Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONInvert emulsion hydraulic fluids typically contain 60 % mineral oil and 40
3、 % water (by volume).These fluids routinely are prepared using proprietary, oil-soluble, emulsifying agents, as well as otheremulsifiable constituents. They are recommended for use where conditions indicate a low-cost, fireretardant product, compatible with water-based metal working fluids.The high
4、water content of these hydraulic fluids makes them susceptible to microbial attack.Uncontrolled microbial growth in these fluids can cause cartridge filter unit plugging, maladorousconditions, or general biodeterioration. Problem microorganisms associated with these fluids includebacteria and fungi.
5、The hydraulic system is essentially a closed one in which water of evaporation is added to maintaina fixed volume. The inclusion of an efficacious preservative in the water containing hydraulic fluidscan prevent microbial growth and the resulting problems that follow.1. Scope*1.1 This laboratory pra
6、ctice is designed to evaluate theutility and effectiveness of antimicrobial agents intended tocontrol microbial growth in invert emulsions and other watercontaining hydraulic fluids.NOTE 1Procedures for preparation of water soluble hydraulic fluidsand recovery of organisms appear in Practice E 2169.

Summary
13、 of Test Method4.1 The antimicrobial agent to be evaluated is incorporatedinto an emulsion system by (a) addition to the aqueous phaseemployed in the preparation of the emulsion, (b) in doses to theformulated system, or (c) by other methods suitable for the testcompound.4.2 A heavy bacterial or fung
14、al inoculum, or both, is thenadded.4.3 The resulting mixture is aerated and passed over thesurface of a simulated filter system for a minimum period ofeight weeks either continuously or with shutdowns to simulateactual operations conditions.4.4 The degree of microbial control is determined byperiodi
15、cally quantifying the bioburden in the emulsion bydirect microscopic count (Test Method D 4454), plate count(Practice D 5465), or other appropriate method (Guide E 1326)and visual observations for microbial fouling of the simulatedfilter surface.NOTE 2A knowledge of standard microbiological techniqu
16、es is re-quired for this procedure. It is also required that good laboratory practicesbe followed throughout these tests. This means appropriate containmentfor the microbiological systems being evaluated. The systems should bemaintained in an enclosure so that during the aeration process the mistsan
17、d aerosols generated do not contaminate the laboratory environment.5.

Preparation
39、of Simulated Filters8.1 Cut the epoxy-coated,14-in. mesh gutter strainers 16 by18 in. mesh fiberglass screening material into 3 by 5 in.sections. Secure the screening to the strainers with 20-gagewire or with staples.8.2 Preparation of AeratorsCut tubing (see 6.7) into13-in. sections. Bend tubing in
40、 a circle and connect both endsusing a T connector (see 6.8). Connect third arm of T connectorto a 20-in. length of tygon tubing. This tubing will beconnected to the main air supply line.

41、ubing which forms the ring. Alsopunch similar holes12 in. apart on the upper and lower surfaceof the tubing, at right angles to the holes previously punched.These holes allow the air from the air source to bubble upthrough the hydraulic fluid producing a cascading effect overthe surface of the simul
42、ated filter.9. Preparation of Microbiological Medium9.1 Microbiological media should be prepared in accor-dance with manufacturers instructions. Media to be aug-mented with antibiotics should be annealed in a 46 6 2Cwater bath before antibiotics are added. Antibiotics should beadded just before pour
