2、 last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the evaluat
3、ion of the resistanceof a lubricating grease to washout by water from a bearing,when tested at 38 and 79C (100 and 175F) under theprescribed laboratory conditions. It is not to be considered theequivalent of service evaluation tests. Precision and bias wasdetermined using grease ranging from NLGI 3
4、to 0 grades inthe research report (see Section 10).1.2 This test method may not be suitable for some greasescontaining highly volatile components. This test method doesnot attempt to account for sample evaporation. It is the usersresponsibility to determine if evaporation of the sample is asignifica

16、 of sufficiently cleaning thetest bearing for use in the test. Either reagent grade Stoddardsolvent, also known as Mineral Spirits, (WarningCombustible. Vapor harmful), or American Chemical Societyreagent grade n-heptane4(WarningFlammable. Harmful ifinhaled) has been found suitable for use.7. Prepar
17、ation of Apparatus7.1 Clean the reservoir and water passages by flushing withdistilled water. Wipe off any oil scum which has been depositedon the surfaces of the reservoir. Clean the test bearing withcleaning solvent (see 6.3).8. Procedure8.1 Pack the tared bearing with 4.00 6 0.05 g of test grease
18、.Insert the bearing and tared shields into the housing, andassemble the unit in the test apparatus.8.2 Add a minimum of 750 mL of preheated distilled waterto the reservoir, but keep the water level below the bearinghousing. Without starting the bearing, start the water circulat-ing pump while divert
19、ing the water spray from the housing bymeans of a piece of tubing attached to the capillary dischargetube or with a deflecting metal shield until equilibrium tem-perature is attained. When the test is to be made at the testtemperatures of 38C 6 1.7C (100F 6 3F) or 79C 6 1.7C(174F 6 3F), it will be n
20、ecessary to heat the water to thespecified temperature by a previously selected source of heat.8.2.1 If the rig has one motor driving both pump and testbearing, remove the belt from the test bearing spindle pulleyduring water warm-up time.8.3 When the water reaches the specified temperature,adjust t
21、he bypass valve to give a water-flow rate, through therubber tubing and into a glass graduate, of 5 6 0.5 mL/s (Note2). Remove the rubber tubing from the capillary dischargetube, and adjust the water jet so that it impinges on the endplate 6 mm (14 in.) above the outer opening of the bearinghousing.
22、 Start the bearing.NOTE 2Sufficient experience should be obtained with a particulartester to make sure that the water-flow rate can be maintained within thespecified limits for a 60 6 1 min test run.8.4 With the bearing operating at a speed of 600 6 30 rpm,continue the operation for 60 6 1 min.8.5 S
23、hut off the motor and heating source, if used. Removethe test bearing and shields and place them on a tared watchglass, with the shields being separated from the bearing andplaced with their inner faces upward to expose the wet greaseto the air.8.6 Dry the bearing and shields for 15 6 0.25hat776 2C(
24、170 6 4F), and then weigh to determine the grease loss (Note3). The grease remaining on the shields, and any leakageoccurring during the drying period, should not be considered asgrease lost. Duplicate tests shall be run.NOTE 3Some weight loss may be experienced for greases containinghighly volatile
25、 oils because of evaporation during drying.NOTE 4Some greases contain components that make it difficult tocompletely dry the sample at 77 6 2C (170 6 4F). If a weight gain isobserved after drying for 15 h at 77 6 2C (1706 4F), then the sampleshould be dried for an additional 15 h at 93 6 2C (200 6 4
26、F). If aweight gain is still observed after drying for 15 h at 93 62C (200 6 4F),then the sample should be dried for an additional 15 h at 1156 2C (2396 4F). If needed, each additional drying step should commence on thesame day that the previous drying step completed. Between drying steps,the sample
27、 should be kept in a desiccator, and great care should be usedwhen handling the sample to avoid removing any material.9. Report9.1 Report the average of duplicate tests as the percentageweight of grease washed out at the test temperature, andindicate the temperature at which the bearing assembly and
28、grease were dried.10. Precision and Bias510.1 The precision of this test method was obtained usingADJD6300 (D2PP).310.2 The precision of this test method was determined bydrying the bearing assembly and grease at 77C (170F). Theprecision statement does not apply to samples which are driedat the high
