27、ment of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of sedimentin crude oils and fuel oils by extraction with toluene. Theprecision applies to a range of sediment levels from 0.01 to0.40 % mass, although higher levels may be determined.NOTE 1Precision on recycled oils and crank ca

Significance and Use4.1 A knowledge of the sediment content of crude oils andfuel oils is important both to the operation of refining and thebuying or selling of these commodities.5. Apparatus5.1 Usual laboratory apparatus and glassware, together withthe
34、following are required for this test method.5.1.1 Extraction ApparatusUse the apparatus illustratedin Figs. 1 and 2 and consisting of the elements described in5.1.1.1-5.1.1.3.5.1.1.1 Extraction FlaskUse a wide-neck (Erlenmeyer)flask of 1-L capacity, with a minimum external neck diameterof 50 mm, for
35、 the procedure.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Products and Lubricants and the API Committee on Petroleum Measure-ment, and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D02.02.0B /COMQ, the jointASTM-API Committee on Sampling, Sediment, Water.Current edi

38、p:/www.ansi.org.1*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standard.5.1.1.2 CondenserA condenser in the form of a metal coilapproximately 25 mm in diameter and 50 mm in lengthattached to, and with the ends projecting through, a lid ofsufficient diameter to cover the neck of the flask
39、as shown inFig. 1. The coil shall be made from stainless steel, tin,tin-plated copper, or tin-plated brass tubing having an outsidediameter of 5 to 8 mm and a wall thickness of 1.5 mm. Ifconstructed of tin-plated copper or brass, the tin coating shallhave a minimum thickness of 0.075 mm. The exposed
40、 surfaceof the coil for cooling purposes is about 115 cm2.NOTE 2The use of a water flowmeter/controller unit that monitorswater flow to the condenser that shuts off the heat source when the flowrate drops below a pre-set limit has been found suitable to preventvaporized toluene from igniting. The us
41、e of such a device is recom-mended.5.1.1.3 Extraction Thimble5The extraction thimble shallbe of a refractory porous material, pore size 20.0 to 30.0 m (ascertified by the manufacturer), 25 mm in diameter by 70 mm inheight, weighing not less than 15 g and not more than 17 g.Suspend the thimble from t
42、he condenser coil by means of abasket so that it hangs approximately midway between thesurface of the extracting solvent and the bottom of thecondenser coil.5.1.1.4 Thimble BasketThe thimble basket shall becorrosion-resistant and shall be made of platinum, stainlesssteel, nickel-chromium alloy, or s
43、imilar material. Fig. 2 showsthe design and dimensions of two typical baskets that havebeen used successfully in the industry.5.1.1.5 Water CupUse a water cup when testing a sampledetermined to have a water content greater than 10 % volume(see Fig. 1, Apparatus B). The cup shall be made of glass,con
44、ical in shape, approximately 20 mm in diameter and 25 mmdeep, and have a capacity of approximately 3 mL.Aglass hookfused on the rim at one side is so shaped that when hung on thecondenser the cup hangs with its rim reasonably level. In thisprocedure, suspend the thimble basket as shown in Fig. 1,App
45、aratus A by means of the corrosion-resistant wire loopedover the bottom of the condenser coil and attached to the basketsupports, or as in Fig. 1, Apparatus B, where the wire supportsof the basket are attached to hooks soldered to the underside ofthe condenser lid.5.1.1.6 Source of HeatUse a source
46、of heat, preferably ahot plate operated under a ventilated hood, suitable for vapor-izing toluene (WarningFlammable.)5.2 Analytical BalanceUse an analytical balance, with anaccuracy of 0.1 mg. Verify the balance, at least annually,against weights traceable to a national standards body such asthe Nat
47、ional Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).5.3 Non-aerating MixerUse a non-aerating mixer, meet-ing the verification of mixing efficiency requirements specifiedin Practice D 5854 (API Chapter 8.3). Either insertion mixers5The sole source of supply of the extraction thimble, AN 485, 25 3 70-m
