Determination of acidic constituents in petroleum products and lubricants by potentiometric titration. The total acid number TAN is the quantity of base, expressed in milligrams of potassium hydroxide, that is required to neutralize all acidic constituents present in 1 g of sample.
Appliances
Titrator: TitroLine® 7000 or TL 7750 with 5 or 10 ml unit
Magnetic stirrer: TM 235 other appliances: printer/USB memory stick or Titrisoft
Titration agent: KOH 0,1 mol/L in isoprop. Standardisation: with potassium hydrogen phthalate standard
Description
Preparation and standardization of the alcoholic KOH solution
Add 6 g of KOH to approximately 1 L of anhydrous isopropyl alcohol. Boil gently for 10 min to effect solution. Allow the solution to stand for 2 days and then filter through a fine sentered-glass funnel. Store the solution in a chemical resistant bottle and protect the solution for CO2 with a guard tube containing soda lime. Standardize with exact weighed quantities of 0.2 g of potassium hydrogen phthalate. Add 80 ml CO2 free water. Ready to use solutions are recommended. Use the method Titer KOH.
Repeat the standardization two times. The average value is stored automatically in the exchangeable unit.

Application Blank value of the solvent mixture Add 125 mL of the titration solvent into the beaker. Place the beaker on the magnetic stirrer and start the titration method. After titration rinse the electrode and burette tip with solvent, then with water, then again with solvent in a beaker for appr. 1 minute. Use method: BLANK TAN
Repeat the blank titration one time. The average value can be stored in a global memory e.g. M01 (TAN blank) which have to create before.
Titration Weigh the sample in a 250 mL beaker and add 125 mL of the titration solution to the sample. The sample weight should be calculated and selected that the titration amount is not more than 4 ml because of the long titration time.
Place the beaker on the magnetic stirrer and start the titration method (TAN). After the titration rinse the electrode and burette tip with solvent, then with water (5 min), then again with solvent.
Maintenance of Electrodes If you use a combination electrode like N 6480 store the electrode in the LiCl/Ethanol electrolyte.
