16、ressure.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method for measuring the high temperaturestability of gas turbine fuels uses an instrument that subjectsthe test fuel to conditions that can be related to those occurringin gas turbine engine fuel systems. The fuel is pumped at afixed volumetric flow ra
17、te through a heater, after which itenters a precision stainless steel filter where fuel degradationproducts 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 plu
18、ggingof a 17 m nominal porosity precision filter located justdownstream of the heater tube.5. Significance and Use5.1 The test results are indicative of fuel performanceduring gas turbine operation and can be used to assess the levelof deposits that form when liquid fuel contacts a heated surfacetha
19、t is at a specified temperature.6. Apparatus6.1 Aviation Fuel Thermal Oxidation Stability Tester5Eight models of suitable equipment may be used as indicatedin Table 1.6.1.1 Portions of this test may be automated. Refer to theappropriate user manual for the instrument model to be usedfor a descriptio
20、n of detailed procedure. A manual is providedwith each test rig. (WarningNo attempt should be made tooperate the instrument without first becoming acquainted withall components and the function of each.)6.1.2 Certain operational parameters used with the instru-ment are critically important to achiev
21、e 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 oxidation stability is definedonly in terms of this test method, which depends upon, and isinseparable from,
22、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) or deionized water in the spentsample reservoir as required for Model 230 and 240 instru-ments.7.2 Use methy
23、l 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 before a test, especiallythose surfaces (before the test section) that contact freshsample. (Warning Extremely
24、 flammable. Harmful if inhaled(see Annex A5).)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 section only. (Warning(1) Ex-tremely flammable, vapors may cause flash fire; (2) and (3)Flammable. Vapors of
25、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 changesgradually from blue to pink color indicating absorption ofwater. (WarningDo not inhale dust or ingest. May causest
26、omach disorder.)8.
