When this device is excitedby external RF (radio frequency) voltage, a synchronousRayleigh wave is generated on the surface of the device. Whenfuel contamination comes in contact with the SAW sensorsurface, it will absorb into the

18、polymer coating. This absorptioninto the polymer causes a mass change, which produces acorresponding change in the amplitude and velocity of thesurface wave.

Summary of Test Method4.1 A liquid sample is placed into the fuel dilution sampleholder (see Figs. 1 and 2) of the SAW fuel dilution apparatusand fuel dilution (percent by mass) is determined.4.2 The vap

21、or headspace of the sample, equilibrated at roomtemperature, is drawn into the SAW sensor by means of adiaphragm pump, which draws the vapor into the chamber ofthe SAW sensor.4.3 The SAW sensor registers the buildup of mass on itspolymer absorbent coating over a period of approximately oneminute.4.4

22、 Based on this mass buildup and a calibration, fueldilution (percent by mass) for the sample is determined.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a means for a reliable fielddetermination of fuel dilution that is quick and preparation-free. Results are obtained in approximately 1 min.

23、Such aFIG. 1 Example SAW Fuel Dilution ApparatusConfiguration AD8004 152method is used, for example, at remote railroad depots whereit is impractical to carry out a standard laboratory method fordetermination of fuel dilution, such as described in TestMethod D7593, but it is a critical need to deter

24、mine if fuel hascontaminated the lubricant. If fuel has contaminated thelubricant, this is significantly detrimental to the machinery andit is typically serviced immediately. Further, the fuel can igniteat the high temperatures encountered in machinery lubricantpaths.6. Interferences6.1 Departures i

25、n temperature between the sample undertest and the sample which was used in the calibration by morethan 2 C will affect the precision of the results. This is due tothe fact that the fuel vapor pressure is temperature dependent.For example, if calibration was performed with the fuelstandard at 20 C a

26、nd the measured samples that are at 30 C,the fuel dilution determination would be approximately 50 %high.6.2 Creating a standard using fresh, rather than aged, fuelwill cause the method to underreport actual measured values.6.3 Possible interferences include the introduction of bio-diesel variations

27、 or other additives in the fuel after it has beencalibrated on the SAW fuel dilution meter. If the sample iscalibrated with fuel containing the expected amount of bio-diesel or additive, no error in the measurement should occur. Ifmeasured with an unexpected amount of biodiesel higher thanthat calib

28、rated with, the apparent reading will be lower. This isbecause the biodiesel is typically less volatile than the fuelbeing measured. For example, if a calibration was performedon a 5.0 % fuel sample with no biodiesel, then a sample of thatsame fuel containing 10 % biodiesel (B10) is diluted into the

29、lubricant at a 5.0 % level, the reading will be approximately4.5 %. Thus, unexpected additional amounts of biodiesel canlead to false negative indications of fuel contamination if theapparatus is not calibrated with that same fuel. Similarly,unexpected lesser amounts of biodiesel can lead to falsepo

30、sitive indications of fuel content when the apparatus is notcalibrated with that fuel.6.4 Other interferences include the possibility of the cali-bration not being performed with the source fuel and lubricantmaterial under test. This can significantly reduce the precisionof the method.6.5 Other inte

31、rferences can arise from fuel dilution sampleholders that are not completely dry or with a cleaning com-pound residue.6.6 Samples that have very high water content (1.0 % bymass) may also degrade the precision of the measurement.7.

