26、ocedures described in Practice D4057. Use the sample asreceived. Allow all samples to come to ambient temperature(20 6 5C), without artificial heating.

27、lace the lamp in a vertical position in a room where itcan be completely protected from drafts. Carefully inspect eachnew lamp to ensure that the air holes in the gallery and the airinlets to the candle holder are all clean, unrestricted, and ofproper size. The gallery shall be so located that the a

28、ir holes arecompletely unobstructed.NOTE 2Slight variations in these items all have a marked effect on theprecision of the result obtained.9.1.1 If the room is not completely draft-free, place the lampin a vertical position in a box constructed of heat-resistantmaterial (not containing asbestos), op

The top ofthe box shall be at least 150 mm above the top of the chimneyand the inside of the box painted dull black.Automated Apparatus9.2 Prepare the apparatus according to the manufacturersinstructions.9.3 Extract all wicks, either new or from a previousdetermination, for at least

30、 25 cycles in an extractor, using amixture of equal volumes of toluene and anhydrous methanol.Allow the wicks to dry partially in a hood before placing in theoven, or use a forced-draft and explosion-proof oven for dryingwicks, or both. Dry for 30 min at 100 to 110C, and store in adessicator until u

31、sed.9.3.1 Extracted wicks are commercially available and maybe used, provided that they have been certified as beingextracted by the procedure outlined in 9.3. Store purchasedextracted wicks in a desiccator over desiccant until use. Afteruse, extract these wicks as in 9.3 before using again.10. Cali

32、bration of ApparatusManual Apparatus10.1 Confirm calibration of the apparatus in accordancewith 10.1.3 or calibrate, if needed, in accordance with 10.1.1prior to first use of the day. Recalibrate when there has been achange in the apparatus or operator, or when a change of morethan 0.7 kPa occurs in

33、 the barometric pressure reading.10.1.1 Calibrate the apparatus by testing two of the refer-ence fuel blends specified in 7.4, using the procedure specifiedin Section 11 and, if possible, bracketing the smoke point of thesample. If this is not possible, use the two test blends havingtheir smoke poin

34、ts nearest to the smoke point of the sample.10.1.2 Determine the correction factor, f, for the apparatusfrom the equation:f 5As Ad!1Bs Bd!2(1)where:As = the standard smoke point of the first reference fuelblend,Ad = the smoke point determined for the first reference fuelblend,Bs = the standard smoke

35、 point of the second reference fuelblend, andBd = the smoke point determined for the second referencefuel blend.If the smoke point determined for the test fuel exactlymatches the smoke point determined for a reference fuel blend,use as the second bracketing reference fuel the reference fuelblend wit

36、h the next higher smoke point, if there is one.Otherwise, use the one with the next closest smoke point.10.1.3 An alternative approach to confirm calibration of theapparatus is for each operator to run a control sample each daythe apparatus is in use. Record the results and compare theaverage from t

37、he database of the control sample using controlcharts or equivalent statistical techniques. If the differenceexceeds the control limits or when new apparatus is used, thenthe apparatus must be recalibrated.Automated Apparatus10.2 The apparatus shall have a calibration database for thestorage of the

38、reference fuel blends values specified in Table 1.Each calibration test performed with the reference fuel blendsTABLE 1 Reference Fuel BlendsStandard Smoke Point at101.3 kPaToluene 2,2,4-trimethylpentanemm % (V/V) % (V/V)14.7 40 6020.2 25 7522.7 20 8025.8 15 8530.2 10 9035.4 5 9542.8 0 100D1322 1513

39、shall be stored in this database in addition with the barometricpressure observed at the moment the calibration was per-formed.10.2.1 The apparatus shall have the capability to automati-cally calculate the correction factor f according to Eq 1 byautomatically selecting in its calibration database th

40、e referencefuel blends values specified in Table 1, using the procedurespecified in Section 11 and the calculation specified in Section12 and, if possible, bracketing the smoke point of the sample.If this is not possible, it shall use the two test blend resultshaving their smoke points nearest to th

41、e smoke point of thesample.NOTE 3The digital camera and the associated software replace theoperator eyes for the observation of the flame. Consequently it is notnecessary to recalibrate the apparatus when there has been a change in theoperator.10.2.2 Record the barometric pressure and check in theca

42、libration database that the instrument has been calibrated atthat recorded pressure 60.7 kPa. If no calibration values existfor the seven blends specified in Table 1 at the pressureobserved 60.7 kPa, calibrate the apparatus in accordance with10.2.3. If calibration values exist for the seven blends s

43、pecifiedin Table 1, in other words, if the instrument has been alreadycalibrated at the pressure observed, check the apparatus inaccordance with 10.2.4.NOTE 4Because the automated apparatus stores the smoke pointsobtained with the reference fuels at different barometric pressures, it is notnecessary

44、 to recalibrate the apparatus when a change of more than 0.7 kPaoccurs in the barometric pressure reading. Depending on the barometricpressure entered at the test initiation, the apparatus will automatically usethe correct stored values obtained with the fuel blends. If the correctvalues are not yet

45、 stored, the apparatus will prompt the operator in orderto perform the calibration at the pressure observed.10.2.3 Calibrate the apparatus by testing the seven referencefuel blends specified in 7.4, using the procedure specified inSection 11.10.2.4 At regular intervals of not more than seven days or

46、when there has been a change in the apparatus, verify that theapparatus is performing properly by using a quality control(QC) sample that is representative of the fuel(s) routinelytested by the laboratory to confirm that the apparatus is instatistical control following the guidelines given in Practi

47、ceD6299. If the difference exceeds the control limits, recalibratethe apparatus.11. Procedure11.1 Soak a piece of extracted and dried wick, not less than125 mm long, in the sample and place it in the wick tube of thecandle (Fig. 3). Carefully ease out any twists arising from thisoperation. In cases

48、of dispute, or of referee tests, always use anew wick, prepared in the manner specified in 9.3.11.1.1 It is advisable to resoak the burning-end of the wickin the sample after the wick is inserted in the wick tube.11.2 Introduce as near to 20 mL of the prepared sample asavailable, but not less than 1

49、0 mL, at room temperature, intothe clean, dry candle.11.3 Place the wick tube in the candle and screw home. Takecare that the candle air vent is free from fuel. If a wick-trimmerassembly is not being used, cut the wick horizontally and trimit free of frayed ends so that 6 mm projects from the end of thecandle. Use a clean razor blade or other sharp instrument.11.3.1 Some razor blades have a protective coating; in suchcases, remove the coating with a solvent before using the blade.11.3.2 An alternative method of preparing a wick free oftwis
