Significance and Use5.1 Density is a fundamental physical property that can be used in conjunction with other properties to characterize both thelight
16、and heavy fractions of petroleum and to assess the quality of crude oils.5.2 Determination of the density or relative density of petroleum and its products is necessary for the conversion of measuredvolumes to volumes at the standard temperatures of 15C.15 C.5.3 The determination of densities at the
17、 elevated temperatures of 4040 C and 100C100 C is particularly useful in providingthe data needed for the conversion of kinematic viscosities in centistokes (mmmm2/s) /s (centistokes) to the corresponding dynamicviscosities in centipoises (mPas).mPas (centipoises).6.

Warm the necessary amount of cleaningacid in the beaker, place the pycnometer on the ground joint, and evacua

Fill the pycnometerwith acid by turning the stop-cock, and either repeat several times, or remove the filled pycnometer and allow it to stand for severalhours at 50 to 60C. at 50 C to 60 C. Remove the acid from the pycnometer by evacuation, empty the acid from t
34、he trap, andflush the pycnometer with distilled water. Clean in this manner whenever the pycnometer is to be calibrated or whenever liquidfails to drain cleanly from the walls of the pycnometer or its capillary. Ordinarily, the pycnometer may be cleaned betweendeterminations by washing with a suitab

38、 Acid Cleaning SolutionD1480 1559. Calibration of Pycnometers9.1 Weigh the clean, dry pycnometer to 0.1 mg and record the weight.NOTE 3It is convenient to use the lightest of a set of pycnometers as a tare. For best results the treatment and environment of both pycnometer andtare should be identical
39、 for some time prior to weighing.9.2 With a syringe of suitable size, transfer freshly boiled and cooled distilled water to the pycnometer through the filling needle(Note 6). Avoid trapping air bubbles in the bulb or capillary of the pycnometer, removing bubbles, as they form, with the syringe,when
40、possible. Also remove any water above the calibration mark and dry the overflow chamber and capillary with a cotton-fiberpipe cleaner or cotton swab which has been moistened slightly with acetone. Do not touch the plunger of the syringe or hypodermicneedle with fingers as minute quantities of oil tr
41、ansferred this way would cause faulty drainage in the capillary neck of thepycnometer.9.3 Close the pycnometer with the glass stopper and immerse it to a point above the calibration mark in the constant-temperaturebath adjusted to a constancy of 60.01C6 0.01 C at the desired temperature (Note 4). Pe
42、riodically, or before the liquid expandsinto the overflow chamber, remove the stopper, raise the pycnometer sufficiently to expose the calibration mark to view, andreadjust the liquid level to the mark by withdrawing liquid through the steel draw-off needle until expansion has stopped, indicatingtha
43、t the liquid has reached the temperature of the thermostat. To minimize errors caused by faulty drainage, do not allow the liquidto expand more than 10 mm above the calibration mark at any time. Allow the contents to equilibrate an additional 10 min anddraw the level down exactly to the calibration
44、line, avoiding parallax and using a magnifier, if necessary, to obtain good visibility.Remove any liquid adhering to the walls above the calibration mark, with the draw-off needle or pipe cleaner, depending upon thevolatility of the sample. Portions in the overflow bulb can be removed with a cotton
45、swab moistened with acetone.NOTE 4For temperatures above 80C80 C calculate the volume from the coefficient of expansion of the glass observed from calibrations made at60, 70,60 C, 70 C, and 80C.80 C.9.4 Replace the glass stopper, remove the pycnometer from the bath, wash the outside surface with ace
46、tone, and dry thoroughlywith a chemically clean, lint-free, slightly damp cloth. Place the pycnometer in or near the balance case for 20 min 20 min andweigh to the nearest 0.1 mg.NOTE 5In atmospheres of low humidity (60 % or lower), drying the pycnometer by rubbing with a dry cotton cloth will induc
47、e static chargesequivalent to a loss of about 1 mg in the weight of the pycnometer. This charge may not be completely dissipated in less than 30 min. The use of about0.1 mg of radium bromide- or polonium-coated foil in the balance case, or maintaining the relative humidity at 60 percent 60 % or high
48、er, aids in reducingweighing difficulties due to static charges.9.5 Calculate the pycnometer calibration factor, Ft, from the equation:Ft 5density of water at tC!/ (1)weight of water in pycnometer at tC!See Table 2 for the density of water between 00 C and 100C.100 C.TABLE 1 Vacuum Corrections to be
