4、ouslycalibrated by the TMC. In general, the Test Purchaser decides if a calibrated test stand is to be used.Organizations such as the American Chemistry Council require that a laboratory utilize the TMCservices as part of their test registration process. In addition, the American Petroleum Institute

5、 (API)and the Gear Lubricant Review Committee of the Lubricant Review Institute (SAE International)require that a laboratory use the TMC services in seeking qualification of oils against theirspecifications.The advantage of using the TMC services to calibrate test stands is that the test laboratory

6、(andhence the Test Purchaser) has an assurance that the test stand was operating at the proper level of testseverity. It should also be borne in mind that results obtained in a non-calibrated test stand may notbe the same as those obtained in a test stand participating in the ASTM TMC services proce

7、ss.Laboratories that choose not to use the TMC services may simply disregard these portions.ASTM International policy is to encourage the development of test procedures based on genericequipment. It is recognized that there are occasions where critical/sole-source equipment has beenapproved by the t

8、echnical committee (surveillance panel/task force) and is required by the testprocedure. The technical committee that oversees the test procedure is encouraged to clearly identifyif the part is considered critical in the test procedure. If a part is deemed to be critical, ASTMencourages alternative

9、suppliers to be given the opportunity for consideration of supplying the criticalpart/component providing they meet the approval process set forth by the technical committee.An alternative supplier can start the process by initiating contact with the technical committee(current chairs shown on ASTM

10、TMC website). The supplier should advise on the details of the partthat is intended to be supplied. The technical committee will review the request and determinefeasibility of an alternative supplier for the requested replacement critical part. In the event that areplacement critical part has been i

46、.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The internal combustion engine with a displacement of3.6 L is installed on a dynamometer test stand equipped withthe appropriate controls for speed, torque, and various otheroperating parameters.4.2 The test method consists of measuring the laboratoryengine brake specif

47、ic fuel consumption at six constant speed/torque/temperature conditions for the baseline calibration oil,test oil, and a repeat of the baseline calibration oil. Theapproximate test length is 197 h.4.3 Aged test oil is compared directly to fresh VIE BL(baseline oil) SAE 20W-30 (see X1.2) baseline cal

48、ibration oilthat is run before and after the test oil. When changing fromtest oil to baseline oil, an intermediate flush with specialflushing oil (FO) is required to minimize the possibility of acarryover effect from the previous oil.4.4 Test results are expressed as a percent change inweighted fuel

49、 consumption relative to the baseline calibrationoil.5. Significance and Use5.1 Test MethodThe data obtained from the use of this testmethod provide a comparative index of the fuel-saving capa-bilities of automotive engine oils under repeatable laboratoryconditions. A BL has been established for this test to provide astandard against which all other oils can be compared. The BLoil is an SAE 20W-30 grade fully formulated lubricant. Thetest procedure was not designed to give a precise estimate ofthe difference between two test oils without adequate replica-tion.
