1、Designation: D 7216 05An American National StandardStandard Test Method forDetermining Automotive Engine Oil Compatibility withTypical Seal Elastomers1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 7216; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption o
2、r, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONAny properly equipped laboratory, without outside assistance, can use the tes
3、t method described inthis standard. However, the ASTM Test Monitoring Center (TMC)2provides a reference oil (TMC1006) and an assessment of the test results obtained with this oil and the reference elastomers. Bythese means, the laboratory will know whether their use of the test method gives results
4、statisticallysimilar to those obtained by other laboratories.The TMC also use the reference oil results on different batches of elastomers from differentlaboratories to update continually the total and within-laboratory standard deviation estimates. Somespecifications, for example, Specification D 4
5、485, use the updated TMC standard deviation estimates,pertaining at the time test oils are evaluated, to adjust specification limits for the effects of the industrytest variability.Various agencies require that a laboratory utilize the TMC services in seeking qualification of oilsagainst specificati
6、ons. For example, the U.S. Army imposes such a requirement in connection withseveral Army engine lubricating oil specifications.Accordingly, this test method is written for use by laboratories that utilize the TMC services.Laboratories that choose not to use those services may simply ignore those po
7、rtions of the test methodthat refer to the TMC.This test method may be modified by means of information letters issued by the TMC. In addition,the TMC may issue supplementary memoranda related to this test method.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers quantitative procedures for theevaluation of the co
8、mpatibility of automotive engine oils withfour reference elastomers typical of those used in the sealingmaterials in contact with these oils. Compatibility is evaluatedby determining the changes in volume, Durometer A hardnessand tensile properties when the elastomer specimens areimmersed in the oil
9、 for a specified time and temperature.1.2 Effective sealing action requires that the physical prop-erties of elastomers used for any seal have a high level ofresistance to the liquid or oil in which they are immersed.When such a high level of resistance exists, the elastomer issaid to be compatible
10、with the liquid or oil.NOTE 1The user of this test method should be proficient in the use ofTest Methods D 412 (tensile properties), D 471 (effect of rubber immer-sion in liquids), D 2240 (Durometer hardness), and D 5662 (gear oilcompatibility with typical oil seal elastomers), all of which are invo

Because sealsmay be subjected to static or dynamic loads, or both, and theymay operate over a range of conditions, a complete evaluatio

Summary of Test Method4.1 Measurements of initial volume, hardness (DurometerA) and tensile properties (ultimate elongation and tensilestrength) are made on specimens of specified dimension
35、s cutfrom sheets of reference elastomers. Table 1 shows the types ofelastomers involved.4.2 The elastomer specimens are immersed in both non-reference oil(s) and a reference oil and aged for 336 h atspecified temperatures.4.3 The effects of the test oils on the elastomers aredetermined by measuring
36、the changes in volume, hardness andtensile properties resulting from the immersion in the oil.5. Significance and Use5.1 Some engine oil formulations have been shown to lackcompatibility with certain elastomers used for seals in automo-tive engines. These deleterious effects on the elastomer aregrea
37、test with new engine oils (that is, oils that have not beenexposed to an engines operating environment) and when theexposure is at elevated temperatures.5.2 This test method requires that non-reference oil(s) betested in parallel with a reference oil, TMC 1006, known to beaggressive for some paramet
38、ers under service conditions. Thisrelative compatibility permits decisions on the anticipated orpredicted performance of the non-reference oil in service.5.3 Elastomer materials can show significant variation inphysical properties, not only from batch-to-batch but alsowithin a sheet and from sheet-t
39、o-sheet. Results obtained withthe reference oil are submitted by the test laboratories to theTMC to allow it to update continually the total and within-laboratory standard deviation estimates. These estimates, there-fore, incorporate effects of variations in the properties of thereference elastomers
40、 on the test variability.5.4 This test method is suitable for specification compliancetesting, quality control, referee testing, and research anddevelopment.5.5 The reference elastomers, reference oil and the physicalproperties involved in this test method address the specificrequirements of engine
41、oils. Although other tests exist forcompatibility of elastomers with liquids, these are consideredtoo generalized for engine oils.6.
