Summary of Test Method3.1 Kinematic viscosity is measured at low temperature inaccordance with Test Method D 445 and at ti
7、me intervals of 3 hand 72 h.NOTE 1This test method was developed and the precision establishedon tests at 53.9C (65F). It is also applied at 40C (40F) and maybe used at other temperatures. Viscosities may be measured and reportedat other intervals as agreed by the contracting parties.4. Significance
8、 and Use4.1 Aircraft turbine lubricants, upon standing at low tem-peratures for prolonged periods of time, may show an increasein kinematic viscosity. This increase may cause lubricationproblems in aircraft engines. Thus, this test method is used toensure that the kinematic viscosity does not exceed
9、 themaximum kinematic viscosity in certain specifications foraircraft turbine lubricants.5. Apparatus5.1 Viscometers, drying tubes, low-temperature bath, ther-mometer, timer, secondary viscosity standard, filter, and clean-ing supplies are described in detail in Test Method D 445.5.2 ViscometerThe v
10、iscometer shall meet the require-ments of Test Method D 445 and be of the type in which thesample can be rerun without cleaning the viscometer. Suitableholders should be used. For convenience it is recommendedthat the viscometer size be chosen to keep the efflux timebetween 200 and 1000 s.5.3 Drying
11、 TubesFit the viscometer openings with dryingtubes filled with indicating silica gel, using cotton at top andbottom to hold the loosely packed desiccant in place. Providea cross-connection on the viscometer side of the drying tubes(which can be closed by a pinch clamp or stopcock while liquidis bein
12、g drawn into the efflux bulb) so that the restriction to airflow will not cause error. Replace the silica gel when alavender color is noticeable.5.4 Viscosity Temperature BathThe constant-temperaturebath must be capable of holding several viscometers at once. Itmust have adequate stirring of the liq
13、uid medium (Note 2) andbalance between heat losses such that the bath temperature canbe maintained at the required temperature 60.03C (60.05F).NOTE 2Isopropanol or other clear, low-freezing liquid may be used asa bath liquid.5.5 Low-Temperature Storage CabinetIf it is desired toexercise the option d

Procedure for Cleaning Viscometers and Filter Screen6.1 Apply air pressure or suction to the viscometer toremove any previous test specimen. Allow the viscometer todrain for 5 min.6.1.1 Wash the viscometer four times, ins
19、ide and out, withfresh toluene (WarningFlammable) using suction as re-quired. Allow the viscometer to drain.6.1.2 Wash the viscometer four times, inside and out, withacetone, and allow to drain for 5 min. Then dry with suction.6.1.3 Clean the viscometer thoroughly by filling it com-pletely with glas
20、s cleaning solution. Allow to drain for 5 min.6.1.4 Rinse viscometer inside and out with distilled wateruntil all traces of the cleaning solution are completely re-moved. Allow to drain for 5 min.6.1.5 Dry in oven at approximately 100C (212F).6.2 Clean the filter screen by first disassembling the sc
21、reen(if practicable).6.2.1 Rinse thoroughly with fresh toluene (WarningFlammable).6.2.2 Rinse thoroughly with fresh acetone (WarningFlammable).6.2.3 Dry in oven at approximately 100C (212F).7. Procedure7.1 For the duration of the test, maintain the bath tempera-ture at the required temperature 60.03
22、C (60.05F).7.2 Charge the clean, dry viscometer as prescribed in TestMethod D 445.7.2.1 Affix the drying tubes and carefully flush the moistroom air from the viscometer by placing vacuum to the dryingtubes. Draw the sample into the working capillary and timingbulb so as to preclude the possibility o
23、f any traces of residuemoisture condensing on the walls of the capillary and timingbulb while the sample cools to test temperature. Moisture mustnot be allowed to condense on the walls of the workingcapillary and efflux bulb.7.2.2 Place the viscometer in the constant-temperature bath,and vertically
24、align the viscometer if a self-aligning holder hasnot been used.7.2.3 Make the first determination of kinematic viscosity 356 1 min after the viscometer is placed in the bath. Measure theefflux time as specified in Test Method D 445. Be careful thatthe stopcock or pinch clamp joining each arm of the
25、 viscometerhas been opened to ensure that there is no effect of the dryingtubes on the efflux time.7.3 Measure the kinematic viscosity after standing3hattherequired temperature. Without removal of the viscometer fromthe constant-temperature bath, repeat the viscosity determina-tion (7.2.3)at3h6 5 mi
26、n after the completion of the initialviscosity determination.7.4 Measure the kinematic viscosity after standing 72 h atthe required temperature. Without removal of the viscometerfrom the constant-temperature bath (Note 3), repeat the viscos-ity determination (7.2.3)at72h6 5 min after the completiono
27、f the initial viscosity measurement (Note 1).NOTE 3If for some reason, such as unavailability of operator atten-tion, it becomes difficult or impractical to maintain the temperature of thebath within the specified 60.03C (60.05F) variations for the entire timerequired for completion of the 72-h test
28、, the bath may be put on automaticcontrol capable of holding the required temperature at 60.3C (60.5F).Optionally, the viscometer may be removed from the bath and placed inthe low-temperature storage cabinet or bath described in 5.5. In eithercase, the viscometer shall be returned to conditions of 0
29、.03C (60.05F)and held there for at least 35 min before the viscosity is to be measuredagain.8. Calculation8.1 Calculate the kinematic viscosity as follows:Kinematic viscosity, mm2/scSt!5Ct (1)where:C = calibration constant of the viscometer at the requiredtemperature, cSt/s, andt = efflux time, s.8.
30、2 Report the viscosity in centistokes at 35 min, 3 h, and 72h.8.3 Calculate the percent viscosity change as follows:Viscosity change, percent 5 100B 2 A!/A,or 100C 2 A!/A (2)whereA = viscosity at 35 min,B = viscosity at 3 h, andC = viscosity at 72 h.9. Precision and Bias9.1 PrecisionThe following cr
31、iteria should be used forjudging the acceptability of results at a 95 % confidence level.9.1.1 RepeatabilityThe difference between successive testresults obtained by the same apparatus under constant operat-ing conditions on identical test material would, in the long run,in the normal and correct op
32、eration of this test method exceed,after the 35-min period, the values shown on the repeatabilitycurve in Fig. 1 only in one case in twenty. Differences greaterthan this should be considered suspect.9.1.2 ReproducibilityThe difference between two singleand independent test results, obtained by diffe
33、rent operatorsworking in different laboratories on identical test materialwould, in the long run, in the normal and correct operation ofthis test method exceed, after the 35-min period, the valuesshown on the reproducibility curve in Fig. 1 only in one casein twenty. Differences greater than this sh
34、ould be consideredsuspect.3Viscosity standards for calibration of viscometers may be purchased at theCannon Instrument Co., State College, PA. Calibrated viscometers are alsocommercially available.D25320329.1.3 The precision of kinematic viscosity determinationsafter standing times in excess of 35 m
35、in has not been calculatedbecause it has been found that certain oils, while held instorage at 53.9C (65F), develop characteristics that causewide variations in observed kinematic viscosities.9.2 BiasSince there is no accepted reference materialsuitable for determining the bias for this test method,
36、 nostatement on bias is being made.10.
