Summary of Test Method4.1 The sample is oxidized in a pressure vessel initially filled at 15 to 25C with oxygen pressure at 690 to 705 kPa and heatedat
18、a temperature between 98 and 102C. The pressure is recorded continuously or read at stated intervals until the breakpoint isreached. The time required for the sample to reach this point is the observed induction period at the temperature of test, from whichthe induction period at 100C can be calcula
19、ted. (WarningIn addition to other precautions, to provide protection against thepossibility of explosive rupture of the pressure vessel, the pressure vessel should be operated behind an appropriate safety shield.)5. Significance and Use5.1 The induction period may be used as an indication of the ten
20、dency of motor gasoline to form gum in storage. It should berecognized, however, that its correlation with the formation of gum in storage may vary markedly under different storageconditions and with different gasolines.6.

24、paratus9.1 Wash the glass sample container with gum solvent until free from gum. Rinse thoroughly with water and immerse thesample container and cover in detergent cleaning solution. The type of detergent and conditions for its use shall match thecleanliness obtained by the use of a strongly oxidizi
25、ng agent such as chromosulfuric acid, ammonium peroxydisulfate inconcentrated sulfuric acid at approximately 8 G./L, or sulfuric acid itself, soaking for at least 12 h, followed by rinses in tap water,distilled water and then acetone. For comparison, visual appearance and weight loss on heating the
26、glassware under test conditionsmay be used. Glassware needs to show no signs of discoloration or particulates on the surface. The weight of glassware must notchange by more than 60.5 mg between cleaning and heating/cooling cycles. Detergent cleaning avoids the potential hazards andinconveniences rel
27、ated to handling corrosive chromic acid solutions; this procedure remains the reference cleaning practice andas such may function as an alternate to the preferred procedure, cleaning with detergent solutions.9.2 Remove container and cover from the cleaning solution by means of corrosion-resistant st
28、eel forceps and handle only withforceps thereafter. Wash thoroughly, first with tap water, then with distilled water, and dry in an oven at 100 to 150C for at least1h.9.3 Drain any gasoline from the pressure vessel and wipe the inside of the pressure vessel and pressure vessel closure, first witha c
29、lean cloth moistened with gum solvent and then with a clean dry cloth. Remove the filler rod from the stem and carefully cleanany gum or gasoline from the stem, rod, and needle valve with gum solvent. The pressure vessel, the valve, and all connectinglines shall be thoroughly dry before each test is
30、 started. (WarningVolatile peroxides which may have formed during a previoustest may accumulate in the equipment, producing a potentially explosive environment. Special care in cleaning after each test isneeded to ensure the filler rod, stem, and needle valve are free of these peroxides.)10. Procedu
31、re10.1 Bring the pressure vessel and the gasoline to be tested to a temperature of 15 to 25C. Place the glass sample containerin the pressure vessel and add 50 6 1 mL of test specimen.Alternatively, transfer 50 6 1 mL of test specimen into the glass samplecontainer first, before placing the glass sa
32、mple container into the pressure vessel. Cover the sample container, close the pressureD525 122vessel, and using a quick release air coupling introduce oxygen until a pressure of 690 to 705 kPa is attained. Allow the gas inthe bomb to escape slowly in order to flush out the air originally present (R
33、elease the pressure at a slow uniform rate through theneedle valve at a rate not to exceed 345 kPa per min). Introduce oxygen again until a pressure of 690 to 705 kPa is attained andobserve for leaks, ignoring an initial rapid drop in pressure (generally not over 40 kPa) which may be observed becaus
34、e of thesolution of oxygen in the sample. When the rate of pressure drop does not exceed 7 kPa in 10 min, assume the absence of leaksand proceed with the test without repressuring.10.2 Place the charged pressure vessel in the vigorously boiling water bath, or appropriate liquid bath equipped with me
35、chanicalstirring, being careful to avoid shaking, and record the time of immersion as the starting time. Maintain the temperature of theliquid bath between 98 and 102C. Observe the temperature to the nearest 0.1C at intervals during the test, and record the averagetemperature to the nearest 0.1C as
36、the temperature of the test. Make a continuous record of the pressures in the pressure vessel,or if an indicating pressure gage is used, take pressure readings at 15-min intervals or less. If, during the initial 30 min of the test,a leak develops (as indicated by a steady drop in pressure considerab
37、ly in excess of 14 kPa in 15 min) discard the test. Continuethe test until reaching a point preceded by a pressure drop of exactly 14 kPa in 15 min and succeeded by a drop of not less than14 kPa in 15 min or until the induction period exceeds the product specification. If no breakpoint is observed a
38、t the terminationof the test, refer to Section 12 for reporting the result. (WarningIf a boiling water bath is used and the test is made in a regionwhere the atmospheric pressure is consistently below normal (101.3 kPa), it is permissible to add a liquid with higher boiling point,such as ethylene gl
39、ycol, to the water in order to maintain the operating temperature of the bath in the neighborhood of 100C. Ifa liquid other than water is used, be sure the liquid is compatible with the seals in the pressure vessel.)10.3 Record the number of minutes from the time the pressure vessel is placed in the
40、 bath until the breakpoint has been reachedas the observed induction period at the temperature of the test.10.4 Cool the pressure vessel to approximately room temperature within 30 min after removal from the bath, using ambient airor water # 35C, before releasing the pressure slowly from the pressur
41、e vessel through the needle valve at a rate not exceeding345 kPa per minute. Wash the pressure vessel and sample container in preparation for the next test.11. Calculation11.1 The number of minutes from the time the pressure vessel is placed in the bath until the breakpoint has been reached is theob

Report12.1 Report the Induction period at 100C, calculated as in 11.2 to the nearest 1 min.12.2 If the test was stopped prior to observing
44、the pressure drop required in 10.2, but after the product specification wasexceeded, then report the result as being greater than N min, where N is the product specification in min.12.3 If a slow oxidation of the sample is occurring rather than a breakpoint as defined in 10.2, then report the sample
45、 as a slowoxidizing fuel with the total time for the test and the overall pressure drop from the start of the test. A precision and bias statementhas not been determined for this case.13. Precision and Bias13.1 The precision of the test method as determined by statistical examination of interlaborat
46、ory test results is as follows:13.1.1 RepeatabilityThe difference between two test results, obtained by the same operator with the same apparatus underconstant operating conditions on identical test material, would in the long run, in the normal and correct operation of the testmethod, exceed the fo
47、llowing values only in one case in twenty: 5 %.13.1.2 ReproducibilityThe difference between two single and independent results obtained by different operators working indifferent laboratories on identical test material would, in the long run, in the normal and correct operation of the test method,ex
48、ceed the following values only in one case in twenty: 10 %.13.2 BiasThere being no criteria for measuring bias in these test-product combinations, no statement of bias can be made.NOTE 4The precision values given above for induction period were obtained using a boiling water bath only as the heat so
49、urce. Therefore, theseprecision values are not necessarily applicable to induction period results obtained using other heat sources.D525 12314.
