Significance and Use4.1 Crude petroleum contains sulfur compounds, most ofwhich are removed during refining. However, of the su
16、lfurcompounds remaining in the petroleum product, some can havea corroding action on various metals and this corrosivity is notrelated to the total sulfur content. In addition, fuels can becomecontaminated by corrosive sulfur compounds during storageand distribution. The corrosive effect can vary ac
17、cording to thechemical types of sulfur compounds present.4.2 The silver strip corrosion test is designed to assess therelative degree of corrosivity of a petroleum product towardssilver and silver alloys.4.3 Reactive sulfur compounds present in automotive spark-ignition engine fuels under some circu
18、mstances can corrode ortarnish silver alloy fuel gauge in-tank sender units (andsilver-plated bearings in some 2-stroke cycle engines). Tominimize or prevent the failure of silver alloy in-tank senderunits by corrosion or tarnish, Specification D4814 requires thatfuels shall pass the silver strip co

See Table 1.5.11.1 Keep the plastic-encased ASTM Silver Strip Corro-sion Standards protected from light to avoid the possibility offading. Inspect for fading by comparing two different plaques,one of which has been carefully protected fr
37、om light (forexample, new plaque). Observe both sets in diffused daylight(or equivalent) first from a point directly above and then froman angle of 45. If any evidence of fading is observed,particularly at the left-hand end of the plaque, it is suggestedthat the one that is the more faded with respe

At intervals remove the opaque strip and observe.When there is any evidence of fading
39、 of the exposed portion,the standards shall be replaced.5.11.2 The plaques are full-color reproductions of typicalstrips. They have been printed on aluminum sheets by a 4-colorprocess and are encased in plastic for protection. Directions fortheir use are given on the reverse side of each plaque.5.11

46、om heat, sparks, and open flame.Avoid prolonged or repeatedskin contact. Consult MSDS for additional information.8. Samples8.1 In accordance with Practice D4057 or D4177, or both, itis particularly important that all types of fuel samples becollected in clean, amber glass bottles, plastic bottles, o
47、r othersuitable containers that will not affect the corrosive propertiesof the fuel. Avoid the use of tin plate containers for collectionof samples, since experience has shown that they may contrib-ute to the corrosiveness of the sample.8.2 Collect samples and close the container immediatelyafter ta
48、king the sample. Adequate headspace in the container isnecessary to provide room for possible thermal expansionduring transport. It is recommended that volatile samples befilled between 70 and 80 % of the containers capacity. Takecare during sampling to protect the samples from exposure todirect sun
49、light or even diffused daylight.8.3 Test the sample as soon as practical after sampling. Ifsamples are not to tested immediately, store in a refrigerator ata temperature below 5C.8.4 If suspended water (that is, haze) is observed in thesample, dry by filtering a sufficient volume of sample throughmedium rapid qualitative filter paper, into the prescribed clean,dry test tube. Carry out this operation in a darkened room orunder a light-protected shield.8.4.1 Contact of the silver strip with water before, during orafter completion of the test run will
