Summary of Guide3.1 An apparatus is described in which a sample of testfluid, ty

9、pically from 100 ml or 100 g, is subjected to thermal oroxidative degradation or both. Insoluble or soluble catalystmay be added. Gas may be bubbled through the liquid toprovide agitation or to promote oxidation or both. Water orwater vapor may be added. At the end of the test or at intervalsthrough

10、out the test, the liquid is monitored for change inneutralization number, viscosity, weight loss, formation ofsludge, or for other parameters. The corrosivity of the fluidtoward any catalyst metals can be determined from theappearance and weight change of the metal test specimens, ifpresent, or by m

11、onitoring the oil and any sludge or water formetal content. The test is terminated after a fixed time periodor when a selected parameter reaches a condemning value.NOTE 1The volume of liquid at test temperature should be sufficientto cover the catalysts and should not extend beyond the heated portio

Other procedures may

16、be in use, but they have notbeen developed as ASTM standard test methods.5. Apparatus5.1 Heating Block, as shown at the lower right in Fig. 1,toprovide a controlled constant temperature for conducting tests.5.1.1 Test cells are maintained at constant elevated tempera-ture by means of a heated alumin

17、um block which surroundseach test cell.5.1.2 Holes in the aluminum block to accommodate the testcells shall provide 1.0 mm max clearance for 38-mm outsidediameter glass tubes. The glass test cells shall fit into the blockto a depth of 225 6 5 mm.NOTE 2The original test blocks were made with spaces f

18、or ten testcells. Blocks with different number of holes are acceptable if otherrequirements are met.5.1.3 The heating system shall be geometrically and ther-mally balanced. For thermal balance, sizes and locations of theheaters are proportioned against heat losses.5.1.4 The block is cylindrical and

19、constructed from forgedaluminum. The block has a minimum thickness of 38 mm ofinsulation on all sides, top and bottom. An insulation ofthermally efficient ceramic fiber material is suggested.5.1.5 The exterior jacket, sides and top are stainless steel orequivalent.5.1.6 The block is equipped with a

20、well for a thermocouplefor temperature control and measurement, and a thermometerwell for temperature calibration.5.2 Temperature Control System, as shown at lower left inFig. 1, to maintain the heating block at a set temperature.5.2.1 The temperature controller shall be capable of main-taining the

21、block temperature within 60.5C of the desired testtemperature for the duration of the test. The preferred control-ler shall have proportional and integral control modes, and aheater malfunction alarm.FIG. 1 Universal Oxidation Test ApparatusD48710625.2.2 The range for operation is from at least 50 t

22、o 375C.(WarningAn adjustable deviation alarm that automaticallyshuts down the system if temperature varies outside presetlimits is desirable as a safety feature and to avoid erroneous testresults. A separate adjustable high temperature monitor andshutoff is desirable as a safety device.)5.2.3 Temper

23、ature control and uniformity is the most im-portant parameter affecting test result precision. Therefore, theheating system design is critical. Temperature from hole-to-hole and at all sides of each hole in the block shall be uniformwithin the 0.5C tolerance of the total system.5.3 Gas Flow Control

24、System, as shown in Fig. 1, to provideair or other gases to each test cell.5.3.1 A gas flow controller is required for each test cell, toprovide air or other desired gases. (WarningIf reactive gasesare to be used in the test procedure, all fittings in the gascontrol system must be compatible with th

25、ese gases.)5.3.2 The standard gas flow range shall be from 1.5 to 13L/h. Flowmeters shall have a scale length sufficiently long topermit accurate reading and control to within 65 % of fullscale. Floats and tubes may be interchangeable for alternate gasflow ranges.5.3.3 The system shall have a pressu

26、re regulator to provideconstant inlet pressure and 10 flow indicators with individual,integral needle valves with regulating stems for flow adjust-ment.5.3.4 The total system accuracy shall meet or exceed thefollowing tolerances:5.3.4.1 Inlet pressure regulator within 0.34 kPa (0.05 psig)of setpoint

27、,5.3.4.2 Total flow control system reproducibility within 7 %of full scale, and5.3.4.3 Repeatability of measurement within 0.5 % of fullscale.5.4 Alternative DesignsThe equipment in 5.1-5.3 repre-sents a preferred configuration. Alternative apparatus designsfor sample heating, and for temperature an

