For reference, 1 mm2/s is equivalent to 1 centistoke (cSt).1.3 This practice is applicable to fluids ranging in kinematic viscosity from about 4 mm2/s to 150 mm2/s as measured at areference temperature of 40 C and to

Summar
21、y of Practice4.1 High VI hydraulic fluids often contain high molecular weight thickeners, called viscosity index (VI) improvers, whichimpart non-Newtonian characteristics to the fluid. These polymers may shear degrade with use, and reduce the in-service viscosityof the fluids.4.2 This practice provi
22、des uniform guidelines for characterizing oils in terms of both their high and low temperature viscositiesbefore and after exposure to high shear stress.4.2.1 Since the performance of fluids at temperatures higher than 40 C is determined in the worst case, that is, most severesituation, by the shear
23、ed oil viscosity, the viscosity and viscosity index used to characterize fluids in this practice are those of thesheared fluid.4.2.2 This practice classifies oils at low temperature by their new oil properties. Low temperature viscosities do not decreasegreatly, if at all, with polymer shear degrada
24、tion. Furthermore, this approach ensures that the fluid will be properly classified underthe worst-case conditions, that is, when the fluid is new.4.3 This practice may be used with either Newtonian or non-Newtonian hydraulic fluids. This provides the user with a morereasonable basis to compare flui
25、ds than previous practices.5. Significance and Use5.1 The purpose of this practice is to establish viscosity designations derived from viscosities measured by test methods whichhave a meaningful relationship to hydraulic fluid performance. This permits lubricant suppliers, lubricant users, and equip
26、mentdesigners to have a uniform and common basis for designating, specifying, or selecting the viscosity characteristics of hydraulicfluids.5.2 This practice is not intended to be a replacement for Classification D2422. Rather, it is an enhancement intended to providea better description of the visc
27、osity characteristics of lubricants used as hydraulic fluids.5.3 This practice implies no evaluation of hydraulic oil quality other than its viscosity and shear stability under the conditionsspecified.5.4 While it is not intended for other functional fluids, this practice may be useful in high-shear
28、-stress applications whereviscosity index (VI) improvers are used to extend the useful operating temperature range of the fluid.5.5 This practice does not apply to other lubricants for which viscosity classification systems already exist, for example, SAEJ300 for automotive engine oils and SAE J306
29、for axle and manual transmission lubricants.D6080 18a26. Procedure6.1 The low temperature viscosity grade of a fluid is based on the viscosity of new oil measured using a rotational viscometer(see Practice E1953), Test Method D2983.6.1.1 The viscosity shall be interpolated from measurements at three
30、 temperatures spanning the temperature at which theviscosity is 750 mPas. A smooth graph of these data (log viscosity versus temperature) determines the temperature at which theoil has a viscosity of 750 mPas.6.1.2 The temperature determined in 6.1.1 shall be rounded to a whole number in accordance
31、with Practice E29.6.1.3 The low temperature viscosity grade is determined by matching the temperature determined in 6.1.2 with the requirementsshown in Table 1.6.2 The high temperature viscosity designation of a fluid is the 40 C kinematic viscosity (Test MethodMethods D445 orD7042) of a fluid which
32、 has been sheared using Test Method D5621.6.2.1 The kinematic viscosity determined in 6.2 shall be rounded to a whole number in accordance with Practice E29.6.2.2 For a fluid known to contain no polymeric components which will shear degrade, the high temperature viscositydesignation is the 40 C kine

D445 is the referee method.6.2.3 If the 40 C kinematic viscosity from 6.2.1 fails to meet the same designation consistently (for example, it varies becauseof sprea
36、d in base stock or component specifications, or variability in kinematic viscosity or shear stability measurements), thelower designation must be used to ensure conformance with 6.5 below.6.3 The viscosity index designation of the fluid is based on the viscosity index as determined using Practice D2
37、270 on fluidwhich has been sheared using Test Method D5621.6.3.1 The viscosity index determined in 6.3 shall be rounded to the nearest ten units in accordance with Practice E29. This valueis the viscosity index designation.6.3.2 For fluids which do not contain polymeric components, the viscosity ind
38、ex is determined on the new fluid using PracticeD2270. The viscosity index designation for the fluid is established by rounding this viscosity index to the nearest ten units inaccordance with Practice E29.NOTE 3The guidelines for rounding viscosity in 6.2.1 and 6.2.2 and viscosity index in 6.3.1 and
39、 6.3.2 are specific to this practice and should not beconfused with the larger number of significant figures that can be reported when Test Methods D445, D2270and, D2270and D7042 are used for otherpurposes.6.3.3 If the viscosity index fails to meet the same designation consistently, that is, it vari
40、es between the lower values for onedesignation and the higher values for the next lower designation (for example, it varies because of spread in base stock orcomponent specifications, or variability in kinematic viscosity or shear stability measurements), the lower designation must be usedto ensure
41、conformance with 6.5 below.6.4 For the sake of uniformity of nomenclature in identifying the viscosity characteristics of hydraulic fluids, the followingdesignation shall be used:ISO VG xxLyy-zz (VI)where xx is the new oil viscosity grade as determined by Classification D2422 (Table 2); Lyy is the l
42、ow temperature viscositygrade as determined in 6.1; zz is the high temperature sheared viscosity designation as determined in 6.2; and VI is the viscosityindex designation as determined in 6.3.6.4.1 If the new oil viscosity does not meet a grade described by Classification D2422, the ISO VG xx porti
43、on of the designationdoes not apply. In such cases, the Lyy-zz (VI) designation may still be used, and the use of any other descriptors for the new oilis at the discretion of the fluid marketer.6.4.2 Examples of use of this practice are shown in Table 3.6.5 An oil blender may use any manufacturing c
44、ontrol that seems appropriate to his operation. However, it is the responsibilityof the blender to ensure that all production fully meets the requirements for the viscosity designation on the container.7. Interpretation of Results7.1 The designation determined for a hydraulic fluid as described in 6
45、.4 may be used in combination with a manufacturersviscosity recommendations for specific equipment to estimate an acceptable temperature range over which that fluid may be usedin that equipment.7.2 The low temperature grade determined in 6.1, Lyy, defines the lowest recommended fluid temperature at
46、which the fluid maybe used in equipment with a start-up, under load limit of 750 mPas, max.7.2.1 The low temperature limit is determined by comparing the Lyy designation with the corresponding temperature in Table1.7.2.2 Example 1aFor an oil with the designation:ISO VG 46L32-40 ,TABLE 2 ISO Viscosit

Hence, in equipment which has a low temperature start-up viscosity limit of 750 mPas,the oil in this exam

Reference to Table 1 indicates that this oil has a viscosity of 750 mPas at atemperature between 2 C and 7 C. Hence, in equipment which has a low temperature start-up viscosity limit of 750 mPas, theoil in this example may be used down to at least 2 C.7.2.4 This practice is not quantitative when a manufacturer specifies lower or higher start-up viscosity limits.
