Summary of Test Method4.1 A 1-L H2S-inert test container (glass test bottle) is filledto 50 volume % with fuel oil from a filled H2S-inert container(glass sample bottle) just prior to testing. In the test container,the vapor space above the fuel oil sample is purged withnitrogen to displace a

Use extreme care in the sampling and handling ofsamples that are suspected of containing high lev

12、els of H2S.).5.2 This test method has been developed to provide refin-eries, fuel terminals, and independent testing laboratories,which do not have access to analytical instruments such as agas chromatograph, with a simple and consistent field testmethod for the rapid determination of H2S in the vap

Interferences6.1 Typically, sulfur dioxide and mercaptans may causepositive int

18、erferences. In some cases, nitrogen dioxide cancause a negative interference. Most detector tubes will have aprecleanse layer designed to remove certain interferences up tosome maximum interferant level. Consult the manufacturersinstructions for specific interference information.7. Apparatus7.1 Shak

20、perature measuring devices insertedthrough it that is capable of accurately measuring the tempera-ture of the sample at 60 6 1C as required in the procedure andextending at least 25 mm into the residual fuel but no closerthan 25 mm from the bottom of a test bottle (see Fig. 1(a). Adial thermometer h

21、aving a range of 18 to 82C and a 200mmstem has been found suitable to use.7.4 Oven or Water Bath, capable of heating the fuel oilsamples to 60 6 1C.7.5 Detector Tube Pump, a hand-operated piston or bellows-type (Fig. 1(b) pump with a capacity of 100 cm36 5cm3perstroke.4It must be specifically design

22、ed for use with detectortubes. (WarningA detector tube and pump together form aunit and must be used as such. Each manufacturer calibratesdetector tubes to match the flow characteristics of its specificpump. Crossing brands of pumps and tubes is not permitted, asconsiderable loss of system accuracy

23、is likely to occur.)8. Reagents and Materials8.1 ContainersBoth sample and test containers are com-posed of H2S-inert material such as 1-L size (clear Bostonround-bottom) glass bottles with screw caps. The bottles areclean and dry. Mark test containers at the 50 % volume level byusing a ruler. (Warn

24、ingHydrogen sulfide reacts with metalsurfaces and is easily oxidized, which depletes its concentra-tion and gives false low test results. Containers such asepoxy-lacquered cans are suitable for sample collection. Alter-native containers must give equivalent results to those obtainedby using glass.)8

25、.2 Length-of-Stain Detector Tube and Calibration Scale,asealed glass tube with breakoff tips sized to fit the tube holderof the detector tube pump. The reagent layer inside the tube,typically a silica gel substrate coated with the active chemicals,must be specific for hydrogen sulfide and must produ

26、ce adistinct color change when exposed to a sample of gascontaining hydrogen sulfide. Any substances known to inter-fere must be listed in the instructions accompanying the tubes.A calibration scale should be marked directly on the tube, orother markings that provide for easy interpretation (reading

27、) ofhydrogen sulfide content from a separate calibration scaleshould be supplied with the tubes. The calibration scale shallcorrelate H2S concentration to the length of the color stain.Annex A1 provides additional information. Shelf life of thedetector tubes must be a minimum of two years from the d

28、ateof manufacture, when stored according to the manufacturersrecommendations.9. Sampling9.1 The sampling of residual fuel oils is done according toPractice D 4057 for the sampling of storage tanks, ships, orbarges. Composite sampling or running samples can be taken;spot samples should be taken from

29、the midpoint or belowmidpoint of the fuel oil in a storage tank by first sufficientlypurging sample transfer lines and then taking single sampleswhere each sample comprises one and only one test.3Baxter Scientific Product Models 3518 and 30100, or equivalent, are suitablefor this test.4Direct Readin

31、y otherpurpose, as any additional handling can lead to loss of H2S andthus low results.)NOTE 1Liquid samples taken well into the fuel oil have had less H2Slost by degassing as compared with a fuel oils surface. Samples takenfrom well within the fuel oil storage provide material that represents thegr

32、eatest potential for H2S exposure during fuel oil movements. Hydrogensulfide is lost by degassing (elevated temperature and mechanical agitationincreases H2S degassing), oxidation, and absorption on water-wet sur-faces.9.2 Fill at least two 1-L size sample containers with fuel oil.Minimize the heads

