Summary of Test Method3.1 This
16、 test method consists of a standard test procedure(see 10.1), an alternative Procedure 1 (see 10.2), and analternative Procedure 2 (see 10.3). The standard test procedureuses washer-shaped metal specimens stacked on the air tube,200 mL of test oil, 10 L/h air flow rate, and periodic test oilwithdraw
17、al and evaluation. Alternative Procedure 1 useswasher-shaped metal specimens, 165 mL of test oil, 10 L/h airflow rate, and no periodic test oil sampling. AlternativeProcedure 2 uses square metal specimens tied together restingvertically in the large glass tube, 100 mL of test oil, 5 L/h airflow rate
18、, and no periodic test oil sampling.NOTE 1Flow rates other than those listed in this test method may berequired by various specifications; if they are so used, the modification tothe test method should be stated in the test report.3.2 A large glass tube containing a sample of oil and metalspecimens
19、is placed in a constant temperature bath and heatedfor the specified number of hours while air is passed throughthe oil to provide agitation and a source of oxygen. Typically,temperatures of the bath used are from 100C to 360C.Weighed metal specimens are placed in the tube during the test.Corrosiven
20、ess of the oil is determined by loss in metal mass,and microscopic examination of the sample metal surface(s).Oil samples are withdrawn from the test oil and checked forchanges in viscosity and acid number as a result of theoxidation reactions.3.3 Metals used in the basic test and alternative Proced
21、ure 1are titanium, magnesium, steel (two types), bronze, silver, andaluminum. Metals used in alternative Procedure 2 are copper,steel, aluminum, magnesium, and cadmium. Other metals maybe specified.3.4 Sampling of the oil for analysis is done periodicallythroughout the test. Alternatively, no period
22、ic samples aretaken and a final viscosity and acid number are determined forcomparison with those of the original untested oil.3.5 At the end of the test, the amount of sludge present inthe oil remaining in the same tube is determined by centrifu-gation. Also, the quantity of oil lost during the tes
23、t isdetermined gravimetrically.3.6 Air is used dry in the standard test.Ahumidifier may beused to provide controlled moist air, if required.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method simulates the environment encounteredby fully formulated lubricating fluids in actual service and usesan accelerated
24、 oxidation rate to permit measurable results to beobtained in a reasonable time. The use of metals providescatalytic reactive surfaces of those materials commonly foundin real systems. The high temperature and air agitation helpaccelerate the oxidation reactions that are expected to occur.Moisture i
25、n the air adds another realistic condition thatencourages oil breakdown by facilitating acid formation.4.2 Interpretation of results should be done by comparisonwith data from oils of known field performance. The acceler-ated conditions likely will cause one or more of the followingmeasurable effect
26、s: mass change and corroded appearance ofsome metals; change of viscosity; increase in acid number;measurable reaction products in the form of sludge; and massloss of oil due to evaporation.4.3 This test method is most suitable for oils containingoxidation and corrosion inhibitors. Without such ingr
27、edient(s),the severe test conditions will yield rather drastic changes tothe oil.5.
