1、Designation:D198213(Reapproved 2017)Standard Test Method forTiter of Fatty Acids1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1982;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parenthe
2、ses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the solidi-fication(titer)point of fatty acids and is applicable to all fattyacids.1.2 The values stated in SI u
3、nits 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,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and enviro

6、y at a higher temperaturethan unsaturated fatty acids.This test method provides a meansof measuring the solidification temperature of a sample con-taining both unsaturated and saturated fatty acids by coolingthe specimen and measuring the temperature at which solidi-fication occurs.3.2 Samples conta
7、ining higher levels of saturated acids willhave a higher titer(solidification temperature)than those withlower levels of saturated acids.3.3 Water present in the sample will raise the titer,soprovisions are made in the test method to remove traces ofmoisture.4.Apparatus4.1 Beaker,Griffin low-form,2-

9、 to be filled.4.4 Stirrer,2 to 3 mm in outside diameter,with one end bentin the form of a loop 20 mm in outside diameter.Glass orstainless steel wire may be used.The upper end can be formedto accommodate hand stirring or to be attached to a mechanicalstirrer.4.5 Laboratory Thermometer,having a range
10、 from 0 to150C.4.6 Titer Test ThermometerAn ASTM Titer Test Ther-mometer having a range from 2 to+68C and conforming tothe requirements for Thermometer 36C as prescribed in Speci-fication E1.Thermometric devices such as RTDs,thermistorsand liquid-in-glass thermometers of equal or better accuracy int
11、he specified temperature range,may be used.NOTE1Thermometers conforming to the requirements for the AOCSTiter Thermometer(AOCS Specification H 6-40)meet these require-ments.5.Procedure5.1 Heat the sample on a hot plate to 130C to remove tracesof moisture,and fill a test tube(see 4.3)to a height of 5
12、7 mmfrom the bottom.5.1.1 Do not hold the sample at 130C nor reheat to thistemperature more than once.If excessive moisture is present,allow the water to settle,decant the fatty acids,and then refilterand reheat.The acids must be dry and free of suspended matter.1This test method is under the jurisd
