3、assistance, can use the procedure described inthis test method. However, the ASTM Test Monitoring Center (TMC)2 provides reference oils and anassessment of the test results obtained on those oils by the laboratory (see AnnexA1). By these means,the laboratory will know whether their use of the test m

4、ethod gives results statistically similar to thoseobtained by other laboratories. Furthermore, various agencies require that a laboratory utilize theTMCservices in seeking qualification of oils against specifications. For example, the U.S. Army imposessuch a requirement in connection with several Ar

Summary of Test Method4.1 The test oil is tr

23、eated with deionized water. The sample is heated to 70 C for 6 h, followed by storage at room temperature.The sample is filtered and the flow rate is calculated determining the engine oil filterability characteristics.5. Significance and Use5.1 It is normal for some of the combustion products of an

24、internal combustion engine to penetrate into the engine lubricant andbe retained in it.5.2 When an engine is run for a period of time and then stored over a long period of time, the by-products of combustion mightbe retained in the oil in a liquefied state.5.3 Under these circumstances, precipitates

25、 can form that impair the filterability of the oil the next time the engine is run.5.4 This test method subjects the test oil and the new oil to the same treatments such that the loss of filterability can bedetermined.5.5 Reference oils, on which the data obtained by this test method is known, are a

26、vailable.5.6 This test method requires that a reference oil also be tested and results reported. Two oils are available, one known to givea low and one known to give a high data value for this test method.D6794 142NOTE 1When the new oil test results are to be offered as candidate oil test results fo

Preparation of Test Oil Sample and Filter9.1 Mix (49.7 6 0.1) g of test oil, (0.3 6 0.05) g (0.3 6 0.05) mL with the 1000 L syringe of deionized water in the blenderfor (30 6 1) s at 18 00

36、0 rpm 610 %. Cover the top of the container loosely to prevent oil spattering.9.2 Transfer the sample to a 60 mL wide mouth glass bottle and place the loosely capped (1/4 turn) bottle in an oven at (70.06 1.0) C for 6 h. Remove from the oven, tighten cap, and allow to cool to room temperature (20 to

Procedure10.1 Assemble apparatus as shown in Fig. 1 with filter installed in proper orientation (25 m smooth side up).10.2 Determine the new oil flow r

39、ate by placing a sample of the new oil in the burette. Pressurize the system and force at least10 mL of oil through the filter to saturate the filter with oil and remove any air bubbles. Disconnect the air line and fill the burettewith new oil to a level (1 to 2) cm above the 0 mark. Pressurize the

40、system to (69 6 2) kPa, open the stopcock, and measure theflow time for each successive 5 mL of oil between the (0 and 25) mL graduations.10.3 To determine the test oil flow rate, the flow times of the new oil are first determined. Using the same filter disc, filter holder,and burette, reduce the ne

41、w oil level in the burette to the lowest level that allows no air bubbles below the stopcock. Disconnectthe air line and fill the burette with a well-mixed sample of test oil to a level (1 to 2) cm above the 0 mark. Pressurize the systemto (69 6 2) kPa, open the stopcock, and measure the flow time f

TMC Reference Oil Testing12.1 Test aTMC-coded reference oil along with each batch of non-reference oil tests. Run the reference oil simultaneously with,and in the same batch as, the non-reference oils.NOTE 2

47、Annex A1 discusses the involvement of the ASTM TMC with respect to the reference test-monitoring program.12.1.1 Prior to conducting a reference oil test, procure a supply of reference oils directly from the TMC. These oils have beenformulated or selected to represent specific chemistry types, or per

48、formance levels, or both. Each reference oil sample is identifiedusing a unique set of identification codes on the container labels. The coded reference samples provide for a blind reference-testingprogram to protect against the possibility of bias in the results.12.1.1.1 The testing laboratory taci

49、tly agrees to use the TMC reference oils exclusively in accordance with the TMCs publishedPolicies for Use and Analysis of ASTM Reference Oils, and to run and report the reference oil test according to TMC guidelines.NOTE 3Policies for the Use and Analysis of ASTM Reference Oils are available from the TMC.12.1.2 Request a reference oil assignment from the TMC for this test method. The TMC determines the specific reference oilto be tested by the laboratory. Assignments are made by the unique identifying codes on the reference oil container
