The principle of operation is the illuminationand digital capture of actual particle images which are then analyzed for size and shape by the system software. The visualcapability of the instr

19、ument allows for the differentiation between solid, water, and air particles and thus the detection of water andelimination of air bubbles from the analysis.4.2 The test specimen, approximately 4 L, is agitated in its container. The container is then fitted with a spigot to allow deliveryto the dire

20、ct imaging particle analyzer (DIPA). Fluid flows through the DIPA and is analyzed for solids and water content. Largeror smaller volume test specimen may be used as appropriate for the instrument.4.3 The method requires reporting of particle and droplet counts in the 4 m , 6 m, 4 m, 6 m, and 14 m ca

21、tegories,however particle counts in the 0.7 m to 4 m size range may also be reported as well as additional ranges the user deemsimportant. Particle size for this test method shall be determined using the definition per 3.2.6.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is intended for use in the labo

22、ratory or in the field for evaluating the cleanliness of fuels identified in thescope.5.2 Detection of particles and water can indicate degradation of the fuel condition. Particles, whether inorganic or organic, cancause fouling of fuel filters and damage pumps, injectors, and pistons. Knowledge of

23、particle size in relation to metallurgy canprovide vital information, especially if the hardness of the solid particles are known from other sources.NOTE 3The method includes the detection of water, solids, and air bubbles. The air bubbles are screened out of the data prior to analysis of results,ba

24、sed on shape and transparency, and are not reported in the results.6.

Sampling8.1 Sample into the test specimen container. Ensure it is new and unused, or in clean, new condition (see Practi

32、ce D4306). Takeprecautions not to introduce contamination during the sampling process.8.2 Take a representative sample. Refer to Practice D4057, Practice D4177, or other similar sampling practices.8.3 Confirm that the container is approximately 80 % filled (4 L).9. Preparation of Apparatus9.1 Ensure

33、 the DIPA is set up according to manufacturers instructions.9.2 Ensure instrument is clean and ready for use by flushing with a filtered, fast drying fast-drying solvent such as heptane.Clean sampling valve and tubing in the same manner. System cleanliness may be checked by running a sample of filte

34、red heptanethrough it. If the test specimen has a 4 m count in excess of 200 mmLmL, the system requires cleaning by continued flushingwith filtered heptane until the count falls below 200.10. Test Specimen Preparation10.1 Gently shake the test specimen in its container for at least 1 min to ensure t

35、hat it is well mixed.10.1.1 To achieve a consistent agitation it is recommended to either: (a) tumble the test specimen container by hand orappropriate mechanical shaking device, (b) invert the container back and forth for a minimum of 60 times at approximately 1 Hz(cycle/second), or (c) use a rolle

36、r device and roll for a minimum of 60 rotations. Other ways of gently shaking the container maybe used provided a well mixed well-mixed test specimen is achieved.NOTE 4Over-shaken or mechanically stirred samples can result in finely dispersed micro bubbles that may be counted as solid particles.Addi

37、tionally,test specimens given ultrasonic treatment can result in the break up break-up of agglomerated particles into smaller ones that can affect the count.11. Apparatus Verification and Calibration11.1 Illumination level should be checked daily prior to use per manufacturers operating manual.11.2

38、Calibration:11.2.1 The DIPAshall be calibrated per the manufacturers operating manual. Calibration shall be done by referencing a reticle(see 7.2). Once calibrated, a direct imaging type imaging-type instrument remains in calibration as long as the camera and lenscomponents remain unchanged and unmo

39、ved.11.2.2 The test specimen flow rate should be similar for calibration, verification, and operation. An orifice is provided on theoutflow of the DIPA to ensure this.11.3 VerificationIt is recommended that verification Verification shall be performed at six month intervals.least every sixmonths.11.

40、3.1 Particle CountUse the verification fluid referenced in 7.5 to verify particle count. Test in accordance with Section 12.The per millilitre result obtained shall be equal to or less than r/1.414 of the measurement plus the uncertainty of the verificationfluid from the certified 4 m(c) value of th

41、e standard where r is the repeatability of the test (see Section 14 and Appendix X1).If the result obtained is not within this figure, ensure the sample preparation is in accordance with the manufacturers instructions,check the verification fluids validity date, and run a further test using the filt

42、ered heptane to confirm the inlet tube and cell assemblyare free from contaminants. Repeat the verification. If the result is still not within the allowed tolerance, consult the operatingmanual or contact the manufacturer.NOTE 5Failure to correctly precondition the verification fluid can result in p

43、article counts not meeting the verification criteria specified by the fluidmanufacturer.11.3.2 Particle SizeMono-disperse beads per 7.3, or similar, shall be used to verify the operation of the DIPA. Dilute thebeads, if required, to an appropriate volume using the super clean fluid. The result of th

44、e analysis shall be within 3 % of the averagemanufacturer certified particle size plus the specified standard deviation for the beads.12. Procedure12.1 Ensure the instrument is set up as indicated in the manufacturers instructions.12.2 Prepare the sample in the test specimen container per Section 10

45、, except when preparing the verification fluid for 11.3.1,follow the preparation instruction of the verification fluid manufacturer.12.3 Insert the stopper into the opening of the sample container and attach tubing.12.4 Ensure vent tube is within approximately 25 mm of the container bottom and tubin

46、g for inflow is approximately 25 mminside the container.D8049 17312.5 Invert the container and position approximately 150 mm above the instrument, ensuring tubing is straight and not strained.12.6 The DIPA will fill and flow will start. Allow the first 500 mL to flow through to clean the DIPA. Start

47、 software analysisat this point.12.7 The test specimen is run from the container through the DIPA and the resultant solid particle counts for the first 1000frames is compared to the results for a second 1000 frames in the 1 m category. If the count values recorded in the 1 mcategory are within eithe

48、r 10 % or 200 particles, then an average of the complete results of the first 1000 frames and the second1000 frames is calculated and reported as the result. The solid particle count and water droplet count results will be calculatedbased on the projected equivalent particle diameter.12.8 If solid p

49、article count values recorded at 1 m are not within the specified error margin of 12.7, repeat the test.NOTE 6Volumes used in Section 12 may change according to the required total volume the particular instrument requires for the analysis.13.
