Once the hydrocarbons of interest are sensedby the flame ionization detector, the carrier gas pressure/flow atthe head of the column is lowered and an auxiliary gas supplylocated at the end of the column is incr

17、eased. The change inpressure forces the direction of the carrier gas to reversedirection and flow back through the injector. The residualhydrocarbons on the column are back-flushed out of theinjector through a charcoal trap and out the split vent. Thedetector signal is processed by an electronic dat

However, excessive fueldilution can lead to decreased performance, premature wear, orsudden engine failure. This test method provides a means ofquantifying the

20、level of fuel dilution, allowing the user to takenecessary action. This test method does not purport to accu-rately quantify the specific fuel present in the in-servicelubricant samples due to limitations associated with the agingand degradation of the fuel in the crankcase. Rather, quantifi-cation

21、of diesel fuel is normalized using a simulated aged fuel.6. Interferences6.1 There may be some overlap of the boiling ranges ofgasoline, diesel, and biodiesel fuels and some new oils couldhave light hydrocarbons or formulated additives present frommanufacturing. As a result, small deviations in quan

22、titativeanalysis could accrue when testing unknown or mixed brandsof in-service engine oil.7. Apparatus7.1 Gas ChromatographThe following gas chromato-graphic system performance characteristics are required:7.2 DetectorThis test method requires a flame ionizationdetector (FID). The detector shall ha

23、ve sufficient sensitivity todetect 0.5 mass % fuel dilution by area on the data acquisitiondevice under the conditions recommended in this test method.The detector shall meet or exceed the specifications as detailedin Practice E594. The detector shall be capable of operatingcontinuously at 400C and

24、connected to the column such thatno temperature zones below the column temperature (coldspots) exist.7.3 InjectorThe preferred injector is a programmablepneumatically controlled split capillary injector capable ofoperating continuously at 350C and maintaining a split ratioof 100/1. Connection of the

25、 column to the injector shall be suchthat no temperature zones below the column temperature (coldspots) exist. It is recommended the injector contain an injectorliner packed with silanized glass wool or equivalent liner andthat the split vent flows through a trap packed with activatedcharcoal before

26、 releasing the carrier gas to the atmosphere. Theprogrammable injector is preferred for its rapid cooling duringinjector maintenance but an isothermal split injector can beused with slower cooling.7.4 Back-Flush DeviceSufficient injector carrier gaspressure/flow should be maintained until the marker

27、 peakelutes, marking the point of back-flush. Under the recom-mended conditions within this test method the dodecanemarker peak (for gasoline fuel dilution) should elute within 0.6and 0.9 min. The eicosane marker peak (for diesel fueldilution) should elute within 1.5 and 2.1 min. The heneicosanemark

28、er peak (for biodiesel fuel dilution) should elute within1.8 and 2.4 min. Once the marker peaks elute, reduce injectorcarrier gas pressure/flow and increase the back-flush carrier gaspressure/flow to allow back-flush of oil matrix off the column.Consult instrument vendor for specific hardware and op

29、era-tional conditions.7.5 Pneumatic ControllersThe gas chromatograph shallbe capable of maintaining carrier gas pressure constant to61 % for both the injector and the detector. Most modern gaschromatographs can control carrier gas in either pressurecontrol mode or flow control mode. The back-flush p

30、rocedurecan be accomplished with either differential pressure or differ-ential flow. The basic function is to inject with a high injectorcarrier and a low auxiliary carrier at the back-flush device sothat a forward flow of carrier is established for chromatogra-phy. At the desired time, decrease the

31、 injector carrier andincrease the auxiliary carrier to cause the back-flush. Thedifference in carrier between the injector and the back-flushdevice will determine the direction of carrier flow. The reverseflow shall be higher than the forward flow to cause theback-flush. Nominal dimensions of all tu

32、bing and restrictorswill affect pressures and flows as well as temperatures inmultiple heated zones such as injector, oven and detector. Thisanalysis utilizes an isothermal oven temperature thereforeconstant flow control will not improve chromatographicthroughput or efficiency.At isothermal oven tem

33、peratures, bothpressure and flow will remain constant.7.6 Column ConditionsThis test method utilizes a fusedsilica open tubular column with dimethyl polysiloxane crossbond phase internal coating operating isothermally at 225C.7.6.1 Open tubular column with a cross bond 100 % dim-ethyl polysiloxane p

Th

Reagents and Materials8.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in

38、all tests. 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 specifications are available.4Other grades may beused, provided it is pure enough to be used without lesseni

39、ngthe accuracy of the determination.8.1.1 Base Oil75 mm2/s (cSt) 40C mineral oil. Usedas a base oil to make the calibration standards and can be usedas the preferred solvent to rinse the syringe. Other base stocksmay be used, however alternate materials such as new ad-ditized engine oils may yield a

40、 bias in the results.8.1.2 Carbon Disulfide (CS2), 99+ % pure. (WarningExtremely flammable and toxic liquid.) One of the solventsthat can be used as a solvent to rinse the syringe.8.2 GasThe following compressed gases are utilized forthe operation of the gas chromatograph.8.2.1 Helium, 99.999 %. (Wa

It is notto contain more than 5 mL/m3of oxygen and the total amountof impurities are not to exceed 10 mL/m3. Precision in thismethod is based on helium as t

42、he carrier gas; however,nitrogen, hydrogen and argon have been successfully used asthe carrier gas.8.2.2 Nitrogen, 99.999 %. (WarningCompressed gas un-der high pressure.) If used as a carrier gas, it is not to containmore than 5 mL/m3of oxygen and the total amount ofimpurities is not to exceed 10 mL

43、/m3.8.2.3 Argon, 99.999 %. (WarningCompressed gas underhigh pressure.) If used as a carrier gas, it is not to contain morethan 5 mL/m3of oxygen and the total amount of impurities isnot to exceed 10 mL/m3.8.2.4 Hydrogen, 99.999 %. (WarningExtremely flam-mable compressed gas under high pressure.) The

44、total amountof impurities is not to exceed 10 mL/m3. This gas is used tosupply fuel to the flame ionization detector (FID).8.2.5 Air, (WarningCompressed gas under high pres-sure.) The total amount of impurities is not to exceed 10 mL/m3. This gas is used to supply oxidant to the flame ionizationdete

45、ctor (FID).8.3 Aged FuelAged diesel fuel is prepared by distillingthe fuel in accordance with Test Method D86 and stopping thedistillation process after 10 % of the fuel has been distilledover. The 90 % fuel remaining in the distillation flask is theaged diesel fuel.8.4 Quantification of unknown sam

46、ples may be affected bythe specific sources of fuel used in the calibration. In addition,fuel may age and degrade at different rates and by varyingmechanisms once present in the engines lubricant. Biodieselblends and many ultra-low sulfur diesel fuels contain varyingconcentrations of fatty acid meth

47、yl esters and the specificconcentration of biodiesel in any given vehicles fuel tank maynot be known with certainty. It is beyond the scope of this testmethod to require that calibration standards closely match thefuel found in the samples. The aging of the fuel standardsprovides an approximation of

48、 the actual fuel degradation inthe engine oil and it should be noted that this test method is forthe determination of fuel dilution and not for specific quanti-fication of fuel blends or types.8.5 Marker Peak Definitions:8.5.1 n-Dodecane 99 % minimum purity (n-C12) Used tosignify the end boiling ran

49、ge of gasoline.8.5.2 n-Eicosane 99 % minimum purity (n-C20). Used tosignify the end boiling range of diesel.8.5.3 n-Heneicosane 99 % minimum purity (n-C21). Used tosignify the end boiling range of biodiesel.9.
