Apparatus5.1 Funnel and Filter Support AssemblyUse an assemblydesigned to hold 47-mm diameter filters as was used in thedevelopment of this test method (see Fig. 1).55.1.1 Fi

32、lter FunnelUse a filter funnel with a 250 mLminimum capacity. The lower part of the funnel has a 40-mminside diameter and is designed to secure the 47-mm diameterfilter against the filter support. The funnel can be jacketed tofacilitate heating the solvent funnel and sample during filtering.NOTE 1Us

33、e of a glass funnel should minimize the effect of staticelectricity when filtering.5.1.2 Filter SupportUse a support base for the filter thathas a porous scintered glass center section about 40 to 43 mmin diameter. The support base is designed to fit securely againstthe funnel holding the filter in

34、place over the porous section.The filter supports stem should be long enough to extend downinto the filter flask such that the end is below the vacuumconnection.5.1.3 Clamp AssemblyUse a spring or screw type clampto secure the funnel to the filter support. The clamp should betight enough to prevent

35、the solvent from leaking through at thejunction between the glass and filter membrane. The exteriordimensions of the funnel and support are designed to facilitateclamping the two pieces together.5.1.4 Rubber StopperUse a single-hole, capable of hold-ing the lower stem of the filter support securely

36、onto thefiltering flask.5.1.5 Vacuum Filtering FlaskUse a 500 mL or largervacuum filtering flask.5.2 Membrane FilterUse a nylon membrane filter, 47 mmin diameter with 0.45-m pore size.65.3 OvenUse an oven capable of maintaining a tempera-ture of 105 6 2C (220 6 4F).5.4 Vacuum PumpUse a vacuum pump c

37、apable of reduc-ing and maintaining the pressure at 80 kPa (24 in. Hg)during the filtering.5.5 Analytical BalanceUse an analytical balance capableof measuring to the nearest 0.0001 g. Verify the balance, atleast annually, against weights traceable to a national metrol-ogy institute such as the Natio

38、nal Institute of Standards andTechnology (NIST).5.6 Heating Coil for Filter AssemblyUse copper tubing(3.175 mm or18-in. diameter) wound around the funnel on thefilter apparatus and connected to a circulating bath to maintainthe oil in the funnel at 90 6 2C (see Fig. 1). Alternativemethods of heating

39、 the funnel such as heating tape or glassthermal jacket could also be used.5.7 MixerUse a nonaerating, high-speed mixer meetingthe verification efficiency requirements specified in PracticeD 5854 (API MPMS Chapter 8.3). Either insertion mixers orcirculating mixers are acceptable provided they meet t

40、hecriteria in Practice D 5854 (API MPMS Chapter 8.3).5.8 Cooling VesselUse a desiccator or other type oftightly covered vessel for cooling the membrane filter beforeweighing. The use of a desiccant/drying agent is not recom-mended.5.9 Ground/Bond WireUse a 0.9122.59 mm (No. 10through No. 19) bare st

41、randed flexible, stainless steel or copperwire installed in the flask through the vacuum connection andconnected to ground.6. Reagents6.1 TolueneReagent grade chemicals shall be used in alltests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended that all reagentsshall conform to the specifications of the C

42、ommittee onAnalytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society, wheresuch specifications are available,7or to Grade 2 of ISO 5272.Other grades may be used, provided it is first ascertained thatthe reagents lot or batch is of sufficiently high purity to permitits use without lessening the accuracy o

43、f the determination.(WarningFlammable. Keep away from heat, sparks andopen flame. Vapor harmful. Toluene is toxic. Particular careshall be taken to avoid breathing the vapors and to protect theeyes. Keep the container closed. Use with adequate ventilation.Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with the

44、 skin.)7. Sampling, Test Specimens7.1 Sampling, shall include all the steps required to obtain arepresentative portion of the contents of any pipe, tank, or othersystem, and to transfer the sample into the laboratory testcontainer. The laboratory test container and sample volumeshall be of sufficien

45、t dimensions and volume to allow mixing asdescribed in 7.3.1. Mixing is required to properly dispersesediment as well as any water present in the sample.7.2 Laboratory SampleUse only representative samplesobtained as specified in Practice D 4057 (API MPMS Chapter8.1) or Practice D 4177 (API MPMS Cha

46、pter 8.2) for this testmethod. Analyze samples within two weeks after taking thesample. Retaining samples longer may affect the results.7.3 Sample PreparationThe following sample prepara-tion and handling procedure shall apply.7.3.1 Mix the test sample of crude oil at room temperaturein the original
