Afterstirring to mix, 75 mL of Fuel C is added and reagent alcoholis added to reach the 500 mL volume mark on the flask. Thesolutions are stirred until mixed adequately.10. Preparation of Apparatus10.1 Heat the water
38、 bath to a temperature of 37 to 39C (98to 102F).11. Preparation of Corrosion Test Rod11.1 It is very important that clean, oil-free gloves are used,or similar precautions are taken, to avoid contamination of thetest rod and abrasive cloth with fingerprints or other oils.11.2 For new test rods, thoro
39、ughly clean the surfacessequentially with acetone, toluene and isooctane to remove oilsand other contamination before sanding the surface.11.3 Mount the test rod in the chuck of the grinding andsanding apparatus.11.4 Rotate the test rod at a speed of 17001800 r/min whilesanding the surface with a st
40、rip of the abrasive cloth.11.4.1 Preliminary SandingHold the 100-grit abrasivecloth strip perpendicular to the long-axis of the test rod so thatcircular grooves are formed all along the length of the rod.Move the cloth along the axis of the test rod. All rust andirregularities must be removed.11.4.2
41、 Surface MarkingRub a new piece of abrasive clothlongitudinally over the static test rod until the entire surfaceshows visible scratches.11.4.3 Final SandingUsing a new piece of abrasive cloth,hold the 100-grit abrasive cloth strip perpendicular to thelong-axis of the test rod so that circular groov
42、es are formed allalong the length of the rod. Move the cloth along the axis untilall visible surface scratches from 11.4.2 have been removed.11.5 Using a clean cloth or wipe, remove the test-rod fromthe chuck. Do not tough the surfaces with fingers.11.6 Attach the PTFE rod holder.11.7 Wipe the rod w
43、ith a clean, lintless cloth or tissue.11.8 Rinse the rod with acetone.11.9 Store cleaned and sanded test rods in isooctane untiluse. Time between sanding and use should not exceed 1 h whenstored in isooctane and should not exceed 5 min when notstored in isooctane.12. Procedure12.1 Prepare the corros
44、ion test-rod and test apparatus inaccordance with Sections 10 and 11.12.2 Transfer the test sample or standard into the test jarusing a graduated cylinder.12.2.1 Use 300 mL of test sample or standard for the largesample volume apparatus specified in Test Method D665.12.2.2 Use 30 75 mL of test sampl
45、e or standard for thesmall sample volume apparatus specified in 6.2.12.3 Place the stir bar or other stirring tool into the test jarand cover with the jar cover.12.4 It is very important that clean, oil-free gloves are used,or similar precautions are taken, to avoid contamination of thetest rod with
46、 fingerprints or other oils.12.5 Insert the previously polished corrosion test rod withits holder down into the jar cover until at least half of the rodis immersed in the test sample or standard. The test rod shallnot touch the bottom of the jar.12.5.1 Do not let the clean test rod rub against the j
47、ar coverif a plastic cover is used. Transfer of material to the test rod canaffect test results.12.6 Insert the thermometer (6.6) into the jar cover until thetip is immersed in the test sample or standard.12.7 Place the test-jar assembly containing the stirring tool,test sample or standard, test rod
48、 and thermometer (if used) intothe pre-heated heating bath.12.8 Start stirring the sample or standard at a rate sufficientto uniformly heat the solution.12.9 When the sample or standard temperature reaches 37 to39C (98 to 102F), inject water into the test sample orstandard using a syringe.NOTE 2The
49、addition of the water does not cause phase separation;because of the ethanol matrix of the test fuels covered in this scope of thismethod, the water is completely soluble in the test samples.12.9.1 Aratio of ten parts test sample or standard to one partwater shall be used. For example, 75 mL of test sample orstandard is placed into a 150 mL test jar and 7.5 mL of wateris added.12.9.2 No more than 10 min shall pass between heating thesample or standard to temperature and adding the water.12.10 Set the stirring rate to 900 6 100 r/min.12
