5、Test Method for the Determination of Water Concentration in Polyol Ester and Diester Aerospace Lubricants by Coulometric Karl Fischer Titration RATIONALE ARP5991 has been reaffirmed to comply with the SAE five-year review policy. 1. SCOPE:The test method describes the procedure for the direct determ
6、ination of water concentration in polyol ester and diester based aerospace lubricants by the commercially available automated coulometric Karl Fischer titration instrument. The method was validated to cover the water concentration range of 150 to 3500 g/g. The method may also be suitable for the det
7、ermination of water concentrations outside this range and for other classes of fluids, however, the precision statement shall not be applicable for such uses.1.1 Purpose:Knowledge of the water concentration in polyol and diester aerospace lubricants is required since the presence of excess amounts o
8、f water can lead to hydrolysis of the lubricant, resulting in corrosion and wear of the lubricated components and degradation of the lubricant. Significant variability observed in inter-laboratory Karl Fischer test results for these lubricants highlighted the need for a standardized Karl Fischer tes
9、t procedure, specifically suited for these lubricants. 2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS:The following publications form a part of this document to the extent specified herein. The latest issue of SAE publications shall apply. The applicable issue of other publications shall be the issue in effect on the date

12、 Practice for Determination of Precision and Bias Data for Use in Test Methods for Petroleum Products and Lubricants3. TEST REQUIREMENTS:3.1 Outline of Method:An accurately weighed aliquot of the fluid sample is injected into the titration vessel of a coulometric Karl Fischer apparatus in which iodi
13、ne for the Karl Fischer reaction is generated coulometrically at the anode. Upon the completion of the titration of the water in the sample, the electrometric end point sensor detects excess iodine and the titration is terminated. The quantity of water is determined by the integration of the total a
14、mount of current consumed by the reaction, which, based on the stoichiometry of the reaction, is proportional to the molar concentration of water in the sample.4. APPARATUS:4.1 Coulometric Karl Fischer Apparatus (using electrometric end point):A number of automated coulometric Karl Fischer apparatus
15、 consisting of a titration cell, platinum electrodes, magnetic stirrer and a control unit are commercially available. The instructions for the operation of these devices are provided by the respective manufacturers and are not discussed in this document.4.2 Syringes:Fine glass syringes with luer fit
16、tings and hypodermic needles are recommended. Disposable plastic precision syringes can be used for routine sample analysis but not for the validation. The bores of the needles shall be kept as small as possible, but large enough to avoid problems arising from excessive back pressure or blocking whi
17、le obtaining a sample. Suggested syringe sizes are as follows:4.2.1 Ten microliters fine glass syringe graduated for readings to the nearest 0.01 l or better. This syringe is used in the standardization step.SAE INTERNATIONAL ARP5991 Page 3 of 11 4.2.2 One and five ml capacities, accurate to the nea
18、rest 0.01 ml. A quality gas-tight glass syringe with a TFE fluorocarbon plunger and luer fitting is recommended. Disposable plastic precision syringes can be used.NOTE: Rinse all glass syringes and needles with anhydrous acetone (or equivalent) after cleaning. Then dry in an oven at 100 C and store
19、immediately in desiccators.4.3 Balance:An analytical balance with a resolution of 0.0001g.5. REAGENTS/MATERIALS:Reagent grade chemicals, conforming to the specifications of the Committee on Analytical Reagents of The American Chemical Society shall be utilized in all tests, unless indicated otherwis

Calculate the water concentration in g/g of the sample as follows: (Eq. 1)where:W1= mass of water titrated, gW2= mass of sample
26、used, g10. REPORT:Report the water concentration to the nearest whole g/g based on the average of the two trials for a fluid sample.

31、ROPULSION LUBRICANTSSAE INTERNATIONAL ARP5991 Page 8 of 11 APPENDIX AHELPFUL HINTS FOR COULOMETRIC KARL FISCHER WATER ANALYSISFollowing are some suggestions to obtain accurate and precise results by this test method. Some of these suggestions are also described in the test method, but are reiterated
32、 here for easy reference.A.1 All equipment should be thoroughly cleaned of moisture. Rinse all glass syringes and needles with anhydrous acetone (or equivalent) after cleaning. Then dry in an oven at 100 C and store immediately in a desiccator until needed for use.A.2 Keep the sample bottles tightly
33、 sealed before and after withdrawing a sample aliquot with a dry hypodermic needle.A.3 Although standardization is not necessary in coulometric titrations, reagent performance can deteriorate with use, hence it should be monitored by accurately injecting 1000 g of pure water or 10 l water saturated
34、1-octanol after the starting up of the equipment and after each reagent change. If the fluid is suspected of interfering with the titration, utilize procedure in A.9 for the validation of the apparatus with the fluid.A.4 Rinse the internals of the clean and dry syringe at least once with the sample
35、and discard the aliquot before taking an aliquot for injecting in the titration vessel.A.5 High background current for a prolonged period may be due to moisture on the inside wall of the titration vessel. Gentle swirling of the vessel will wash the inside with electrolyte. Keep the titrator on to al
36、low stabilization to a low background current.A.6 The frit separating the vessel compartments may get clogged with sample residue. Disassemble the apparatus and acid clean the frit per the manufacturers recommendations.A.7 Replace the anode and cathode reagents when one of the following occurs and t
