Significance and Use5.1 Significance of Low-Temperature, Low Shear Rate, En-gine Oil RheologyThe low-tempe

35、rature, low-shear viscomet-ric behavior of an engine oil determines whether the oil willflow to the sump inlet screen, then to the oil pump, then to thesites in the engine requiring lubrication in sufficient quantity toprevent engine damage immediately or ultimately after coldtemperature starting.5.

36、1.1 Two forms of flow problems have been identified,4flow-limited and air-binding behavior. The first form of flowrestriction, flow-limited behavior, is associated with the oilsviscosity; the second, air-binding behavior, is associated withgelation.5.2 Significance of the Test MethodThe temperature-

37、scanning technique employed by this test method was designedto determine the susceptibility of the engine oil to flow-limitedand air-binding response to slow cooling conditions by provid-ing continuous information on the rheological condition of theoil over the temperature range of use.4,5,7In this

38、way, bothviscometric and gelation response are obtained in one test.NOTE 1This test method is one of three related to pumpability relatedproblems. Measurement of low-temperature viscosity by the two otherpumpability Test Methods D3829 and D4684, hold the sample in aquiescent state and generate the a

39、pparent viscosity of the sample at shearrates ranging up to 15 sec-1and shear stresses up to 525 Pa at a previouslyselected temperature. Such difference in test parameters (shear rate, shearstress, sample motion, temperature scanning, and so forth) can lead todifferences in the measured apparent vis

40、cosity among these test methodswith some test oils, particularly when other rheological factors associatedwith gelation are present. In addition, the three methods differ consider-ably in cooling rates.5.3 Gelation Index and Gelation Index TemperatureThistest method has been further developed to yie

41、ld parameterscalled the Gelation Index and Gelation Index temperature. Thefirst parameter is a measure of the maximum rate of torqueincrease caused by the rheological response of the oil as the oilis cooled slowly. The second parameter is the temperature atwhich the Gelation Index occurs.6. Apparatu
