Summary of Test Method4.1 Compressed air is blown through the test oil, which has been
7、 heated to a temperature of (25, 50, 75) C. After the air flowis stopped, the time required for the air entrained in the oil to reduce in volume to 0.2 % is recorded as the air release time.NOTE 2By agreement between the customer and the laboratory, the oil may be heated at other temperatures. Howev

15、ace, a mixture of air and oil will circulate through the lubricating oil system. This may result in an inabilityto maintain oil pressure (particularly with centrifugal pumps), incomplete oil films in bearings and gears, and poor hydraulicsystem performance or failure.5.2 This test method measures th
16、e time for the entrained air content to fall to the relatively low value of 0.2 % volume undera standardized set of test conditions and hence permits the comparison of the ability of oils to separate entrained air underconditions where a separation time is available. The significance of this test me
17、thod has not been fully established. However,entrained air can cause sponginess and lack of sensitivity of the control of turbine and hydraulic systems. This test may not besuitable for ranking oils in applications where residence times are short and gas contents are high.6. Apparatus6.1 A schematic
18、 diagram of the apparatus is shown in Fig. 1. The component parts are described as follows:6.1.1 Test Vessel, made of borosilicate glass as shown in Fig. 2, consisting of a jacketed sample tube fitted with an air inletcapillary, baffle plate, and air outlet tube. The two parts of each test vessel sh
19、ould be marked and preferably used as a pair.Interchanged parts may be used so long as the resultant test vessel conforms to the stated dimensions.6.1.2 Pressure Gage, covering the range from 0 kPa to 35 kPa, with divisions at least every 2 kPa, and an accuracy of 1.5 kPa.6.1.3 Thermometers:6.1.3.1
20、Air Thermometer, for measuring compressed air temperature. ASTM Precision Thermometer having a rangefrom 20 C to 102 C, graduated in 0.2 C and conforming to the requirements for Thermometer 12C as prescribed inSpecification E1 is suitable. A temperature sensor of at least equivalent performance is a
21、lso suitable. Care shall be taken to avoidrestricting the air path with the thermometer bulb or any adapter used.6.1.3.2 Sample Thermometer, for measuring the temperature of the sample during preparation and trial runs. ASTM PrecisionThermometer having a range from 20 C to 102 C, graduated in 0.2 C
22、and conforming to the requirements for Thermometer12C as prescribed in Specification E1 is suitable. A temperature sensor of at least equivalent performance is also suitable.6.1.4 Heater, to bring the compressed air up to measurement temperature. A coil of copper tubing immersed in the circulatingba

This can be obtained by an additionalbath, or by using a separate steam or electric heat exchanger.The temperature of the air shall be measured by a thermometer locatedas close as possible to the testing vessel
24、 and meeting the specifications shown in 6.1.3.FIG. 1 Apparatus for the Determination of Air Release TimeD3427 14a2NOTE 3The application of thermal insulation to the pipework carrying the heated compressed air is recommended.6.1.5 Circulating Bath, approximately 10 L capacity with a rate of flow of
25、10 L/min and capable of maintaining the test cell ata temperature of (25, 50, 75) C within 60.1 C.NOTE 4Use of water in the bath has been found to minimize electrostatic effects.NOTE 5The application of thermal insulation to the pipework carrying the heated bath fluid is recommended.(WarningThe use
26、of glass vessels with glass hose fittings for circulating 75 C bath medium is potentially dangerous. Backpressure in excess of a gage pressure of 70 kPa can be generated when the bath medium is pumped at the required rate; this cancause fracture of the glass or slippage of the hose connections. Use
27、of a pressure relief valve set at 70 kPa is recommended. Inaddition, use of a safety shield is recommended.)FIG. 2 Test VesselD3427 14a36.2 Balance, capable of measuring density, accurate to 0.5 kgm3.6.3 Sinker, having a round or tapered bottom of 5 mL or 10 mL displacement, 80.0 mm 6 1.5 mm length.

Set the compressed air temperature to within 0.2 C of the desired testtemperature. Set the circulating bath to give a specimen
37、 temperature within 0.1 C of the desired test temperature. The requiredbath temperature setting and time for the specimen to equilibrate can be established for an equipment setup by making trial runswith a thermometer in the oil specimen. For oils with a viscosity at 40 C of less than 9.0 mm2/s, the
38、 test temperature shall be25 C. For oils with a viscosity at 40 C between 9.0 mm2/s and 90 mm2/s, the test temperature shall be 50 C.

Your comments will receive careful consideration at a meeting of the responsible technicalcommittee,1 which you may attend.D3427 14a410.2 Warm approximately 200 mL of the oil to be tested in an oven set at a temperature of 10 C higher than the testtemperature. Allow the sam
43、ple to reach the test temperature. This may take about 20 min.10.3 Pour 180 mL 6 5 mL of the heated sample into the test vessel.10.4 Allow the sample to equilibrate to the desired test temperature, using the heating-up time previously established (see 10.1)or by directly measuring the temperature.10
44、.5 Warm the sinker of the balance to the test temperature in an air bath, such as a glass cylinder fitted with a suitable coversituated in the circulating bath. When the sinker has reached the test temperature, immerse it in the sample, taking care that noair bubbles cling to it. Attach the sinker t
45、o the beam of the density balance by means of the platinum wire so that the bottom ofthe sinker is 10 mm 6 2 mm from the bottom of the test vessel.NOTE 9The sinker can take approximately 20 min to reach 50 C or 35 min to reach 75 C.10.6 Allow the density reading to stabilize, read the density from t
46、he balance to the nearest 0.1 kg/m3, and record it as the initialdensity.10.7 Return the sinker to the air bath and replace it with the air inlet tube as shown in Fig. 2. After 5 min, start the supply ofair at a gage pressure of 20 kPa at the required temperature. Maintain the pressure and temperatu
47、re of the air (25, 50, 75) C byreadjustments, if necessary.10.8 After 7 min 6 0.1 min, shut off the air and immediately start the timer. Quickly remove the inlet tube from the test vessel,and immerse the sinker in the oil/air dispersion. Attach the wire to the beam and maintain a distance of 10 mm 6
48、 2 mm betweenthe bottom of the sinker and the bottom of the test vessel.NOTE 10In the case of certain oils, which form a considerable volume of oil/air dispersion, the top of the sinker can initially be in foam, and hence,density readings at this time can be in error.10.9 Record the time, to the nea
49、rest 1 s, 0.01 min (6 s), for the density to return to the target of 99.8 % of the initial density (d0).If the time is greater than 30 min, discontinue the test.NOTE 11The test may be run for a longer period of time by agreement between the laboratory and the customer.NOTE 12For some applications, the shape of the air release time curve may be required.This can be implemented by recording the density at intervals,as required.10.10 Certain oils may lose light components during the air saturation, thus changing their effe
