3、of the ability of petroleum oils or synthetic uids to separate from water.Although developed specically for steam-turbine oils having viscosities of 28.890 mm 2 /s at 40C, this test method may be used to test oils of other types having various viscosities and synthetic uids at other test temperature

Summary of Test Method 3.1 A test specimen consisting of a 40-mL sample and a 40-mL quantity of distilled water, or 1% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution or synthetic seawater are stirred for 5 min in a graduated cylinder at 54C
10、 or 82C, depending upon the viscosity of the test specimen or sample specication. The time required for the separation of the emulsion thus formed is recorded either after every 5 min or at the specication time limit.

The cylinder shall be secured in a position so that the longitudinal axis of the paddle corresponds to the vertical center line of the cylinder during the stirring operation. It is recommended that the bath be constructed wi

Procedure 9.1 Heat the bath liquid to 546 1C, 826 1C or specied test temperature and maintain it at that temperature throughout the test.Add reagent water to the graduated cylinder to reach the 40-mL mark when at test temperature. Typically 39.
34、5 mL of water at room temperature will expand to the 40-mLmark once the cylinder is placed in the bath at 54C; 39 mLif heating the sample to 82C. Invert the sample several times in the original container. Do not pour, shake, or stir samples to any greater extent than necessary to prevent air entrain
35、ment. Pour the oil (or uid) under test into the same cylinder until the top level of the oil reaches the 80-mL mark on the cylinder when at test temperature. 9.2 If initial volumetric measurements are made at room temperature, expansion occurring at the elevated test temperature will have to be cons
36、idered. For example, there will be a total volumetric expansion of about 2 to 3 mL at 82C. Corrections to each volume reading at 82C, therefore, should be made so that the total of the volume readings made for oils (or uid), water, and emulsion does not exceed 80 mL. An alternative procedure which w
37、ould avoid the corrections is to make the initial volumetric measurements at the test temperature. 9.3 A1%sodiumchloride(NaCl)solutionorsyntheticseawater,asdescribedinPractice D1141orTestMethod D665,maybe used in place of distilled water when testing certain oils or fuels used in marine applications
38、. 9.4 Secure the cylinder in place directly under the stirring paddle. Lower the paddle into the cylinder until the stop engages at the required depth. Start the stirrer and a stop watch simultaneously and adjust the stirrer, as required, to a speed of 1500 6 15 rpm.At the end of 5 min, stop the sti
39、rrer and raise the stirring assembly until it is just clear of the graduate.Wipe the paddle with a spatula or wiper, allowing the liquid thus removed to drop back into the cylinder.At 5-min intervals, or at the specication time limit identied for the product being tested, depending on the type of he
40、ating bath utilized, lift the cylinder out of the bath or inspect the sample through the glass panel of the heating bath, and record the volumes of the oil (or uid), water, and emulsion layers.Ifnecessary,additionallighting,suchasabacklightoranindooroodlight,maybeusedtoaidtheanalystintheinspection o

While the rst sample is being observed, additional samples may be stirred.At no time during a sample inspection shall an additional sample be added to the heating bath. 10. Report 10.1 Record Measuremen
42、ts at 5min Intervals IntervalsReport the following information: (1)Type of water used. (2)Test temperature. (3)Time, in minutes, to reach 3 mL or less of emulsion. (4)Time, in minutes, to reach 37 mL of water. (5)Time, in minutes, to reach a complete break of 0 mL emulsion, 40 mL of oil, and 40 mL o
43、f water. 10.1.1 In addition to reporting the time, report the volume of each layer in millilitres. In all cases, report results as follows: mLoil2mLwater2mLemulsiontime,min! (1) The test may be aborted after 30 min when testing at 54C and 60 min at 82C. 10.1.2 When the test method is performed to de
44、termine if the sample meets a specication, report the test temperature. Report the time when either: (1)The product passes the product separability requirements against which it is being tested, or (2)The test limit for water separability is exceeded (usually 3mLemulsion or less for 30 min at 54C an
45、d 60 min at 82C). In addition to reporting the time, report the volume of each layer in millilitres. In both cases, report results as follows: mLoil2mLwater2mLemulsiontime,min! (2) 10.1.3 Some samples may produce a hazy oil layer without an emulsion layer. In situations where the water layer is 37mL
46、, report the upper layer as the oil layer. If there are two layers, and the water layer is 43 mL, report the upper layer as the emulsion layer. 10.2 For uniformity, test results may be reported in the manner shown in the examples provided in 10.1.
