1、Designation: D 7151 05Standard Test Method forDetermination of Elements in Insulating Oils by InductivelyCoupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 7151; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal ad

2、option or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method describes the determination of metalsand contaminant

3、s in insulating oils by inductively coupledplasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The specificelements are listed in Table 1. This test method is similar toTest Method D 5185, but differs in methodology, which resultsin the greater sensitivity required for insulating oil applica-tions.1.2 Th

4、is test method uses oil-soluble metals for calibrationand does not purport to quantitatively determine insolubleparticulates. Analytical results are particle size dependent, andlow results are obtained for particles larger than severalmicrometers.21.3 This test method determines the dissolved metals

5、 (whichmay originate from overheating) and a portion of the particu-late metals (which generally originate from a wear mecha-nism). While this ICP method detects nearly all particles lessthan several micrometers, the response of larger particlesdecreases with increasing particle size because larger

6、particlesare less likely to make it through the nebulizer and into thesample excitation zone.1.4 This test method includes an option for filtering the oilsample for those users who wish to separately determinedissolved metals and particulate metals (and hence, totalmetals).1.5 Elements present at co

7、ncentrations above the upper limitof the calibration curves can be determined with additional,appropriate dilutions and with no degradation of precision.1.6 The values stated in SI (metric) units are to be regardedas the standard. The inch-pound units given in parentheses arefor information only.1.7

8、 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and to determine theapplicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Referenced Doc

Summary of Test Method4.1 A weighed portion

17、of a thoroughly homogenized insu-lating oil is diluted 2.5:1 by weight with kerosine or othersuitable solvent. Standards are prepared in the same manner.An internal standard is added to the solutions to compensate forvariations in test specimen introduction efficiency. The solu-tions are introduced

18、to the ICP instrument by a peristalticpump. If free aspiration is used, an internal standard must beused. By comparing emission intensities of elements in the testspecimen with emission intensities measured with the stan-dards, the concentrations of elements in the test specimen arecalculated.5. Sig

19、nificance and Use5.1 This test method covers the rapid determination of 12elements in insulating oils, and it provides rapid screening ofused oils for indications of wear. Test times approximateseveral minutes per test specimen, and detectability is in the10-100 g/kg range.5.2 This test method can b

Follow the ICP manufac-turers operating guide to develop and apply correction factorsto compensate for the interferences. To apply interferencecorrections, all concentrations must be with

22、in the previouslyestablished linear response range of each element listed inTable 1.6.1.1 Spectral interferences can usually be avoided byjudicious choice of analytical wavelengths. When spectralinterferences cannot be avoided, the necessary correctionsshould be made using the computer software supp

23、lied by theICP manufacturer or the empirical method given in TestMethod C 1109 or by Boumans.46.1.2 Interference correction factors can be negative ifoff-peak background correction is employed for an element. Anegative correction factor can result when an interfering line isencountered at the backgr

24、ound correction wavelength ratherthan at the peak wavelength.6.2 Viscosity EffectsDifferences in the viscosities of thetest specimen solutions and standard solutions can causedifferences in the uptake rates. These differences can adverselyaffect the accuracy of the analysis. The effects can be reduc

25、edby using a peristaltic pump to deliver solutions to the nebulizeror by the use of internal standardization, or both.6.3 ParticulatesThe use of an internal standard willreveal when particulates cause flow problems. Use of aBabington-type high-solids nebulizer helps to minimize plug-ging of the nebu

26、lizer. Also, the specimen introduction systemcan limit the transport of particulates, and the plasma canincompletely atomize larger particulates, thereby causing lowresults.6.4 Solvent MoistureExcessive moisture (30 mg/kg) inthe kerosine used for dilution can cause poor recovery of someelements. Thi

27、s can be minimized by checking each lot ofkerosine for moisture content using Test Method D 1744 andby analyzing all diluted standards and test specimens within 24h of preparation.7. Apparatus7.1 Balance, top loading, with automatic tare, capable ofweighing to 0.001g, capacity of at least 150 g. A b

28、alance witha capacity of at least 250 g is required if preparing the InternalStandard according to 10.2.7.2 Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic EmissionSpectrometerEither a sequential or simultaneous spectrom-eter is suitable, if equipped with a quartz ICP torch and RFgenerator to form and maintain th

29、e plasma. Suggested wave-lengths for the determination of the elements in insulating oilare given in Table 1.7.3 NebulizerUse the nebulizer recommended by the ICPmanufacturer. A Babington-type4high-solids nebulizer may beuseful if samples contain high solids. This type of nebulizerreduces the possib

30、ility of clogging and minimizes aerosolparticle effects.7.4 Peristaltic PumpA peristaltic pump is required toprovide a constant flow of solution. The pump tubing must beable to withstand at least 6 h exposure to the dilution solvent.Viton tubing is typically used with hydrocarbon solvents, andpoly (

