3、 test method covers a procedure for determinationof the smoke point of kerosine and aviation turbine fuel.NOTE 1There is good correlation between Luminometer number(Test Method D 1740) and smoke point which is represented in AppendixX1.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety c
4、oncerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

9、rest 0.5 mm.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides an indication of the relativesmoke producing properties of kerosines and aviation turbinefuels in a diffusion flame. The smoke point is related to thehydrocarbon type composition of such fuels. Generally themore aromatic the fuel the s
10、mokier the flame. A high smokepoint indicates a fuel of low smoke producing tendency.5.2 The smoke point (and Luminometer number with whichit can be correlated) is quantitatively related to the potentialradiant heat transfer from the combustion products of the fuel.Because radiant heat transfer exer
11、ts a strong influence on themetal temperature of combustor liners and other hot sectionparts of gas turbines, the smoke point provides a basis forcorrelation of fuel characteristics with the life of these com-ponents.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Produ

Sampling and Preparation of Samples8.1 It is recommended samples shall be taken by theprocedures described in Practi
19、ce D 4057. Use the sample asreceived. Allow all samples to come to ambient temperature(20 6 5C), without artificial heating. If the sample is hazy orappears to contain foreign material, filter through qualitativefilter paper.9. Preparation of Apparatus9.1 Place the lamp in a vertical position in a r
20、oom where itcan be completely protected from drafts. Carefully inspect eachnew lamp to ensure that the air holes in the gallery and the airinlets to the candle holder are all clean, unrestricted and ofproper size. The gallery shall be so located that the air holes arecompletely unobstructed.NOTE 3Sl
21、ight variations in these items all have a marked effect on theprecision of the result obtained.9.1.1 If the room is not completely draft-free, place the lampin a vertical position in a box constructed of heat-resistantmaterial (not containing asbestos), open at the front. The top ofthe box shall be
22、at least 150 mm above the top of the chimneyand the inside of the box painted dull black.9.2 Extract all wicks, either new or from a previous deter-mination, for at least 25 cycles in an extractor, using a mixtureof equal volumes of toluene and anhydrous methanol. Allowthe wicks to dry partially in
23、a hood before placing in the oven,or use a forced-draft and explosion-proof oven for dryingwicks, or both. Dry for 30 min at 100 to 110C and store in adessicator until used.9.2.1 Extracted wicks are commercially available and maybe used, provided that they have been certified as beingextracted by th
24、e procedure outlined in 9.2. Store purchasedextracted wicks in a desiccator over desiccant until use. Afteruse, extract these wicks as in 9.2 before using again.10. Calibration of Apparatus10.1 Calibrate the apparatus in accordance with 10.2. Reca-librate at regular intervals of not more than seven
25、days or whenthere has been a change in the apparatus or operator, or whena change of more than 0.7 kPa occurs in the barometricpressure reading.FIG. 1 Smoke Point LampTABLE 1 Reference Fuel BlendsStandard Smoke Point at101.3 kPaToluene 2,2,4-trimethylpentanemm %(v/v) % (v/v)14.7 40 6020.2 25 7522.7

