Apparatus6.1 Aviation Fuel Thermal Oxidation Stability Tester5Five models of suitable equipment may be used as indicated inTable 1.6.1.1 Portions of this test may be automated. Refer to theappropriate user manual for the instrument mode
18、l to be usedfor a description of detailed procedure. A manual is providedwith each test rig, and the latest version of each manual is onfile at ASTM as a Research Report.5(WarningNo attemptshould be made to operate the instrument without first becom-ing acquainted with all components and the functio
19、n of each.)6.1.2 Certain operational parameters used with the instru-ment are critically important to achieve consistent and correctresults. These are listed in Table 2.6.2 Heater Tube Deposit Rating Apparatus:6.2.1 Visual Tube Rater, the tuberator described in AnnexA1.6.3 Because jet fuel thermal o
20、xidation stability is definedonly in terms of this test method, which depends upon, and isinseparable from, the specific equipment used, the test methodshall be conducted with the equipment used to develop the testmethod or equivalent equipment.7. Reagents and Materials7.1 Use distilled (preferred)
21、or deionized water in the spentsample reservoir as required for Model 230 and 240 instru-ments.7.2 Use methyl pentane, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, orn-heptane (technical grade, 95 mol % minimum purity) asgeneral cleaning solvent. This solvent will effectively cleaninternal metal surfaces of apparatus be
22、fore a test, especiallythose surfaces (before the test section) that contact freshsample. (WarningExtremely flammable. Harmful if inhaled(see Annex A3).)7.2.1 Use trisolvent (equal mix of acetone (1), toluene (2),and isopropanol (3) as a specific solvent to clean internal(working) surface of test se
23、ction only. (Warning(1) Ex-tremely flammable, vapors may cause flash fire; (2) and (3)Flammable. Vapors of all three harmful. Irritating to skin, eyes,and mucous membranes.)7.3 Use dry calcium sulfate + cobalt chloride granules (97 +3 mix) in the aeration dryer. This granular material changesgradual

Preparation of Apparatus9.1 Cleaning and Assembly of Heater Test Section:9.1.1 Clean the
28、inside surface of the heater test section usinga nylon brush saturated with trisolvent material to remove alldeposits.9.1.2 Check the heater tube to be used in the test for surfacedefects and straightness by referring to the procedure in AnnexA1.10. Be careful, also, to avoid scratching tube shoulde
29、rduring the examination, since the tube shoulder must besmooth to ensure a seal under the flow conditions of the test.9.1.3 Assemble the heater section using new items: (1)visually checked heater tube, (2) test filter, and (3) threeO-rings. Inspect insulators to be sure they are undamaged.5The follo
