1、Designation: D4898 90 (Reapproved 2010)Standard Test Method forInsoluble Contamination of Hydraulic Fluids by GravimetricAnalysis1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4898; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revi
2、sion, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method co
3、vers the determination of insolublecontamination in hydraulic fluids by gravimetric analyses. Thecontamination determined includes both particulate and gel-like matter, organic and inorganic, which is retained on amembrane filter disk of pore diameter as required by applicablespecifications (usually
4、 0.45 m or 0.80 m).1.2 To indicate the nature and distribution of the particulatecontamination, the gravimetric method should be supple-mented by occasional particle counts of typical samples inaccordance with Test Method F312.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other
5、 units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 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-bility of

Summary of Test Method3.1 The insoluble contamination is determined by pass
9、ing agiven quantity of a fluid sample through a membrane filter diskand measuring the resultant increase in the weight of the filter.The fluid sample is drawn through the filter by a vacuum andthe insoluble contamination is collected on the surface of thefilter. In addition, the filter disk is micro

Significance and Use4.1 This test method indicates and measures the amount ofinsoluble contamination of hydraulic fluids. Minimizing thelevels of insoluble contamination of hydraulic fluids is essen-tial for th
11、e satisfactory performance and long life of theequipment. Insoluble contamination can not only plug filtersbut can damage functional system components resulting inwear and eventual system failure.5.

Larger or smaller samples may be used, however, tomeet problems of unusually high or low contamination levels.NOTE 1Methods for obtaining the fluid samples are not specified inthis method. These methods should be established by
24、the individualagencies or laboratories in accordance with their requirements. However,extreme care should be taken to ensure that the samples are representativeand free of external contamination.7.2 The following ASTM sampling test methods should beused when applicable: Practices F302 and F303.8.

26、3 Rinse twice with filtered isopropyl alcohol (deliveredthrough a filtered liquid dispenser).8.1.4 Rinse twice with filtered commercial hexane (deliv-ered through filtered liquid dispenser).8.1.5 Leave approximately 1 mL of commercial hexane inthe bottom of each sample bottle.

Allow the filters to stabilize to equilibrium withambient room conditions. Record room temperature and rela-tive h
28、umidity.9.2 Take precautions to minimize apparatus contaminationfrom airborne dust. Use a protective hood or cover.NOTE 2One of the filters mentioned in 9.1 is for a blank determina-tion, which is necessary to provide a correction factor for adsorption ofhydraulic fluid by the filter, desorption of
29、filter constituents by the solvent,and variations of moisture content of the filter. This blank should bedetermined for each sample of a given composition and history. In a seriesof samples of similar fluids with similar history, the blank need bedetermined only once. However, with any change of sam
30、ple volume, anew blank should be determined as the relationship of blank correction tosample volume cannot be extrapolated.9.3 Using forceps, weigh each filter on a microbalance tothe nearest 0.005 mg.9.4 Place the filters, one above the other, in the filtrationapparatus. Ground the clamp to reduce
31、static buildup duringfiltration.9.5 Shake the sample container for approximately 1 min.9.6 Measure the desired sample volume with a graduatedcylinder and pour into the filter funnel, or pour the requiredvolume directly into a calibrated filter funnel. Apply a vacuumand filter the entire sample.9.7 U

The outside of thefilter unit should also be washed at the joint between the
33、filterholder and filter base to remove fluid between the holder andthe filter disk. Repeat the washing twice so that a total ofapproximately 100 mL of commercial hexane or Refrigerant113 is used for the washing process.9.8 With the vacuum still applied, remove the funnel, takingcare not to disturb t
34、he filter. With a fine steady stream, washany residual hydraulic fluid from the periphery of the filter withfiltered commercial hexane. The washing action should be4May be obtained from any source approved by U.S. Nuclear RegulatoryCommission.D4898 90 (2010)2towards the center with care taken not to
35、 disturb the depositedcontaminates on the filter surface. Continue washing until thetotal volume of filtered hexane equals 250 to 300 mL.9.9 Dry the filters with aspirator action and release thevacuum.9.10 Using forceps, remove the filters and place in a coveredpetri dish. Place the petri dish in an
36、 80C oven for 15 min.Other drying methods such as 5 min of continuous aspiratoraction or vacuum dessication may be substituted for theoven-drying method if such substituted method proves superiorto the oven method in achieving a constant weight uponcontinued drying.

Record theroom temperature and relative humidity. When these valuesdiffer from ambient conditions recorded as described in 9.1,results will be invalid

Remove static electricity by placing each mem-brane on the air ionizer for several seconds.9.12 Weigh each filter to the nearest 0.005 mg.9.13 Inspect the same filter (upper membrane) under amicroscope at approximately 353. The presence of large
39、 orunusual particles or fibers shall be sufficient cause for request-ing another sampling and analysis even though the allowablecontamination weight is not exceeded.9.14 For further examination of the filter, reference may bemade to Test Method F314.(WarningFlammable.

Calculations10.1 Calculate the weight of the contaminant as follows:10.1.1 Subtract the initial weight (9.3) from the final weight(9.12) of the test filter (upper membrane) and of the blank filter(lower membrane).10.1.2 Subtract the weight c
41、hange of the blank from theweight change of the test filter.10.1.3 The contamination weight is expressed asmilligrams/100 mL of fluid sample retained on the specifiedpore diameter membrane filter.11. Precision and Bias11.1 Precision:11.1.1 RepeatabilityDuplicate results by the same opera-tor should
42、be considered suspect if they differ by more than3.6 % of the weight of contamination per 100 mL of thesample.11.1.2 ReproducibilityAvailable data do not justify anystatement.11.2 BiasSince there is no accepted reference materialsuitable for determining the bias for the procedure for measur-ing inso
