42、m to 45.8 mm.It shall be supported in a vertical position in the cooling bath (see 6.7) so that not more than 25 mm projects out of the coolingmedium, and shall be capable of being cleaned.6.5 Disk, cork or felt, 6 mm thick to fit loosely inside the jacket.6.6 Gasket Ring Form, about 5 mm in thickne

43、ss, to fit snugly around the outside of the test jar and loosely inside the jacket.The gasket may be made of rubber, leather, or other material that is elastic enough to cling to the test jar and hard enough to holdits shape. Its purpose is to prevent the test jar from touching the jacket.6.7 Bath o

44、r Baths, maintained at prescribed temperatures with a firm support to hold the jacket vertical. The required bathtemperatures may be obtained by refrigeration if available, otherwise by suitable cooling mixtures. Cooling mixtures commonlyused for bath temperatures down to those shown are in Table 1.

45、7. Reagents and Materials7.1 The following solvents of technical grade are appropriate for low-temperature bath media.7.1.1 Acetone, (WarningExtremely flammable).7.1.2 Alcohol, Ethanol (WarningFlammable).7.1.3 Alcohol, Methanol (WarningFlammable. Vapor harmful).7.1.4 Petroleum Naphtha, (WarningCombu

46、stible. Vapor harmful).7.1.5 Solid Carbon Dioxide, (WarningExtremely cold 78.5 C).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 just sufficientlyfluid to pour into the test jar.NOTE 4It is known that some materials, whe

47、n heated to a temperature higher than 45 C during the preceding 24 h, do not yield the same pour pointresults as when they are kept at room temperature for 24 h prior to testing. Examples of materials which are known to show sensitivity to thermal historyare residual fuels, black oils, and cylinder

48、stocks.D97 17b48.1.1 Samples of residual fuels, black oils, and cylinder stocks which have been heated to a temperature higher than 45 Cduring the preceding 24 h, or when the thermal history of these sample types is not known, shall be kept at room temperature for24 h before testing. Samples which a

49、re known by the operator not to be sensitive to thermal history need not be kept at roomtemperature for 24 h before testing.8.1.2 Experimental evidence supporting elimination of the 24 h waiting period for some sample types is contained in a researchreport.68.2 In the case of pour points above 36 C, use a higher range temperature measuring device (6.2) such as IP 63C or ASTM61C, or a digital contact thermometer. Close the test jar with the cork carrying the test temperature measuring device
