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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the det
3、ermination of acidic orbasic constituents (Note 1) in petroleum products2and lubri-cants soluble or nearly soluble in mixtures of toluene andisopropyl alcohol. It is applicable for the determination of acidsor bases whose dissociation constants in water are larger than109; extremely weak acids or ba
4、ses whose dissociationconstants are smaller than 109do not interfere. Salts react iftheir hydrolysis constants are larger than 109.NOTE 1In new and used oils, the constituents considered to haveacidic characteristics include organic and inorganic acids, esters, phenoliccompounds, lactones, resins, s
5、alts of heavy metals, and addition agentssuch as inhibitors and detergents. Similarly, constituents considered tohave basic properties include organic and inorganic bases, aminocompounds, salts of weak acids (soaps), basic salts of polyacidic bases,salts of heavy metals, and addition agents such as
6、inhibitors anddetergents.NOTE 2This test method is not suitable for measuring the basicconstituents of many basic additive-type lubricating oils. Test MethodD4739 can be used for this purpose.1.2 This test method can be used to indicate relative changesthat occur in an oil during use under oxidizing
7、 conditions.Although the titration is made under definite equilibriumconditions, the method does not measure an absolute acidic orbasic property that can be used to predict performance of an oilunder service conditions. No general relationship betweenbearing corrosion and acid or base numbers is kno
8、wn.NOTE 3Oils, such as many cutting oils, rustproofing oils, and similarcompounded oils, or excessively dark-colored oils, that cannot be ana-lyzed for acid number by this test method due to obscurity of thecolor-indicator end point, can be analyzed by Test Method D664. The acidnumbers obtained by t

Summary of Test Method4.1 To determine the acid or base number, the sample isdissolved in a mixture
21、of toluene and isopropyl alcoholcontaining a small amount of water, and the resulting single-phase solution is titrated at room temperature with standardalcoholic base or alcoholic acid solution, respectively, to theend point indicated by the color change of the addedp-naphtholbenzein solution (oran
22、ge in acid and green-brown inbase). To determine the strong acid number, a separate portionof the sample is extracted with hot water and the aqueousextract is titrated with potassium hydroxide solution, usingmethyl orange as an indicator.5. Significance and Use5.1 New and used petroleum products can
23、 contain basic oracidic constituents that are present as additives or as degrada-tion products formed during service, such as oxidation prod-ucts. The relative amount of these materials can be determinedby titrating with acids or bases. This number, whether ex-pressed as acid number or base number,
24、is a measure of thisamount of acidic or basic substances, respectively, in theoilalways under the conditions of the test. This number isused as a guide in the quality control of lubricating oilformulations. It is also sometimes used as a measure oflubricant degradation in service; however, any conde
25、mninglimits must be empirically established.5.2 Since a variety of oxidation products contribute to theacid number and the organic acids vary widely in corrosiveproperties, the test cannot be used to predict corrosiveness ofan oil under service conditions. No general correlation isknown between acid
26、 number and the corrosive tendency of oilstoward metals. Compounded engine oils can and usually dohave both acid and base numbers in this test method.6.

41、 follows: Weigh, to the nearest 0.1 mgapproximately 0.2 g of potassium acid phthalate, which hasbeen dried for at least 1 h at 110 C 6 1 C and dissolve in40 mL 6 1 mL of water, free of CO2. Titrate with thepotassium hydroxide alcoholic solution to either of the follow-ing end points: (1) When the ti

Perform the
43、 blank titration on the water used to dissolvethe potassium acid phthalate. Calculate the molarity using thefollowing equation:Molarity 5Wp204.2331000V 2 Vb(1)where:Wp= weight of the potassium acid phthalate, g,204.23 = molecular weight of the potassium acid phthalate,V = volume of titrant used to t

Preparation of Used Oil Samples8.1 Strict observance of the sampling procedure describedin 8.2 is necessary, since the sediment itself is acidic or basicor has adsorbed acidic or basic material from the sample.Failure to obtain a re
47、presentative sample causes serious errors.8.2 Heat the sample (Note 9) of used oil to 60 C 6 5Cinthe original container and agitate until all sediment is homo-geneously suspended in the oil (Note 10). If the originalcontainer is of opaque material, or if it is more than three-fourths full, transfer
48、the entire sample to a clear glass bottlehaving a capacity at least one third greater than the volume ofthe sample, and transfer all traces of sediment from the originalcontainer to the bottle by violent agitation of portions of thesample in the original container. After complete suspension ofall se
49、diment, strain the sample or a convenient aliquot througha 100-mesh screen for the removal of large contaminatingparticles (Note 9).NOTE 9When samples are visibly free of sediment, the heatingprocedure described in 8.2 may be omitted. When samples are visibly freeof sediment, the straining procedure may also be omitted.NOTE 10As used oil can change appreciably in storage, samplesshould be tested as soon as possible after removal from the lubricatingsystem and the dates of sampling and testing should be noted.9.
