21、 nthose oils that establish the instru-ments reference framework of apparent viscosity versusspeed, from which the apparent viscosities of test oils aredetermined.3.2.2 test oil, nany oil for which the apparent viscosityand yield stress are to be determined by this test method.3.2.3 used oil, nan oi

22、l which has been used in an operatingengine.3.2.4 yield stress, nthe shear stress required to initiateflow.3.2.4.1 DiscussionFor all Newtonian fluids and somenon-Newtonian fluids, the yield stress is zero. An oil can havea yield stress that is a function of its low-temperature coolingrate, soak time

23、, and temperature. Yield stress measurement bythis test method determines only whether the test oil has a yieldstress of at least 35 Pa; a yield stress below 35 Pa is consideredto be insignificant for engine oils.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A used engine oil sample is heated at 80 C and thenvigorou

24、sly agitated. The sample is then cooled at a pro-grammed cooling rate to a final test temperature. A low torqueis applied to the rotor shaft to measure the yield stress.Ahighertorque is then applied to determine the apparent viscosity of thesample.5. Significance and Use5.1 When an engine oil is coo

25、led, the rate and duration ofcooling can affect its yield stress and viscosity. In thislaboratory test, used engine oil is slowly cooled through atemperature range where wax crystallization is known to occur,followed by relatively rapid cooling to the final test tempera-ture. As in other low tempera

26、ture rheological tests such as TestMethods D3829, D4684, and D5133, a preheating condition isrequired to ensure that all residual waxes are solubilized in theoil prior to the cooldown (that is, remove thermal memory).However, it is also known that highly sooted used diesel engineoils can experience

27、a soot agglomerization phenomenon whenheated under quiescent conditions. The current method uses aseparate preheat and agitation step to break up any sootagglomerization that may have occurred prior to cooldown.The viscosity of highly sooted diesel engine oils as measuredin this test method have bee

The cooling profile described in Table X1.1 is based onthe viscosity properties of the ASTM Pumpability ReferenceOils (PRO). This series of oils inc

29、ludes oils with normallow-temperature flow properties and oils that have beenassociated with low-temperature pumpability problems (2-7).6.
