1、Designation:D322820Standard Test Method forTotal Nitrogen in Lubricating Oils and Fuel Oils by ModifiedKjeldahl Method1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3228;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year
2、 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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers the deter
3、mination of nitrogen inlubricating oils when present in the concentration from 0.03%to 0.10%by mass,and for the determination of nitrogen in fueloils when present in the concentration from 0.015%to 2.0%by mass.This test method is also applicable to the analysis ofadditive concentrates and additive p
4、ackages.NOTE1This test method may not be applicable to certain materialscontaining NO or NN linkage.However,the samples used in thecooperative program to establish the precision of the test method werecompounded with currently available ashless additives containing nitro-gen.Complete recovery of the
