1、Designation: D 1982 85 (Reapproved 2004)Standard Test Method forTiter of Fatty Acids1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 1982; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in
2、 parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the solidi-fication (titer) point of fatty acids and is applicable to all fattyacids.1.2 This stan
3、dard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, 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.

Significance and Use3.1 Saturated fatty acids solidify at a higher temperaturethan unsaturated fatty acids. This test method provides a meansof measuring the solidification temperature of a sample con-tain
5、ing both unsaturated and saturated fatty acids by coolingthe specimen and measuring the temperature at which solidi-fication occurs.3.2 Samples containing higher levels of saturated acids willhave a higher titer (solidification temperature) than those withlower levels of saturated acids.3.3 Water pr
6、esent in the sample will raise the titer, soprovisions are made in the test method to remove traces ofmoisture.4. Apparatus4.1 Beaker, Griffin low-form, 2-L capacity.4.2 Bottle, wide-mouth, 450-mL capacity, 190-mm height,inside diameter of neck 40 mm.4.3 Test Tubes, 100 mm in length, 25 mm in diamet
7、er, withor without rim. These tubes may have an etched markextending around the tube at a distance of 57 mm from thebottom to show the height to which the tube is to be filled.4.4 Stirrer, 2 to 3 mm in outside diameter, with one end bentin the form of a loop 20 mm in outside diameter. Glass orstainl
8、ess steel wire may be used. The upper end can be formedto accommodate hand stirring or to be attached to a mechanicalstirrer.4.5 Laboratory Thermometer, having a range from 0 to150C.4.6 Titer Test ThermometerAn ASTM Titer Test Ther-mometer having a range from 2 to + 68C and conforming tothe requirem
9、ents for Thermometer 36C as prescribed in Speci-fication E 1.NOTE 1Thermometers conforming to the requirements for the AOCSTiter Thermometer (AOCS Specification H 6-40) meet these require-ments.5. Procedure5.1 Heat the sample on a hot plate to 130C to remove tracesof moisture, and fill a test tube (
10、see 4.3) to a height of 57 mmfrom the bottom.5.1.1 Do not hold the sample at 130C nor reheat to thistemperature more than once. If excessive moisture is present,allow the water to settle, decant the fatty acids, and then refilterand reheat. The acids must be dry and free of suspended matter.5.2 Fill
11、 the water bath to the designated level (Fig. 1) andadjust the temperature to 15 to 20C below the expected titerpoint.5.3 Place the test tube containing the fatty acids in theassembly as shown in Fig. 1. Insert the titer thermometer to theimmersion mark so that it will be equidistant from the sides
12、ofthe tube.5.4 Stir with the stirring rod through a vertical distance ofabout 40 mm at the rate of 100 complete up-and-down motionsper minute (Note 2). Start the agitation while the temperatureis at least 10C above the titer point.NOTE 2Stirring may be performed mechanically by attaching a smallmoto
13、r with suitable speed-reducing mechanism to the stirring rod.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 on Paintand Related Coatings, Materials, and Applications and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D01.34 on Naval Stores.Current edition approved June 1, 2004.
