3、1 This test method covers the determination of the load-carrying capacity of lubricating fluids by means of the TimkenExtreme Pressure Tester.NOTE 1This test method is suitable for testing fluids having aviscosity of less than about 5000 cSt (5000 mm2/s) at 40C. For testingfluids having a higher vis
4、cosity, refer to Note 5 in 9.1.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. Because the equipment used in this test method isavailable only in inch-pound units, SI units are omitted whenreferring to the equipment and the test specimens.1.3 This standard does not purport to addres
5、s all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.

In its simplest and most recognized form, scoring ischaracterized
16、by the furrowed appearance of a wide scar on thetest block and by excessive pick-up of metal on the surface ofthe test cup. The form of surface failure more usually encoun-tered, however, consists of a comparatively smooth scar, whichshows local damage that usually extends beyond the width ofthe sca
17、r. Scratches or striations that occur in an otherwisesmooth scar and that do not extend beyond the width of the scarare not considered as evidence of scoring.3.2.4 seizure or asperity weldinglocalized fusion of metalbetween the rubbing surfaces of the test pieces. Seizure isusually indicated by stre
18、aks appearing on the surface of the testcup, an increase in friction and wear, or unusual noise andvibration. Throughout this test method the term seizure isunderstood to mean seizure or asperity welding.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The tester is operated with a steel test cup rotatingagainst a stee
19、l test block. The rotating speed is 123.71 6 0.77m/min (405.88 6 2.54 ft/min) which is equivalent to a spindlespeed of 800 6 5 rpm. Fluid samples are preheated to 37.8 62.8C (100 6 5F) before starting the test.4.2 Two determinations are made: the minimum load (scorevalue) that will rupture the lubri
20、cant film being tested betweenthe rotating cup and the stationary block and cause scoring orseizure; and the maximum load (OK value) at which therotating cup will not rupture the lubricant film and causescoring or seizure between the rotating cup and the stationaryblock.5.

Flush with approximately 1 L (1 qt) ofthe fluid to be tested. Discard the flushing fluid. (WarningSince acetone is highly flammable, use the minimum quanti
30、ty.)8.2 Select a new test cup and block, wash with Stoddardsolvent or White Spirit (WarningFlammable. SeeA3.2.) anddry with a clean soft cloth or paper. Immediately before userinse the test cup and block with acetone and blow them dry.Do not use solvents such as carbon tetrachloride or others thatma
31、y inherently possess load-carrying properties which mayeffect the results.NOTE 2This cleaning may be done in an ultrasonic cleaner.8.3 Assemble the tester carefully (Fig. 4), placing the testcup on the spindle and making certain that it is well seated,drawing it up firmly but avoiding possible disto
32、rtion fromexcessive tightening (Note 3). Place the test block in the testblock holder and adjust the levers so that all the knife edges arein proper alignment. Exercise special care in placing the stirrupof the spring-weight platform assembly (selection of whichwill depend on the loading device) in
33、the groove of theload-lever arm to avoid premature shock to the test block whenthe load is applied. To ensure that the test block, test blockholder, and lever arms are properly aligned and seated, coat thetest block and test cup with the lubricant to be tested, and rotatethe machine slowly for a few
34、 revolutions either by hand or bysuitable control mechanism. When the parts are in alignment,the fluid will be wiped off the cup over its entire width.NOTE 3At this point it is recommended that a dial indicator used tocheck the radial run-out of the cup in situ not exceed 0.025 mm (0.001 in.)total i

