17、scussionIn this test method, the lubricant is an oil which may or may not contain additives such as foam inhibitors.3.1.5 maximum pore diameter, nin gas diffusion, the diameter of a circular cross-section of a capillary is equivalent to thelargest pore of the diffuser under consideration.3.1.5.1 Dis
18、cussionThe pore dimension is expressed in micrometres (m).3.1.6 permeability, n in gas diffusion, the rate of a substance that passes through a material (diffuser) under given conditions.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 dynamic bubble, nthe first bubble to pass through and es
19、cape from the diffuser followed by a continuous succession ofbubbles when testing for the maximum pore diameter in Annex A1.3.2.1.1 DiscussionWhen a diffuser is immersed in a liquid, air can be trapped in the pores. It can escape eventually or as soonas a pressure is applied to the diffuser. When te
20、sting for maximum pore diameter (Annex A1) the escape of such bubble shall beignored.3.2.2 foam stability, nin foam testing, the amount of foam remaining at the specified time following the disconnecting of theair supply.3.2.2.1 DiscussionIn this test method, foam stability is determined from measur
21、ements made 10 min 6 10 s afterdisconnecting the air supply. In cases after the air supply has been disconnected, where the foam collapses to 0 mL before the 10min settling time has elapsed, the test may be terminated and the foam stability result recorded as 0 mL.3.2.3 foaming tendency, nin foam te
22、sting, the amount of foam determined from measurements made immediately after thecessation of air flow.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Sequence IA portion of sample, maintained at a bath temperature of 24 6 0.5C is blown with air at a constant rate (946 5 mL/min ) for 5 min, then allowed to settle for
23、10 min (unless the case described in 3.2.2.1 applies, in which case, the timeduration can be shortened). The volume of foam is measured at the end of both periods.4.2 Sequence IIAsecond portion of sample, maintained at a bath temperature of 93.5 60.5C, is analyzed using the same airflow rate and blo
24、wing and settling time duration as indicated in 4.1.4.3 Sequence IIIThe sample portion used in conducting Sequence II is used for Sequence III, where any remaining foam iscollapsed and the sample portion temperature cooled below 43.5C by allowing the test cylinder to stand in air at roomtemperature,
25、 before placing the cylinder in the bath maintained at 24 6 0.5C. The same air flow rate and blowing and settlingtime duration as indicated in 4.1 is followed.5. Significance and Use5.1 The tendency of oils to foam can be a serious problem in systems such as high-speed gearing, high-volume pumping,
26、andsplash lubrication. Inadequate lubrication, cavitation, and overflow loss of lubricant can lead to mechanical failure. This testmethod is used in the evaluation of oils for such operating conditions.6. Apparatus6.1 Foaming Test Apparatus, an example of a suitable set-up is shown in Fig. 1, consis

28、oyancy, and an air-inlettube, to the bottom of which is fastened a gas diffuser. The gas diffuser can be either a 25.4-mm (1-in.) diameter spherical gasdiffuser stone made of fused crystalline alumina grain, or a cylindrical metal diffuser made of sintered five micron porous stainlesssteel (Note 1).
29、 The cylinder shall have a diameter such that the distance from the inside bottom to the 1000-mL graduation markis 360 6 25 mm. It shall be circular at the top (Note 2) and shall be fitted with a stopper, such as those made of rubber, havingone hole at the center for the air-inlet tube and a second
30、hole off-center for an air-outlet tube. The air-inlet tube shall be adjustedso that, when the stopper is fitted tightly into the cylinder, the gas diffuser (Note 3) just touches the bottom of the cylinder andis approximately at the center of the circular cross section. Gas diffusers shall meet the f

32、that diffusers be tested when new and periodicallythereafter preferably after each use.NOTE 2Graduated cylinders with circular tops can be prepared from cylinders with pouring spouts by cutting them off below the spouts. The cutsurface is to be smoothed before use by fire polishing or grinding.NOTE
33、3Gas diffusers may be attached to air-inlet tubes by any suitable means. A convenient arrangement is shown in Fig. 2.NOTE 4It may be necessary to confirm the volume of the cylinder.6.2 Test Baths, large enough to permit the immersion of the cylinder at least to the 900-mL mark and capable of beingma

Both bath (Note 6) and bathliquid shall be clear enough to permit observation of the graduations on the cylinder.NOTE 5Air baths may also be utilized for heating purposes. Limited data has shown that both liq
35、uid and air baths give equivalent results. However,the precision estimates given in Section 13 are based on using only liquid baths.3NOTE 6Heat-resistant cylindrical glass jars approximately 300 mm (12 in.) in diameter and 450 mm (18 in.) in height make satisfactory baths.6.3 Air Supply, from a sour

The air shallbe passed through a drying tower 300 mm in height packed as follows: just above the constriction place a 20-mm layer of cotton,then a 180-mm layer of indicating desiccant, and a 20-mm layer of cotton.
37、The cotton serves to hold the desiccant in place. Refillthe tower when the indicating desiccant begins to show presence of moisture. A flowmeter sensitive to the required tolerances canbe used to measure the air flow (, from a source capable of maintaining an air flow rate of 94 6 5 mL/min through t

42、us shall be measured by a volume measuring device (Note 9)capable of accurately measuring gas volumes of about 470 mL. The air shall be passed through at least one loop of copper tubingplaced around the inside circumference of the cold bath so that the volume measurement is made at approximately 24C
43、 (75F).Precautions are to be taken to avoid leaks at any point in the system.NOTE 8Alternatively,a1Lcylinder (with 10 mLgraduation marks) full of water is inverted in a tall, large beaker also filled with water. There shouldbe no air bubbles inside. Air leaving the copper loop in the bath is connect

At the end of the test, the volume of air in the cylinder is measured by equalizing the water levels inside and outside the cylinder.Alternatively, the total volume of air passed would be the diffe
