For fuel components suchas biodiesel or alcohol, refer to X1.2 and X1.3.1.3 This test method is not

Summary of Test Method4.1 The cleanliness of the glass test tube is tested prior touse in the test.4.2 A sample of the fuel is shaken at room temperatureusing a standardized technique with an aqueous phase inthoroughly cleaned glassware.4.3 The change in volume of the aqueous layer, the app

Significance and Use5.1 The primary use of this test method is to evaluate newadditive packages in specific fuels to ensure that fuel-waterseparability will not be com

20、promised by the use of the additivepackage, either at their normal treat rates or at several times theintended treat rate to evaluate the impact of potential overtreat-ment.5.1.1 Water Volume ChangesUsing this technique revealthe presence of water-soluble components, such as alcohols, inthe fuel.5.1

21、.2 Interface Condition RatingsUsing this techniquereveal the presence of partially soluble components, such assurfactants, in the fuel.5.2 Additives or contaminants that affect the interface couldharm water separation properties of fuels in equipment andquickly inhibit the free flow of fuel through

However, any method thatfacilitates shaking at the prescribed stroke length, frequency,and sample orie

25、ntation as outlined in 10.2 is acceptable.NOTE 2 No suitable vendor for such a machine has been identified. Itremains the responsibility of the user to select an apparatus that meetsthese criteria.6.3 Rating ChartThe line card and fuel clarity rating chartfrom ASTM Adjuncts ADJD417601 and ADJD7451,

(See 10.4.2.)NOTE 3If the line card is not available or fuel clarity is not readilydiscernible from using the line card, then printed text as described in Table1 may be used to assess fuel clarity.TABLE 1 Fuel Clarity RatingsNOTE 1These rating systems have been determined for use in t

Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society,where such specifi

31、cations are available. Other grades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficient purity to permit its use without lessening the accu-racy of the determination.7.2 Purity of WaterUnless otherwise indicated, referencesto water shall be understood to mean distilled wate

32、r or water ofequivalent or greater purity. Any type of water specified inSpecification D1193 may be used.7.3 Glass Cleaning SolutionAcidic non-chromium con-taining cleaning solution. (WarningCorrosive. Health haz-ard. Oxidizing agent.)NOTE 4Contact Subcommittee D02.14 for a list of possible supplier

33、sfor the glass cleaning solutions.7.4 Cleaning Solvent, Reagent GradeTrisolvent (TAM)(as defined by Test Method D2274), n-hexane, n-heptane,methylbenzene, dimethylbenzene, isopropyl alcohol,methanol, or acetone. (WarningFlammable. Health hazard.)8. Sampling8.1 Sampling shall be consistent with the p

34、rocedures ofPractice D4057 or Practice D4177.8.2 A sample of at least 100 mL is required to perform thistest.8.2.1 An aliquot of 100 mL may be removed from a largersample for use in this test, provided the container is adequatelyshaken to homogenize the fuel prior to extracting the sample.8.3 Sample

35、 containers shall be free from all contaminants.The sample container must be compatible with the hydrocar-bon being sampled. If water is suspected in the hydrocarbon,then lined cans are required to prevent corrosion by-productsfrom contaminating the fuel; otherwise, they are preferred.NOTE 5Test met

36、hod results are known to be sensitive to tracecontamination from sampling containers.8.4 Under no circumstances shall the sample be pre-filteredafter collection. Filtration media can remove surfactants, thedetection of which is one of the purposes of this test method.If the test fuel sample is conta

37、minated with particulate matter,allow it to settle before testing.9. Preparation of Apparatus9.1 Clean the test tubes thoroughly before carrying out thistest. Only test tubes that are adequately cleaned can be used.9.1.1 Remove traces of fuel from the test tubes and screwcaps by first rinsing with a

38、 solvent as per 7.4. Follow this initialrinsing of the tubes with washing in hot, non-ionic detergent,rinsing with deionized water, then with a final rinse withacetone.9.1.2 Following the washing described in 9.1.1, immerse thetest tubes in a glass cleaning solution described in 7.3. The typeof clea

39、ning solution and conditions for its use may be estab-lished in each laboratory. The criterion for satisfactory cleaningshall be a matching of the quality of that obtained with chromicacid cleaning solution. The use of a cleaning solution such asthat described in 7.3 is the reference cleaning practi

40、ce. Follow-ing cleaning with the glass cleaning solution, rinse with tapwater, then distilled water and drain.9.1.3 To check for proper cleanliness, completely fill thetube with distilled water, or buffer solution, then rapidly pourout the contents keeping the tube inverted. Glassware thatdrains in

41、a manner such that the glass is evenly water-wet, withno voids or un-wetted areas immediately thereafter, is consid-ered adequately cleaned.NOTE 6Inadequately cleaned glassware used in this test can givemisleading indications of fuel contaminants. Use only test tubes that areadequately cleaned.10. P

42、rocedure10.1 Add 80 6 1 mL at ambient temperature, typically 18 to30C, of the fuel to be tested to the test tube. Measure 20 6 1mL of water or the desired aqueous phase, also at ambienttemperature, typically 18 to 30C, into the test tube. Seal thetest tube with a clean screw cap.10.2 Shake the seale

43、d test tube for 2 min 6 5 s, two to threestrokes per second using 12 to 25-cm length strokes in astraight-line horizontal plane orientation, thus causing thefluids to roll from end to end. (WarningTake care to avoida swirling motion during shaking of the test tube, sinceswirling action tends to brea

44、k any emulsion that might beformed.)10.3 Immediately place the test tube on a vibration-freesurface, and allow the contents to settle, undisturbed, for 5 min.10.4 Without picking up the test tube, record the followingwhile viewing the test tube in diffused light:10.4.1 The volume of the aqueous laye

Precision and Bias12.1 PrecisionIt is not practical to specify the precision ofthe fuel-water separation rating, interface condition rating, orfuel clarity rating because the results of the ratings described inTables 1-3, respectively, are purely qualitative. The tablesassign numbers to descriptions of fuel-water separation, inter-face condition and fuel clarity ratings as a convenient guide toqualitative ratings.12.