31、vinyl chloride) tubing is typically used with methylisobutyl ketone.7.5 Solvent Dispenser, (optional) A solvent dispensercalibrated to deliver the required weight of dilution solvent isvery useful. This dispenser should have at least 1 % accuracyand 0.1 % precision.7.6 Internal Standard Dispenser, (

35、ss or plastic vials, with screw caps or snap-top caps.8. Reagents and Materials8.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents conform to the specifications of the Committee onAnalytical Reagents of the American Che

36、mical Society wheresuch specifications are available.5Other grades may be used,provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficientlyhigh purity to permit its use without introducing a significantsource of error.8.2 Base OilU.S.P. White oil or any mineral oil that is freeof analytes an

37、d having a viscosity at room temperature as closeas possible to that of the samples to be analyzed.8.3 Internal StandardOil-soluble scandium, cobalt, oryttrium is required when the internal standardization option isselected.8.4 Organometallic StandardsMulti-element standards,containing 3.0 and 10.0

38、g/g of each element, can be purchasedor prepared from the individual concentrates. Refer to PracticeD 4307 for a procedure for preparation of multicomponentliquid blends. When preparing multi-element standards, anultrasonic bath is recommended to ensure that complete mixingis achieved. It is highly

39、recommended to purchase the stan-dards because of the difficulty in preparing multi-elementstandards.8.5 Dilution SolventReagent grade kerosine is recom-mended as a dilution solvent. Another solvent (such as tolueneor xylene) may be used if it is free of all analytes andcompletely dissolves all stan

40、dards and samples.9. Hazards9.1 Kerosine is classified as a combustible liquid and mustbe kept away from all ignition sources. If the ICP is allowed tooperate unattended, equipment malfunctions could cause leak-age of kerosine.10. Internal Standardization10.1 The internal standard procedure requires

41、 that every testspecimen solution have the same concentration of an internalstandard element that is not present in the original specimen.Specimen to specimen changes in the emission intensity of theinternal standard element can be used to correct for variationsin the test specimen introduction effi

42、ciency, which is dependenton the physical properties of the test specimen.10.2 Internal Standard SolutionWeigh 25.0 6 0.1g of2000 g/g scandium-in-oil (or cobalt- or yttrium-in-oil) stan-dard into a 500-mL Erlenmeyer flask. Add kerosine to make atotal of 250 6 1 g. Mix this solution thoroughly and tr

43、ansfer tothe reservoir for the internal standard container or dispenser.The concentration of the internal standard is not required to be200 g/g. However, the concentration of the internal standardelement should be at least 100 times its detection limit.11. Sampling and Sample Handling11.1 Laboratory

44、 samples must be taken in accordance withthe instructions in Practices D 923.11.2 It is important to homogenize the insulating oil in thesample container in order to obtain a representative testspecimen. Mix the insulating oil sample vigorously by invert-ing several times.11.3 (Optional) To separate

45、ly determine the dissolved met-als and particulate metals, filter the oil sample through a 0.45 filter. The particles on the filter paper must then be dissolvedor digested by a technique not addressed by this test method.12. Preparation of Test Specimens and Standards12.1 All test specimens and stan

46、dards must be mixedthoroughly when diluted with kerosine and the internal stan-dard. They must all be prepared from the same batch of internalstandard. All prepared solutions must be analyzed within 24 hof preparation.12.2 BlankPrepare a blank by adding 6.00 6 0.02 g baseoil, 1.00 6 0.01 g internal

47、standard solution, and 8.00 6 0.03g kerosine to a 30-mL polyethylene or glass vial.12.3 Working StandardPrepare a calibration standard byadding 6.00 6 0.02 g of the 10 g/g multi-element standard,1.00 6 0.01 g internal standard solution, and 8.00 6 0.03 gkerosine to a 30-mL polyethylene vial.12.4 Che

Other concentrations may be used for the checkstandard as long as they are not prepared from the 10 g/gstandard used for calibratio

49、n.12.5 Test SpecimenAdd 6.00 6 0.02 g of a well-homogenized sample, 1.00 6 0.01 g internal standard solution,and 8.00 6 0.03 g kerosine to a 30-mL polyethylene vial. If theanalysis report indicates a concentration above the linear range,prepare a 10-fold dilution by adding 0.60 6 0.01 g of thesample, 5.40 6 0.02 g base oil, 1.00 6 0.01 g internal standardsolution, and 8.00 6 0.03 g kerosine to a 30-mL polyethylenevial. Identify the sample as a 10X dilution and ensure that theinstrument software will correct the concentrations for theadditional dilut
