1、Designation: D6922 11D6922 13Standard Test Method forDetermination of Homogeneity and Miscibility in AutomotiveEngine Oils1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6922; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, t
2、he year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination if an automotive engine oil is homogeneous and will remain
3、 so, and if it ismiscible with certain standard reference oils after being submitted to a prescribed cycle of temperature changes. This test methodis very similar to the homogeneity and miscibility test described in FEDSTD791/3470.1.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. N

D58443.1.5 specimen, na piece or portion of test oil used to make a test.3.1.6 test oil, nany oil subjected
17、 to evaluation in an established procedure. D65574. Summary of Test Method4.1 Visual color determinations and observations are made on an undiluted test oil specimen, along with six blends of the sametest oil that have been combined with specific reference oils. The pour point is then determined for
18、 the undiluted test oil specimenand the six blends. The undiluted test oil specimen and six blends are then allowed to warm to room temperature. Colordeterminations and observations are again made on the undiluted test oil specimen and six blends. The undiluted test oil specimenand six blends are he
19、ated to 232C,232 C, then allowed to cool to room temperature, and then stored at their pour pointtemperatures for 18 h to 24 h. The undiluted test oil specimen and six blends are then allowed to thaw and a series of colordeterminations and observations are made as they reach room temperature. All da
20、ta are recorded on a report form.5. Significance and Use5.1 It is important that engine oils from different manufacturers be homogeneous and miscible with each other, becauseoperators of automotive engines often do not have prior knowledge of the manufacturer of the oil that is currently used in the
21、irapplication, and engine failure can occur if oils are combined that do not stay homogeneous and function properly.6. Apparatus6.1 Test Jarcylindrical, of clear glass, flat bottom, 33.233.2 mm to 34.8-mm34.8 mm outside diameter, and 115115 mm to 125mm 125 mm in height. The inside diameter of the ja
