Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONInvert emulsion hydraulic fluids typically contain 6

3、0 % mineral oil and 40 % water (by volume).These fluids routinely are prepared using proprietary, oil-soluble, emulsifying agents, as well as otheremulsifiable constituents. They are recommended for use where conditions indicate a low-cost, fireretardant product, compatible with water-based metal wo

4、rking fluids.The high water content of these hydraulic fluids makes them susceptible to microbial attack.Uncontrolled microbial growth in these fluids can cause cartridge filter unit plugging, maladorousconditions, or general biodeterioration. Problem microorganisms associated with these fluids incl

5、udebacteria and fungi.The hydraulic system is essentially a closed one in which water of evaporation is added to maintaina fixed volume. The inclusion of an efficacious preservative in the water containing hydraulic fluidscan prevent microbial growth and the resulting problems that follow.1. Scope1.

Preparation of Microbiological Medium8.1 Microbiological media should be prepared in accor-dance with manufacturers instructions. Media to be aug-mented with antibiotics should be anne

Use 100 g Gentamicin Sulfate permL to suppress bacterial growth on fungal recovery media.9. Microbiological Methods9.1 Solubilize the invert emulsion aliquot (see 6.1) accord-ing to the procedu

41、re of McConville, et al., (2), (3) as follows:9.1.1 Disperse 1 mL of the invert emulsion in 1 mL ofArlacel 80 and bring the volume up to 10 mL with 10 % Tween60 solution.9.2 Enumerate the bacteria in the solubilized invert emul-sion samples (see Test Method D 4454) by a standard pourplate procedure

42、such as that described in Standard Methods forthe Analysis of Water and Wastewater (4) or a spread plateprocedure such as that described in the Manual of Methods forGeneral Bacteriology (5). Do not use these procedures inter-changably since a variation in results may occur. If a pour plateprocedure

43、is used, plate solubilized fluid as well as 1 mL of101to 106dilutions prepared in phosphate buffer. If thespread plate procedure is used, plate 0.1 mL of the solubilizedfluid as well as 0.1 mL of 101to 105dilutions prepared inphosphate buffer. Do not use these plating procedures inter-changeably sin

44、ce a variation in results may occur. Incubate allplates for three days at 35C.9.3 Enumerate the mold and yeast populations in the solu-bilized invert emulsion samples by using the same proceduresas in 9.2, but use sabouraud dextrose agar containing 100 g ofgentamicin sulfate per mL as the plating me

45、dium. Incubate allplates for five days at 35C.9.4 Enumerate sulfate reducing bacteria populations in thesolubilized invert emulsion samples by serially diluting 1.0 mLaliquots in 9.0 mL molten, API agar in 15 mm by 150 mmscrewcap culture tubes. Prepare a series of 101and 104dilutions. Gently tip tub

46、e back and forth several times to mixinoculum with API agar while minimizing aeration. Warmpipet gently over bunsen burner flame before transferring asample from one dilution tube to the next in a series. Onceinoculated and the API agar has gelled, fill each culture tubewith sterile mineral oil. Inc

47、ubate at 35 6 1C. Observe for theformation of black colonies weekly for four weeks. Recordfinal titer.10. Procedure10.1 Add 67.5 mL of emulsifier (see 6.1) to 832.5 mL ofparaffinic mineral oil (see 6.2).10.2 Transfer mixture intoa2Lblender cup and add 450mL of deionized water and 150 mL of a broth i

This emulsion will serve as the untreated contr

When preparing the treated emulsions,make sure to add the inoculum to the blender after all of thedeionized water containing the antimicrobial has been incor-porated.10.5 Add each test emulsion sample to a separate 2 L bea
