Apparatus6.1 Test Jar, cylindrical, of clear glass, flat bottom, 33.2
18、 to34.8-mm outside diameter, and 115 to 125 mm in height. Theinside diameter of the jar can range from 30.0 to 32.4 mm,within the constraint that the wall thickness be no greater than1.6 mm. The jar shall have a line to indicate a sample height 546 3 mm above the inside bottom. See Fig. 1.6.2 Thermo

28、.8. Procedure8.1 Pour the specimen into the test jar to the level mark.When necessary, heat the specimen in a bath until it is justsufficiently fluid to pour into the test jar.NOTE 1It is known that some materials, when heated to a temperaturehigher than 45C during the preceding 24 h, do not yield t
29、he same pourpoint results as when they are kept at room temperature for 24 h prior totesting. Examples of materials which are known to show sensitivity tothermal history are residual fuels, black oils, and cylinder stocks.8.1.1 Samples of residual fuels, black oils, and cylinderstocks which have bee
30、n heated to a temperature higher than45C during the preceding 24 h, or when the thermal history ofthese sample types is not known, shall be kept at roomtemperature for 24 h before testing. Samples which are knownby the operator not to be sensitive to thermal history need notbe kept at room temperatu
31、re for 24 h before testing.8.1.2 Experimental evidence supporting elimination of the24-h waiting period for some sample types is contained in aresearch report.68.2 Close the test jar with the cork carrying the high-pourthermometer (5.2). In the case of pour points above 36C, usea higher range thermo
32、meter such as IP 63C or ASTM 61C.Adjust the position of the cork and thermometer so the cork fitstightly, the thermometer and the jar are coaxial, and thethermometer bulb is immersed so the beginning of the capillaryis 3 mm below the surface of the specimen.8.3 For the measurement of pour point, sub
33、ject the speci-men in the test jar to the following preliminary treatment:8.3.1 Specimens Having Pour Points Above 33CHeatthe specimen without stirring to 9C above the expected pourpoint, but to at least 45C, in a bath maintained at 12C abovethe expected pour point, but at least 48C. Transfer the te
34、st jarto a bath maintained at 24 6 1.5C and commence observa-tions for pour point. When using a liquid bath, ensure that theliquid level is between the fill mark on the test jar and the topof the test jar.8.3.2 Specimens Having Pour Points of 33C andBelowHeat the specimen without stirring to at leas
35、t 45C ina bath maintained at 48 6 1.5C. Transfer the test jar to a bathmaintained at 24 6 1.5C. When using a liquid bath, ensurethat the liquid level is between the fill mark on the test jar andthe top of the test jar. When the specimen temperature reaches27C, remove the high cloud and pour thermome
36、ter, and placethe low cloud and pour thermometer in position. Transfer thetest jar to the cooling bath (see 8.6.1).8.4 See that the disk, gasket, and the inside of the jacket areclean and dry. Place the disk in the bottom of the jacket. Placethe gasket around the test jar, 25 mm from the bottom. Ins
37、ertthe test jar in the jacket. Never place a jar directly into thecooling medium.8.5 After the specimen has cooled to allow the formation ofparaffin wax crystals, take great care not to disturb the mass ofspecimen nor permit the thermometer to shift in the specimen;any disturbance of the spongy netw
38、ork of wax crystals willlead to low and erroneous results.8.6 Pour points are expressed in integers that are positive ornegative multiples of 3C. Begin to examine the appearance ofthe specimen when the temperature of the specimen is 9Cabove the expected pour point (estimated as a multiple of 3C).At
39、each test thermometer reading that is a multiple of 3Cbelow the starting temperature remove the test jar from thejacket. To remove condensed moisture that limits visibilitywipe the surface with a clean cloth moistened in alcohol(ethanol or methanol). Tilt the jar just enough to ascertainwhether ther
40、e is a movement of the specimen in the test jar. Ifmovement of specimen in the test jar is noted, then replace thetest jar immediately in the jacket and repeat a test for flow atthe next temperature, 3C lower. Typically, the completeoperation of removal, wiping, and replacement shall requirenot more
41、 than 3 s.8.6.1 If the specimen has not ceased to flow when itstemperature has reached 27C, transfer the test jar to a jacket ina cooling bath maintained at 0 6 1.5C. As the specimencontinues to get colder, transfer the test jar to a jacket in thenext lower temperature cooling bath in accordance wit
42、h Table1.8.6.2 If the specimen in the jar does not show movementwhen tilted, hold the jar in a horizontal position for 5 s, asnoted by an accurate timing device, and observe the specimencarefully. If the specimen shows any signs of movement before5 s has passed, replace the test jar immediately in t
43、he jacket andrepeat a test for flow at the next temperature, 3C lower.8.7 Continue in this manner until a point is reached at whichthe specimen shows no movement when the test jar is held ina horizontal position for 5 s. Record the observed reading ofthe test thermometer.8.8 For black specimen, cyli
44、nder stock, and nondistillatefuel specimen, the result obtained by the procedure describedin 8.1 through 8.7 is the upper (maximum) pour point. Ifrequired, determine the lower (minimum) pour point by heat-ing the sample while stirring, to 105C, pouring it into the jar,and determining the pour point
45、as described in 8.4 through 8.7.8.9 Some specifications allow for a pass/fail test or havepour point limits at temperatures not divisible by 3C. In thesecases, it is acceptable practice to conduct the pour point6Supporting data have been filed at ASTM International Headquarters and maybe obtained by
