Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONInvert emulsion hydraulic fluids typically contain 60 % mi
3、neral oil and 40 % water (by volume).These fluids routinely are prepared using proprietary, oil-soluble, emulsifying agents, as well as otheremulsifiable constituents. They are recommended for use where conditions indicate a low-cost, fireretardant product, compatible with water-based metal working
4、fluids.The high water content of these hydraulic fluids makes them susceptible to microbial attack.Uncontrolled microbial growth in these fluids can cause cartridge filter unit plugging, maladorousconditions, or general biodeterioration. Problem microorganisms associated with these fluids includebac
5、teria and fungi.The hydraulic system is essentially a closed one in which water of evaporation is added to maintaina fixed volume. The inclusion of an efficacious preservative in the water containing hydraulic fluidscan prevent microbial growth and the resulting problems that follow.1. Scope*1.1 Thi

14、o theformulated system, or (c) by other methods suitable for the testcompound.4.2 A heavy bacterial or fungal inoculum, or both, is thenadded.4.3 The resulting mixture is aerated and passed over thesurface of a simulated filter system for a minimum period ofeight weeks either continuously or with sh
15、utdowns to simulateactual operations conditions.4.4 The degree of microbial control is determined byperiodically quantifying the bioburden in the emulsion bydirect microscopic count (Test Method D4454), plate count(Practice D5465), or other appropriate method (Guide E1326)and visual observations for

It is also required that good laboratorypractices be followed throughout these tests. This means appropriatecontainment for the microbiological systems being eval
