15、stab-lished by a method-specific interlaboratory study followingRR:D02-10076guidelines or ISO Guides 34 and 35.43.1.2 cold filter plugging point, nhighest temperature,expressed in multiples of 1C, at which a given volume of fuelfails to pass through a standardized filtration device in aspecified tim

16、e when cooled under the conditions prescribed inthis test method.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A specimen of the sample is cooled under specifiedconditions and, at intervals of 1C, is drawn into a pipet undera controlled vacuum through a standardized wire mesh filter.The procedure is repeated, as the

17、 specimen continues to cool,for each 1C below the first test temperature. Testing iscontinued until the amount of wax crystals that have separatedout of solution is sufficient to stop or slow down the flow sothat the time taken to fill the pipet exceeds 60 s or the fuel failsto return completely to

18、the test jar before the fuel has cooled bya further 1C.4.2 The indicated temperature at which the last filtrationwas commenced is recorded as the CFPP.5. Significance and Use5.1 The CFPP of a fuel is suitable for estimating the lowesttemperature at which a fuel will give trouble-free flow incertain

19、fuel systems.5.2 In the case of diesel fuel used in European light dutytrucks, the results are usually close to the temperature of failurein service except when the fuel system contains, for example,a paper filter installed in a location exposed to the weather orif the filter plugging temperature is

20、 more than 12C below thecloud point value in accordance with Test Method D2500,D5771, D5772,orD5773. Domestic heating installations areusually less critical and often operate satisfactorily at tempera-tures somewhat lower than those indicated by the test results.5.3 The difference in results obtaine

21、d from the sample asreceived and after heat treatment at 45C for 30 min can beused to investigate complaints of unsatisfactory performanceunder low temperature conditions.6.
