1、Standard Method of Test for Saybolt Viscosity AASHTO Designation: T 72-10 (2015) American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials 444 North Capitol Street N.W., Suite 249 Washington, D.C. 20001 TS-2a T 72-1 AASHTO Standard Method of Test for Saybolt Viscosity AASHTO Designation: T

2、72-10 (2015) 1. SCOPE 1.1. This test method covers the empirical procedures for determining the Saybolt Universal or Saybolt Furol viscosities of petroleum products at specified temperatures between 21 and 99C (70 and 210F). A special procedure for waxy products is indicated. Note 1T 201 and ASTM D4

3、45 are preferred for the determination of kinematic viscosity. These methods require smaller samples and less time, and provide greater accuracy. Kinematic viscosities may be converted to Saybolt viscosities by use of the tables in ASTM D2161. It is recommended that viscosity indexes be calculated f

4、rom kinematic rather than Saybolt viscosities. 1.2. The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only. 1.3. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the respon

5、sibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 2. REFERENCED DOCUMENTS 2.1.

See ASTM D117 for applicability to mineral oils used as electrical insulating oils. 5.3. The Saybolt Furol viscosity is approximately one tenth of the Saybolt Universal viscosity and is

13、 recommended for characterization of petroleum products such as fuel oils and other residual materials having Saybolt Universal viscosities greater than 1000 s. 5.4. Determination of the Saybolt Furol viscosity of asphalt materials at higher temperatures is covered by ASTM E102/E102M. 6. APPARATUS 6

26、s with efflux times greater than 1000 s are not conveniently tested with this orifice. 8.2. Use a Furol orifice or tip for residual materials with efflux times greater than 25 s to give the desired accuracy (see also Section 5.3). 8.3. Clean the viscometer thoroughly with an appropriate solvent of l

Note 2The plunger commonly supplied with the viscometer should never be used for cleaning as this might damage the overflow rim and walls of the viscometer. 10 1 (0.4 0.04) ID at G

Calibrate the Saybolt Universal viscometer at intervals of not more than 3 years by measuring the efflux time at 37.8C (10

36、0F) of an appropriate viscosity oil standard, following the procedure given in Section 10. See Annex A2 for viscosity oil standards available. 9.2. The efflux time of the viscosity oil standard shall equal the certified Saybolt viscosity value. If the efflux time differs from the certified value by

37、more than 0.2 percent, calculate a correction factor, F, for the viscometer as follows: F = V/t (1) where: 2015 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved. Duplication is a violation of applicable law.TS-2a T 72-8 AASHTO V = certified Saybolt viscos

38、ity of the standard; and t = measured efflux time at 37.8C (100F), s. Note 3If the calibration is based on a viscosity oil standard having an efflux time between 200 and 600 s, the correction factor applies to all viscosity levels at all temperatures. 9.3. Calibrate the Saybolt Furol viscometer at 5

39、0C (122F) as discussed in Section 9.1, using a viscosity oil standard having a minimum efflux time of 90 s. 9.4. Viscometers or orifices requiring corrections greater than 1.0 percent shall not be used in referee testing. 10. PROCEDURE 10.1. Establish and control the bath temperature at the selected

40、 test temperature. 10.1.1. Standard test temperatures for measuring Saybolt Universal viscosities are 21.1, 37.8, 54.4, and 98.9C (70, 100, 130, and 210F). 10.1.2. Standard test temperatures for measuring Saybolt Furol viscosities are 25.0, 37.8, 50.0, and 98.9C (77, 100, 122, and 210F). 10.1.3. Oth

41、er standard test temperatures in use include 60.0 and 82.2C (140 and 180F). 10.2. Insert a cork stopper into the air chamber at the bottom of the viscometer; a small chain or cord may be attached to the cork to facilitate rapid removal. The cork shall fit tightly enough to prevent the escape of air,

42、 as evidenced by the absence of oil on the cork when it is withdrawn as described in Section 10.9. 10.3. If the selected test temperature is above room temperature, the test may be expedited by preheating the sample in its original container to not more than 1.7C (3.0F) above the test temperature. 1

43、0.4. Stir the sample well; then strain it through a wire cloth of appropriate mesh directly into the viscometer until the level is above the overflow rim. The wire cloth shall be 0.150-mm (No. 100) mesh except as noted in T 59. 10.5. For liquid asphalt materials having highly volatile components, su

44、ch as rapid-curing and medium-curing cutbacks, preheating the material in an open container shall not be permitted. The material shall be poured at room temperature into the viscometer, or, if the material is too viscous to pour conveniently at room temperature, it shall be warmed sufficiently by pl

45、acing the sample in the original container in a water bath at 50C (122F) for a few minutes prior to pouring. The step that requires filtering through a wire cloth shall be omitted for liquid asphalt materials containing highly volatile components. For tests on these materials above room temperature,

46、 greater temperature differentials than indicated in Table 2 will be permitted during the heating period, but the bath temperature must be adjusted within the prescribed limits prior to the final minute of stirring (during which the temperature of the sample remains constant). 10.6. The viscosities

47、of steam-refined cylinder oils, black lubricating oils, residual fuel oils, and similar waxy products can be affected by their thermal histories. Use the following preheating procedure with such products to obtain uniform results at temperatures below 93C (200F): 2015 by the American Association of

Heat the sample in its original container to about 50C (122F), while stirring and shaking it to dissolve and blend waxy materials. Probe the bottom of the containe

49、r with a stirring rod to ensure that all waxy materials are in solution, and then mix the solution well. 10.6.2. Pour about 100 mL into a 125-mL (4.2-oz) Erlenmeyer flask. Stopper the flask loosely with a cork or rubber stopper. 10.6.3. Immerse the flask in a bath of boiling water for 30 min. 10.6.4. Mix the solution well and remove the sample from the boiling water bath. Wipe the outside of the flask dry, and strain the samp
