15、es.6. Sampling, Containers, and Sample Handling6.1 The user is strongly advised to review all intended testmethods prior to sampling in order to understand the impor-tance and effects of sampling technique, proper containers, andspecial handling required for each test method.6.2 Correct sampling pro

16、cedures are critical to obtain asample representative of the lot intended to be tested. Useappropriate procedures in Practice D4057 or Practice E300 formanual method sampling and in Practice D4177 for automaticmethod sampling as applicable.6.3 The correct sample volume and appropriate containerselec

17、tion are important decisions that can impact test results.Refer to Practice D4306 for aviation fuel container selectionfor tests sensitive to trace contamination. Refer to PracticeD5854 for procedures on container selection and samplemixing and handling. Where practical, MTBE should besampled in gla

18、ss containers. If samples must be collected inmetal containers, do not use soldered metal containers. This isbecause the soldering flux in the containers and the lead in thesolder can contaminate the samples. Plastic containers shouldbe avoided.6.4 Sample SizeA minimum of about 2 L is recom-mended.6

19、.5 Lot SizeA lot shall normally consist of the amountcontained in a tanker compartment or other bulk container inwhich it is delivered. If this definition does not apply, thedefinition of a lot must be agreed upon between the supplierand purchaser.7. Test Methods7.1 The scope of some of the test met

23、ICANCE OF ASTM SPECIFICATION FOR MTBE FOR DOWNSTREAM BLENDING FOR USE IN AUTOMOTIVESPARK-IGNITION ENGINE FUELX1.1 GeneralX1.1.1 Methyl tertiary-butyl ether may be used as a blend-ing component for automotive spark-ignition engine fuel tomeet the oxygenate content requirements or improve theantiknock

24、 quality, or both, of certain types of fuels. MTBEpurchased under this specification will assist terminal ordownstream blenders in the use of MTBE as a blendingcomponent.X1.1.2 The composition of unleaded fuel is subject to therules, regulations, and Clean Air Act waivers of the U.S.Environmental Pr

25、otection Agency (EPA). The use of oxygen-ates in blends with unleaded gasoline is described underSection 211(f) (1) of the Clean Air Act. The performancerequirements of this specification were established to helpensure that the addition (in appropriate amounts) of MTBE asdescribed in this specificat

26、ion would not be detrimental to theproperties of the fuel blend.X1.2 AppearanceX1.2.1 Methyl tertiary-butyl ether as covered by this speci-fication is a relatively pure material. Suspended materials,sediments, or contaminants in the MTBE which cause a cloudyor colored appearance may adversely affect

27、 the performance ofthe finished fuel blend in automotive spark-ignition engines.Also, a cloudy or colored appearance may indicate excessivewater or contamination by materials not directly measuredunder this specification.X1.3 SulfurX1.3.1 Sulfur and sulfur-containing compounds contributeto engine we

The limit on sulfur is included toensure that the finished blend of fuel is not detrimental to thesesystems

30、.X1.4 Solvent-Washed Gum ContentX1.4.1 The test for solvent-washed gum content measuresthe amount of residue after evaporation of the fuel componentand following a heptane wash. The heptane wash removes theheptane-soluble, nonvolatile material such as additives, carrieroils used with additives, and

31、diesel fuels. Solvent-washed gumconsists of fuel-insoluble gum and fuel-soluble gum. Thefuel-insoluble portion can clog fuel filters. Both can bedeposited on surfaces when the fuel evaporates. The solvent-washed gum content test may also indicate contamination ofthe methyl tertiary-butyl ether durin

32、g shipping and storage.The limit is included to ensure that finished blends of gasolinedo not contain excess solvent-washed gum and handlingcontamination is minimized.X1.4.2 Solvent-washed gum can contribute to deposits onthe surfaces of carburetors, fuel injectors, and intake mani-folds, ports, val

33、ves, and valve guides. The impact of solvent-washed gum on malfunctions of modern engines is not wellestablished, and the current limit has been assumed from thehistoric gasoline limit rather than from any recent correlativework. It depends on where the deposits form, the presence ofother deposit pr

34、ecursors such as airborne debris, blowby andexhaust gas, recirculation gases, and oxidized engine oil, andthe amount of deposits.X1.4.3 Because the precision statements for Test MethodD381 were developed using only data on hydrocarbons, theymay not be applicable to MTBE.X1.5 Copper Strip CorrosionX1

35、.5.1 Fuels must pass the copper strip corrosion test tominimize corrosion in fuel systems due to sulfur compounds inthe fuel. This limit is included to ensure that the methyltertiary-butyl ether does not contribute to copper corrosion.X1.6 Methyl Tertiary-Butyl Ether PurityX1.6.1 The methyl tertiary

36、-butyl ether minimum puritylevel limits the quantities of contaminants. Some organiccompounds other than MTBE may adversely affect the prop-erties of finished fuel blends.X1.7 Methanol ContentX1.7.1 Methanol is one of the reactants in the production ofMTBE and is a potential contaminant. Methanol co

37、ntributes tovapor pressure increase and poorer water tolerance of finishedfuel blends. The U.S. EPA substantially similar rule limits themethanol content of unleaded fuels. Therefore, it is necessaryto limit the methanol content of MTBE.X1.8 Water ContentX1.8.1 Blends of MTBE and hydrocarbon gasolin

38、e have alimited solvency for water. This solvency will vary with thechemical composition, temperature, and MTBE content of thefuel. Excess water (which may be soluble in the MTBE) maynot be soluble in the gasoline-MTBE blend and could result ina hazy fuel that does not meet the clear and bright requ

39、irementof Specification D4814. The water content of MTBE used forblending with hydrocarbon gasoline is limited to reduce therisk of haze formation.X1.9 Vapor PressureX1.9.1 The vapor pressure of a finished fuel blend must behigh enough to ensure ease of engine starting. Excessive vaporpressure, howe

40、ver, may contribute to vapor lock or highevaporative emissions and running losses.X1.9.2 The vapor pressure of MTBE is controlled to pre-vent adversely affecting the vapor pressure of the finishedblend. A vapor pressure in excess of the value specified inSection 4 may indicate contamination by a lig

41、ht hydrocarbon.Therefore, the vapor pressure must be controlled.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.
