1、Designation: D 4055 04 (Reapproved 2009)Standard Test Method forPentane Insolubles by Membrane Filtration1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4055; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last

2、revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of pentaneinsolubles for particles exceeding 0.8 m in new and usedlubricating oil

3、s.NOTE 1Pentane insolubles with particle sizes less than 0.8 m may bestudied with appropriate size membrane filters. Particle sizes above orbelow 0.8 m can be studied. The precision of this test method has beendetermined only at 0.8 m.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.

4、No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 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 safety and health practices and determine the applica-bi

Summary of Test Method4.1 A sample of new or used lubricating oil is mixed withpentane in a volumetric flask. The oil solution is filter

8、edthrough an 0.8-m membrane filter. The flask, funnel, and filterare washed with additional pentane to effect a completetransfer of particulates onto the filter. The filter and itsparticulates are dried and weighed to give the pentane in-solubles.5. Significance and Use5.1 Pentane insolubles above 0

9、.8 m in size may lead toincreased wear. This increased wear can lead to prematureequipment failure in critical applications.6. Apparatus6.1 In the development of this test method, it was noted thatvariations, particularly with respect to glassware and filtermedia, can affect the test result signific

Procedure8.1 Using either Practice D 4057 (manual sampling) orPractice D 4177 (automatic sampling), obtain a representativesample of the material to be tested.8.1.1 Preparation of Sample and Materials:8.1.2 Warm the oil in the original container, if possible, to60 6 5C. Shake f

Wash the membrane gently,particularly the edges, with pentane from the wash bottle. Ifany sample fails to remain o

Place in the same aluminum weighingdish originally used and dry in the oven and cool in thedesiccator as in 8.2.2. Weigh the membrane to the nearest 0.1mg.NOTE 3The use of a semimic

Report10.1 Report the percentages of pentane insolubles by mem-brane filtration as:pentane insolubles (0.8 m) percent weight10.2 Some new oil chemistry will require determination ofa baseline value for the new oil (that is, the blank determinationmay not be zero).1

30、1. Precision and Bias1011.1 The precision of this test method as determined bystatistical examination of interlaboratory results is as follows:11.1.1 RepeatabilityThe difference between two test re-sults, obtained by the same operator with the same apparatusunder constant operating conditions on ide

32、ong run, in the normal and correct operation ofthe test method, exceed the following values only in one casein twenty:0.177 X2/3(2)where:X = average of two results.11.1.2 ReproducibilityThe interlaboratory precision (re-producibility) of this test is very poor, and this method ofmeasuring pentane in

33、solubles is unsuitable for the purpose ofcomparison of interlaboratory results. Additional cooperativestudies to improve the precision are planned.0.759 X2/3(3)where:X = average of two results.11.2 BiasA statement of bias is not applicable since astandard reference material for this property is not