Reagents and Materials8.1 As-prepared Fuel Dilution Calibration Standards.These are prepared from samples of the fuel an

35、d lubricantunder use.8.2 Fuel Dilution Sample Holder, such as a plastic bottle orlaboratory vial.8.2.1 If glassware is to be used as the fuel dilution sampleholder, ensure that it is carefully cleaned and dried to avoidinterferences.9. Hazards9.1 Since pure fuel is mixed with lubricant duringcalibra

36、tion, care should be taken to avoid any contact withelectronic equipment or spark sources to avoid fuel ignition.9.2 Hazardous materials precautions, as appropriate, shouldbe followed when handling both the fuel and lubricant undertest.9.3 Typical hazards considerations for electronic equipmentshoul

37、d be followed in accordance with manufacturers instruc-tions.10. Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units10.1 A sample of the liquid should be obtained. The amountof liquid depends on manufacturers instructions. If obtaineddirectly from the equipment, it should be allowed to reachroom temperature be

38、fore further action. If such equipment isavailable, the sample may be obtained as described in PracticeD4057.11. Preparation of Apparatus11.1 Place an appropriate amount of sample into the fueldilution sample holder in accordance with manufacturersinstructions.11.2 If the fuel dilution sample holder

39、 has a fuel dilutionseal placed on by the operator, place the seal onto the holderand wait 1 min before proceeding to the next step.11.3 Ensure that the SAW fuel dilution apparatus is free ofresidual vapor by inspecting the current displayed fuel contentto see that it reads 0.0 % to 0.1 % by mass. I

40、f not, theperformance of the method will be altered and biases can beexpected.11.4 Ensure that the temperature of the sample is within2 C of that of the calibration sample. If not, either wait for thesample to reach this temperature range or recalibrate.11.5 Follow the manufacturers instructions for

41、 the opera-tion of the instrument.12. Calibration and Standardization12.1 The SAW fuel dilution apparatus should be calibratedwith the operators expected oil and fuel at the mid-range(5.0 % by mass) of dilution prior to operation of the apparatuson a given day or before a set of measurements is run.

42、 Such asample may be prepared using a standard scale. An emptybottle is placed on the scale, zeroed, and the needed amount(for example, 50 g) of lubricant is added to the bottle. Thecorresponding amount (2.65 g) of the fuel that is being testedfor is added to the bottle.12.2 It is critical that a ca

43、libration standard include arepresentative sample of the fuel to be detected, in addition torepresentative lubricant itself. To ensure a representative cali-bration sample, the standard should be mixed and allowed toequilibrate for at least 1 h for diesel fuel and at least 4 h formore volatile gasol

44、ine fuel or jet fuel. Alternatively, a freshopen bottle of pure fuel may be allowed to age and then bemixed for immediate use. In this case, the sample should beallowed to outgas for a period of time until a volume decreaseof 15 % is noted, at which point the sample is considered aged.The bottle sho

45、uld remain uncapped during the equilibrationperiod to ensure a representative calibration sample. This isdone to offgas the light end hydrocarbons that are present infresh fuel samples. This is consistent with an actual engine oilsample, since it would have been exposed to heat duringoperation that

46、drives off the light end gases.12.3 The apparatus should be turned on and running for atleast 15 min before the calibration sample is run.12.4 Calibration measurements are performed in accordancewith normal device operating instructions as outlined inSection 14.12.4.1 OptionalRecord the temperature

47、of the samplebefore calibrating.12.5 OptionalValidate the calibration by rerunning the5.0 % calibration sample and another known sample in therange of 0.1 % to 10.0 % by mass. The values should agree towithin 60.5 %. If the values do not agree to within this limit,recalibrate.12.6 Note that no equiv

48、alence (in accordance with, forexample, Guide D7235 or Practice D6708) to standard labora-tory test methods such as Test Method D7593 is required, sincethe apparatus is calibrated with the same sample lubricant andsame fuel that is to be tested, in predetermined amounts.13. Conditioning13.1 As long

49、as the meter reads 0.0 % to 0.1 % by mass fuelbefore measurement, no conditioning of the apparatus isrequired. If non-zero readings persist, continue to pump airthrough the apparatus to remove residual vapor.14. Procedure14.1 Place the sample, after it reaches room temperature, inthe fuel dilution sample bottle.14.2 Put the fuel dilution sample bottle onto the fuel dilutionstand, and use the lever to engage the fuel dilution seal.14.2.1 Initiate the measurement, which will begin to drawvapor into the SAW sensor through the fuel dilution sampleinlet.14.3 Once
