(9) Pensky-Martens Flashpoint Tester.

(a) Description. The Pensky-Martens flashpoint

tester is designed and manufactured in accordance with ASTM D-93.

The apparatus consists of an electric heater with a three-heater

switch, controlling rheostat, pilot lamp, stirrer and motor, a closed

flash-cup mounted in an air bath, shutter, test flame burner, pilot

burner and thermometers.

(b) Operating Instructions. Complete instructions

for operating the Pensky-Martens flashpoint tester are described in

ASTM D-93. No other special instructions are required.

(10) Copper Strip Corrosion Apparatus.

(a) Description. The copper strip corrsion apparatus

(fig. 2-8) is designed to meet the requirements of ASTM D-130. The

apparatus consists of a constant temperature bath having a temper-

ature range from room-temperature to 109.4 degrees C to 110.6 degrees

C), openings for four test bombs, four rubber stoppers, a thermometer

well, copper Soxhlet condenser, thermostat and drain plug. It is

also provided with two test bombs and an ASTM 12F thermometer having

a range of minus 5 degrees F to plus 215 degrees F (-20.6 degrees C

to 101.7 degrees C). The overall dimensions of the apparatus is 7-

inches wide by 12-1/2 inches deep by 24 inches high (17.8 cm x 31.75

cm x 62.4 cm) and requires a minimum of 750 watts.

(b) Operating Instructions.

Fill the bath with water through the bomb

hole.

2. Connect the power cord and turn the line

switch to ON to heat the constant temperature bath to operating

temperature.

3. Adjust the bath to the desired temperature by

turning the graduated dial on the thermostat.

4. When the bath has reached the desired temper-

ature, remove the rubber stoppers, insert the bombs through the

openings into the rack provided and replace the rubber stoppers.

5. Connect a cooling waterline to one of the

small tubes on the condenser and connect a drain line to the other.

This will condense the steam coming from the bath and return the

condensate to the bath. If the water supply is insufficient to

operate the condenser, vent the steam directly into the atmosphere.

(11) Fuel Systems Icing Inhibitor Test Equipment. If the

laboratory facility is required to determine fuel systems icing

inhibitor (FSII) in hydrocarbon fuels, the apparatus, reagents and

materials indicated in methods FTSM 5327.3 and FTSM 5340 should be

procured as applicable. Enough glassware whould be procured to

permit six tests to be performed simultaneously. If a sample of the
