3、his test method covers a technique for measuring theconcentration of Diethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (Di-EGME) in aviation fuels.Ameasured volume of fuel, extractedwith a fixed ratio of water, is tested with a suitable refracto-meter to determine the concentration of fuel system icinginhibitor (F
4、SII) in fuel. Precision estimates have been deter-mined for the DiEGME additive using specific extraction ratioswith a wide variety of fuel types. The extraction ratios are highenough that portable handheld refractometers can be used, butnot so high as to sacrifice accuracy or linearity, or both, in
5、 the0.01 to 0.25 vol % range of interest.1.2 DiEGME is fully described in Specification D4171 andin other specifications.1.3 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 th

The extraction procedure includes suffi-cient agitation and contacting time to ensure that equilibriumdistributions a
12、re attained. If using an Analog Refractometer,place several drops of water extract on the measuring surface,point it towards a light source, and take a reading on theinternal scale. The analog HB refractometer will display theactually percent volume of DiEGME on its scale. Users of aBrix refractomet
13、er will follow a similar procedure, but willhave to convert the Brix reading into DiEGME percentvolume. If the Brix refractometer is not automatically tempera-ture compensated, then a temperature correction must first beapplied to the Brix reading before converting it to percentDiEGME. If using a Di
14、gital Refractometer, place several dropsof water extract in the sample well, press a button to initiate thereading, and the percent volume of DiEGME will be displayed1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Products and Lubricants and is the direct responsibility

17、 (WarningDiethylene glycol monom-ethyl ether (DiEGME), Slightly toxic material. This materialcaused slight embryo-fetal toxicity (delayed development) butno increase in birth defects in laboratory animals. Consult thesuppliers material safety data sheet.)NOTE 1Isopropanol is not detected because of
18、the similarity ofisopropanol/water refractive indices, and the presence of isopropanol infuel containing other additives results in lower than true values.5. Significance and Use5.1 DiEGME is miscible with water and can be readilyextracted from the fuel by contact with water during shippingand in st
19、orage. Methods are therefore needed to check theadditive content in the fuel to ensure proper additive concen-tration in the aircraft.5.2 This test method is applicable to analyses performed inthe field or in a laboratory.6. Apparatus6.1 RefractometerAn optical instrument used to measurethe physical
20、 properties of a solution. Refractometers suitablefor use in this test method include:6.1.1 HB Refractometer3An analog refractometer with adirect reading scale for percent DiEGME. This instrument isautomatically temperature compensated from 18 to 35C.6.1.2 Brix RefractometerAn analog refractometer w

22、RefractometerAdigital refractome-ter that provides a direct reading of DiEGME concentrationand is automatically temperature compensated within the rangeof 10 to 40C.6.2 Extraction VesselAny suitable vessel of at least 200mL with provisions for isolating a small column of waterextract. Examples are s
23、eparatory funnels, (glass or plastic), orplastic dropping bottles.6.3 Measuring VesselAny vessel capable of measuring upto 160 mL of fuel to an accuracy of 6 2 mL, such as a 250-mLgraduated cylinder, or other calibrated container.6.4 Water Dispenser2.0-mL pipettes are preferred, butsyringes or buret
24、tes not exceeding 5.0-mL capacity that candispense 2.0 6 0.2 mL may be used. For the Brix refractome-ter, the pipette must measure 1.0 6 0.1 mL.6.5 ThermometerThe thermometer must have suitablerange to measure air and fuel temperature in the field.Accurateto 61C and meeting Specification E1.7. Reage
25、nts and Materials7.1 WaterDistilled or deionized water is preferred for theextraction procedure, and for refractometer calibration, butpotable water may be used.8. Refractometer Calibration8.1 All refractometers should be zero-set to water beforeuse. The exact procedure for zero-setting a refractome
26、ter variesbased on the type and make of instrument. Consult the usermanual for specific instructions on zero-setting each make ofrefractometer.8.2 The calibration step is incorporated into the procedure tominimize the effect of temperature changes between the time ofcalibration and measurement. (War
27、ningThe extraction, cali-bration, and measurement steps should be done at ambientconditions. Avoid placing the refractometer on hot or coldsurfaces, in pockets on your person, or other locations thatwould change the temperature of the instrument from ambient.When zero-setting or making a measurement
28、, take care not toheat or cool the refractometer from ambient.)8.3 For the most accurate possible readings, the refractome-ter, the calibration fluid, and the ambient temperature should allbe in equilibrium within the temperature compensation range,or the operational temperature range, of the refrac
29、tometer. Ifthere is a temperature disparity, allow some time for thetemperatures to equalize before taking a reading.9. Sample Preparation and Extraction9.1 Extraction Ratios for Both Analog and Digital Refrac-tometers with Direct Reading DiEGME Scales:9.1.1 Measure 160 mLof fuel to be tested into t

31、 vessel.10. Sample Extraction10.1 Shake the extraction vessel vigorously for a minimumof 5 min for all fuels.10.2 Mechanical shakers may be used, provided that thor-ough intermixing of the aqueous and fuel phases occurs,similar to that obtained by hand shaking. (WarningFollowing the extraction proce
32、dures is most critical. Failure toextract for the specified time or failure to provide vigorousagitation can result in false readings. If lower than expectedreadings are obtained, a second test should be done with alonger extraction time.)10.3 Allow the extraction vessel to sit undisturbed at ambi-e
33、nt temperature for a period of at least 2 min to allow the waterto settle to the bottom.11. Sample Testing11.1 Measurement of Samples Using Digital Refractometerswith DiEGME Scales:11.1.1 Locate the thermometer and refractometer wherethey will remain at ambient temperature during the test.3The analo
