2、umber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscriptepsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the pre-cip
3、itation number of steam cylinder stocks and black oils,andcan be used for other lubricating oils.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,a

7、icating oil are mixed with 90 mL of ASTM precipitationnaphtha,and centrifuged under the conditions of the test.4.Significance and Use4.1 Fully refined petroleum oils normally contain nonaphtha-insoluble material.Semirefined or black oils fre-quently contain some naphtha-insoluble material(sometimesr
8、eferred to as asphaltenes).This test measures the amount ofnaphtha-insoluble material in the oil.This quantity is reportedas the precipitation number.5.Apparatus5.1 Centrifuge Tube,cone-shaped,conforming to the di-mensions given in Fig.1,and made of thoroughly annealedglass.The graduations,numbered
9、as shown in Fig.1,shall beclear and distinct,and the mouth shall be constructed in a shapesuitable for closure with a cork.Scale-error tolerances andsmallest graduations between various calibration marks aregiven in Table 1 and apply to calibrations made with air-freewater at 20 C.5.2 Centrifuge,mee
10、ting all the safety requirements fornormal use and capable of whirling two or more filledcentrifuge tubes at a speed which can be controlled to give arelative centrifugal force(rcf)between 600 and 700 at the tipsof the tubes.The revolving head,trunnion rings,and trunnioncups,including the rubber cus
11、hion,shall be soundly con-structed to withstand the maximum centrifugal force capable ofbeing delivered by the power source.The trunnion cups andcushions shall firmly support the tubes when the centrifuge isin motion.The centrifuge shall be enclosed by a metal shield orcase strong enough to eliminat
12、e danger if any breakage occurs.Calculate the speed of the rotating head by means of thefollowing equation:speed,r/min5 1337=rcf/d(1)where:rcf=relative centrifugal force,andd=diameter of swing,in mm,measured between tips ofopposite tubes when in rotating position.Table 2 shows the relationship betwe
