Summary

19、of Test Method4.1 A measured volume of about 1 L of fuel is vacuumfiltered through one or more sets of 0.8 m membranes. Eachmembrane set consists of a tared nylon test membrane and atared nylon control membrane. When the level of particulatecontamination is low, a single set will usually suffice; wh

20、en thecontamination is high or of a nature that induces slow filtrationrates, two or more sets may be required to complete filtrationin a reasonable time.4.2 After the filtration has been completed, the membranesare washed with solvent, dried, and weighed. The particulatecontamination level is deter

21、mined from the increase in themass of the test membranes relative to the control membranes,and is reported in units of g/m3or its equivalent mg/L.5. Significance and Use5.1 This is the first ASTM standard test method for assess-ing the mass quantity of particulates in middle distillate fuels.Test Me

22、thod D5452 and its predecessor Test Method D2276were developed for aviation fuels and used 1 gal or 5 L of fuelsample. Using 1 gal of a middle distillate fuel, which cancontain greater particulate levels, often required excessive timeto complete the filtration. This test method used about a quartero

23、f the volume used in the aviation fuel methods.5.2 The mass of particulates present in a fuel is a significantfactor, along with the size and nature of the individualparticles, in the rapidity with which fuel system filters andother small orifices in fuel systems can become plugged. Thistest method

24、provides a means of assessing the mass ofparticulates present in a fuel sample.5.3 The test method can be used in specifications andpurchase documents as a means of controlling particulatecontamination levels in the fuels purchased. Maximum particu-late levels are specified in several military fuel

Preparation of Apparatus and Sample Containers8.1 Clean all components of the filtration apparatus, samplecontainers, their caps and petri dishes as described in 8.1.1-8.1.7.8.1.1 Remove any labels, tags, and so forth.8.1.2 Wash with warm tap water containing detergent.8.1.3 Rinse tho

42、roughly with warm tap water.8.1.4 Rinse thoroughly with reagent water.

43、oroughly with filtered flushing fluid and dry.8.1.7 Keep a clean protective cover (the cover may be rinsedwith filtered flushing fluid), over the top of the samplecontainer until the cap is installed. Similarly protect the funnelopening of the assembled filtration apparatus with a cleanprotective co

44、ver until ready for use.9. Sampling9.1 The sample container shall be 1 L (60.15 L) in volumeand have a screw on cap. Glass containers are preferred tofacilitate a visual inspection of the contents and the containerbefore and after filling. Glass containers also allow for visualinspection of the cont

45、ainer, after the sample is emptied, toconfirm complete rinsing of the container. Epoxy lined samplecans, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) bottles, and high densitylinear polyethylene bottles have also been found suitable assample containers but are less desirable since visual inspectionof the interior

46、 of the container is more difficult. (WarningItis important to note that the entire contents of the samplecontainer are filtered during the conduct of this test method.This includes not only all of the fuel but also all rinsings of theinterior of the container with flushing fluid. Because of this,ta

47、ke care to protect the sample from any external contamina-tion.)9.2 All containers and their caps, sampling lines, and otherequipment used in obtaining the sample for analysis shall bethoroughly cleaned as described in Section 8. When it is notpractical to clean the sample containers in this manner,

48、 thecontainers shall be rinsed three times with the fuel to besampled. When it is not practical to clean the sampling lines,rinse them thoroughly with the fuel to be sampled.9.3 Precautions to avoid sample contamination shall includeselection of an appropriate sampling point. Samples shouldpreferent

49、ially be obtained dynamically from a sampling loop ina distribution line, or from the flushing line of a field samplingkit. Ensure that the line to be sampled is flushed with fuelbefore taking the sample.9.3.1 Where it is desirable or only possible to obtainsamples from static storage, follow the procedures given inPractice D4057 or equivalent, taking precautions for cleanli-ness of all equipment used. Ensure that the sample has notpassed through intermediate containers prior to placement inthe prepared container. (WarningSamples obtained fromstatic s
