Sampling7.1 The fuel sample from which an aliquot is being drawnfor the purposes of this test method shall be representative ofthe lot of fuel. Obtain the sample

33、in accordance with theprocedures of Practices D4057 or D4177, and report (see11.1.1) how and from where it was obtained. The maximumsample size is dictated by the quantity that can be mixedthoroughly (see 9.2). If any undissolved water is visuallyapparent (as determined by Test Methods D4176 or D486

34、0,orboth), discard and replace with a fresh sample.7.2 After thoroughly mixing, if the original sample con-tainer is too large to easily handle, use an epoxy lined can ordark glass bottle as a transfer container to store an aliquot ofthe test sample. Prior to drawing the aliquot, rinse the transferc

35、ontainer three times with the product to be tested. Draw arepresentative 1 to 2-L aliquot from the sample container intoa transfer container. (WarningBecause the situations underwhich samples are taken vary from laboratory to laboratory andfrom situation to situation, no firm recommendation for sam-

36、pling can be given. It is the responsibility of the user of this testmethod to ensure the aliquot used in the test is representativeof the lot of fuel.)8. Preparation of Apparatus8.1 Locate the apparatus on a level surface in an area wherethe temperature is between 15 and 25C (59 and 77F).8.2 Open t

37、he case, and assemble the apparatus as shown inFig. 2. If the flexible, inert tubing (see 6.1.7) is not attached, asshown, carry out 8.2.1 to 8.2.2.8.2.1 Attach one end of the flexible, inert tubing to the fuelreservoir container (6.1.5) and insert the plastic in-line splicecoupler (6.1.8) into the

38、other end.8.2.2 Insert the plastic in-line coupler into another piece offlexible, inert tubing, thread the tubing in the peristaltic pump(see 6.1.1), as shown in Fig. 3, and clamp it in place by movingthe lever arm counterclockwise.NOTE 3The splice fitting prevents the tubing from being pulled intot

39、he pump during operation. This also allows easy replacement of theportion of the tubing that is depressed by the pump rollers. To extend thelife of the flexible, inert tubing, when not in use, leave the clamp open orremove the tubing from the pump.8.2.3 Insert one end of the horizontal section of th

40、e plastictee coupler (6.1.9) into the tubing that is clamped in the pump,and attach two other sections of tubing to the other parts of thetee.8.2.4 Connect the tubing that is connected to the perpen-dicular part of the tee to the pressure transducer.

Subsequently, perform a testusing a fuel sample without a filter, c

The amount displayed shall be approxi-mately 300 mL, and the amount collected shall be 285 to 315mL. Adjust the pump speed control (6.1.4), as required.8.5.1.1 If the proper flow rate cannot be attained

46、 by adjust-ing the pump speed control, perform the following operation:(1) Release the tubing in the peristaltic pump,(2) Using both hands, grasp each end of the tubing that isengaged by the pump rollers,(3) Hold and alternately pull on each end to stretch thetubing,(4) Clamp the tubing in place, an

47、d(5) Repeat 8.5.1.8.5.2 Check the pressure by inserting a pressure gauge (see6.3.2) at the end of the flexible, inert tubing where the filterwould be installed. Perform a test using air only, and comparethe readings when approximately 104 kPa (15 psig) is dis-played. If the readings vary more than 6

48、7 kPa (1.0 psig),return the apparatus to the manufacturer.9. Procedure9.1 Measure the temperature (see 6.3.3) of the fuel in thetransfer container (see 7.2) and, if necessary, adjust to 15 to25C.9.2 Shake the sample or transfer container (see 7.2) vigor-ously for approximately 2 min.9.3 Rinse the fu

Check that the temperature is still within the rangefrom 15 to 25C. Record the actual temperature. If anyundissolved water is visually apparent in the fuel at this time,as determined by Test Methods D4176 or D4860, or both, thetest shall be abandoned and the presence of water shall bereported.9.5 Place the end of the flexible, inert tubing with the plasticcoupler (see 6.1.10) into the collection container (see 6.1.6
