5、H to 150mg/g KOH.1.1.2 Test Method BDeveloped specifically for biodieseland biodiesel blends with low acidity and slightly differentsolubility. This test method requires the use of an automatictitrator with automatic endpoint seeking capability.NOTE 1In new and used oils, the constituents that may b

7、d to indicate relativechanges that occur in oil during use under oxidizing conditionsregardless of the color or other properties of the resulting oil.Although the titration is made under definite equilibriumconditions, the test method is not intended to measure anabsolute acidic property that can be

20、d.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The sample is dissolved in a titration solvent and titratedpotentiometrically with alcoholic potassium hydroxide using aglass indicating electrode and a reference electrode or acombination electrode. The meter readings are plotted manu-ally or automatically against the

21、 respective volumes of titratingsolution and the end points are taken only at well-definedinflections in the resulting curve. When no definite inflectionsare obtained and for used oils, end points are taken at meterreadings corresponding to those found for aqueous acidic andbasic buffer solutions.5.

22、 Significance and Use5.1 New and used petroleum products, biodiesel and blendsof biodiesel may contain acidic constituents that are present asadditives or as degradation products formed during service,such as oxidation products. The relative amount of thesematerials can be determined by titrating wi

23、th bases. The acidnumber is a measure of this amount of acidic substance in theoil, always under the conditions of the test. The acid number isused as a guide in the quality control of lubricating oilformulations. It is also sometimes used as a measure oflubricant degradation in service. Any condemn

24、ing limits mustbe empirically established.5.2 Since a variety of oxidation products contribute to theacid number and the organic acids vary widely in corrosionproperties, the test method cannot be used to predict corrosive-ness of oil or biodiesel and blends under service conditions. Nogeneral corre

25、lation is known between acid number and thecorrosive tendency of biodiesel and blends or oils towardmetals.6.
