3、tion 14.5 was corrected editorially in September 2016.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers procedures for the determina-tion of acidic constituents in petroleum products, lubricants,biodiesel and blends of biodiesel.1.1.1 Test Method AFor petroleum products and lubricantssoluble or nearly soluble in
4、 mixtures of toluene and propan-2-ol. It is applicable for the determination of acids whosedissociation constants in water are larger than 10-9; extremelyweak acids whose dissociation constants are smaller than 10-9do not interfere. Salts react if their hydrolysis constants arelarger than 10-9. The
5、range of acid numbers included in theprecision statement is 0.1 mg/g KOH to 150 mg/g KOH.1.1.2 Test Method BDeveloped specifically for biodieseland biodiesel blends with low acidity and slightly differentsolubility. This test method requires the use of an automatictitrator with automatic endpoint se
6、eking capability.NOTE 1In new and used oils, the constituents that may be consideredto have acidic characteristics include organic and inorganic acids, esters,phenolic compounds, lactones, resins, salts of heavy metals, salts ofammonia and other weak bases, acid salts of polybasic acids, and additio
7、nagents such as inhibitors and detergents.1.2 The test method may be used to indicate relativechanges that occur in oil during use under oxidizing conditionsregardless of the color or other properties of the resulting oil.Although the titration is made under definite equilibriumconditions, the test
8、method is not intended to measure anabsolute acidic property that can be used to predict perfor-mance of oil under service conditions. No general relationshipbetween bearing corrosion and acid number is known.NOTE 2The acid number obtained by this standard may or may not benumerically the same as th
9、at obtained in accordance with Test MethodsD974 and D3339. There has not been any attempt to correlate this methodwith other non-titration methods.NOTE 3A few laboratories have made the observation that there is adifference in Test Method D664 results when aqueous versus nonaqueousbuffers are used.1
10、.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 This standard 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
11、-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

17、nThis test method expresses the quantityof base as milligrams of potassium hydroxide per gram ofsample, that is required to titrate a sample in a mixture oftoluene and propan-2-ol to which a small amount of water hasbeen added from its initial meter reading in millivolts to ameter reading in millivo
18、lts corresponding to an aqueous basicbuffer solution or a well-defined inflection point as specified inthe test method.3.1.1.2 DiscussionThis test method provides additionalinformation. The quantity of base, expressed as milligrams ofpotassium hydroxide per gram of sample, required to titrate asampl
19、e in the solvent from its initial meter reading in millivoltsto a meter reading in millivolts corresponding to a freshlyprepared aqueous acidic buffer solution or a well-definedinflection point as specified in the test method shall be reportedas the strong acid number.3.1.1.3 DiscussionThe causes an
20、d effects of the so-calledstrong acids and the causes and effects of the other acids can bevery significantly different. Therefore, the user of this testmethod shall differentiate and report the two, when they arefound.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The sample is dissolved in a titration solvent and t
21、itratedpotentiometrically with alcoholic potassium hydroxide using aglass indicating electrode and a reference electrode or acombination electrode. The meter readings are plotted manu-ally or automatically against the respective volumes of titratingsolution and the end points are taken only at well-
22、definedinflections in the resulting curve. When no definite inflectionsare obtained and for used oils, end points are taken at meterreadings corresponding to those found for aqueous acidic andbasic buffer solutions.5. Significance and Use5.1 New and used petroleum products, biodiesel and blendsof bi
23、odiesel may contain acidic constituents that are present asadditives or as degradation products formed during service,such as oxidation products. The relative amount of thesematerials can be determined by titrating with bases. The acidnumber is a measure of this amount of acidic substance in theoil,
24、 always under the conditions of the test. The acid number isused as a guide in the quality control of lubricating oilformulations. It is also sometimes used as a measure oflubricant degradation in service. Any condemning limits mustbe empirically established.5.2 Since a variety of oxidation products
25、 contribute to theacid number and the organic acids vary widely in corrosionproperties, the test method cannot be used to predict corrosive-ness of oil or biodiesel and blends under service conditions. Nogeneral correlation is known between acid number and thecorrosive tendency of biodiesel and blen