Procedure9.1 Fill the reservoir of the tester to within 76 mm (3 in.) ofthe top (approximately 3 L or 3 qt) with the fluid to be tested.Preheat the fluid to 37.8 6 2.8C (100 6 5F).NOTE 4The fluid may be heated by the use of an immersion heaterlocated in the tester reservoir or b
36、y heating the fluid prior to filling thereservoir. If an immersion heater is used, localized overheating must beavoided. This may be done by stirring or by circulating prior to theassembly of the lever arm.NOTE 5Fluids having a viscosity above about 5000 cSt (5000 mm2/s)FIG. 3 Timken TesterD278202e1
37、3at 40C often cannot be tested at the prescribed fluid temperature of 37.86 2.8C (100 6 5F) because of inability of the pump to recirculate thefluid at this temperature. However, results from limited cooperative tests,covered in Tables A1.1 and A1.2, indicate that the starting fluid tempera-ture cou
38、ld be increased to 65.6C (150F) to obtain adequate flow withoutaffecting OK or score values. Testing of such high-viscosity fluids at roomtemperature in the Test Method D 2509 grease feeder also appears validbut may be difficult because of fluid leakage.9.2 Set the discharge valve at full open. Allo
39、w the lubricantto flood the test cup and block. When the sump is about halffilled with the fluid, start the motor and run for 30 s to break-in.If the equipment used is equipped with acceleration control,start the motor and increase the spindle speed gradually toachieve 800 6 5 rpm after 15 s. Run fo
40、r a further 15 s tocomplete the break-in.9.3 After a break-in period of 30 s, start the timer and applyat 8.9 to 13.3 N/s (2 to 3 lbf/s), a load that is less than theexpected score load. In the absence of a better estimate, astarting load of 30 lbf is recommended. The load-lever arm,spring-weight pl
41、atform assembly is not considered a part of theapplied load. In the event a lower starting load is used, it mustbe a multiple of 6. Then allow the machine to run at 800 6 5rpm for 10 min 6 15 s after load application is initiated, unlessa score is detected before that period.9.4 If, after the load h
42、as been applied, scoring is evident byvibration or noise, stop the tester at once, turn off the flow oflubricant, and remove the load. Since the excessive heatdeveloped with deep scoring may alter the surface character-istics of the entire block, discard the test block. (WarningThe machine and test
43、pieces may be hot at this point and careshould be exercised in their handling.)9.5 If no scoring is detected, allow the tester to run for 10min 6 15 s from the start of the application of the load. At theend of the 10-min 6 15-s period, reverse the loading deviceand remove the load from the lever ar
44、m. Turn off the motor,FIG. 3 (continued)FIG. 4 Assembly of Tester Showing Test PiecesD278202e14allow the spindle to come to rest, then turn off the flow of fluid.Remove the load lever and inspect the condition of the testblock surface at 13 magnification. Microscopical observationsshall not be used
45、to define when scoring has occurred. Thelubricant has failed at the imposed load if the wear scarindicates any scoring or welding.NOTE 6A microscope may be used to examine the wear scar forfurther information as required in 9.9.9.6 If no score is observed, turn the test block to expose anew surface
46、of contact and, with a new test cup, repeat the test,as in 9.5, at 10-lbf increments until a load that produces a scoreis reached. At this point decrease the load by 5 lbf for the finaldetermination.NOTE 7Before each test in 9.6-9.8 cool the fluid in the reservoir to37.8 6 2.8C (100 6 5F), cool the
47、shaft to less than 65.6C (150F),install a new test cup, and turn the test block to expose a new surface ofcontact. When seizure has occurred, discard the entire test block sinceexcessive heat, developed when scarring occurs, may alter the surfacecharacteristics of the entire block.9.7 If a score is
48、produced at the 30-lbf load, reduce the loadby 6-lbf decrements until no scoring is realized. At this point,increase the load by 3 lbf for the final determination.9.8 When the wear scar evidence at any load stage makesthe definition of the onset of scoring questionable, repeat thetest at the same lo
49、ad. If the second test produces a score, recorda score rating for this load. Similarly, if the second testproduces no scoring, record a no score rating. If the second testagain yields a questionable result, simply withhold judgment ofthe rating at this load stage and test the fluid at the immediatelynext higher load stage (see Annex A2). Then assign a rating tothe load stage in question that is identical to the rating obtainedat the immediately next higher load stage employed.9.9 After the OK value has been determined, remove the testblock
