Summary of Test Method4.1 The total concentration of naphthalenes in jet fuels isdetermined by measurement of the absorbance at
19、285 nm of asolution of the fuel at known concentration.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method for naphthalene hydrocarbons is one ofa group of tests used to assess the combustion characteristics ofaviation turbine fuels of the kerosene boiling range. Thenaphthalene hydrocarbon content is determ
20、ined because naph-thalenes, when burned, tend to have a relatively larger contri-bution to a sooty flame, smoke, and thermal radiation thansingle ring aromatics.6. Interferences6.1 Interferences add to the apparent naphthalene content.Phenanthrenes, dibenzothiophenes, biphenyls, ben-zothiophenes, an
21、d anthracenes interfere if present. The endpoint limitation of 315C will minimize this interferenceexcept for benzothiophenes and biphenyls. The contribution tomeasured naphthalene content by the presence of 1 % of suchinterfering compounds can be estimated from Table 1.6.2 Saturated hydrocarbons, o
22、lefins, thiophenes, and alkylor cycloalkyl derivatives of benzene will not interfere.7. Apparatus7.1 Spectrophotometer, equipped to measure the absorbanceof solutions in the spectral region 240 to 300 nm with a spectralslit width of 1 nm or less. Wavelength measurements shall berepeatable and known
23、to be accurate within 0.1 nm or less asmeasured by mercury emission line at 253.65 nm or theabsorption spectrum of either holmium oxide glass at 287.5 nmor holmium oxide solution at 287.1 nm. At the 0.4 absorbancelevel in the spectral region between 240 and 300 nm, absor-bance measurements shall be
24、repeatable within 60.5 % orbetter. In the absorbance range encompassing 0.2 to 0.8, thephotometric accuracy shall not differ by more than 60.5 % ofsamples whose absorbance has been established by a standard-izing laboratory.7.1.1 DiscussionMany manufacturers provide secondarystandards, traceable to
25、NIST primary standards, for checkingthe wavelength accuracy and photometric accuracy of spectro-photometers. These materials may be used to verify spectro-photometer performance provided that they have been recali-brated periodically as recommended by the manufacturer.7.2 It shall be initially and t
26、hereafter periodically demon-strated that an instrument can be operated in a manner to givetest results equivalent to those described in 7.1.NOTE 1For recommended methods of testing spectrophotometers tobe used in this test method, refer to Practice E 275. Other preferredalternatives to those in 7.1
27、 are potassium dichromate in perchloric acid(NIST SRM 935 series as described in Practice E 275) for photometricaccuracy and a 20 mg/L high (99 %) purity naphthalene in spectroscopicgrade isooctane for wavelength accuracy. The latter has a minor maximumat 285.7 nm. The naphthalene solution shall not
28、 be used for photometricaccuracy.7.3 Vitreous Silica Cells, two, having path lengths of 1.00 60.005 cm.7.4 Pipets, Class A.7.5 Lens Paper.7.6 Balance, capable of taring or weighing 100 g to thenearest 0.0001 g.

29、2,4 Trimethylpentane (Isooctane).(WarningIsooctane is extremely flammable, harmful if in-haled.)NOTE 2Spectroscopic-grade isooctane is available commercially.Technical-grade isooctane is a satisfactory base stock for the preparationof spectroscopic solvent.Allow about 4 or 5 L of this material to pe
30、rcolatethrough a column of activated silica gel (74 m) 50.8 to 76.2 mm indiameter and 0.6 to 0.9 m in depth. Collect only the portion of the solventthat has a transmission compared to distilled water greater than 90 % overthe entire spectral range from 240 to 300 nm. Store in scrupulously cleanglass
31、-stoppered bottles and always keep covered. In general it will be bestto use a fresh portion of silica gel in preparing a new batch of solvent.However the gel can be reactivated by pouring 500 mL of acetone throughthe column, draining, drying by suction, and heating the gel in thin layersin an oven
32、at 400C until white color is restored. Activated silica gel isstored in closed containers.TABLE 1 Interfering CompoundsType of Interfering CompoundError in Percentage ofNaphthalenes Caused by 1 %Interfering CompoundPhenanthrenes 2Dibenzothiophenes 2Biphenyls 1Benzothiophenes 0.6Anthracenes 0.1D18400

40、sample cell of the spectrophotometer.Cover the cells immediately to prevent transfer of aromatichydrocarbons from the sample cell to the solvent cell. Checkthe windows of the absorption cells and make certain they areclean. Measure the absorbance as recommended in PracticesE 169. Record the absorban
41、ce of the sample as compared tospectroscopic isooctane at 285 nm.NOTE 5The dilution of the sample should be controlled so thatabsorbance readings fall within a range of 0.2 to 0.8 for maximumreproducibility of results. To accomplish this it may be necessary to use analternative third dilution than t
