Summary of Test Method4.1 After insertion of the specimen into the apparatus and initiation of the program, the prescribed specimen test cell (An

26、nexA1) is heated and then linearly cooled at a specified rate (11.6). The specimen is continuously monitored by an opposing opticallight barrier (Annex A1 and Fig. A1.3) for the crystal structure formation. The temperature, when the crystallization of the waxin the specimen is detected by the optica

27、l barrier, is recorded with a resolution of 0.1 C.The specimen is then heated to the originalstarting temperature.5. Significance and Use5.1 For petroleum products and diesel fuels, the cloud point is an index of the lowest temperature of its utility for certainapplications. Wax crystals of sufficie

28、nt quantity can plug filters used in some fuel systems.5.2 Petroleum blending operations require precise measurement of the cloud point.5.3 This test method can determine the temperature of the test specimen at which wax crystals have formed sufficiently to beobserved as a cloud, with a resolution o

29、f 0.1 C.5.4 This test method provides results that when rounded to the next lower integer are equivalent to Test Method D2500.5.5 This test method is more precise than Test Method D2500.6. Apparatus6.1 Automatic Apparatus4The automatic cloud point apparatus described in AnnexA1 consists of a micropr

30、ocessor-controlledmeasuring unit that is capable of heating, cooling, optically observing the appearance of the automatic cloud point, and recordingthe temperature of the specimen. The apparatus shall be equipped with a digital display, cooling/heating block assembly, opticallight barrier assembly,

31、and a test cell of the approximate dimensions listed in Annex A1, and contain a temperature measuringdevice.6.2 Beaker, glass or plastic (disposable) (50 mL), for containing the sample prior to introduction into the test cell.6.3 Circulating Bath, a refrigeration unit equipped with a circulating pum

32、p capable of maintaining a temperature at least 20 Clower than the lowest expected cloud point to be measured.7. Reagents and Materials7.1 Cleaning Solvents, suitable for cleaning and drying the test cell, such as petroleum naphtha and acetone. (WarningFlammable. Liquid causes eye burns. Vapor is ha

33、rmful. May be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed or inhaled.)7.2 Methyl Alcohol, anhydrous, for use as cooling medium in circulating bath.7.3 Lint-free filter paper may be used as a drying medium.8. Sampling8.1 Obtain a sample in accordance with PracticesPractice D4057 or D4177.8.2 Samples of ver

34、y viscous materials may be warmed until they are reasonably fluid before they are sampled. However, nosample should be heated more than absolutely necessary.8.3 The sample shall not be heated above 70 C. When the sample is heated above 70 C, allow the sample to cool below 70 Cbefore filtering or ins

35、erting into the apparatus.8.4 When moisture is present in the sample, remove the moisture by a method such as filtration through dry, lint-free filter paperuntil the oil is perfectly clear. Make such filtration at a temperature at least 14 C above the expected cloud point.NOTE 1Moisture will be noti

36、ced in the sample as a separate phase or as a haze throughout the entire sample. Generally, a slight haze will not interferewith the detection of the wax cloud.9. Preparation of Apparatus9.1 Prepare the instrument for operation in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.9.2 Clean and dry the

37、test cell using suitable solvents as prescribed by the manufacturer.9.3 Prepare the refrigerated circulating bath for operation in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and allow it toattain a temperature at least 20 C lower than the expected cloud point of the sample.4 The sole source of s

38、upply of the Herzog Model SC 815 and SC 819 known to the committee at this time is Walter Herzog, Lauda, Germany. If you are aware of alternativesuppliers, please provide this information to ASTM International Headquarters. Your comments will receive careful consideration at a meeting of the respons

39、ible technicalcommittee,1 which you may attend.D5772 17310. Calibration and Standardization10.1 Ensure that all of the manufacturers instructions for calibrating, checking, and operating the apparatus are followed.10.2 A sample with a mutually agreed upon cloud point can be used to verify performanc

40、e of the apparatus.11. Procedure11.1 Pour at least 20 mL of the sample into the beaker. When necessary, heat the sample in a water bath or oven until it is justsufficiently fluid to pour into the beaker.11.2 Place the beaker under the entrance of the test cell and start the test in accordance with t

41、he manufacturers instructions.11.3 When the expected cloud point is known to be above 25 C, preselect a starting temperature which is at least 14 C abovethe expected cloud point. The highest starting temperature that can be programmed is 70 C.11.4 When the expected cloud point is known to be at or b

42、elow 25 C, the test duration can be shortened by preselecting astarting temperature which is at least 14 C above the expected cloud point. The lowest starting temperature that can beprogrammed is 20 C.11.5 When the expected cloud point is not known, preselect a starting temperature of 40 C. The appa

43、ratus automatically heatsthe test specimen to approximately 40 C when a starting temperature is not selected. When the expected cloud point is not knownand the sample needs to be heated before transferring into the test specimen beaker, preselect a starting temperature of 70 C.11.6 A portion of the

44、sample is drawn into the test cell. Initially, the specimen is heated to 40 C or to a starting temperaturepreselected by the operator between 20 C and 70 C. The flow of the cooling fluid from the circulating bath is then regulated tomaintain the rate of cooling of the specimen at 1 C 6 0.2 C per min

45、 (see Note 2). The specimen is continuously monitored bythe optical light barrier and the specimen temperature is continuously displayed.At the detection of the automatic cloud point, thetemperature the specimen attained, to within 0.1 C resolution, is held on the digital display until cleared by th

46、e operator. Thespecimen is then heated to 40 C or to the preselected starting temperature.NOTE 2Although the apparatus is capable of faster cooling rates of 2 C or 3 C min, the interlaboratory program does not address the equivalencyand precision of results using these cooling rates.11.7 Clean the t

47、est cell by flushing solvents through the cell and then dry with clean air according to the manufacturersinstructions.NOTE 3Some apparatus is capable of automatic cleaning of the test cell and automatic sample changing.12.
