Summary of Test Method4.1 A weighed test sp
18、ecimen is introduced into a heated testvessel containing a diluent base oil. Air is bubbled through theoil to extract the H2S gas. The air with the extracted H2Sispassed, via a vapor phase processor (Procedure A only), to anH2S specific electro-chemical detector enabling the H2S con-tent of the air

Significance and Use5.1 Excessive levels of hydrogen sulfide in the vapor phaseabove residual fuel oils in storage tanks can result in healthhazards, violation
20、of local occupational health and safetyregulations, and public complaint. An additional concern iscorrosion that can be caused by the presence of H2S duringrefining or other activities. Control measures to maintain safelevels of H2S require a precise method for the measurement ofpotentially hazardou
21、s levels of H2S in fuel oils. (WarningSafety. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a very dangerous, toxic,explosive and flammable, colorless and transparent gas whichcan be found in crude oil and can be formed during themanufacture of the fuel at the refinery and can be releasedduring handling, storage, and d
22、istribution. At very lowconcentrations, the gas has the characteristic smell of rotteneggs. However, at higher concentrations, it causes a loss ofsmell, headaches, and dizziness, and at very highconcentrations, it causes instantaneous death. It is stronglyrecommended that personnel involved in the t
23、esting for hydro-gen sulfide are aware of the hazards of vapor-phase H2S andhave in place appropriate processes and procedures to managethe risk of exposure.)5.2 This test method was developed so refiners, fuel termi-nal operators, and independent testing laboratory personnel canrapidly and precisel
24、y measure the amount of H2S in residualfuel oils and distillate blend stocks, with a minimum oftraining, in a wide range of locations.5.3 Test Method D5705 provides a simple and consistentfield test method for the rapid determination of H2Sintheresidual fuel oils vapor phase. However it does not nec
25、essarilysimulate the vapor phase H2S concentration of a fuel storagetank nor does it provide any indication of the liquid phase H2Sconcentration.5.4 Test Method D6021 does measure the H2S concentra-tion of H2S in the liquid phase, however it requires a laboratoryand a skilled operator to perform the
26、 complex procedure andcalculations, and does not offer any reproducibility data. Thistest method (D7621) offers a 15 min automated test, simplicity,full precision, and a degree of portability.5.5 H2S concentrations in the liquid and vapor phase at-tempt to reach equilibrium in a static system. Howev
27、er, thisequilibrium and the related liquid and vapor concentrations canvary greatly depending on temperature and the chemicalcomposition of the liquid phase. The equilibrium of the vaporphase is disrupted the moment a vent or access point is openedto collect a sample.6. Apparatus6.1 GeneralThe appar
28、atus, as detailed in Annex A1,comprises an air pump, test vessel, heating jacket, filters, H2Sspecific detector, integral computer, automatic solenoid valvesand gas flow detectors.6.1.1 Procedure A requires the use of a vapor phase proces-sor capable of cooling a specific filter cartridge (see 7.4)

The oven shallbe of a type suitable for use with volatile materials.6.6 Pipette, 1 mL positive displacement pipette, for theintrod
31、uction of the test specimen. The accuracy as stated by themanufacturer should be typically 60.25 %.6.7 Disposable Syringe, 5 mL or 10 mL, for the introductionof the test specimen.

Sampling and Test Specimen Preparation8.1 Unless other
35、wise agreed, samples shall be taken inaccordance with Practice D4057.8.1.1 During sampling operations, care shall be taken toensure that the integrity of the material is maintained and thepossible loss of H2S is kept to a minimum. The precision of thismethod is critically dependent on the sampling,
36、thermalhistory, and handling of the test sample.8.1.2 Collect the sample directly in a suitable clean H2Sinert container, of a minimum volume of 500 mL, with animpervious gas-tight closure. Suitable containers include am-ber glass bottles and epoxy lined containers. The closureaperture shall allow t
37、he drawing of a test specimen with thesyringe or pipette (see 6.7 and 6.6).8.1.2.1 Epoxy lined containers shall be visually inspected toensure that the lining has not been damaged and that thecontainers are not dented.8.1.3 To ensure sample integrity fill the sample container toapproximately 95 % fu
38、ll and cap immediately.8.1.4 Where samples are drawn in a manner which does notminimize vapor loss (for example, continuous drip sampling)collect a dedicated sample for H2S determination.8.1.5 When samples cannot be collected directly into thesample container, transfer the sample from the sampling d
39、eviceinto the sample container and ensure that H2S loss is kept to aminimum.NOTE 2The precision has not been determined for smaller volumecontainers.8.2 If a dedicated H2S sample cannot be taken, then the H2Smeasurement shall be the first test carried out on the sample asany additional handling can
40、lead to loss of H2S and low results.8.3 Take the samples to the laboratory as soon as ispracticable after sampling. Test immediately if possible. Ifsamples are not tested immediately, store in a cool place suchas a refrigerator (6.4), and analyze within 3 days aftersampling.8.4 Test Specimen Prepara
41、tionTo minimize the loss ofH2S gas, do not homogenize or transfer the sample to anothercontainer, and avoid shaking the sample before taking a testspecimen.8.4.1 The sample needs to be flowing freely enough to allowthe test specimen to be drawn into the syringe or pipette (see6.7 and 6.6).8.4.1.1 A
42、sample that is not free flowing at ambient tem-perature shall be gently warmed in a water bath or oven (see6.5) set at a temperature not exceeding 40C.8.4.2 Samples with viscosities greater than 3000 mm2s-1at50C may be tested, but the precision has not been determined.NOTE 3It has been found that sa
43、mples with a viscosity over 500mm2s-1, at 50C, usually require warming.8.4.3 By using a smaller volume of sample it is possible toextend the range of the instrument to over 200 mg/kg but theprecision has not been determined.9.
