Summary of Test Method3.1 A

8、fter preliminary drying to remove trace amounts ofwater, the sample is cooled to a specified temperature. Afterseven consecutive days, the sample is examined for its abilityto flow and observed for homogeneity.4. Significance and Use4.1 The temperature at which a lubricant remains fluid andhomogeneo

9、us after seven days is an index of its ability towithstand prolonged exposure to cold temperature. With veg-etable oils and some synthetic esters, it is necessary to doextended cold storage testing. Quick cool, short-term tests,such as Test Methods D97 and D2500, do not adequatelypredict the tendenc

10、y to solidify over longer time spans at coldtemperatures.4.2 This test method is not intended to indicate coldtemperature pumpability performance. A separate assessmentof viscometric performance should be made in order to assesscold flow properties, which are important in order to avoidsystem damage

11、 in cold temperature applications. Suitableguidelines for such testing and test temperatures for variousviscosity grades can be found in Practice D6080.4.3 No specific temperature of measurement is given in thistest method because fluids with different viscosity grades havedifferent cold temperature

12、 performance expectations. For guid-ance on temperature selection relative to an intended lowtemperature viscosity grade or ISO VG, consult PracticeD6080. As an example of using Practice D6080, a L22viscosity grade would be evaluated at the lowest temperaturefor that grade, namely 22.9 C. Alternativ

13、ely, a fluid can beevaluated at the lowest temperature expected for field service.5. Apparatus5.1 Test Jar, cylindrical, of clear glass, flat bottom, 115 mmto 125 mm in height. The inside diameter of the jar can rangefrom 30.0 mm to 32.4 mm, with a wall thickness of 1.6 mmmaximum. The jar shall have

14、 a line to indicate a sample height54 mm 6 3 mm above the inside bottom.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Products, Liquid Fuels, and Lubricants and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D02.N0 on Hydraulic Fluids.Current edition approved June 15, 20
