Summary of Test Method4.1 A used engine oil sample is heated at 80

38、 C and then vigorously agitated. The sample is then cooled at a programmedcooling rate to a final test temperature. A low torque is applied to the rotor shaft to measure the yield stress. A higher torque isthen applied to determine the apparent viscosity of the sample.5. Significance and Use5.1 When

39、 an engine oil is cooled, the rate and duration of cooling can affect its yield stress and viscosity. In this laboratory test,used engine oil is slowly cooled through a temperature range where wax crystallization is known to occur, followed by relativelyrapid cooling to the final test temperature. A

40、s in other low temperature rheological tests such as Test Methods D3829, D4684, andD5133, a preheating condition is required to ensure that all residual waxes are solubilized in the oil prior to the cooldown (thatis, remove thermal memory). However, it is also known that highly sooted used diesel en

41、gine oils can experience a sootagglomerization phenomenon when heated under quiescent conditions. The current method uses a separate preheat and agitationstep to break up any soot agglomerization that may have occurred prior to cooldown. The viscosity of highly sooted diesel engineoils as measured i

The cooling profile described in Table X1.1 is based onthe viscosity properties of the ASTM Pumpability Reference Oils

43、(PRO). This series of oils includes oils with normallow-temperature flow properties and oils that have been associated with low-temperature pumpability problems (2-7).6.

The cell cap is a stepped cylinder 38 mm 6 1 mm in length made of a low thermalconductivity material, for example, thermoplastic such as acetyl copolymers that have known solvent resistivity and are suitablefor use between the temperature ranges of this test method. The top

The tolerance on the bottom half is such that it will easily fitinto cell but not allow cap to contact rotor shaft. The piece has a center bore of 11 mm 6 1 mm. The cap is made in two halvesto facilitate placement in the top of the cell.6.1.2.1 Cell caps shall not be used in the direct refrigeration instruments, since such use would block the flow of cold, dry airin
