(SeeNote 1.)NOTE 1The original standard D3703 was published in 1978 asStandard Test Method for Peroxide Number of Aviation Turbine Fuels.This test method originally used carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), which wasdetermined to be carcinogenetic. CC
17、l4was later replaced with 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2 trifluoroethane. 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane is anozone depleting substance. The use of an ozone depleting substanceprecludes its use by many operators.5. Significance and Use5.1 The magnitude of the hydroperoxide number is anindication of th
18、e quantity of oxidizing constituents present.Deterioration of the fuels results in the formation of hydrop-eroxides and other oxygen-carrying compounds. The hydrop-eroxide number measures those compounds that will oxidizepotassium iodide.5.2 The determination of the hydroperoxide number ofaviation t
19、urbine fuels, gasoline and diesel is significant becauseof the adverse effect of hydroperoxide upon certain elastomersin the fuel systems.5.3 The determination of hydroperoxide number of gasolineis significant because hydroperoxides have been demonstratedto decrease both Research and Motor Octane Nu

Inaddition, hydroperoxides have adverse effects on certain fuelsystem components.5.4 The determination of hydroperoxide number of dieselfuel is significant because hydroperoxides have been demon-strated to increase the Cetane Number.

38、s.8. Sampling8.1 Samples shall be taken in accordance with the proce-dures described in Practice D4057.8.2 If samples cannot be tested immediately, they should bestored in a refrigerator at a temperature between 1 and 4C (35and 40F). Bring the sample to room temperature beforetesting.9. Procedure9.1
39、 Select the appropriate weight of sample from the fol-lowing table:Estimated Peroxide Number,mg/kgSample Mass, g0to10 5011 to 30 3531 to 50 2551 to 80 (Note 2) 1081 to 100 5NOTE 2The precision statement was based up to 50 mg/kg oxygen.The precision might not apply for samples greater than 50 mg/kg.9
40、.2 Weigh the sample, accurate to 1 mg, into a 250-mLiodine flask that has been flushed with nitrogen or carbondioxide. With a measuring cylinder, add 25 mL of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (WarningSee A1.1). Pass a vigorous flowof nitrogen or carbon dioxide through the solvent for at least 1min; then, with
41、out stopping the gas flow, add 20 mL of aceticacid solution and reduce the flow of gas so that the rate is onebubble per second. Add 2 mL of KI solution and mixvigorously for 30 6 1 s. Set the flask aside to stand for 5 min6 3s.9.3 At the end of the reaction period, add 100 mL of waterand stop the g
42、as flow. Add 5 mL of starch solution. Titrate with0.005N Na2S2O3solution to the disappearance of the bluecolor.9.4 Titrate a reagent blank just prior to each set of unknowndeterminations, following the same procedure as described in9.1-9.3. (See Note 3.)NOTE 3This end point is of the returning type.
43、 The end point intendedin this method is the disappearance of the blue color for 30 s or longer. Ifthere is no blue color upon the addition of the starch solution, there is nodetectable hydroperoxide and therefore there is no need to titrate thesolution with Na2S2O3solution.10.

Precision and Bias613.1 PrecisionThe precision of this method was deter-mined from an interlaboratory study (ILS). The study con-tained thirteen (13) fuel samples which were
47、 tested in nine (9)laboratories in duplicate. The fuel types in the study were:regular and premium gasoline, ultra low sulfur diesel, Jet A,and isooctane blank. A biodiesel fuel was also included in thestudy but was not used in calculating the precision statementbecause of the variabilities between
48、laboratories.13.1.1 RepeatabilityThe difference between two succes-sive test results, obtained by the same operator with the sameapparatus under constant operating conditions on identical testmaterial would, in the long run, in the normal and correctoperation of the test method, exceed the following
