6、cification for Reagent Water3. Summary of Test Method3.1 To determine 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

7、 ofstandard potassium hydroxide solution. The mixture is shakenand allowed 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.

8、2 To determine the approximate total acidity, the proce-dure is the same 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 u

9、seddetermines the approximate total acid value.4. Significance and Use4.1 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 genera

10、l, acidicby-products produce increased dielectric loss, increased corro-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

The 20-mL sample weighs 17.6 g, assuming an averagespe

20、cific 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.

22、karels.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 dropper. Proceed in accor-dance with 7.2 or 7.3.7.2 To determine

23、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 oil). Shake vigorously for several seconds,allow to settle, a

24、nd 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 and settling, is a pale pink.8. Calculation8.1 For mineral oi

25、l, 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 approximate total acid value,T, as follows:T 5 B 2 A!/18 (2)NO

26、TE 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 base.NOTE 4As an alternative, prepackaged field kits have been

27、used.49. 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. Precision and Bias10.1 This test method provides for an approximation

28、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 solution. Because thistest method is only an approximation of total a

29、cidity, precisionand bias statements will not be developed.10.2 To determine quantitative acidity values, use TestMethod D 664 or Test Method D 974.11.
