DIGESTION PROCEDURE FOR OILS
1. Transfer 0.25 g or
less of sample into a
100-mL Digesdahl
digestion flask; see
Sample and Analysis
Vo lu me Tabl es f or O i ls
following this
procedure.
Note: Take care to
ensure you have a
homogenous sample.
2. Add 4 mL
concentrated sulfuric
acid (spec. gravity 1.84)
to the digestion flask.
Note: UseonlyHach
Digesdahl digestion flasks.
Volumetric flasks with
concave bottom should not
be used.
Note: Safety glasses and
a safety shield placed
between the operator and
the Digesdahl are required.
3. Turn the temperature
dial to a heat setting of
440 ° C(825°F). When
the proper temperature is
reached, turn on the
water to the aspirator
andmakesurethereis
suction to the
fractionating column.
Note: Wait for the proper
temperaturetobereached
before sample is placed on
the heater.
4. Place the flask weight
followed by the
fractionating column
with funnel on the flask.
Place the flask on the
heater and boil 4
minutes. Do not boil to
dryness!If sulfuric acid
is not present in the
flask after the boiling
period, do not proceed
to Step 5! Discard the
sample and use more
sulfuric acid for the
digestion procedure in
Step 2. Or choose a
smaller sample size for
digestion from the
Sample and Analysis
Volume Tables for Oils,
following this procedure.
Note: If sample foams up
into the neck of the flask,
lower temperature to
335° C (635 ° F). Continue
heating at lower
temperature until all
water is evaporated. Then
return to original
digestion temperature.
