Aniline Point Test Apparatus: Instruction Manual FOR

This document provides instructions for using an aniline point test apparatus to determine the aniline point of an oil sample. The apparatus includes a stand, heater unit, glass bath, clamp to hold the U tube, and lighting system. The procedure involves mixing 5ml each of the dried oil sample and aniline in the U tube, heating or cooling as needed, and noting the temperature at which the mixture becomes cloudy, which is the aniline point. The determination should be repeated until a constant value is obtained. Results of duplicate tests should not differ by more than 0.2°C for repeatability or 0.5°C for reproducibility.

ANILINE POINT TEST


APPARATUS

ANILINE POINT TEST APPARATUS


AIM:
To determine Aniline point by U tube method. IP-2 method – ‘D’.

THEORY:
The Aniline point of an oil is the lowest temperature at which the oil is
completely miscible with an equal volume of aniline.

ANILINE:
Normally pure n-heptanes may be used as aniline.

APPARATUS:
The following parts are supplied with instruments.
1. Stand for clamping elect. Stirrer motor
2. Heater unit with electric control system.
3. Glass bath (jar)
4. Clamp for Holding U tube
5. Glass U tube
6. Lighting system

Optional Accessories to be required with instrument:


• Pipette for suction of liquid
• Thermometer
• Aniline solution

Assembly of instruments:
• First fix up lighting system in vertical rod.
• Fix up clamp for holding U tube
• Then fix up elect FHP motor stirrer on Rod
• Set up Heater unit and glass water bath in its position.
• Fix up U tube properly in clamp.

Dry each sample to be tested by shaking it for at least 2 min. with


anhydrous sodium sulphate and allowing it to stand for at least an hour.

PROCEDURE:

➢ Clean and dry the app thoroughly. Pipette 5ml. of the dried sample
and 5 ml of Aniline into the test tube: if the sample is too viscous to
pipette, weigh into the test tube to the nearest 0.01g an amount
corresponding to 5ml at room temperature. Assemble the cork,
stirrer and thermometer so that the bottom of the thermometer
bulb is 5mm from the bottom of the test tube and central with
respect to the ring of the stirrer. Support the test tube
concentrically in the jacket so that it is approximately 20mm above
the bottom of the jacket. Stir the mixture rapidly but avoid
splashing and the inclusion of air bubbles as much as possible.
➢ If the aniline and the sample are not miscible at room temperature,
heat them in the heating bath with stirring, until complete
miscibility is obtained. Remove the app. From the bath and allow
the solution to cool, with stirring, at a rate not exceeding 1°C/min.,
Note as the approximate aniline point, the temperature at which
the mixture becomes cloudy as to obscure the thermometer bulb
by reflected light.
➢ If the aniline and the sample are miscible at room temp. cool the
solution in the cooling bath, with stirring, until it becomes opaque.
Remove the app. From the bath and allow the mixture to warm at a
arte not exceeding 1°C/Min. stirring constantly until the
thermometer bulb can be seen by reflected light. Note this temp.
as the approx. aniline pt.
➢ Repeat the determination using fresh quantities of aniline and
sample in clean, dry app., and continue alternately heating and
cooling the mixture until a constant value for aniline pt. is
obtained, taking care to avoid over-cooling or overheating.

REPORTING:
Report the constant value obtained as the Aniline PT.IP 2 Method A

PRECISION
Results of duplicate tests should not differ by more than the
following Amounts:

Repeatability Re -produce ability

0.2° C 0.5° C