28、d flow control shallbe acceptable providing they are shown to maintain tempera-ture and gas flow within the specified limits.5.5 Glassware (Note 3), is used to contain the test sample,deliver gas into the sample, and collect, carry off or returncondensable volatiles.NOTE 3Not all glassware is used i

29、n a single test procedure.5.5.1 Test Cell, borosilicate glass, standard wall; 38-mmoutside diameter, 300 6 5-mm length, with open end fittedwith a 34/45 standard-taper, ground-glass outer joint (Note 4).See Fig. 2.NOTE 4Initial lots of glassware were made with 45/50 standard-taper,ground-glass joint

30、s. These are also acceptable for test work; however, the34/45 joints are preferred.5.5.2 Condenser, Allihn-Type, borosilicate glass, 33065-mm jacket, 34/45 standard-taper ground-glass inner joint onlower end. Upper opening must admit gas delivery tube. SeeFig. 2.5.5.3 Gas Inlet Tube I, 8-mm outside

31、diameter, 850 6 5mmlong, lower end with fused capillary 1.5 to 3.5 mm insidediameter. The capillary bore shall be at 15 6 1 mm long. Thelower tip is cut at a 45 angle. The gas inlet tube mayoptionally include a glass ring 15 mm in diameter to supportwasher-type catalysts, or the support ring (see 5.

32、5.8), fromwhich catalyst specimens may be suspended. The position ofthe ring on the gas inlet tube shall be specified in the testmethod requiring such catalyst support. The gas inlet tube I isillustrated in Fig. 2 with a glass ring suitable for support ofwasher-type catalyst.5.5.3.1 The 850-mm tube

33、is required for testing configura-tions using the condenser and sampling head or the interme-diate head in order that the tube extend beyond the top of thecondenser so that a gas supply hose can be attached. A tube ofshorter length may be substituted when other assemblies areused, provided it is lon

34、g enough to attach the gas supply.5.5.4 Gas Inlet Tube II, 8-mm outside diameter 455 6 5mmlong, lower tip cut at 45 angle. The top 50 mm of the tube mayoptionally be bent at a 90 angle.

35、m port for samplewithdrawal, and exit tube to conduct off-gases and entrainedvapors. Overall length shall be 125 6 5 mm. The head shallhave an adapter by which an air-tight seal may be made withthe gas inlet tube.3The septum port is preferably designed toaccept a flat polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-

36、faced siliconeseptum such as used with gas chromatographic instrumenta-tion. See Fig. 3.5.5.6 Intermediate Head, with standard-taper inner joint atbottom for test cell and outer joint at top for condenser. Overalllength shall be 170 6 5 mm. The outlet for removal ofoff-gases and condensed liquids is

37、 located far enough belowthe gas-escape holes to ensure that condensed liquid will exitthrough the side tube rather than returning to the test cell. Aseptum port (same as in 5.5.5) is provided for sample with-drawal. See Fig. 3.5.5.7 Sampling Head, with standard-taper inner joint atbottom for test c

38、ell and outer joint at top for condenser. Overall3A Wheaton-type thermometer adapter is suitable, with an O-ring seal. Allwetted parts should be of poly-tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or similar inert material.FIG. 2 ApparatusD4871063length shall not exceed 175 mm. A septum port (same as in5.5.5) is pro

39、vided for sample withdrawal. See Fig. 3.5.5.8 Support Ring, 9.5-mm inside diameter, 12.7-mm out-side diameter, 7 mm long, to fit on inlet tube I fitted withhigh-mounted glass ring. Four glass hooks are spaced at 90intervals from which catalyst coupons may be suspended. SeeFig. 3.5.5.9 Spacer Ring, 9

40、.5-mm inside diameter, 12.7-mm out-side diameter, 7 mm long, to fit on inlet tube I fitted withlow-mounted glass ring. The spacer is added to separate metalwashers used as catalyst and corrosion test specimens. See Fig.3.6. Procedure6.1 Test Conditions:6.1.1 Stability tests can be run for a fixed ti
