1、Designation: D1742 06 (Reapproved 2013)Standard Test Method forOil Separation from Lubricating Grease During Storage1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1742; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the yea
2、r of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the
3、 determination of the ten-dency of a lubricating grease to separate oil during storage inboth normally filled and partially filled containers.1.2 This test method is not suitable for greases softer thanNLGI No. 1 grade.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard, except for the d
4、imensions in Fig. 2 and Fig. 5, whereinch-pound units are standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the ap
5、plica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use. For a specifichazard statement, see 7.1.2.

The general require-ments are that the solid particles be extremely small, uniformlydispersed, and capable of forming a relatively stable, gel-likestructure with the liquid lubricant.3.1.3 oil separation, nthe appearance
9、 of a liquid fractionfrom an otherwise homogeneous lubricating composition.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The sample of grease, supported on a 75-m (No. 200)sieve, is subjected to 1.72 kPa (0.25 psi) air pressure for 24 hat 25C (77F).Any oil seepage that occurs drains into a beakerand is weighed.5. Si
10、gnificance and Use5.1 When a lubricating grease separates oil, the remainingcomposition increases in consistency. This can affect the abilityof the product to function as designed.5.2 It has been found that the results of this test correlatedirectly with the oil separation that occurs in 35-lb pails
11、 ofgrease during storage.5.3 This test method is not intended to predict oil separationtendencies of the grease under dynamic conditions.6.

Amanometer, or other suitable pressure indicating device, and apressure relief valve to protect
20、against pressure surge should beincluded in the pressure system.7. Reagents7.1 Mineral Spirits, (WarningCombustible. Vapor harm-ful.)8. Sampling8.1 The sample presented for analysis should be largeenough to make possible the selection of a representativeportion for testing.8.2 Examine for any indica
21、tion of non-homogeneity such asoil separation, phase changes or gross contamination. If anyabnormal conditions are found, obtain a new sample.9. Preparation of Apparatus9.1 Thoroughly clean the strainer, cup, and oil-collectingbeaker with mineral spirits and follow by air drying.9.2 Carefully inspec
22、t the sieve to make certain that there isno build-up which would affect the passage of oil. The sievemust also be free of any surface irregularities such as creases,dents, or punctures. Replace, if necessary.9.3 The funnel must be clean and free of any residues whichcan retard the flow of oil.9.4 In
23、spect the cover and cup for any dents or distortions tothe mating surfaces which can interfere with a tight sealbetween the units.9.5 When the O-ring seal shows wear it must be replaced.10. Procedure10.1 Place the strainer, screen side up, in the funnel and tarethe assembly to the nearest 0.05 g. By
24、 means of a spatula,completely fill the space between the screen and the top of thefunnel with grease. The volume occupied by the grease shallhave a depth of 12.7 6 0.3 mm (0.506 0.01 in.). Avoidunnecessary working and entrainment of air. Use a straightedge to remove excess grease and provide a leve
25、l surface.Avoid forcing any of the grease through the screen. Determinethe mass of the sample to the nearest 0.05 g.10.2 Place the tared beaker in the positioning retainer at thecenter of the bottom cup, and assemble the entire apparatus asindicated in Fig. 1. By means of a suitable length of rubber
26、tubing, connect the source of air to the air inlet fitting in thecover.10.3 Bring the apparatus and the sample to 25 6 1C (776 2F). Before starting the test, regulate the air pressure to1.72 6 0.07 kPa (0.25 6 0.01 psi) and continue the test for 24h at this pressure and temperature.10.4 At the end o
27、f the test, weigh the beaker containing thecollected oil to the nearest 0.05 g and record.11. Report11.1 Report the mass of the oil separated as a percentage ofthe total mass of the grease sample.
