6 Vapour pressure Vapour pressure is an important physical parameter which must be monitored in the manufacture and use of many fluids. It is defined as the pressure at which a liquid and its vapour are in equilibrium at a definite temperature. Vapour pressure is critical to quality control and the performance of both automobile and aviation gasolines. It affects start up, warm up, tendency to vapour lock and provides an indirect measure of potential emission levels. Vapour pressure affects the drying time of solvent-based products and is often important in identifying potential safety characteristics when a liquid, such as crude oil, is stored or transported.

FBT analysis is achieved by measuring the pressure differential across a disposable filter. Fuels which have a high FBT could potentially block filters in the distribution network or during use in a vehicle or power plant. The MFT is also used to determine the FBT for Biofuels which have been cold soaked at a temperature just above zero celsius. During the 16 hour cold soak particles of saturated monoglycerides and sterol glucosides can be formed which do not dissolve when the temperature is raised back to ambient. The MFT procedure is able to detect fuels containing these particles. PC software enables the pressure versus time plots to be stored dynamically, compared against one another and output in a variety of formats to enable data analysis in Excel for example.

11 Laboratory instruments for quality control, analysis and calibration Oxidation Characteristics Oxidation stability provides an indication of the service life of a petroleum product and the potential for the product to deteriorate in the presence of oxygen. The oxidation process can produce acids which lead to corrosion and sludge that can block filters. Fuels and Lubricating oils require different test techniques, many are designed to accelerate the oxidation process by the use of higher temperatures and pressures. A number of instruments are available from Seta to determine the oxidation stability of a product and a small sample is shown below, more can be found on the Seta website.

FIJI uniquely utilises state of the art FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy) technology and a patented sample preparation system which allows FAME detection accuracy down to the 10mg/kg level. FIJI can be used as a field or lab based screening tool to give a quick indication of possible FAME contamination that may then necessitate further investigations. The instrument can be used to prevent expensive testing and avoid costly delays of fuel release. The FIJI instrument is robust, extremely simple to use and is fully automatic so no specialist operator training is involved. Tests require less than 50ml of sample and typically take under 20 minutes. Results are presented in mg/kg units together with an optional traffic light system for flagging FAME contamination levels of the fuel. By comparison current analytical tests can take many hours, require complex equipment and demand high skill levels. Using a unique sample preparation module the sample is pumped at a controlled flow rate though a proprietary disposable cartridge. The sample components are spectrally analysed by the FTIR and a result is displayed in mg/kg and a graphical spectrum is also shown. The system is self-cleaning so no solvents are required. After each test the cartridge is simply and easily replaced and the instrument is immediately ready for the next sample.

21 Water Separation Characteristics Water separation characteristics rate the ease with which a fuel, or fuel-additive combination, will release entrained or emulsified water when passed through a coalescer-type water separator. The water coalescing property of filter materials is reduced by chemicals in the fuel called surfactants, or surface active agents. The presence of surfactants is problematic as it inhibits the ability of the filter to remove water droplets from aviation turbine fuel. Laboratory Instruments for quality control, analysis and calibration Laboratory instruments for quality control, analysis and calibration Water Separation Instrument - WSI (SA9000-0) ASTM D8073 Substantial cost saving per test Fully automated sample handling Simple operation for non-chemists Patented Ultra Sonic Mixer 10 minute test duration Minimal operator time required (under 3 minutes) Sonic mixing sequences providing consistent water droplet size & stable emulsion Featuring an API/EI th edition filter material High resolution optical water detector measuring to <1ppm water concentration The WSI is designed to predict filter coalescer failure. The instrument is fully automatic with simple touch screen operation. The WSI features a patented Sonic Mixing Technology which eliminates any variables with water droplet size and ensures the same amount of energy is applied to each sample. Filter cartridges use API/EI th edition filter material which is less sensitive to weak surfactants and eliminates uncertainty over static dissipator additives, but is responsive to the presence of ester based additives. The instrument is fully automatic with simple touch screen operation for 3 step testing. 1. Pour sample into the test beaker and fit filter cartridge 2. Enter sample, operator and filter ID s using the simple user friendly interface 3. Press Start Whilst in operation the sample is emulsified with dyed water using the ultra sonic mixer. Once emulsified the sample is passed through the filter cartridge to remove any entrained water and then to the detector. Results are calculated from the detector reading and displayed on the screen as the Water Separation Index (WSI). A high WSI, such as 100, indicates the sample coalesces and is relatively free of surfactants.
