Summary of Practice4.1 A speci

14、fic measured volume of denatured fuel ethanol isblended with a gasoline blendstock to achieve a final blend ofa predetermined percentage of denatured fuel ethanol. Theblend shall be prepared with all components and apparatuschilled. The total volume of the blend prepared is dependentupon the volume

15、needed to complete required testing.5. Significance and Use5.1 Typically, denatured fuel ethanol is added to gasolineblendstocks after production. For laboratories to test a samplethat is similar to the finished fuel available in the market, it isimportant to provide a laboratory practice that stand

16、ardizes thepreparation of a blend of denatured fuel ethanol and gasolineblendstock.5.2 The laboratory blend shall be prepared volumetrically toyield a fuel similar to that produced for consumer use.5.3 When applicable, blends shall meet requirements ofCFR 40.80, Subpart DReformulated Gasoline.6. App

17、aratus6.1 Class A glassware is recommended.6.2 Container used to mix blend shall have an appropriateclosure so as to prevent loss of light ends.7. Procedure7.1 Chill apparatus (see Note 1), samples, denatured fuelethanol, to be used in blending to 0 to 4C.NOTE 1Glassware should be sealed to reduce c

18、ondensation fromforming when chilled.NOTE 2Sample or denatured fuel ethanol temperature may be verifiedby direct temperature measurement of a similar liquid in a similarcontainer placed in the cooling bath or refrigerator at the same time.Alternatively, a laboratory may conduct a temperature-monitor

19、ing study todetermine the minimum length of time needed to achieve the temperaturerequirements stated in 7.1, based upon the laboratorys specific operationfor cooling.7.2 Denatured fuel ethanol used shall meet the requirementsof Specification D4806. When available, the denatured fuelethanol to be us

20、ed in the blend should be the same as that to beused in production.7.3 Determine the ethanol percentage required for the finalblend that is needed to meet specification or other require-ments, for example, a blend containing 10% by volume ofdenatured fuel ethanol.7.4 Determine the total volume of th

21、e final blend needed tocomplete all necessary testing.7.5 Use Eq 1 to calculate the volume of the denatured fuelethanol to be used in the blend.7.6 When not using a volumetric flask, use Eq 2 to calculatethe volume of the gasoline blendstock to be used in the blend.7.7 Perform the following actions

22、as efficiently as possibleto minimize vapor loss and temperature increase.7.8 Depending on the volume of denatured ethanol neededas determined by Eq 1, measure the volume using the appro-priate pipet, graduated cylinder, or other suitable volumetricmeasuring device.7.9 When using a volumetric flask,

23、 add measured denaturedethanol to the volumetric flask and bring up to volume withgasoline blendstock.7.10 When not using a volumetric flask and depending onthe volume of the gasoline blendstock needed as determined byEq 2, measure the volume using the appropriate pipet, gradu-ated cylinder, or othe

24、r suitable volumetric measuring device.7.10.1 Pour a measured volume of denatured ethanol and ameasured volume of gasoline blendstock into a container ofsuitable size to accommodate the total volume determined in7.4. Funnels may be used to limit sample loss during transferto the final container.7.11

25、 Thoroughly mix the blend. Do not shake vigorously asto do so can negatively impact vapor pressure.7.11.1 The blend may be split into smaller aliquots, ifnecessary.7.11.2 The volume percentage of ethanol in the final blendmay be verified if desired by Test Method D5599 or by TestMethod D4815.8. Calc
