Summary of Test Method4.1 A known volume of fuel is filtered through a pre-weighed test membrane filter and the increase in membranefilter mass is weight determined after washing and drying. Thechange in weight of a cont
16、rol membrane located immediatelybelow the test membrane filter is also determined. The objec-tive of using a control membrane is to assess whether the fuelitself influences the weight of a membrane. The particulatecontaminant is determined from the increase in mass of the testmembrane relative to th
17、e control membrane filter.4.2 In order to ensure safety in handling, the test methodrequires that volatile fuels be transferred from the samplecontainer to the funnel without pouring. Fuels having a verifiedflash point greater than 38C (refer to Test Method D56or TestMethods D93or D 3828) may be tra
18、nsferred by pouring thesample from the sample container directly into the funnel.Bonding the sample container to the funnel is required.(WarningVolatile fuels such as JP-4 and Jet B or mixtureshaving flash points below 38C have been ignited by electro-static discharges when poured through membrane f
19、ilters.)4.3 Appendix X2 describes safety precautions to avoidstatic discharge in filtering fuel through membranes.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a gravimetric measurement ofthe particulate matter present in a sample of aviation turbinefuels delivered to a laboratory for evaluat
20、ion. The objective isto minimize these contaminants to avoid filter plugging andother operational problems. Although tolerable levels of par-ticulate contaminants have not yet been established for allpoints in fuel distribution systems, the total contaminantmeasurement is normally of most interest.6

Filteredflushing fluids are most conveniently obtained by means of thedispenser described in Fig. 1.8. Sampling8.1
38、All containers and their closures, sampling lines, andother equipment used in obtaining the sample for analysis mustbe thoroughly cleaned as described in Section 9. Containersused must conform to the criteria set forth in Practice D 4306.8.2 To obtain a representative sample from a fuel stream andto
39、 avoid external contamination, the sample may be drawnfrom the flushing line of a field sampling kit (see Test MethodD 2276). Ensure that the line is first flushed with the fuel to besampled and that the line is externally clean.8.3 Whether or not a sampling kit is available, suitableprecautions mus

42、ionis not used, a stainless steel ball or plug type valve should beselected as its internal design avoids the possibility of trappingor generating solid contaminant. Samples that are collected forgeneral laboratory or chemical analysis are not necessarilysuitable for this test method because insuffi
43、cient care may havebeen taken to avoid particulate contamination.8.4 Where possible a 3.8 to 5-L (1-gal) fuel sample shouldbe taken, preferably in the same container that will be used inthe test to avoid the need to transfer from one container toanother with increased possibility of contamination. R
44、esultsobtained by taking other sample volumes may have differentprecisions.8.5 The sample volume must be quoted with the results. Ifthe sample was transferred from one container to anotherbefore the test was performed, this must also be noted with thetest results.9. Preparation of Apparatus and Samp
45、le Containers9.1 Clean all components of the filtration apparatus, samplecontainers, and their closures as described in 9.1.1-9.1.7. Cleanpetri dishes as described in 9.1.2-9.1.7.9.1.1 Remove any labels, tags, and so forth.9.1.2 Wash with warm tap water containing detergent.9.1.3 Rinse thoroughly wi
46、th warm tap water.9.1.4 Rinse thoroughly with reagent water. Container capsshould be handled only externally with clean laboratorycrucible tongs during this and subsequent washing.9.1.5 Rinse thoroughly with filtered isopropyl alcohol.9.1.6 Rinse thoroughly with filtered flushing fluid.9.1.7 Keep a
47、clean piece of plastic film rinsed with filteredflushing fluid over the top of the sample container until theclosure is installed. Similarly protect the funnel opening of theassembled filtration apparatus with clean plastic film untilready for use.10. Preparation of Test and Control Membrane Filters
48、10.1 Two 47-mm membrane filters of nominal pore size0.8-m are required: a test and a control membrane filter.Matched-weight membrane filters may be used if so desired(see Note 1). If matched-weight membrane filters are used, it isunnecessary to carry out the procedures detailed in this sectionbecaus
49、e they had been carried out previously by the membranefilter supplier. The two membrane filters used for each indi-vidual test should be identified by marking the petri dishes usedas containers. Glassware used in preparation of membranefilters must be cleaned as described in 9.1.10.1.1 Using forceps, place the test and control membranefilters side by side in a clean petri dish. To facilitate handling,the membrane filters should rest on clean glass support rods inthe petri dish.10.1.2 Place the petri dish with its lid slightly ajar, in anoven at 90
