The fuel is pumped at afixed volumetric flow rate through a heater, after which itenters a precision stainless steel filter where fuel degra
17、dationproducts may become trapped.4.1.1 The apparatus uses 450 mL of test fuel ideally duringa 2.5-h test. The essential data derived are the amount ofdeposits on an aluminum heater tube, and the rate of pluggingof a 17 m nominal porosity precision filter located justdownstream of the heater tube.5.

(WarningExtremely flammable. Harmful if inhaled(see Annex A3).)7.2.1 Use trisolvent (equal mix of acetone (1), tol
24、uene (2),and isopropanol (3) as a specific solvent to clean internal(working) surface of test section only. (Warning(1) Ex-tremely flammable, vapors may cause flash fire; (2) and (3)Flammable.
