1、Designation: D 483 04An American National StandardStandard Test Method forUnsulfonated Residue of Petroleum Plant Spray Oils1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 483; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision,
2、 the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of unsul-fonated residue in plant spray oils of petroleum ori
3、gin andapplies only to the petroleum oil content. It provides a measureof the degree of refinement of plant spray oils by determiningthe extent to which the oil is attacked by 98.61 % sulfuric acidunder closely standardized conditions. Since the relationshipbetween unsulfonated residue and the actua
4、l composition of theoil is not known, this test method should be applied only formeasuring the degree of refinement and not for the determina-tion of aromatics or olefins, or both.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of
5、 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.

8、4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A measured volume of sample is shaken with 98.61 %sulfuric acid at 100C in a Babcock bottle, shaking mechani-cally for 10 s at 10-min intervals. The volume not absorbed bythe acid is a measure of the unsulfonated residue in the sample.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test
9、 method is useful for distinguishing betweenoils that are adaptable to various types of spraying application,with a higher unsulfonated oil being required for leaf sprayingas compared to dormant vegetation application.6.

Reference Spray Oil48.1 Test results for unsulfonated residue are highly depen-dent upon rate of shaking. A reference spray oil has beencalibrated for unsulfonated residue by a group of coope
20、ratinglaboratories using both machine and hand shaking. Instructionsare given in Section 8 for using this reference oil as a guide toensure that the rate of shaking is correct.9. Calibration9.1 Machine Shaking RateA rate of 425 cycles/min wasused in the cooperative work to establish the unsulfonated
21、residue of the reference spray oil. There are small variations inseverity of shaking between individual machines, even whenthey are newly built and of the same make; and thesedifferences can increase with use. Consequently, each labora-tory shall run occasional tests on the reference spray oil. If a
22、nunsulfonated residue is found which differs by more than60.4 % from the established value, the rate of shaking shall beadjusted accordingly. A faster rate tends to give a lowerunsulfonated residue, and vice versa.9.2 Hand Shaking RateEach operator shall standardizehis technique of shaking so as to
23、obtain the established value(within 6 0.4 %) on the reference spray oil. A rate of 300cycles/min was used in the manual shaking tests in thecooperative program on the reference oil; however, an indi-vidual operators calibrated rate can differ appreciably from300 cycles/min.10. Sampling10.1 Obtain a
24、sample for this test method using PracticesD 4057 or D 4177.11. Procedure11.1 Adjust the temperature of the boiling water bath to 99.5to 100C and keep it in this temperature range throughout thetest. Adjust the shaker rate and check it before and after eachtest to make sure that the rate does not de
25、viate more than 610cycles/min from the rate established by calibration.(WarningWhen hand shaking, protect the face with a safetymask and point the Babcock bottle away from other personnel.Protect hands by wearing suitable safety gloves.)NOTE 1If hand shaking is used, shake the sulfonation flask bygr
26、asping the neck between the thumb and index finger and swinging theflask through an arc of approximately 20 so that the bottom of the flaskpasses through a distance of 64 to 89 mm (2.5 to 3.5 in.). Shake at the rateestablished by calibration within a tolerance of 610 cycles/min.11.2 Using Test Metho
27、ds D 1298 or D 4052, determine thedensity at 25C in grams per millilitre by means of dataobtained from Vol VIII and Vol XI/XII of the PetroleumMeasurement Tables. (See Guide D 1250.)11.3 Weigh into a clean, dry sulfonation flask the equivalentof 4.9 to 5.1 mL of the sample at 25C, weighed to the nea
28、rest0.005 g, adding the oil to the flask by pipet, and taking care todeposit as little oil as possible on the neck of the flask. Fromthe weight of the sample, calculate its volume at 25C.11.4 Slowly introduce 20 6 0.5 mL of H2SO4(98.61 %)into the flask in such a way that oil adhering to the neck of
29、theflask will be washed down. Transfer the flask to the carrier, andsuspend the carrier in the boiling water bath, with the flaskimmersed to a point between the 0 and 10 marks, noting thetime when this is done. Close the cover of the bath, and directa gentle stream of air across the top of the flask
30、 to blow awayany steam arising from the opening.11.5 After the flask has been in the bath for 10 6 1 min,remove the carrier and install it, with minimum delay, on theshaker. While wearing a face shield, shake for 10 6 1sattherate established in the calibration with the reference spray oil.(WarningCe
31、rtain samples of low unsulfonated residue canfoam excessively when shaken. Stop the shaker when the foamrises in the neck of the flask, and shake intermittently but at thespecified rate. Substitute the counter for the timer and shake atotal number of cycles equal to one-sixth of the numberrepresenti
32、ng the established rate in cycles per minute, eventhough it requires more than 10 s for example, if the rate is 425cycles/min, shake 71 cycles.) After shaking, return the carrierto the bath as quickly as possible. Repeat the shaking at 10 61 min intervals for a total of six shaking periods, so that
33、anhour has elapsed between the time of placing the flask in thebath, and the removal for the final shaking.11.6 After the final shaking, cool to approximately roomtemperature, and add sufficient H2SO4(95 %) to raise the oilinto the neck of the flask nearly to the top graduation. Place theflask in th
34、e centrifuge, balancing as necessary, and centrifugefor 10 min at a speed calculated by the equation given inA1.1.6, or taken from Table 1 to give a relative centrifugalforce between 80 and 100 at the bottom of the flask. Transferthe flask to a water bath maintained at 25 6 0.5C for 10 6 1min, with
35、the graduated neck immersed to the upper oil level.NOTE 2The use of rubber cushions in the centrifuge carrier tubes toavoid breakage is recommended.11.7 Transfer the flask to the shelf in the 25C bath. Usinga suitable light source, and the aid of a viewing lens, record thereading on the graduated ne

In reading the top, hold a black strip (about10 by 50 mm) at the
