18、 a bias androunding the results of this test method to the next lower integer (see 12.2).3.2.1.1 DiscussionThis test method produces results with 0.1C0.1 C resolution. Should the user wish to provide results with a similar format to TestMethod D2500, then this calculation can be performed. Some appa

20、scribed in 4.1, the specimen receptacle is described in 7.1, and the optical system for detectionof crystal formation is described in 4.1.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 After inserting the test specimen into the automatic apparatus, and initiation of the program, the test specimen is heated, ifnecessa

21、ry, to a starting temperature and then cooled by prescribed rates (11.5 and 11.6). The test specimen is continuouslymonitored for appearance of hydrocarbon crystals with opposing light emitter and optical receiver (Annex A1). When thecrystallization in the specimen is detected by the optical system,

22、 the temperature is recorded to within 0.1C0.1 C resolution. Thespecimen is then heated to facilitate the start of the next test.5. Significance and Use5.1 The cloud point of petroleum products and biodiesel fuels is an index of the lowest temperature of their utility for certainapplications. Wax cr

Sampling8.1 Obtain a sample in accordance with Practice D4057 or by Test Method D4177.8.2 At least 1 mL of sample is required for each test.8.3 Samples of very viscous materials may be warmed until they are reasonably fluid before they are tested. However, no sampleshould be heated

32、more than is absolutely necessary.8.4 The sample shall not be heated above 60C.60 C. When the sample is heated above 60C60 C, allow the sample to coolbelow 60C60 C before filtering or inserting into the apparatus.8.5 When moisture is present, remove the moisture by a method,method such as filtration

33、 through dry, lint-free filter paper,paperuntil the oil is perfectly clear, but make such filtration at a temperature at least 14C14 C above the expected cloud point.NOTE 2Moisture will be noticed in the sample as a separate phase or as a haze throughout the entire sample. Generally, a slight haze w

Calibration and Standardization10.1 Ensure that all of the manufacturers instructions for calibrating, checking, and operatin

35、g the apparatus are followed.10.2 A sample with a well documented well-documented cloud point can be used to verify the performance of the automaticapparatus. Alternatively, a sample that has been extensively tested in a cloud point cross-check program can be used. Suchverification materials can als

When necessary, heat the sample in a water bath or oven until it is just sufficiently fluid to transfer. Sam

Start theoperation of th

From this point up to and including the termination of the test, recording and reporting of the resul

By default, the preselected startingtemperature is 25C.25 C. Alternatively, the operator can preprogram a defined starting temperature between 2525 C and60

40、C,60 C, if desired. When the expected cloud point is known and programmed in the apparatus, the starting temperature shallbe at least 10C10 C warmer than the expected cloud point. In the event that the preselected starting temperature is programmedlower than 10C10 C above the programmed expected clo
