Significance and Use5.1 The purpose of this test method is to define a procedurefor evaluating the capability of cleaning agents to cleanmetallic coupons. Based on the ou

17、tcome of the testing, suitablecleaning agents may be selected for cleaning in general and foroxygen service in particular.5.2 The cleaning parameters can be changed and the testmethod can be repeated. The usual cleaning parameters includecleaning agent concentration, temperature, and time; type ands

18、trength of ultrasonic energy or agitation, if used, and others.NOTE 1Usual cleaning parameters are based on the manufacturersrecommendations.6. Apparatus6.1 Materials:6.1.1 Test Coupon, prepared in accordance with PracticeG 121. The mass of the coupon is approximately 30 to 45 g butwill vary signifi

19、cantly for each selected material. Typicalmaterials used in oxygen systems are described in Guide G94.6.1.2 Control CouponThis is uncontaminated and is sub-jected to the identical cleaning procedure as the contaminatedcoupons and serves to evaluate corrosion, erosion of the testcoupons.6.1.3 Cleanin

20、g Agent, prepared according to the manufac-turers instructions. Specification D 1193 Type II water shall beused for preparing aqueous solutions.6.2 Equipment:6.2.1 Cleaning Tank, A vessel of sufficient size to conduct anumber of evaluations simultaneously. Testing is enhanced byhaving automatic temp

21、erature and time controls. A cleaningtank with ultrasonics may be used.6.2.2 Balance, accuracy to 0.1 mg. However, 0.01 mgaccuracy is desirable to detect contamination levels of 10mg/m2(1 mg/ft2) or less.6.2.3 Beaker HolderA device to support beakers in theultrasonic cleaner tank such that the beake

22、rs do not contact thebottom and sides of the tank.7. Test Procedure7.1 Prepare a minimum of six test coupons by PracticeG 121.7.2 Indicate the masses of coupons in grams as MXy whereX is the coupon designation (number, letter, or name) and y =1indicates a clean coupon, y = 2 indicates a contaminated

23、coupon and y = 3 indicates a coupon after cleaning.7.3 Designate one coupon as the control coupon to undergocleaning without contamination.7.4 Measure the mass of the control and test coupons(recording them as MX1 as previously defined).7.5 Contaminate five test coupons in accordance with Prac-tice

24、G 121.7.6 Measure the mass of all contaminated test coupons(recording them as MX2 as previously defined).7.7 Process the control coupon in the test cleaning solutionseparately from the contaminated test coupons.7.8 The contaminated test coupons can be processed inindependent beakers held in the clea

25、ning tank or as a batch ina single beaker.7.9 Clean the test and control coupons in the candidatecleaning agent by the manufacturers procedure or selectedprocedure.7.9.1 Prepare the cleaning agent in accordance with themanufacturers recommendations.7.9.2 Select beakers of suitable size to accommodat

26、e the testcoupons and fit the beaker holder.7.9.3 Wash the beakers thoroughly with a solution of liquid,surface-active cleaning agent in hot water and rinse with typeII water.7.9.4 Fill the beakers with the cleaning agent solution to alevel that will ensure the test coupons are submerged.7.9.5 Fill

27、the cleaning tank to its operating level with thetransfer fluid and preheat to desired test temperature.7.9.6 Place the beakers in the beaker holder in the tank sothat the liquid levels in the tank and beakers are approximatelyequal.7.9.7 Allow the temperatures of the tank fluid and cleaningagent in

28、 the beakers to equilibrate at the desired temperature.7.9.8 Suspend the test coupons and control coupon in thecleaning agent, using a wire hook of the same material as thecoupon or a compatible material. Position the coupons suchthat they do not touch the beaker or one another.7.9.9 Begin agitation

29、 or sonication in the cleaning processand start the timer.7.9.10 Upon completing the required cleaning time, discon-tinue the agitation or sonication, and remove the coupons fromthe cleaning agent.7.9.11 Rinse the test coupon in accordance with the manu-facturers recommendations.7.9.12 Allow the sus

30、pended coupons to dry overnight or ina forced convection oven for one hour.NOTE 2Warning: Do not place test coupons directly in the oven afterapplication of the solution containing the contaminant.Afire may result ifthe solvent is flammable or rapid evaporation of the solvent may causespattering of

31、the contaminant thereby reducing the amount of contaminanton the test coupon. It is recommended that the test coupons be air drieduntil no traces of a liquid phase are visible.7.9.13 Determine the final mass of each test coupon (record-ing them as MX3 as previously defined), including the controlcou

32、pon.8. Calculation8.1 Validation of ProcedureExamine the control couponsto determine whether they lost mass (such as might occur ifthere was corrosion occurring, if the coupons were dissolving,or if the standard cleaning procedure used prior to contamina-tion had left residue on the coupons); gained

33、 mass (such asmight occur if the solution was plating a material on theirsurfaces, or was depositing contaminant rather than removingit) or exhibited the same mass. The simplest valid testprocedure is one in which there is no change in the control-coupons mass to within the measurement error of the

34、balance.G 122 96 (2008)28.1.1 If the control coupon is designated MC, and, if |MC3MC1 | balance error, then the experiment is valid.Proceed to calculate a cleaning effectiveness factor.8.1.2 If | MC3MC1 | is greater than the balance error, thetest may be considered to be suspect and the reason for t

35、hemass change should be investigated.8.2 Cleaning Effectiveness Factor (CEF):8.2.1 The cleaning effectiveness factor indicates the frac-tional contaminant that was removed during cleaning (forexample, CEF = 0.9 indicates that 90 % of the contaminantwas removed). CEF 5MX2 2 MX3MX2 2 MX1(1)where:MX2 M

36、X3 = the mass of contaminant removed, andMX2 MX1 = the mass of contaminant applied.8.2.2 Calculate the CEF for each test coupon.8.2.3 Calculate the average CEF by arithmetic mean.8.3 Residual Contamination (RC):8.3.1 A cleaning agent does not necessarily remove a fixedfraction of the contamination o

37、n a given surface. In some cases,it cleans a surface to a constant residual cleanliness level. Forexample, sometimes the cleaned surface will exhibit a layer oforganic material that has remained after a fluid vehicle hasdried, and a constant RC for varying initial contaminationlevels suggests this m
