Summary of Test Method3.1 Equal volumes of fuel oil and water-saturated tolueneare placed in each of two cone-shaped centrifuge tubes. Aftercentrifugation, the volume of the higher density water andsediment layer at the bottom
17、of the tube is read.4. Significance and Use4.1 The water and sediment content of fuel oil is significantbecause it can cause corrosion of equipment and problems inprocessing. A determination of water and sediment content isrequired to measure accurately net volumes of actual fuel oil insales, taxati

In cases where theimpact on the results may be significant, the user is advised toconsider using another test method, such as Test MethodD6304.5. Apparatus5.1 Ce

The trunnion cups and cushions shallfirmly support the tubes when the centrifuge is in motion. Thecentrifuge shall be enclosed by a metal shield o

It shall be capable ofmaintaining the sample temperature during the entire process at60 6 1C (140 6 1.8F). The thermostatic control shall b

See Annex A1for the solvent-water saturation procedure.6.2 Demulsifiers:6.2.1 Where necessary, use a demulsifier to promote theseparation of water from the sample, to prevent water fr

Sampling7.1 Sampling is defined as all steps required to obtain analiquot of the contents of any pipe, tank, or other system and toplace them into the laboratory test container.7.2 Only re
38、presentative samples obtained as specified inPractice D4057 (API MPMS Chapter 8.1) and Practice D4177(API MPMS Chapter 8.2) shall be used for this test method.7.3 Practice D5854 (API MPMS Chapter 8.3) containsadditional information on sampling and homogenization effi-ciency of an untested mixer. Do
39、not use this test methodwithout strict adherence to Practice D5854 (API MPMSChapter 8.3).8. Procedure8.1 Fill each of two centrifuge tubes (5.2) to the 50-mLmark with the well-mixed sample directly from the samplecontainer. Using a pipette, add 50 mL of the water-saturatedsolvent (6.1). Read the top
40、 of the meniscus at both the 50 and100 mL marks. Stopper the tubes tightly and shake vigorouslyuntil the contents are thoroughly mixed. Loosen the stopperson the tubes and immerse the tubes to the 100-mL mark for 10min in the bath maintained at 60 6 1C (140 6 1.8F).8.2 Tighten the stoppers and again
41、 invert the tubes to ensurethat the oil and solvent are uniformly mixed and shakecautiously. (WarningIn general, the vapor pressures ofhydrocarbons at 60C (140F) are approximately double thoseat 40C (104F). Consequently, invert the tubes at a positionbelow eye level so that contact will be avoided i
42、f the stopper isblown out.)8.3 Place the tubes in the trunnion cups on opposite sides ofthe centrifuge to establish a balanced condition and ensure thatthe tubes and stoppers do not touch adjacent or opposite tubeswhen in the extended position. Spin for 10 min at a rate,calculated from the equation
43、given in 5.1.6, sufficient toproduce a relative centrifugal force (rcf) of between 500 and800 at the tip of the whirling tubes (see Table 2 for therelationship between diameter of swing, relative centrifugalforce, and revolutions per minute). Maintain the temperature ofthe sample during the entire c
