1、Designation:D1401121Standard Test Method forWater Separability of Petroleum Oils and Synthetic Fluids1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1401;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision
2、.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()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.1NOTESubsection 11.1 was corrected editorially in October 2015
3、.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers measurement of the ability ofpetroleum oils or synthetic fluids to separate from water.Although developed specifically for steam-turbine oils havingviscosities of 28.8 mm2/s to 90 mm2/s at 40 C,this testmethod may be used to test oils of other types having variou
4、sviscosities and synthetic fluids at other test temperatures.It isrecommended,however,that the test temperature be raised to82 C 6 1 C when testing products more viscous than90 mm2/s at 40 C.For higher viscosity oils where there isinsufficient mixing of oil and water,Test Method D2711 isrecommended.
5、Other test temperatures such as 25 C may alsobe used.A1%sodium choloride(NaCl)solution or syntheticseawater may be used in place of distilled water when testingcertain oils or fuels used in marine applications.1.2 When testing synthetic fluids whose relative densitiesare greater than that of water,t
6、he procedure is unchanged,butit should be noted that the water will probably float on theemulsion or liquid.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concer
7、ns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.For specificwarning statements,see Section 6.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2
