Any fuelor mixture having a flash point less than 38C is

15、considered tobe volatile.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A known volume of fuel is filtered through a pre-weighed test membrane filter and the increase in membranefilter mass is weight determined after washing and drying. Thechange in weight of a control membrane located immediatelybelow the test membr

16、ane filter is also determined. The objec-tive of using a control membrane is to assess whether the fuelitself influences the weight of a membrane. The particulatecontaminant is determined from the increase in mass of the testmembrane relative to the control membrane filter.4.2 In order to ensure saf

17、ety in handling, the test methodrequires that volatile fuels be transferred from the samplecontainer to the funnel without pouring using a support standshown in Fig. 1. Fuels having a verified flash point greater than38C (refer to Test Method D56 or Test Methods D93 orD 3828) may be transferred by p

18、ouring the sample from thesample container directly into the funnel. Bonding of a metallicsample container to the funnel is required. (WarningVolatilefuels such as JP-4 and Jet B or mixtures having flash pointsbelow 38C have been ignited by electrostatic discharges whenpoured through membrane filter

Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a gravimetric measurement ofthe particulate matter present in a sample of aviation turbinefuels delivered to a laboratory for evaluation.

20、The objective isto minimize these contaminants to avoid filter plugging andother operational problems. Although tolerable levels of par-ticulate contaminants have not yet been established for allpoints in fuel distribution systems, the total contaminantmeasurement is normally of most interest.FIG. 1

39、Flushing FluidsPetroleum spirit (also known as pe-troleum ether or IP Petroleum Spirit 40/60), having boilingrange from 35 to 60C. (WarningExtremely flammable.Harmful if inhaled. Vapors are easily ignited by electrostaticdischarges, causing flash fire. See Appendix X2.)7.6 Filtered Flushing FluidsFi

40、ltered fluids are fluids fil-tered through a nominal 0.45-m membrane filter. Filteredflushing fluids are most conveniently obtained by means of thedispenser described in Fig. 2.8. Sampling8.1 All containers and their closures shall be thoroughlycleaned as described in Section 9.8.2 To obtain a repre

41、sentative sample from a fuel stream andto avoid external contamination, the sample may be drawnfrom the flushing fitting of a field sampling kit (see TestMethod D 2276). Ensure that the line is first flushed with thefuel to be sampled and that the line is externally clean.8.3 Whether or not a sampli

42、ng kit is available, suitableprecautions shall be taken to avoid sample contamination bythe use of a suitable sampling point in accordance with TestMethod D 2276. If the quick-disconnect sampling connectionis not used, a stainless steel ball or plug type valve should beselected as its internal desig

43、n avoids the possibility of trappingor generating solid contaminant. Samples that are collected forgeneral laboratory or chemical analysis are not necessarilysuitable for this test method because insufficient care may havebeen taken to avoid particulate contamination.8.4 Where possible a 3.8 to 5-L

44、(1-gal) fuel sample shouldbe taken, preferably in the same container that will be used inthe test to avoid the need to transfer from one container toanother with increased possibility of contamination. Ideally, asample to be tested should be collected in a single containerand transferred to the labo

45、ratory for testing. If the sample iscollected in small containers such as glass bottles and thenshipped to the laboratory, the collection containers shall behandled in a way to flush particulates into the transportcontainer which should be UN/ICAO approved for publictransport. Results obtained by ta

46、king other sample volumes canhave different precisions.8.5 The sample volume shall be quoted with the results. Ifthe sample was transferred from one container to anotherbefore the test was performed, this shall also be noted with thetest results.9. Preparation of Apparatus and Sample Containers9.1 C

Preparation of Test and Control Membrane Filters10.1 Two 47-mm membrane filters of nominal pore size0.8-m are required: a test and a control membrane filter.Matched-weight membrane filters may be used if so desired(see Note 1). If matched-weight membrane filters are used, it isunnecessary to carry out the procedures detailed in this sectionbecause they had been carried out previously by the membranefilter supplier.
