2、r of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the det
3、ermination of pentane and toluene insolubles in used lubricating oils.1.2 Procedure A covers the determination of insolubles without the use of coagulant in the pentane. It provides an indicationof the materials that can readily be separated from the oil-solvent mixtures by centrifuging.1.3 Procedur
4、e B covers the determination of insolubles in oils containing detergents and employs a coagulant for both thepentane and toluene insolubles. In addition to the materials separated by using Procedure A, this coagulation procedure separatessome finely divided materials that may be suspended in the oil
5、.NOTE 1Results obtained by Procedures A and B should not be compared since they usually give different values. The same procedure should beemployed when comparing values obtained periodically on an oil in use or when comparing results determined by two or more laboratories.1.4 The values stated in S

17、ocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Procedure AA representative sample of used lubricating oil is mixed with pentane and centrifuged. The oil solution isdecanted and the precipitate washed twice with pentane, dried, and weighed to give the pentane insolubles. For toluene
18、 insolubles,a separate sample of the oil is mixed with pentane and then centrifuged. The precipitate is washed twice with pentane, once withtoluene-alcohol solution, and once with toluene. The insoluble material is then dried and weighed to give the insolubles.4.2 Procedure BArepresentative sample o
19、f used lubricating oil is mixed with pentane-coagulant solution and centrifuged. Theprecipitate is washed twice with pentane, dried, and weighed to give coagulated pentane insolubles. For coagulated tolueneinsolubles a separate sample of the oil is mixed with pentane-coagulant solution and centrifug

Significance and Use5.1 Pentane insolubles can include oil-insoluble materials and some oil-insoluble r
21、esinous matter originating from oil oradditive degradation, or both.5.2 Toluene insoluble materials can come from (1) external contamination, (2 ) fuel carbon and highly carbonized materialsfrom degradation of fuel, oil, and additives, or (3) engine wear and corrosion materials.5.3 A significant cha
22、nge in pentane insolubles, toluene insolubles (with or without coagulant), and insoluble resins indicates achange in oil which could lead to lubrication system problems.5.4 Insolubles measured can also assist in evaluating the performance characteristics of a used oil or in determining the causeof e

Sampling8.1 Obtain a sample using either Practice D4057 or D4177
38、.8.2Heat the sample of used oil to 60 6 5C in the original container and agitate until all sediment is homogeneously suspendedin the oil. 8.2 If the original container is of opaque material, or if it is more than three-fourths full, transfer the entire sample toa clear glass bottle having a capacity
39、 at least one third greater than the volume of the sample, and transfer all traces of sedimentfrom the original container to the bottle by violent agitation of portions of the sample in the original container. Heat the sampleof used oil at 60 6 5C for 30 6 1 min and agitate until all sediment is hom
40、ogeneously suspended in the oil. After completesuspension of all sediment, strain the sample or a convenient aliquot through a 150-m (No. 100) sieve to remove largecontaminating particles.NOTE 2When the sample is clear and transparent and visibly free of sediment, the straining procedure described a
41、bove can be omitted.9. Procedure A for Pentane and Toluene Insolubles Without Coagulant9.1 Pentane Insolubles:9.1.1 Dry a clean centrifuge tube for 30 min at 105 6 3C, cool in a desiccator, and weigh to the nearest 1 mg. Weigh 10.0 60.1 g of the prepared sample of used oil into the tube and fill to
42、the 100-mL mark with pentane (WarningMay be harmful ifinhaled or swallowed.). Stopper the tube and shake until the mixture is homogeneous. Do not allow the mixture to stand more than3h.9.1.2 Remove the stopper, and using a wash bottle having a fine jet, wash all insolubles from the stopper into the
43、centrifuge tubewith a minimum of pentane. Balance the weights of each pair of filled centrifuge tubes, place them in the centrifuge on oppositesides of the head, and centrifuge for 20 6 1 min at a rate calculated in accordance with 6.2, sufficient to produce a relativecentrifugal force (rcf) between
44、 600 and 700 at the tips of the whirling tubes. (See Table 2.) Carefully decant the supernatant liquidwithout disturbing or dispersing the precipitate, leaving not more than 3 mL of liquid in the centrifuge tube.NOTE 3Due to safety concerns when handling flammable materials, some laboratories have f
45、ound it suitable to use refrigerated or explosion-proofcentrifuges or hermetically sealed centrifuge cups with screw caps and seals.9.1.3 Add 10 6 1 mL of pentane to the tube. Dislodge and break up all of the insolubles from the bottom of the tube by meansof a clean stiff wire. Wash all insolubles a
46、dhering to the wire back into the tube with pentane, filling the tube to the 50-mL45-mLmark. Stopper the tube and shake until the mixture is homogeneous. Remove and wash the stopper with pentane, filling the tubeto the 50 mL mark. Centrifuge for 20 6 1 min. Pour the supernatant liquid from the centr
47、ifuge tube, using care to avoid disturbingthe cake of insolubles in the bottom of the tube.9.1.4 Repeat the entire operation described in 9.1.3.9.1.5 Dry the centrifuge tube containing the washed precipitate for 30 6 1 min at 105 6 3C, cool in desiccator, and weighto the nearest 1 mg.9.1.6 With rela
48、tively heavy precipitates there can be some spattering if the tube is placed directly from the centrifuge into theoven. In such cases, the precipitate may be partially dried by weathering at room or slightly higher temperatures before beingplaced in the oven.9.2 Toluene Insolubles:9.2.1 Starting wit
49、h a fresh sample of used oil, precipitate and centrifuge the pentane insolubles as described in 9.1.1-9.1.4, butdo not dry the insolubles in the centrifuge tube.9.2.2 Add 10 6 1 mL of toluene-alcohol solution. Break up and dislodge all of the insolubles from the bottom of the centrifugetube by means of a clean, stiff wire. Wash any insolubles adhering to the wire back into the tube with toluene-alcohol solution,using a sufficient amount of this solvent to fill the tube to the 50-mL45-mL mark. Stopper the tube and shake until the mixturei
