1、Designation: D 6074 08An American National StandardStandard Guide forCharacterizing Hydrocarbon Lubricant Base Oils1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6074; 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.INTRODUCTIONThis guide was generated in response to a request from automobile manufacturers that ASTMCommittee D02 develop a

3、standard for re-refined base oils. As the document evolved through theconsensus process, it was agreed that it would be appropriate to present this information as aneducational guide and to include base oils from various refining processes, including both re-refiningof used oils and refining of crud

4、e oils.This guide represents the first step in better describing important parameters of lubricant base oilsaffecting lubricant performance and safe handling. Tests have been identified to characterize thecomposition and performance of base oils in addition to verifying their consistency. Undesirabl

5、ecomponents have also been identified, with a range of typical levels. These are not limits.This guide does not intend to cover all base oil viscosity grades. However, it does cover the majorityof viscosities that would be used in both automotive and industrial oil formulations.1. Scope*1.1 This gui

6、de suggests physical, chemical, and toxicologi-cal test methods for characterizing hydrocarbon lubricant baseoils derived from various refining processes including re-refining used oils and refining crude oil. This guide does notpurport to cover all tests which could be employed. It is theresponsibi

7、lity of the buyer and seller to determine and agreeupon the implementation of this guide.1.2 This guide applies only to base oils and not to finishedlubricants.1.3 This guide is relevant to base oils composed of hydro-carbons and intended for use in formulating products includingautomotive and indus

8、trial lubricants. These base oils wouldtypically have a viscosity of approximately 2 to 40 mm2/s (cSt)at 100C (50 to 3740 SUS at 100F).1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.5 This standard does not purport to ad

9、dress 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 applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Guide4.1 This guide suggests a listing of properties and potentialcontaminants whose determination may be important for ahydrocarbon base oil due to performance, regulatory, or oth

33、erconsiderations. Specific application issues such as frequency oftesting and the use of other test methods are addressed only ina qualitative manner.5. Significance and Use5.1 The consistent performance of hydrocarbon lubricantbase oils is a critical factor in a wide variety of applicationssuch as

34、engine oils, industrial lubricants, and metalworkingfluids. In addition, in many of these applications humans areexposed to the base oils as a component of a formulatedproduct such that health or safety considerations may need tobe addressed. This guide suggests a compilation of propertiesand potent

35、ial contaminants that are understood by thoseknowledgeable in the manufacture and use of hydrocarbonlubricants to be of significance in some or all applications. Adiscussion of each of the suggested properties and potentialcontaminants is provided in Appendix X1, with each listedalphabetically withi

36、n four categories.5.2 Potential sources of base oil variation include the rawmaterial, manufacturing process, operating conditions, storage,transportation, and blending.5.3 The test methods, base oil properties, and potentialcontaminants suggested are those that would likely be useful inmany common

37、situations, although it is recognized that thereare specific applications and situations that could have differentrequirements. Performance testing related to the specific appli-cation should serve as the basis for acceptability.5.4 Issues such as frequency of testing and the specifics ofhow the tes

38、t results are to be applied are not addressed in detail.It is the responsibility of the buyer and seller to determine andagree upon the implementation of this guide. This guide servesas a basis for that discussion.6. Sampling6.1 Sampling of base oils may be required as part of thebuyer/seller arrang

39、ement. If a sampling program is required,sampling in accordance with Practice D 4057 or a suitablealternative may be employed.7. Procedure7.1 Application of Guide:7.1.1 This guide applies only to hydrocarbon lubricant baseoils. Base oils containing detectable levels of esters, animalfats, vegetable

40、oils, or other materials used as, or blended into,lubricants are not covered by this guide.7.1.2 The frequency and extent of testing is to be deter-mined based upon need. A property that can be shown to haveminimal variation with time, a potential contaminant that canbe shown to be consistently abse

41、nt or at levels below concern,or a toxicological property that is shown to be satisfactory mayjustify infrequent testing or no additional testing. In such cases,reporting of typical expected values may be acceptable.7.1.3 Some of the measurements could be performed on theindividual base stocks, and

42、then, knowing the test results andthe proportions of the base stock components in the base oil,test values can be calculated. Similarly, laboratory blends ofbase stocks in appropriate ratios could substitute for actualstream samples when sampling is not practical. This procedureshould be negotiated

43、between the base oil buyer and the seller.7.1.4 The test methods suggested are not an exhaustive list.Many nonstandardized methods are being used in the petro-leum industry, such as high-performance liquid chromatogra-phy (HPLC), supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), andthin layer chromatography

44、 (TLC) methods for the determina-tion of saturates content. Further, there are more complex testsavailable for some properties that might give equivalent orsuperior information. For example, estimates of dermal carci-nogenic potential can be obtained from screener tests, such asTest Method E 1687 or

45、 IP 346, but the Chronic AnimalBioassay Analysis (that is, mouse skin painting assay) repre-sents the definitive test for the determination of carcinogenicityhazard of base oils.NOTE 1Local legislative and regulatory requirements may also applywhen selecting the tests to be run.7.1.5 Some of the phy

46、sical, compositional, and contaminanttest methods cited in Table 1 and Table 2 are utilized outside oftheir published scopes. If this is the case, there typically is noother more appropriate method, and industry experience hasshown the test method to give acceptable results.7.1.6 If the test method

47、is a modification to an accepted testmethod, it should be identified when providing information ona base oil (for example, DXXXX Mod.).7.2 Properties and Potential Contaminants:7.2.1 The following tables contain suggested properties,potential contaminants, and commonly used test methods thatone migh

48、t want to include in a base oil evaluation.7.2.2 Table 1 includes physical and compositional proper-ties and test methods only.7.2.3 Table 2 includes parameters that may relate to poten-tial contaminants and to toxicological properties. Typical levelswere compiled through a survey of base oil produc

49、ers. Forfurther details, see Research Report RR: D02-1416.97.2.4 A discussion of the significance of each property isprovided in Appendix X1.8.
