1、Designation:D715115Standard Test Method forDetermination of Elements in Insulating Oils by InductivelyCoupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry(ICP-AES)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7151;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption
2、 or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method describes the determination of metalsand contaminants in insulatin
3、g oils by inductively coupledplasma atomic emission spectrometry(ICP-AES).The specificelements are listed in Table 1.This test method is similar toTest Method D5185,but differs in methodology,which resultsin the greater sensitivity required for insulating oil applica-tions.1.2 This test method uses
4、oil-soluble metals for calibrationand does not purport to quantitatively determine insolubleparticulates.Analytical results are particle size dependent,andlow results are obtained for particles larger than severalmicrometers.21.3 This test method determines the dissolved metals(whichcan originate fr
5、om overheating or arcing,or both)and a portionof the particulate metals(which generally originate from awear mechanism).While this ICP method detects nearly allparticles less than several micrometers,the response of largerparticles decreases with increasing particle size because largerparticles are
6、less likely to make it through the nebulizer andinto the sample excitation zone.1.4 This test method includes an option for filtering the oilsample for those users who wish to separately determinedissolved metals and particulate metals(and hence,totalmetals).1.5 Elements present at concentrations ab
7、ove the upper limitof the calibration curves can be determined with additional,appropriate dilutions and with no degradation of precision.1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.7 This standard does not purport to a
8、ddress all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and to determine theapplicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3C1109 Practice
