19、 after sample introduction, the internalvolume of which is five times that of the total test specimenintroduced into the chamber. After introduction into the testchamber, the test specimen is allowed to reach thermal equi-librium at the test temperature, 37.8C (100F). The resultingrise in pressure i

20、n the chamber is measured using a pressuretransducer sensor and indicator. Only total pressure measure-ments (sum of the partial pressure of the sample and the partialpressure of the dissolved air) are used in this test method,although some instruments can measure the absolute pressureof the sample

21、as well.4.2 The measured total vapor pressure is converted to a dryvapor pressure equivalent (DVPE) by use of a correlationequation (see Eq 1 in 14.2).5. Significance and Use5.1 Vapor pressure is a very important physical property ofvolatile liquids.5.2 The vapor pressure of gasoline and gasoline-ox

22、ygenateblends is regulated by various government agencies.5.3 Specifications for volatile petroleum products generallyinclude vapor pressure limits to ensure products of suitablevolatility performance.5.4 This test method is more precise than Test MethodD 4953, uses a small sample size (1 to 10 mL),

Reagents and Materials7.1 Purity of ReagentsUse chemicals of at

34、least 99 %purity for verification of instrument performance (see Section11). Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended that all reagentsconform to the specifications of the Committee on AnalyticalReagents of the American Chemical Society where suchD5191072specifications are available.5Lower puritie

35、s can be used,provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficientpurity to permit its use without lessening the accuracy of thedetermination.7.1.1 The chemicals in sections 7.3, 7.4, 7.7, and 7.8(blended by mass with pentane) are suggested for verificationof instrument performance (se

36、e Section 11), based on thereference fuels analyzed in the 2003 interlaboratory study(ILS)6(see Table 1). Such reference fuels are not to be used forinstrument calibration. Table 1 identifies the accepted referencevalue (ARV) and uncertainty limits, as well as the acceptabletesting range for each of

37、 the reference fuels listed.NOTE 5Verification fluids reported by 28 of the 29 D 5191 data setparticipants in the 2003 ILS6included the following (with number of datasets identified in parenthesis): 2,2-dimethylbutane (18), cyclopentane (5),pentane (2), 2,3-dimethylbutane (1), 3-methylpentane (1), a

38、nd methanol(1).7.2 Cyclopentane,(WarningCyclopentane is flammableand a health hazard).7.3 2,2-Dimethylbutane,(Warning2,2-dimethylbutane isflammable and a health hazard).7.4 2,3-Dimethylbutane,(Warning2,3-dimethylbutane isflammable and a health hazard).7.5 Methanol,(WarningMethanol is flammable and a

39、health hazard).7.6 2-Methylpentane,(Warning2-methylpentane is flam-mable and a health hazard).7.7 Pentane,(WarningPentane is flammable and a healthhazard).7.8 Toluene,(WarningToluene is flammable and a healthhazard).8. Sampling8.1 General Requirements:8.1.1 The extreme sensitivity of vapor pressure

40、measure-ments to losses through evaporation and the resulting changesin composition is such as to require the utmost precaution andthe most meticulous care in the drawing and handling ofsamples.8.1.2 Obtain a sample and test specimen in accordance withPractice D 4057, except do not use the “Sampling

41、 by WaterDisplacement” section for fuels containing oxygenates. Useeither a 250-mL or 1-L (1-qt) sized container filled between 70and 80 % with sample. For best testing precision (reproduc-ibility), it is recommended that a 1-L sized container be used.NOTE 6The current precision statements were deri

42、ved from the 2003ILS6using samples in 250-mL and 1-L (1-qt) clear glass containers.However, samples in containers of other sizes, as prescribed in PracticeD 4057, may be used with the same ullage requirement if it is recognizedthat the precision can be affected. The differences in precision resultso

43、btained from 250-mL and 1-L containers were found to be statisticallysignificant, whereas there was no statistically observable bias detectedbetween 250-mL and 1-L containers. See Tables 2 and 3, as well as Figs.1 and 2 for more specific details on precision differences as a function ofDVPE value an

44、d container size. In general, numerically better repeatabil-ity values were determined at DVPE values 100 kPa, such as pentane, theprecision appears to worsen with diminishing liquid volume in the bottle.It is recommended that if pentane is used, that the % capacity in thecontainer be $50 %.11.2 Val

45、ues obtained within the acceptable testing rangeintervals in Table 1 indicate that the instrument is performingat the level deemed acceptable by this standard. If valuesoutside the acceptable testing range intervals are obtained,verify the quality of the pure compound(s) and re-check thecalibration

46、of the instrument (see Section 10).NOTE 1240 CFR Part 80 Appendix E, Method 3 provides additionalexamples of verification fluids available along with the Ptotlower andupper control limit reference values (that is, acceptance limits) identifiedfor each material. Just as in this test method, verificat

47、ion fluid resultsdetermined by the EPA method need to fall within the allowable range foracceptance. However, the tolerance intervals for pentane and 2,2 dimeth-ylbutane identified in the EPA method are tighter than in Table 1 of thistest method. In addition, the range covered in the EPA method for

48、thesetwo reference standards differ slightly from the range identified in Table 1,based on the separate EPA study that was conducted. In the EPA method,the Ptotreference value range for pentane is listed as 111.7 to 113.1 kPa(16.20 to 16.40 psi) and for 2,2 dimethylbutane as 73.4 to 75.4 kPa (10.64t

49、o 10.93 psi). Users of this test method that may also be analyzing samplesby the EPA method should be aware of the differences in the verificationfluid acceptance criteria that exist and need to meet the acceptance criteriaidentified in the corresponding method that is being followed.12. Quality Control Checks12.1 After having verified that the instrument is performingproperly, use a quality control (QC) sample that is representa-tive of the fuel(s) routinely tested by the laboratory to confirmthat the instrument is in statistical control followin
