Summary of Test Method4.1 A drive line fluid is preheated to 50C50 C for a specified time and then cooled at a programmed rate (see Table X1.1)

26、tothe final test temperature and soaked at the final temperature for a defined period of time. At the completion of the soak time, theviscosity is measured by applying a prescribed torque and measuring rotational speed to determine the apparent viscosity of thesample.5. Significance and Use5.1 Visco

27、sity of drive line lubricants at low temperature is critical for both gear lubrication and the circulation of the fluid inautomatic transmissions. For gear oils (GOs), the issue is whether the fluid characteristics are such that the oil will flow into thechannel dug out by the submerged gears as the

28、y begin rotating and re-lubricating them as they continue to rotate. For automatictransmission fluids, torque, and tractor fluids the issue is whether the fluid will flow into a pump and through the distribution systemrapidly enough for the device to function.5.2 The low temperature performance of d

29、rive line lubricant flow characteristics was originally evaluated by the channel test.In this test, a pan was filled to a specified depth of approximately 2.5 cm and then cooled to test temperature. The test wasperformed by scraping a channel through the full depth of the fluid and across the length

30、 of the pan after it had soaked at testtemperature for a specified time. The time it took the fluid to cover the channel was measured and reported. The channel test wasreplaced by Test Method D2983 in 1971.5.3 The results of this test procedure correlate with the viscometric measurements obtained in

33、atus that consists of one or more viscometric cells in a temperature controlled aluminumblock. Each cell, when fitted with the specified rotor, becomes a calibrated rotor-stator set. Rotation of the rotor is achieved by anapplied load acting through a string wound around the rotor shaft. The top bea

34、ring plate is fitted with locking pins for holding therotors stationary. Time of rotation is measured electronically by a device attached to the timing wheel.NOTE 1The rotors for use with this test method can be distinguished from the rotors used for other mini-rotary viscometer test methods by the