If this is not possible, use the two test blends havingt
27、heir smoke points nearest to the smoke point of the sample.10.2.1 Determine the correction factor f for the apparatusfrom the equation;f 5As/ Ad! 1 Bs/ Bd!2(1)where:As= the standard smoke point of the first reference fuelblend;Ad= the smoke point determined for the first reference fuelblend;Bs= the
28、standard smoke point of the second reference fuelblend;Bd= the smoke point determined for the second referencefuel blend.If the smoke point determined for the test fuel exactlymatches the smoke point determined for a reference fuel blend,use as the second bracketing reference fuel the reference fuel
29、blend with the next higher smoke point, if there is one.Otherwise, use the one with the next closest smoke point.10.3 An alternative approach to confirm calibration of theapparatus is for each operator to run a control sample each daythe apparatus is in use. Record the results and compare theaverage
30、 from the data base of the control sample using controlcharts or equivalent statistical techniques. If the differenceexceeds the control limits or when new apparatus is used, thenthe apparatus must be recalibrated.11. Procedure11.1 Soak a piece of extracted and dried wick, not less than125 mm long,
31、in the sample and place it in the wick tube of thecandle. Carefully ease out any twists arising from this opera-tion. In cases of dispute, or of referee tests, always use a newwick, prepared in the manner specified in 9.2.NOTE 4It is advisable to resoak the burning-end of the wick in thesample after
32、 the wick is inserted in the wick tube.11.2 Introduce as near to 20 mL of the prepared sample asavailable, but not less than 10 mL, at room temperature, intothe clean, dry candle.11.3 Place the wick tube in the candle and screw home.Takecare that the candle air vent is free from fuel. If a wick-trim
33、merassembly is not being used, cut the wick horizontally and trimit free of frayed ends so that 6 mm projects from the end of thecandle. Use a clean razor blade or other sharp instrument.(Some razor blades have a protective coating; in such cases,remove the coating with a solvent before using the bl
34、ade).Insert the candle into the lamp.11.3.1 An alternative method of preparing a wick free oftwists and frayed ends utilizes a wick-trimmer assembly. Thewick-trimmer holder is inserted over the top of the wick tubeand the long-nosed triceps are inserted through the tube andholder. The wick is graspe
35、d and carefully pulled through thetube without twisting. A new, clean, sharp razor is used to cutthe wick at the face of the holder and remove wisps and frayedends. When the holder is removed, the wick will be at thecorrect height in the tube. The tube is then inserted into thecandle and screwed hom
36、e. The candle is inserted into the lamp.11.4 Light the candle and adjust the wick so that the flameis approximately 10 mm high and allow the lamp to burn for 5min. Raise the candle until a smoky tail appears, then lower thecandle slowly through the following stages of flame appear-ance:11.4.1 A long
37、 tip; smoke slightly visible; erratic and jumpyflame.11.4.2 An elongated, pointed tip with the sides of the tipappearing concave upward as shown in Fig. 2 (Flame A).11.4.3 The pointed tip just disappears, leaving a veryslightly blunted flame as shown in Fig. 2 (Flame B). Jagged,erratic, luminous fla
38、mes are sometimes observed near the trueflame tip; these shall be disregarded.11.4.4 A well rounded tip as shown in Fig. 2 (Flame C).Determine the height of Flame B to the nearest 0.5 mm. Recordthe height observed.11.4.4.1 To eliminate errors due to parallax, the eye of theobserver shall be slightly
39、 to one side of the centreline, so thata reflected image of the flame is seen on the scale on one sideof the central vertical white line, and the flame itself is seenagainst the other side of the scale. The reading for bothobservations shall be identical.11.5 Make three separate observations of the
40、flame height atthe smoke point by repeating the flame-appearance sequenceFIG. 2 Typical Flame AppearancesD1322083specified in 11.4. If these values vary over a range greater than1.0 mm, repeat the test with a fresh sample and another wick.11.6 Remove the candle from the lamp, rinse with heptane,and
41、purge with air to make ready for re-use.12. Calculation12.1 Calculate the smoke point, to the nearest 0.1 mm, fromthe equation:smoke point 5 L 3 f (2)where:L = the average, rounded to the nearest 0.1 mm, of threeindividual readings, andf = the correction factor (see 10.2), rounded to the nearest0.01
42、.12.2 Record the result thus obtained, rounded to the nearest0.5 mm, as the smoke point of the sample.13. Precision and Bias613.1 Repeatability, rThe difference between successivetest results obtained by the same operator with the sameapparatus under constant operating conditions on identicalmateria

Six reference fuel blends and ten JetAand JetB fu
45、els were tested covering a range of smoke points from 15 to 45 mm.13.3 BiasThe procedure in Test Method D 1322 for mea-suring the smoke point of kerosines and aviation turbine fuelshas no bias because the value of the smoke point can only bedefined in terms of a test method.14.
