3、oped 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 filter separ

4、ator 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 representative of

5、 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 resulted in im

6、proved 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 the media

7、 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 fieldand laboratory use to rate the ability of kerosine-type aviationturbine fuels, both neat and those con

Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a measurement of the pres-ence of surfactants in aviation turbine fuels. Like previousobsolete Te

27、st Methods D2550 and D3602 and current TestMethod D3948, this test method can detect trace amounts ofrefinery treating chemicals in fuel. The test methods can alsodetect surface active substances added to fuel in the form ofadditives or picked up by the fuel during handling from pointof production t

Some of these substancesdegrade the ability of filter separators to separate free waterfrom the fuel.5.2 This test method yields approximately the same (low)MSEP ratings as Test Method D3948 for fuels that containstrong surfactants.5.2.1 This test method will give approximately the s

29、ameMSEP ratings for Jet A, Jet A-1, JP-5, JP-7, and JP-8 fuels asTest Method D3948 when testing reference fluids.5.3 The MSEP ratings obtained by this test method are lessaffected by weak surfactants than Test Method D3948. Some-what higher MSEP ratings for Jet A, Jet A-1, JP-5, JP-7, andJP-8 fuels

30、are obtained by this test method than those obtainedby Test Method D3948 when additives such as static dissipateradditives (SDA) and corrosion inhibitors are present in thefuel. This correlates with the satisfactory performance of filterseparators for such fuels, when wet. However, these sameadditiv

31、es adversely affect the MSEP ratings obtained by TestMethod D3948 by erroneously indicating that such additizedfuels would significantly degrade the ability of filter separatorsto separate free water from the fuel in actual service.5.4 The Micro-Separometer instrument has an effectivemeasurement ran