33、pace of the sample container. Cap imme-diately and deliver to the testing facility. Test each samplewithin one to four hours from the time of sampling.9.3 Sample integrity is extremely important; therefore,sample containers must be composed of inert materials, fillednearly completely with liquid, an

34、d capped tightly until tested.Sample handling should be minimized, and rapid testing forH2S is required. Samples can not be stored for later testing asH2S loss may occur by the mechanism described in Note 1.10. Procedure10.1 Let each filled sample container sit at room tempera-ture for at least 1 h,

35、 transfer part of its contents to an empty 1-Ltest bottle such that it is filled 50 % 6 5 volume % with thesample. Discard the remaining contents of the sample containerin compliance with applicable laws. A single test is to beperformed on material from an individual sample container.10.2 Insert a n

36、itrogen purge line outlet to within about 13mm above the fuel surface. Nitrogen purge at 2 L/min for 30 sthe headspace above the test sample to displace air and watervapor. Minimize the time the bottle is open to avoid further lossof sample vapors. Close the test bottle opening (gas tight) witha cor

37、k stopper fitted with a dial thermometer (Fig. 1(a)immediately after nitrogen purging.10.3 Place each test bottle with sample in an oven or a waterbath, set at 60 6 1C, until the sample temperature reaches 606 1C. Keep the sample in the oven or bath for a minimum of30 min, which includes the time fo

38、r the sample to reach 60C.NOTE 2If the sample temperature does not reach 60C, low resultswill be obtained for the H2S concentration. If the temperature exceeds60C, high results will be obtained for the H2S concentration.10.4 While the sample is heating, place an unbroken length-of-stain detector tub

39、e in the hand-operated pump and test thepump for leaks. Consult the manufacturers instructions forleak check procedure details and for maintenance instructionsif leaks are detected. The leak check typically takes 1 min.10.5 Remove the test bottle from the oven and place it in thefour-prong clamp of

40、the shaker. Shake at 220 rpm for 3 min 61sto achieve H2S equilibrium between the liquid and thevapor phase.10.6 Rest the test bottle on a flat surface, remove the stopperwith the dial thermometer, and immediately seal the top of thebottle with aluminum foil.10.7 Select a detector tube with a range t

41、hat best encom-passes the expected H2S concentration. Reading accuracy isimproved when the stain length extends into the upper half ofthe calibration scale.10.8 Break off the tube tips and insert the tube into thepump, observing the flow direction indication on the tube.Insert the tube through the a

42、luminum foil on the test bottle.Rest the pump on top of the test bottle with the detector tubeonly contacting the samples vapor phase. Do not allow thedetector tube to contact the liquid, see Fig. 1(b). Use one fullcompression stroke.10.9 Remove the detector tube after complete decompres-sion of the

43、 pump and immediately read the H2S concentrationfrom the tubes calibration scale or from the charts provided inthe box of tubes. Read the tube at the maximum point of thestain. If channeling has occurred (non-uniform stain length),read the maximum and minimum stain lengths and average thetwo reading

44、s. (WarningIf the calibration scale is not printeddirectly on the detector tube, be certain that any separatecalibration chart is the proper match for the tube in use to avoidincorrect results.)10.10 If the calibration scale specifies more than one stroke,correct the reading as below:ppm v/v correct

45、ed!5ppm v/v reading!3specified strokes (1)NOTE 3If the test is being conducted at an altitude above 610 m,corrections for barometric pressure are significant. In this case, correct thereading as below:ppm v/v corrected!5ppm v/v reading!3 101.325 kPa!/barometric pressure, kPa!(2)10.11 If the detector

46、 tube reading is over- or under-ranged,take another detector tube of a different range and test a secondsample of the fuel oil. Do not repeat testing on a previouslytested sample or reuse detector tubes. Continue the testingusing different ranged detector tubes and new samples untileither the readin

47、g is on-scale or less than 5 ppm v/v.10.12 After obtaining a satisfactory first result, repeat thetest with another sample of the same fuel oil and a freshdetector tube.10.13 Record the raw readings, the readings corrected fornumber of strokes, the readings corrected for barometricpressure, and the

48、test temperature.11. Calculation and Report11.1 Determine the average of the readings from the dupli-cate test samples and report the average H2S concentration inparts per million (ppm v/v) for each test along with the testtemperature.12. Precision and Bias512.1 PrecisionThe precision of this test m
