3、as developed to satisfy three objectives: (1) Develop a test method that wouldrespond in the same manner as Test Method D3948 to strong surfactants, but not give lowmicro-separometer (MSEP) ratings to fuels containing weak surfactants (additives) that do not degradethe performance of commercial filt

4、er separator elements; (2) Use filter media in the coalescer test thatwould be representative of the filtration media in commercial filter separator elements; and (3)Improve the precision of the test method compared to Test Method D3948.This test method was developed using material that is represent

5、ative of coalescing materialscurrently used in commercial filter separator elements. The fiberglass coalescing material used in TestMethod D3948 was suitable for coalescing filters in use when that test method was developed, butdevelopments in coalescing elements in the intervening years have result

6、ed in improved materials thatare not affected by weak surfactants. Test Method D3948 yields low results on some additized fuelsthat do not affect the performance of filter separators (coalescing filters) in actual service. Since thistest method was developed with material that is representative of t

7、he media used in current filterseparators, the results by this test method are more relevant to performance in current filter separators.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers a rapid portable means for field and laboratory use to rate the ability of kerosine-type aviationturbine fuels, both neat and

8、those containing additives, to release entrained or emulsified water when passed through fiberglasscoalescing material.1.1.1 This test method is applicable to kerosine-type aviation turbine fuels including: Jet A and Jet A-1 (as described inSpecification D1655); JP-5, JP-7, JP-8, and JP-8+100.

Summary of Test Method4.1 A water/fuel sample emulsion is created in a syringe usi

28、ng a high-speed mixer. The emulsion is then expelled from thesyringe at a programmed rate through a specific fiberglass coalescer, the MCell Coalescer,6 and the effluent is analyzed foruncoalesced water (that is, dispersed water droplets) by a light transmission measurement. The Micro-Separometer in

29、strument hasan effective range of 50-to-100 scaled to the nearest whole number. A test can be performed in 5 to 10 minutes.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a measurement of the presence of surfactants in aviation turbine fuels. Like previous obsolete TestMethods D2550 and D3602 a

30、nd current Test Method D3948, this test method can detect trace amounts of refinery treatingchemicals in fuel. The test methods can also detect surface active substances added to fuel in the form of additives or picked upby the fuel during handling from point of production to point of use. Some of t

31、hese substances degrade the ability of filterseparators to separate free water from the fuel.5.2 This test method yields approximately the same (low) MSEP ratings as Test Method D3948 for fuels that contain strongsurfactants.5.2.1 This test method will give approximately the same MSEP ratings for Je

32、t A, Jet A-1, JP-5, JP-7, and JP-8 fuels as TestMethod D3948 when testing reference fluids.5.3 The MSEP ratings obtained by this test method are less affected by weak surfactants than Test Method D3948. Somewhathigher MSEP ratings for Jet A, Jet A-1, JP-5, JP-7, and JP-8 fuels are obtained by this t

33、est method than those obtained by TestMethod D3948 when additives such as static dissipater additives (SDA) and corrosion inhibitors are present in the fuel. Thiscorrelates with the satisfactory performance of filter separators for such fuels, when wet. However, these same additives adverselyaffect

34、the MSEP ratings obtained by Test Method D3948 by erroneously indicating that such additized fuels would significantlydegrade the ability of filter separators to separate free water from the fuel in actual service.5.4 The Micro-Separometer instrument has an effective measurement range from 50 to 100

35、. Values obtained outside of thoselimits are undefined and invalid.NOTE 1In the event a value greater than 100 is obtained, there is a good probability that light transmittance was reduced by material, typically water,contained in the fuel that was used to set the 100 reference level. During the coa

36、lescing portion of the test, the contaminating material as well as the 506 1 L of distilled water was subsequently removed during this portion of the test. Thus, the processed fuel had a higher light transmittance than thefuel sample used to obtain the 100 reference level resulting in the final rati

37、ng measuring in excess of 100.6. Interferences6.1 Any suspended particles, whether solid or water droplets or haze, in a fuel sample will interfere with this test method, whichutilizes light transmission of a fuel sample after emulsification with water and subsequent coalescence.7. Apparatus7.1 Micr

38、o-Separometer Instrument7is used to perform the test. The unit is completely portable and self-contained, capable ofoperating on an (optional) internal rechargeable battery pack or being connected to an ac power source using power cords whichare available for various voltages. Connection to an ac po

39、wer source will provide power to the unit and effect battery recharge.The power cords, test accessories and operators manual can be packed in the cover of the lockable case.NOTE 2An extensive study was performed to verify that the Mark X Micro-Separometer instrument gives equivalent results to the M

40、ark V DeluxeMicro-Separometer instrument. See Research Report RR:D02-1647.8NOTE 3The Mark X has a universal power supply and requires only one power cord as compared to the Mark V Deluxe that requires individual powercords for different voltages.7.1.1 Review the Operating Manual of the Micro-Separom

41、eter instrument that is furnished with each unit (and is also availablefrom the manufacturers website) for operating instructions. The instrument is not field repairable. Also note that this instrumentis designed to perform a number of different functions in addition to this specific test method.7.1

42、.2 The Micro-Separometer Mark V Deluxe and Mark X instruments and associated control panels are shown in Fig. 1 andFig. 2, respectively. The emulsifier is on the right side of the raised panel and the syringe drive mechanism is on the left side. Thecontrol panel containing the operating controls is

43、mounted on the fixed panel in the left side of the case. Table 1 lists the manualand audio operating characteristics of the instrument.7.1.3 All of the controls are located in a push-button array on the control panel. The push-buttons illuminate when depressedthus indicating operational status. A ci
