United States14. Summary of Test Method4.1 A5 mLA
16、 5 mL sample is introduced into a pressure vessel which is then charged with oxygen to 700 kPa at ambienttemperature. The test is initiated by starting the heater and heating the pressure vessel to a temperature of 140C.4.2 The pressure is recorded continuously until the breakpoint is reached. Alter
17、natively, the test may be terminated when aminimum specification requirement is reached.5. Significance and Use5.1 The induction period may be used as an indication of the oxidation and storage stability of middle distillate fuel.5.2 Compared to some other oxidation and storage stability test method
18、s, this method uses a small sample and gives a resultin a short time period.6. Apparatus6.1 GeneralThis test method uses an automatically controlled oxidation tester5 (see Fig. 1) comprising an oxidation pressurevessel containing a test sample cup capable of being rapidly heated, fitted with a press
19、ure sensor capable of measuring pressuresup to 2000 kPa and a temperature sensor capable of reading to 0.1C.6.1.1 Pressure and temperature in the oxidation vessel are recorded continuously during the test. The oxidation pressure vesselis fitted with filling and relief-valves and a means of automatic
20、ally releasing the pressure. The integrated cooling fan cools thepressure vessel from the test temperature to ambient temperature by a flow of air. See Annex A1 for detailed information.6.2 Volumetric DeviceClean and free from contaminations of previous samples, capable of delivering 5.0 6 0.1 mL.6.
21、3 Temperature Calibration EquipmentComprising a cover and a temperature calibration sensor (Fig. 2). The temperaturecalibration sensor is fixed to a depth of 15 6 0.5 mm. The temperature calibration sensor, calibrated to the nearest 0.1C, iscalibrated by an approved calibration service, such as one
22、that is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST) or to a national authority in the country in which the equipment is used or manufactured.6.4 Pressure Calibration EquipmentComprising a pressure calibration sensor (Fig. 3). The pressure calibration sensor iscalibrated to
23、the nearest 10 kPa by an approved calibration service, such as one that is traceable to the National Institute ofStandards and Technology (NIST) or to a national authority in the country in which the equipment is used or manufactured.7. Reagents and Materials7.1 Solvent for the removal of oxidation
24、residues from the test vessel. The solvent shall be of suitable purity to leave no residueon the apparatus. Ethanol of 94% minimum purity has been found to be suitable. Other solvents, such as a mixture of equalvolumes of toluene and acetone, may be used if shown to meet the requirements for the rem
25、oval of oxidation residues from thetest vessel without leaving any residue in the sample test cup.7.2 OxygenCommercially available extra-dry oxygen of not less than 99.6% purity.7.3 Lint-free Cleaning TissueFor sensitive surfaces and that will not scratch the surface.7.4 “O -ring” SealSee A1.2.7.5 T

Hazards8.1 (WarningTo provide protection against possible explosive rupture of the pressure vessel and hazards relating to hot andflammable fuels, the apparatus shall be operat
27、ed behind an appropriate safety shield.)9. Sampling9.1 Sample in accordance with Practice D4057 or D4177.10. Preparation of Apparatus10.1 Remove the previous sample by means of a pipette or similar device.10.2 Remove the used “O-ring” seal and discard.5 The sole source of supply of the apparatus kno
28、wn to the committee at this time is Petrotest PetroOXY Anton Paars PetroOxy apparatus, available from Petrotest.Instruments GmbH surface of the sample cup for damage; sample cup for sampleresidues.12.7.2 Contact the manufacturer to resolve leakage problems from other parts of the instrument.12.8 The
29、 apparatus automatically records the temperature (to the nearest 0.1C) and pressure (to the nearest 1 kPa) of theoxidation vessel continuously.12.9 The test apparatus will automatically terminate the test when the pressure readings show a 10% drop from the maximumobserved pressure. This is the break
30、point.12.10 Record the induction period to the nearest 1 min.12.11 Alternatively, terminate the test when the test time exceeds a predetermined minimum requirement.NOTE 3The apparatus will automatically switch on the fan to cool the pressure vessel to approximately room temperature. When the apparat
31、us hascooled sufficiently, the apparatus automatically releases the pressure slowly from the pressure vessel through the valve at a rate not exceeding 345kPa/min. When the pressure release process has finished, open the apparatus and clean according Section 10.13. Report13.1 Report the induction per
32、iod to the nearest whole minute, and reference this test method. If the test was stopped (12.11) priorto observing the pressure drop required in 12.9, report induction period (referencing this test method) as greater than N minutes,where N is the predetermined minimum time within the induction perio

Preliminary examinationsfor repeatability have shown a value of “r” = 3.2 minutes as interim precision.Precision:14.1.1 The precision statements below were developed from dat
34、a for EN 16091, which is technically identical to this testmethod.14.1.2 The data were developed in round robin tests in 2008 and 2009 supervised by the technical committee CEN/TC19/JWG1and in accordance with ISO 4259. Samples in the round robins included B100 (FAME), B0, B5, B7, B10 and B30 samples
35、, Theinduction periods measured were between 22 min to 215 min.14.1.3 ReproducibilityThe reproducibility of this test method is yet to be determined and will be available on or before2013.samples had been prepared by blending of B0 which meets the requirements of the EN 590 with a sulfur contents be
36、low 15mg/kg only with other fuels such that the resulting final blends for B5 and B7 also met the requirements of EN 590. Other samplesall contained less than 15 mg/kg sulfur. Since Specifications D396 and D975 both include grades with sulfur above 15 mg/kg, theseprecision statements are not based o
37、n samples with sulfur contents in the range of all specification grades. The effect of sulfurcontents or other associated differences in fuels will have on the precision of this test method is unknown.14.1.4 RepeatabilityThe difference between successive test results, obtained by the same operator u
