Scope*1.1 This test method specifies a rapid screening method using flow analysis by Fourier transform infrared (FA-FTIR)spectroscopy with partial least squares (PLS-1) processing for the determination of the fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) content ofaviation turbine fuel (AVTUR), in

4、 the range of 10 mgkg to 150 mgkg.NOTE 1Specifications falling within the scope of this test method are: Specification D1655 and Defence Standard 91-91.NOTE 2This test method detects all FAME components, with peak IR absorbance at approximately 1749 cm-1 and C8 to C22 molecules, as specifiedin stand

5、ards such as Specification D6751 and EN 14214. The accuracy of the method is based on the molecular weight of C16 to C18 FAME species; thepresence of other FAME species with different molecular weights could affect the accuracy.NOTE 3Additives such as antistatic agents, antioxidants and corrosion in

6、hibitors are measured with the FAME by the FTIR spectrometer. Howeverthe effects of these additives are removed by the flow analysis processing.NOTE 4FAME concentrations from 150 mg/kg to 500 mg/kg, and below 10 mg/kg can be measured but the precision could be affected.1.2 The values stated in SI un

Summary of Tes

22、t Method4.1 A test specimen of aviation turbine (AVTUR) fuel is automatically analyzed, by an FTIR spectrometer, in a 2 mm effectivepath length flow-through cell, before and after flowing through a cartridge containing a sorbent designed to have a relatively longresidence time for FAME. The spectros

23、copic absorbance differences of the IR spectra, between the measurements, are processedin conjunction with a PLS-1 model to determine the presence and amplitude of the carbonyl peak of FAME at approximately 1749cm-1. Test time is typically 20 min. The flow analysis by FTIR enables the effects of pot

24、ential interferences to be removed by usingtheir relative retardance times through the sorbent in conjunction with their absorbance at specific wavelengths.5.

25、 hashad the unintended side-effect of leading to potential FAME contamination of jet turbine fuel in multifuel transport facilities suchas cargo tankers and pipelines, and industry wide concerns.5.2 Analytical methods have been developed with the capability of measuring down to 5 % FAME.NOTE 5New sa

26、mple containers are strongly recommended due to concerns over the difficulty in removing all traces of FAME retained from previoussamples.8.2.2 Rinse all sample containers with heptane (7.1) or another suitable solvent and drain. Then rinse with the product to besampled at least three times. Each ri

27、nse shall use product with a volume of 10 % to 20 % of the container volume. Each rinse shallinclude closing and shaking the container for a minimum of 5 s and then draining the product.9.

29、he verification and calibration of the instrument are in accordance with Section 10.9.5 Gently swirl the sample for homogeneity before drawing the test specimen.9.6 Determine the density of the sample using the density measuring device (6.4) if the density is not known.9.7 Use a new test specimen co
