1、Designation: D974 11Designation: 139/98Standard Test Method forAcid and Base Number by Color-Indicator Titration1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D974; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of

2、last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determin

3、ation of acidic orbasic constituents (Note 1) in petroleum products2and lubri-cants soluble or nearly soluble in mixtures of toluene andisopropyl alcohol. It is applicable for the determination of acidsor bases whose dissociation constants in water are larger than109; extremely weak acids or bases w

4、hose dissociationconstants are smaller than 109do not interfere. Salts react iftheir hydrolysis constants are larger than 109.NOTE 1In new and used oils, the constituents considered to haveacidic characteristics include organic and inorganic acids, esters, phenoliccompounds, lactones, resins, salts

5、of heavy metals, and addition agentssuch as inhibitors and detergents. Similarly, constituents considered tohave basic properties include organic and inorganic bases, amino com-pounds, salts of weak acids (soaps), basic salts of polyacidic bases, saltsof heavy metals, and addition agents such as inh

6、ibitors and detergents.NOTE 2This test method is not suitable for measuring the basicconstituents of many basic additive-type lubricating oils. Test MethodD4739 can be used for this purpose.1.2 This test method can be used to indicate relative changesthat occur in an oil during use under oxidizing c

7、onditions.Although the titration is made under definite equilibriumconditions, the method does not measure an absolute acidic orbasic property that can be used to predict performance of an oilunder service conditions. No general relationship betweenbearing corrosion and acid or base numbers is known

8、.NOTE 3Oils, such as many cutting oils, rustproofing oils, and similarcompounded oils, or excessively dark-colored oils, that cannot be ana-lyzed for acid number by this test method due to obscurity of thecolor-indicator end point, can be analyzed by Test Method D664. The acidnumbers obtained by thi

9、s color-indicator test method need not benumerically the same as those obtained by Test Method D664, the basenumbers obtained by this color indicator test method need not benumerically the same as those obtained by Test Method D4739, but theyare generally of the same order of magnitude.1.3 The value

10、s stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safe

To determine the strong acid number, a separate portionof the sample is extracted with hot water and the aqueousextract is titrated with potassium hydroxide solution, usingmethyl orange as an indicator.5. Significance and Use5.1 New and used petroleum products can contain basic oracidic constituen

23、ts that are present as additives or as degrada-tion products formed during service, such as oxidation prod-ucts. The relative amount of these materials can be determinedby titrating with acids or bases. This number, whether ex-pressed as acid number or base number, is a measure of thisamount of acid

24、ic or basic substances, respectively, in theoilalways under the conditions of the test. This number isused as a guide in the quality control of lubricating oilformulations. It is also sometimes used as a measure oflubricant degradation in service; however, any condemninglimits must be empirically es

25、tablished.5.2 Since a variety of oxidation products contribute to theacid number and the organic acids vary widely in corrosiveproperties, the test cannot be used to predict corrosiveness ofan oil under service conditions. No general correlation isknown between acid number and the corrosive tendency
