Calibration7.1 The TEOST instrument is calibrated by performing theprocedure described in Section 8. At th
27、at point, either a low orhigh deposit reference oil shall be run. The results shall bewithin the repeatability limits established by the supplier of thereference oils.7.2 The calibration should be performed a minimum ofevery six months, as recommended by the instrument manu-facturer.7.3 If the repea
28、tability is not within the established limits,the instrument setup steps in Section 8 should be performed.Then the reference oil should be rerun.8. Setup of the Test Instrument8.1 Pump Speed CalibrationThe pump speed should becalibrated using the instructions found in the operationsmanual. It is rec
29、ommended that this calibration be done everysix months.8.2 Thermocouple DepthThe thermocouple depth setting(distance from tip to locking collar) should be determinedusing the procedure in the operations manual. The depth settingshould be checked daily and should be redetermined whenevera new thermoc
30、ouple is installed.8.3 Thermocouple CalibrationThe thermocouple shall becalibrated every six months or when replaced. This can be doneby placing the thermocouple into a liquid or sand bath whilesimultaneously measuring the temperature by a certified liquidor digital thermometer. The temperature cont
31、roller may then beoffset to display the correct temperature.8.4 Flow CalibrationEnsure the proper operation of theflow meters by connecting a digital flow meter to the output.The flow for the air shall be 3.5 6 1 mL/min and the N2O flowshall be 3.5 6 1 mL/min.8.5 PID SettingsThe PID settings on the
32、temperaturecontroller MUST be set to Pb: 80, Re: 2.0, and Ra: 0.2. Consultthe operations manual for further guidance.8.6 Power AdjustmentsThis procedure, used only forinstruments made prior to 1999, is for making power adjust-ments and is given in the operations manual. It is recom-mended that the p
33、ower adjustments be made by a qualifiedinstrument technician.8.7 Verify that the temperature program shown in Table 1 isentered. When verifying the temperature program, always besure NOT to select guaranteed or assured soak.9. Assembly of Apparatus9.1 Assemble the TEOST system by placing the reactio
34、nchamber in the bolt seats on the TEOST platform with the drainand gas inlet tubing facing the right side of the instrument.9.2 Connect the pump inlet tube to the outlet connection ofthe reaction chamber and the inlet connection of the pump.Finger tighten the connections.9.3 Connect the pump outlet
35、tube to the outlet connection ofthe pump, and place a 10 mL graduated cylinder directly underthe open end of the pump outlet tube.9.4 Place the lid containing the thermocouple on the reac-tion chamber, making sure that the thermocouple is touchingthe bottom of the reaction chamber.9.5 Wrap the heati
36、ng jacket around the reaction chamberand secure it with the provided straps. Connect the heatingjacket and the thermocouple to the labeled connections on theback wall of the instrument. The connectors shall be insertedand twisted to obtain a proper connection. Use the reactortemperature controller t
37、o set the temperature of the reactionchamber to 100C.9.6 Connect the gas tubing to the reaction chamber, and setthe flow meters for the moist air and N2Oto3.56 1 mL/min.These are allowed to flow to purge out the lines before the testbegins.FIG. 2 Weighing Boat and RodTABLE 1 Temperature ProgramProgr

39、enter into the chamber.10. Sample Preparation10.1 After thoroughly mixing the test sample, use a gradu-ated cylinder to measure 116 6 1 mL of the fluid and pour itinto a large beaker until only drips are coming from thegraduated cylinder. Use a syringe to add 193 6 1 L of theapproximately 6 % ferric
40、 napthenate solution to the 116 mL oftest fluid. The resulting concentration of iron in the test fluidwill be about 100 wt ppm.10.2 Use a magnetic bar and stirrer to mix the oil and ferricnaphthenate for at least 5 min but not more than 15 min. Makecertain that a vortex is not created. Periodically
41、move thebeaker around the stirrer (hence moving hte magnet around thebottom) to ensure the best possible stirring.10.3 After the stirring is completed, inspect the oil solutionby holding it up to a light to make sure it is homogenous. If not,stir for 5 min more.11. Procedure11.1 When the reaction ch
42、amber is 100 6 5C, pour the testsample, along with the stirrer bar, into the reaction chamber.Using the speed dial on the right side of the instrument, turn onthe stirrer. The older equipment has a stirrer control versus aswitch; this control must be set so that the stirrer is on but avortex is not
43、formed. The sample temperature should reach100C in approximately 15 min.11.2 Set the pump speed to 999, using the dial on the frontpanel of the instrument. Allow the pump to flush out 10 mL offluid into the 10 mL graduated cylinder placed at the open endof the pump outlet tube. When flushing is comp
44、lete, set thepump dial to 000 to stop the pump. Discard the 10 mL of oil.11.3 Use cyclohexane or heptane to rinse off an unused rod,both on the outside and down the center. Clean each of thethree sections of the rod with 4/0 steel wool by stroking (up anddown action) each section 20 times while turn
45、ing the rod.Rinse the rod with acetone inside and out. Using a pipe cleanersoaked in acetone, clean the interior of the rod. Repeat theinterior cleaning with a clean pipe cleaner through the rod inthe opposite direction. Dry the rod with a vacuum or blowingdry air while holding the rod between the t
46、humb and indexfinger. Make sure to dry the center of the rod as well. Handlethe rod as little as possible to avoid adding mass from oils onthe skin and be sure not to set the rod down until after a massis taken. Take extra care not to touch the center area of the rodwhere the deposits are formed. We
47、ight the rod to 0.1 mg andrecord as the initial mass once the rod weight has come toequilibrium.NOTE 3Heptane may be substituted for cyclohexane throughout thetest. The use of heptane will require longer drying times.11.4 Inspect the bus bars to make sure they are clean. If not,clean the bus bars ac
48、cording to the operations manual. Slide thepre-weighed rod into the clean depositor rod casing with aneven amount of the rod protruding from either end. Slide a newpetroleum and temperature resistant O-ring over each end ofthe rod, and slide them up to the depositor rod casing. Place theceramic isol
49、ators over each end of the rod with the thin portionpointing toward the end of the rod. Place the nuts on the end,and start to secure them, but do not tighten.Align the rod in thedepositor rod casing until an even amount of the rod isprotruding from both ends (equally spaced) or the shoulderbetween the deposit area and the bus bar connection areas ofthe rod is centered in the inlet or outlet connections of thedepositor rod casing. When this is achieved, the nuts may betightened. See Fig. 3.11.5 Place the depositor rod casing/test
