To minimizeor prevent the failure of silver alloy in-tank sender units bytarnish or corrosion, Specification D4814 requires that fuelsshall pass a silver strip corrosion test.6. Apparatus6.1 Silver Strip Corrosion Pressure Vessel (Procedure A),
18、constructed from stainless steel according to dimensions givenin Fig. 1, as described in Test Method D130. The vessel shallbe capable of withstanding a test pressure of 700 kPa (100 psi).Alternative designs for the vessels cap and synthetic rubbergasket may be used provided that the internal dimensi
19、ons of thevessel are the same as shown in Fig. 1, which allow a nominal25 by 150 mm (1 by 6 in.) test tube (see 6.2) and the SSCD (see6.4) to be placed inside the pressure vessel.6.2 Test Tubes, of borosilicate glass of nominal 25 by150 mm (1 by 6 in.) dimensions, preferably graduated at 30 mLvolume
20、.5,6The internal dimensions shall be checked as accept-able by use of a silver strip (see 7.4). When 30 mL of sampleis added to the test tube with the silver strip in it, a minimumof 5 mm of liquid shall be above the top surface of the strip.6.3 Test Bath, General, whether liquid or solid, the test
21、bathshall be able to maintain the test temperature to within 61C(2F) of the required test temperature. It is recommended thatbaths be placed inside a fume-hood.6.3.1 Bath, shall be fitted with suitable supports to hold eachtest tube (see 6.2) in a vertical position to a depth of about 100mm (4 in.)
22、as measured from the bottom of the test tube to thebath surface.6.3.2 Bath Medium, as a liquid bath medium, both water andoil have been found to be satisfactory and controllable at thespecified test temperature and duration required by the testprocedure.6.3.3 Solid Block Bath, made of aluminum, shal
23、l meet thetest temperature control, test duration, and immersion condi-tions required by the test procedure, and shall be verified, atleast annually, for temperature measurement (heat transfer) byrunning tests on tubes filled with 30 mL of product plus a thinsilver strip of the given nominal dimensi
24、ons, plus a tempera-ture sensor.6.3.3.1 Wells provided in the solid block bath to accommo-date pressure vessels (see Fig. 1) shall be of the followingdimensions: 54 mm (218 in.) diameter from top, up to a depthof 70 mm (234 in.) continuing with an opening of 38 mm(112 in.) diameter up to a depth of

Anopening of 8 mm (516 in.) diameter by 210 mm (814 in.)depth shall be provided in the center of the block for immersionof a metal temperature sensor (connected to a suitable 50 61C (122 6 2F) temperature controller), or thermometer (see6.5).6.3.3.2 Wells provided in the solid bloc
26、k bath to accommo-date test tubes shall be of the following dimensions: 20 mm(1116 in.) diameter by 140 mm (512 in.) deep. An opening of8 mm (516 in.) diameter by 210 mm (814 in.) depth shall beprovided in the center of the block for immersion of a metaltemperature sensor (connected to a suitable 50
27、 6 1C (122 62F) temperature controller), or thermometer (see 6.5).6.3.3.3 Provide insulation made of 25.4 mm (1.0 in.) thickfiberglass with aluminum backing (or, similar insulation) tocover all the four sides of the solid block bath.6.4 Silver Strip Centering Device (SSCD),6,7made of ma-terial which
28、 is gasoline-compatible at 50C (122F) for theduration of the test, such as Acetal Resin, White Nylon 6/6, orPTFE. See details in A1.1(Assembly View) and A1.2 (Indi-vidual Parts View). Length of SSCD inside the test tube is suchthat the lower edge of the assembled silver strip is about 22 mm(78 in.)
29、from the bottom of the test tube.6.5 Temperature Sensing and Monitoring Device (TSMD),capable of sensing and monitoring the desired test temperaturein the bath to within an accuracy of 61C (2F).
