Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 methanol, nmethyl alcohol, the chemical compoundCH3OH.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 aliphatic etheran oxygen-containing, ashless, or-ganic compound in which the

17、oxygen atom is interposedbetween two carbon atoms (organic groups), has the generalformula CnH2n+2O with n being 5 to 8, and in which the carbonatoms are connected in open chains and not closed rings.3.2.1.1 DiscussionAliphatic compounds can be straight orbranched chains and saturated or unsaturated

18、. The term ali-phatic ether, as used in this specification, refers only to thesaturated compounds.3.2.2 fuel methanol (M70-M85)a blend of methanol andhydrocarbons of which the methanol portion is nominally 70 to85 volume %.3.2.3 higher alcoholsaliphatic alcohols of the generalformula CnH2 n+1OH with

19、 n being 2 to 8.3.2.4 hydrocarbonthose components in a methanol-hydrocarbon blend that contain only hydrogen and carbon.4. Fuel Methanol (M70-M85) Performance Requirements4.1 Fuel methanol (M70-M85) shall conform to the require-ments in Table 1.NOTE 1Most of the requirements cited in Table 1 are bas

20、ed on thebest technical information currently available regarding the performanceof these fuels in current technology vehicles. Requirements for sulfur,phosphorus, and lead are based on the use of gasoline defined inSpecification D 4814 understanding that control of these elements willaffect catalys

21、t lifetime. The lead maximum is limited for Class 1 and Class2 fuels to the lower limit of the test method. As greater experience isgained from field use of M70-M85 vehicles, and further vehicle hardwaredevelopments for the use of higher methanol content fuels occurs, it isexpected that many of thes

22、e requirements will change.4.1.1 Vapor pressure is varied for seasonal and climaticchanges by providing three vapor pressure classes for M70-M85. The seasonal and geographic distribution for the threevapor pressure classes is shown in Table 2. Class 1 encom-passes geographical areas with 6-h tenth-p

23、ercentile minimumambient temperature of greater than 5C (41F). Class 2encompasses geographical areas with 6-h tenth-percentileminimum temperatures of greater than 5C (23F) but lessthan +5C. Class 3 encompasses geographical areas with 6-htenth-percentile minimum ambient temperature less than orequal

24、to 5C.4.1.2 The hydrocarbons used shall have a final maximumboiling point of 225C (437F) byTest Method D86, oxidationstability of 240-min minimum by Test Method D 525, and No.1 maximum copper strip corrosion by Test Method D 130. Thehydrocarbons may contain aliphatic ethers as blending compo-nents a

25、s are customarily used for automotive fuel.4.1.3 Use of unprotected aluminum in fuel methanol (M70-M85) distribution and dispensing equipment will introduceinsoluble aluminum compounds into the fuel causing pluggedvehicle fuel filters. Furthermore, this effect can be exaggeratedeven with protected a

26、luminum by elevated fuel conductivitycaused by contact with a nitrile rubber dispensing hose.Therefore, unprotected aluminum and an unlined nitrile rubberdispensing hose should be avoided in fuel methanol (M70-M85) distribution and dispensing systems.55. Sampling, Containers, and Sample Handling5.1

27、The reader is strongly advised to review all intended testmethods prior to sampling to better understand the importanceand effects of sampling technique, proper containers, andspecial handling required for each test method.5.2 Correct sampling procedures are critical to obtain asample representative

28、 of the lot intended to be tested.

42、ainer selectionfor tests sensitive to trace contamination. Refer to PracticeD 5854 for procedures on container selection and samplemixing and handling. Where practical, M70M85 should besampled in glass containers. If samples must be collected inmetal containers, do not use soldered metal containers.

43、 This isbecause the soldering flux in the containers and the lead in thesolder can contaminate the sample. Plastic containers should beavoided.5.4 A minimum sample size of about 1 L (1 qt) is recom-mended.6. Test Methods6.1 Determine the requirements enumerated in this specifi-cation in accordance w

In addition, test methods containedin the annexes and appendixes are in the developmental stages or lackprecision and bias determinations.6.1.1 MethanolA procedure for a

45、test method for metha-nol content of fuel methanol (M70-M85) is included as AnnexA1.

Water may also be determined if thegas chromatograph is equipped with a thermal conductivitydetector.As an alternative, water can be determined by the KarlFischer test method (

47、see 6.1.9). The concentration of methanol,other alcohols, and water can be added, and the sum subtractedfrom 100 to get the percent of hydrocarbons/aliphatic ethers.An alternative test method is contained in Annex A2.6.1.3 Vapor Pressure Test Methods D 4953, D 5190, orD 5191.6.1.4 AcidityTest Method
