Withinthe text the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated ineach system are not exact
4、 equivalents, therefore each systemmust be used independently of the other. Combining values ofthe two systems may result in nonconformance with thespecification.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

Significance and Use5.1 Thi

This test method differ-entiates between bonded solid lubricants with respect to theirwear life. If the test conditions are changed, relative wear lifem

Procedure9.1 Conduct the test in a tem
22、perature- and humidity-controlled atmosphere (24 6 3C (75 6 5F), 50 6 5 %) andallow sufficient static time for the specimens to reach a state ofequilibrium.9.2 With 1.4 kg (3 lb) on the bale rod, which is equivalentto a 13.6 kg (30 lb) normal load on the specimen, start themachine. Standard drive ma
23、chines will operate only at 87.5cpm; for variable drive units the 87.5 cpm speed is set beforespecimens are mounted. Run the machine for 1 min toaccomplish initial wear-in of the coated specimen and then stopthe machine. Gently lower 27.3 kg (60 lb) of additional weightonto the bale rod, bringing th
24、e total to 28.3 kg (63 lb) or 283kg (630 lb) normal load on the specimen. Start the machineagain and run until failure occurs due to excessive friction, asdescribed above. Record friction during the break-in cycle andalso record the number of revolutions to failure.10. Calculation10.1 Calculate the
25、coefficient of friction from the frictionforce values as follows:f 5 F/W (2)where:f = coefficient of friction,F = friction force, kg (lb), andW = normal load, kg (lb).11. Report11.1 The report shall include the following:11.1.1 Report the friction force in both directions at 50, 100,and 1000 cycles.
26、 Record the number of revolutions to failure,(point after wear-in at which a coefficient of friction of 0.1 isreached).11.1.2 Indicate where failure occurred, whether in the in-side, middle, or outside of the wear track of the test ring.12.

28、e long run, and in the normal and correctoperation of the test method, exceed 25 % of the mean only inone case in twenty.12.1.1.2 ReproducibilityThe difference between two,single and independent results, obtained by different operatorsworking in different laboratories on identical test materialwould
29、, in the long run, and in the normal and correct operationof the test method, exceed 33 % of the mean only in one casein twenty.12.2 BiasSince there is no accepted reference materialsuitable for determining the bias for the procedure in TestMethod D 2981 for measuring wear life, no statement on bias

DESCRIPTION OF THE FALEX BLOCK-ON-RING TEST MACHINEA1.1 A stationary rectangular test block bears under a
32、predetermined load, maximum 548 kg (1300 lb), against arotating (or oscillating) ring. The load is accurately maintainedthroughout the test. Bearing pressures (average Hertz pres-sures) in the line contact area between the rectangular speci-men and the rotating ring may range up to 110 000 psi (759M
33、N/m2).A1.2 In rotational motion, friction is indicated throughoutthe test by a digital indicator. A load cell transducer and arecorder are used to obtain friction readings under oscillatingmotion. A counter records the number of revolutions or cyclesof the test ring. One criterion of failure is when
34、 the frictionreaches a pre-selected maximum. For this purpose a control onthe friction indicator or recorder can be set for any pre-selectedvalue of friction and the machine will automatically shut offupon reaching it.A1.3 In an alternative method, a thermocouple is imbeddedin the test block and a t
35、emperature controller terminates the testwhen the temperature of the test block reaches a previously setvalue.A1.4 The test shaft of the machine is supported by tworoller bearings and the mandrel end of the shaft protrudesthrough the front panel of the machine where the test speci-mens are mounted.
36、The test block, which is held stationaryagainst the rotating or oscillating ring, is restrained fromhorizontal movement by a unique type of holder. The design ofthis specimen holder allows the test block to align itselfautomatically in a manner prescribed by ASTM specificationsfor compression loaded
37、 specimens. This maintains uniformloading throughout the area of contact between the specimensregardless of the force existing between them. In oscillatingtests, the holder for the stationary specimen is mounted on aspecial friction pin assembly. This assembly is connected to aload cell which is in
38、turn connected to a digital friction meterand a recorder that monitors and records friction.A1.5 The normal force between the test specimens isproduced by suspending dead weights from the end of a leversystem which is designed in such a way as to allow the fullvalue of the friction force to be trans
39、mitted to the frictionalload pick-up device.A1.6 Speed ranges with variable speed control are availablefrom 0.5 to 7200 rpm. Fluid lubricants can be tested up to amaximum of 204C (400F). With optional equipment, the testchamber can be pressurized to 1.03 MPa (150 psi) run inspecial atmospheres or ru
40、n in vacuum.A1.7 The friction force indicator used in rotational testingis direct reading in kilograms or pounds and is fitted with aninfinitely adjustable limit control which allows the operator topreset the value of friction at which the machine will stop. Thesetting is accomplished by presetting
41、the desired value on theautomatic friction cut-off. In oscillating testing, the frictionforce-recorder system provides friction readings in both direc-tions.A1.8 A six-digit revolution counter is mounted in the digitalinstrumentation system. It is electronically actuated from thetest shaft and is eq
42、uipped with a reset.A1.9 The machine is furnished complete with all electricalequipment ready to operate after removal of a few shippingbolts. In addition to the motor, the electrical equipmentincludes control circuit relays and a push-button-controlledmagnetic motor starter for electrical overload
