1、Designation: D483 04 (Reapproved 2014)Standard Test Method forUnsulfonated Residue of Petroleum Plant Spray Oils1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D483; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of
2、last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of unsul-fonated residue in plant spray oils of petroleum origin andapplies
3、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 actual composition o
4、f 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 asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This st
5、andard 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.

A reference spray oil has beencalibrated for unsulfonated residue by a group of cooperatinglaboratories using both machine and hand shaking. Instruct
19、ionsare 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 unsulfonatedresidue of the reference spray oil. There are small variations i
20、nseverity 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 anunsulfonated residue is found which differs by more than60.4 %
21、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 standardize histechnique of shaking so as to obtain the established value(within 6 0.4 %) on the reference sp
22、ray oil. A rate of300 cycles 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.

23、ocedure11.1 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 deviate more than610 cycles min from the rate established by calibra
24、tion.(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 bygrasping the neck between the thumb and index finger and swinging th
25、eflask through an arc of approximately 20 so that the bottom of the flaskpasses through a distance of 64 to 89 mm. Shake at the rate established bycalibration within a tolerance of 610 cycles/min.11.2 Using Test Methods D1298 or D4052, determine thedensity at 25C in grams per millilitre by means of
26、dataobtained from Vol VIII and Vol XI/XII of the PetroleumMeasurement Tables. (See Guide D1250.)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 nearest0.005 g, adding the oil to the flask by pipet, and taking care todeposit as little
27、 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 theflask will be washed down. Transfer the flask to the carrier, andsuspend the carrie
28、r 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 to blow awayany steam arising from the opening.11.5 After the flask has been in the b
29、ath 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.(Warning Certain samples of low unsulfonated residue canfoam excessively when shaken. Stop the s
30、haker 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 numberrepresenting the established rate in cycles per minute, eventhough it requires more than 10 s f
31、or example, if the rate is425 cycles min, shake 71 cycles.) After shaking, return thecarrier to the bath as quickly as possible. Repeat the shaking at10 6 1 min intervals for a total of six shaking periods, so thatan hour has elapsed between the time of placing the flask in thebath, and the removal
32、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.
