16、1 The ETBE shall be visually free of undissolved water,sediment, and suspended matter. It shall be clear and bright atthe ambient temperature or 21 C, whichever is lower.5.2 The specification defines only a basic purity for thisproduct. The product shall be free of any adulterant orcontaminant that

17、could render the material unacceptable for theintended application.6. Sampling, Containers, and Sample Handling6.1 The user is strongly advised to review all intended testmethods prior to sampling in order to understand the impor-tance and effects of sampling technique, proper containers, andspecial

18、 handling required for each test method.6.2 Correct sampling procedures are critical to obtain asample representative of the lot intended to be tested. Use ofappropriate procedures in Practice D4057 or Practice E300 formanual method sampling and in Practice D4177 for automaticmethod sampling as appl

19、icable.6.3 The correct sample volume and appropriate containerselection are important decisions that can impact test results.Refer to Practice D5854 for procedures on container selectionand sample mixing and handling. Where practical, ETBEshould be sampled in glass containers. If samples must becoll

20、ected in metal containers, do not use soldered metalcontainers. This is because the soldering flux in the containersand the lead in the solder can contaminate the samples. Plasticcontainers should be avoided.6.4 Sample SizeAminimum of about 2 Lis recommended.7. Test Methods7.1 The scopes of some of

The performance requirements of this specifica-tion were established to help ensure that the addition (inappropriate amounts) of ETBE as described in this specifica-tion would not be detrimental to the properties of the fuelblend.X1.2 Ethyl Ter

29、tiary Butyl Ether PurityX1.2.1 The ETBE minimum purity level limits the quanti-ties of contaminants. Laboratory analyses and engine testsperformed with distinct neat ETBE products, revealed thathigher purities (higher ETBE content) yielded correspondinghigher knock performance characteristics, and s

30、ome organiccompounds other than ETBE can adversely affect other prop-erties of finished fuel blends.X1.3 Ethanol ContentX1.3.1 Ethanol is one of the reactants in the production ofETBE and is a potential contaminant. Ethanol contributes tovapor pressure increase, reduced knock performance, adverseimp

As a potential contaminant, methanol contributesto vapor pressure increase and could cause corrosion ofmetallic fuel system components, and/or degradation of elas-tomeric components.X1.5 Tertiar

38、 as 2,3 dimethyl-pentaneor 2,4 dimethyl-pentane, or possibly oxygenates but as thename suggests, they are unrecognized in the gas chromato-graphic analyses.X1.11 Water ContentX1.11.1 Blends of ETBE and hydrocarbon gasoline have alimited solvency for water. This solvency varies with thechemical compo

Excess water (which may be soluble in the ETBE) maynot be soluble in the gasoline-ETBE blend resulting in a hazyfuel, and may compromise the fuel system icing preventionfeatures.X1.12 Copper Strip CorrosionX1.12.1 Fuels must pass the copper strip cor

This limit is included to ensure that the ETBE does notcontribute to copper corrosion.X1.13 AppearanceX1.13.1 ETBE, as covered by this specification, is a rela-tively pure material. Suspended materials, sediments, o

41、r con-taminants in the ETBE which cause a cloudy or coloredappearance may adversely affect the performance of thefinished fuel blend in aviation spark-ignition engines. Also acloudy or colored appearance may indicate excessive water orcontamination by materials not measured by this specification.X1.
