Scope1.1 This test method covers determination of the compat-
4、ibility of commercial SCA and commercial ethylene andpropylene glycol engine coolant concentrates. This test methodfocuses on the solubility of specific chemical species formed inthe engine coolant. The short duration of the test (24 h), amongother restrictions, makes the test method of limited use
5、forsorting out a variety of chemical compatibility problems inwhich a component of the SCA may react with a component ofthe coolant additive package. The test as currently written alsodoes not deal with the issue of hard water compatibility, inwhich a component of the coolant or SCA additive package

Significance and Use5.1 This test was developed to mimic the formation ofinsolubles observed in some heavy-duty diesel cooling systemsduring the mid 1980s. It measures the compatibility of SCAand
15、 coolant concentrate solutions according to their tendencyto form insolubles in service.6Such insoluble materials mayaccumulate within a cooling system, restrict heat transferthrough radiator cores, and contribute to the damage ofcomponents such as water pumps.6.

Polyethylene orpol
20、ypropylene containers with screw caps are satisfactory.8. Procedure8.1 Compatibility testing of SCA shall be conducted using aratio of 60 parts of coolant concentrate to 40 parts of awater-SCA mixture. The level of SCA in the total 60:40mixture will be approximately twice the SCA manufacturersrecomm
21、ended concentration.8.2 Fill a 100-mL centrifuge tube to the 60-mL mark withcoolant concentrate.8.3 Determine the volume of water to be added based on thephysical state and the recommended concentration of SCA tobe evaluated. Add this volume of water to the centrifuge tubeusing a graduated cylinder.
22、 For example, if the SCA is a liquidto be added at the recommended concentration of 3 % byvolume, twice the recommended concentration is 6 % or 6 mL.The volume of water to be added is 34 mL. This is 100 mL(volume of the centrifuge tube) less 60 mL (volume of coolantconcentrate required) less 6 mL (v
23、olume of SCA required).NOTE 1Using hard water will greatly influence the amount ofsolubles formed. Testing the purity of the water with a conductivity meteris recommended.NOTE 2If the SCA is a solid, prepare a sufficient volume of aconcentrated solution of the SCA in deionized water.8.4 Pipette the
24、required volume of SCA into the mixture ofcoolant concentrate and water. The sequence of mixing must beas follows: coolant concentrate, water, SCA solution. Cap witha solid rubber stopper and agitate thoroughly.NOTE 3Glycol and water mixtures exhibit a volume contraction dueto the partial molal volu
25、me effect. The final volume of the mixture shouldbe less than 100 mL, as indicated in Fig. 1.8.5 In a similar manner, add 60 mL of reference coolantconcentrate, 34 mL of deionized water, and 6 mL of referenceSCA solution to a second 100-mL centrifuge tube, and agitatethoroughly. The reference coolan
26、t must be used within 30 daysof preparation. Discard and prepare a new reference if anyinsoluble material is observed.8.6 Replace the rubber stoppers with clean air condensersprepared by inserting a 300-mm (12-in.) length of glass tubingthrough a properly sized one-hole stopper.6Hercamp and Hudgens,

28、 condenser past the bottom of the condenser tube.Immerse the centrifuge tube to the level of the solution in aconstant temperature bath at 88C (190F) for 24 h (see Fig. 1).NOTE 4The purpose of the wire is to provide a means of directingcondensate back to the centrifuge tube.8.8 At the end of the hea
29、ting period, remove the centrifugetube and solution from the bath, and cool to room temperature(allow at least 1 h). Remove the air condenser stopper, andreplace with a solid rubber stopper. Using a two-pan balance,balance the centrifuge tube, stopper, and sample against acentrifuge tube (with stopp
30、er) containing any suitable liquid.NOTE 5The centrifuge tube may be balanced against another centri-fuge tube containing another sample. A few drops of a solution of 60 %reagent grade ethylene glycol and 40 % deionized water may be added toone of the tubes to equalize the mass of the tubes.8.9 Centr

33、nly.8.10 At the end of the centrifuging, stop the centrifuge andimmediately read the volume of solids in the bottom of thetube, estimating to the nearest part of a millilitre as appropriate.8.11 Clean the centrifuge tubes using the following proce-dure:8.11.1 Shake the tubes to loosen the insoluble
34、materials, anddiscard liquid and insolubles into a suitable container. Fill thetubes partially with tap water, and repeat as necessary.NOTE 8The insolubles may be loosened with the aid of an ultrasoniccleaner.8.11.2 Rinse the inside of the tubes with 1:1 HCl solution,and discard washings.8.11.3 Clea
35、n the tubes with a solution of detergent andwater, brushing as needed.8.11.4 Rinse the tubes three times with warm tap water.8.11.5 Rinse once with acetone or isopropyl alcohol toremove water, and air dry.9. Calculation and Interpretation of Results9.1 The tendency to form insolubles for the SCA-coo
36、lantconcentrate combination under evaluation is expressed inrelation to the tendency to form insolubles for the referenceSCA in a diluted reference coolant concentrate.9.2 Calculate the ratio of the volumes of insolubles formedas follows:ratio 5 A/B (3)where:A = volume of insolubles formed in the te
37、st solution, andB = volume of insolubles formed in the reference solution.10.

38、f this test method as deter-mined by an interlaboratory round robin7performed in accor-dance with Practice E 691 has been determined to be depen-dent upon the test level and may be estimated as follows:Repeatability (r) = 0.12341XReproducibility (R) = 0.31641Xwhere X = average of two results being c
39、ompared.11.1.1 In the long run, the average of two results determinedon identical materials by the same operator following thisprocedure in the same laboratory using the same equipment onthe same day will exceed the repeatability only once in twentytimes. Similarly, the average of two results determ
40、ined by twodifferent laboratories on random samples of the same batch ofidentical materials will exceed the reproducibility only once intwenty times.11.2 Table 1 shows the range of ratios determined in theround robin.
