A blue color should not appear at thezone o

33、on.7.2 Fill the test tube to the 5 mL mark with H2SO4(94.7 60.2 %). Then add the oil to be tested to the 10-mL mark, insertthe stopper loosely, and place the test tube in position in thewater bath at 100 6 0.5C.7.3 After the test tube has been in the water bath for 30 s,loosen the stopper sufficient
34、ly to release any pressure andreinsert, remove the test tube from the bath quickly, hold witha finger over the stopper, and give three vigorous, verticalshakes over an amplitude of about 127 mm, shaking the testtube quickly and at a rate corresponding to 5 shakes/s. (Ashaking machine may be employed
35、 provided the results thatcan be obtained agree with those obtained by the prescribedmanual agitation.) Repeat every 30 s. Do not keep the test tubeout of the bath longer than 3 s for each shaking period.7.4 At the end of 10 min from the time the test tube was firstplaced in the bath, remove the tes
36、t tube and allow to stand inthe room for not less than 10 min nor more than 30 min.Observe and record any discoloration of the oil layer. Place thetest tube in the color comparator, and compare the acid layerwith 5 mL of the standard colorimetric solution and 5 mL ofwhite mineral oil in a test tube
37、that has been shaken vigorouslyfor 10 s and allowed to stand just long enough for the contentsto separate into two layers.8. Interpretation of Results8.1 White mineral oil shall be reported as passing the testonly when the oil layer shows no change in color (see Note 2)and when the acid layer is not
38、 darker than the referencestandard colorimetric solution.NOTE 2A bluish haze or a slight pink or yellow color in the oil layershould not be interpreted as a change in color.8.2 If the oil layer is discolored or if the acid layer is darkerthan the reference standard colorimetric solution, white min-e
39、ral oil shall be reported as not passing the test.9. Precision and Bias9.1 No statement is made about either the precision or biasof this test method since the result merely states whether thereis conformance to the criteria for success specified in theprocedure.10.
