General Requirements3.1 Engine coolant concentrates or prediluted glycol baseengin

32、e coolants shall be formulated with either ethylene glycolor propylene glycol meeting Specification E 1177, water, andshall contain suitable corrosion inhibitors, dye, and a foamsuppressor.3.2 Ethylene glycol base engine coolant concentrates (TypeI) may contain a maximum of 15 % other glycols, as lo

33、ng asthe physical, chemical, and performance requirements of thisspecification can be met. Similarly, prediluted ethylene glycolbase coolants (Type III) may contain a maximum of 7.5 %other glycols as long as all of the requirements of thisspecification can be met.3.3 Propylene glycol base engine coo

34、lant concentrates(Type II) may contain a combined maximum of 1 % otherglycols (less than 0.5 % for prediluted propylene glycol basecoolants, Type IV) and all of the physical, chemical, andperformance requirements of this specification must be met.3.4 All engine coolant concentrates or prediluted gly

35、colbase engine coolants shall conform to the general requirementsgiven in Table 1.3.5 Prediluted glycol base engine coolants shall be formu-lated using water that meets the following requirements:Property Specific Values ASTM Test MethodChlorides, ppm (grains/gal) 25 (1.5) max D 512, D 4327Sulfate,

However, if circumstancesr

37、equire addition and prediluted aqueous engine coolant is not available,use the appropriate engine coolant concentrate (Type I or II) diluted to 50volume % with water of at least the quality outlined in Table X1.1.3.6 When diluting engine coolant concentrates for actualservice, use a municipal (treat

38、ed) water, or a low-mineralcontent well water (see Appendix X1, Table X1.1). If suchwater is not available, use deionized (demineralized) or dis-tilled water. This procedure will minimize the formation ofhard water scale and avoid the introduction of mineral com-ponents, such as chlorides and sulfat

39、es, which can increase thecorrosion rate of aluminum and iron.3.7 When installed in accordance with the vehicle manufac-turers recommendations and those on the product label, enginecoolant concentrates or prediluted glycol base engine coolantsshall be suitable for use in a properly maintained coolin

40、gsystem (Appendix X1) in normal light-duty service for aminimum of one year without adversely affecting fluid flowand heat transfer.4. Detailed Requirements4.1 Glycol base coolant concentrates and prediluted cool-ants shall conform to the physical and chemical requirementsprescribed in Table 2 depen

41、ding on coolant type (see 1.2).4.2 The requirements listed in Table 2 for prediluted cool-ants (Types III and IV) are prescribed for the coolant aspackaged, without further dilution or adjustment.4.3 All coolant concentrates and prediluted coolants shallconform to the performance requirements listed

42、 in Table 3.4.4 Coolant concentrates shall be diluted for performancetesting as described in the individual ASTM test methods.4.5 If necessary, the freezing point of prediluted coolantsshall be adjusted with deionized water before proceeding withperformance testing. The freezing point of prediluted

43、ethyleneglycol base coolants (Type III) shall be 37C (34F) and thatof prediluted propylene glycol base coolants (Type IV) shall be31C (24F).4.6 Adjusted, prediluted engine coolant performance testsolutions shall be prepared as described in Table 3, FootnotesB through F.5.

COOLING SYSTEM MAINTENANCEX1.1 Filling the Cooling System:X1.1.1 Before installing engine coolant, the cooling systemshould be inspecte

45、d and necessary service work completed.X1.1.2 Cooling system fill should consist of coolant con-centrate and water or prediluted glycol base engine coolant (50volume % minimum).X1.1.3 When preparing solutions, the water should be ofsuch quality that it does not contain excessive solids, hardnesssalt

46、s, sulfates, or chlorides. In the absence of specific recom-mendations from the engine or vehicle manufacturer, see TableX1.1. Contact your local water department, the responsiblegovernment agency, or submit a water sample for analyses, ifthere is a question on water quality.X1.1.4 The recommended c

47、oolant concentration is 40 to70 %.X1.2 Essential Cooling System Service:X1.2.1 Check coolant concentration (freeze point). Themost accurate and preferred means of determining coolantconcentration is by the refractometer. (See X2.1 and TableX2.1).X1.2.2 Check coolant level and condition. Replace cool
