3、termination of theapproximate total acid value of used electrical insulatingliquids having viscosities less than 24 cSt at 40C. It is a simpleprocedure that can be applied in the field. Where a quantitativeneutralization value is required, use Test Method D 664 or TestMethod D 974. These test method

Summary of Test Method3.1 To determine

6、whether the acidity is greater or less thana specified arbitrary value, a fixed volume of liquid to be testedis added to a graduated cylinder, together with a small amountof indicator (phenolphthalein) and the appropriate quantity ofstandard potassium hydroxide solution. The mixture is shakenand all

7、owed to separate. The color of the aqueous layer at thebottom of the container when testing mineral oils, or at the topwhen testing askarels, determines whether the acidity is lessthan or greater than the arbitrary value chosen.3.2 To determine the approximate total acidity, the proce-dure is the sa

8、me as described in 3.1 except that the potassiumhydroxide solution is added in small increments until the colorof the aqueous layer, after shaking and settling, is a faint pink.The volume of standard potassium hydroxide solution useddetermines the approximate total acid value.4. Significance and Use

9、4.1 The approximate acidity of used electrical insulatingoils is an estimate of the total acid value of the oil. As acidvalues increase, oil quality decreases. This is usually due tooxidation of the oil while in service. In general, acidicby-products produce increased dielectric loss, increased corr

10、o-sivity, and may cause thermal difficulties attributable to in-soluble components called “sludge.” This test method isadapted to a specific volume of oil; total acid values of 0.05 to0.5 mg of potassium hydroxide per gram of oil is a range whichis functionally significant.5. Apparatus5.1 Graduated

18、ving solid KOH in a solution ofequal volumes of alcohol and water in accordance with themethod of preparation and standardization described in TestMethod D 974 or Test Method D 664, except for the solventand the normality.NOTE 2As applied to mineral oil, this normality is chosen to simplifythe calcu

19、lation. The 20-mL sample weighs 17.6 g, assuming an averagespecific gravity of 0.88. With a 17.6-g sample, 10 mL of 0.031 N KOHsolution corresponds to an acid value of 1. The normality should bechecked from time to time in a laboratory. If it is outside the 60.003tolerance, due either to evaporation

20、 of solvent or precipitation of potas-sium carbonate (K2CO3) formed by reaction with carbon dioxide (CO2)from the atmosphere, it should be discarded.The specific gravity of commonly used askarels is 1.56, or approxi-mately 1.8 times that of mineral oil, and this difference must be recognizedin the c

21、alculation or equipment calibration, or both, as applied to askarels.7. Procedure7.1 Rinse the graduated cylinder first with denatured alcoholand then with a small amount of the liquid to be tested. Pour inthe test specimen to the 20-mL mark and add two drops ofindicator solution with a medicine dro

22、pper. Proceed in accor-dance with 7.2 or 7.3.7.2 To determine whether the acidity is greater or less thana value specified by the user, add the appropriate volume ofKOH solution by dispensing from a calibrated pipet (forexample, 0.5 mL if the fixed figure is 0.05 mg KOH per gramof oil, as applied to

23、 oil). Shake vigorously for several seconds,allow to settle, and observe the aqueous layer. If it is free ofpink, the acidity is greater than the specified value.7.3 To determine the approximate total acidity, add KOHsolution in increments of 0.5 mL until the color of the aqueouslayer, after shaking

24、 and settling, is a pale pink.8. Calculation8.1 For mineral oil, calculate the approximate total acidvalue, T, as follows:T 5 B 2 A!/10 (1)where:A = test specimen used, (20) mL,B = liquid in the cylinder at the conclusion of the test,mL, andBA = KOH solution added, mL.8.2 For askarel, calculate the

25、approximate total acid value,T, as follows:T 5 B 2 A!/18 (2)NOTE 3Other concentrations of base may be used in the titration. Aless concentrated solution of KOH provides a greater volume of theaqueous layer. The calculations must then be modified to account for thedifference in the concentration of b

Report9.1 Report the following information:9.1.1 The approximate total acidity value, T, in mgKOH/gtest specimen.9.1.2 When possible, report the acidity as “greater than” or“less than” the value specified by the user.10. Precisio

27、n and Bias10.1 This test method provides for an approximation of totalacidity, with a minimum detection level of 0.005 mgKOH/gtest specimen. The total acidity is based on whether the acidityis greater or less than a user-specified value corresponding tothe addition of specific volumes of KOH solutio

28、n. Because thistest method is only an approximation of total acidity, precisionand bias statements will not be developed.10.2 To determine quantitative acidity values, use TestMethod D 664 or Test Method D 974.11.
