Summary of Test Method4.1 The test oil is mixed in a glass container with three otherliquids that are used to simulate engine conditions: (1)anoxidized/nitrated fuel component (Annex A2), (2) a mixture ofsoluble metal naphthenates (lea
11、d, copper, iron, manganese, andtin naphthenates (Annex A3), and (3) Type I reagent water.4.2 The glass container holding the oil mixture is placed ina high pressure reactor equipped with a pressure gauge. Thehigh pressure reactor is sealed, charged with oxygen to apressure of 620 kPa (90 psig), and
12、placed in an oil bath at160C at an angle of 30 from the horizontal. The high pressurereactor is rotated axially at a speed of 100 r/min forming a thinfilm of oil within the glass container resulting in a relativelylarge oil-oxygen contact area.NOTE 1A pressure sensing device can be used in place of
13、a pressuregauge.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Products and Lubricants and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeD02.09.0G on Oxidation Testing of Engine Oils.Current edition approved Oct. 15, 2008.

16、t and the test isterminated when a rapid decrease of the high pressure reactorpressure is observed (Point B, Fig. A1.2). The period of timethat elapses between the time when the high pressure reactor isplaced in the oil bath and the time at which the pressure beginsto decrease rapidly is called the
17、oxidation induction time and isused as a measure of the relative oil oxidation stability.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used to evaluate oxidation stabilityof lubricating base oils with additives in the presence ofchemistries similar to those found in gasoline engine service.Test res
18、ults on some ASTM reference oils have been found tocorrelate with sequence IIID engine test results in hours for a375 % viscosity increase.3The test does not constitute asubstitute for engine testing, which measures wear, oxidationstability, volatility, and deposit control characteristics of lubri-c
19、ants. Properly interpreted, the test may provide input on theoxidation stability of lubricants under simulated engine chem-istry.5.2 This test method is intended to be used as a benchscreening test and quality control tool for lubricating base oilmanufacturing, especially for re-refined lubricating
20、base oils.This test method is useful for quality control of oxidationstability of re-refined oils from batch to batch.5.3 This test method is useful for screening formulated oilsprior to engine tests. Within similar additive chemistry andbase oil types, the ranking of oils in this test appears to be
21、predictive of ranking in engine tests. When oils havingcompletely different additive chemistry or base oil type arecompared, oxidation stability results may not reflect the actualengine test result.5.4 Other oxidation stability test methods have demon-strated that soluble metal catalyst supplies are
22、 very inconsistentand they have significant effects on the test results. Thus, fortest comparisons, the same source and same batch of metalnaphthenates shall be used.NOTE 2It is also recommended as a good research practice not to usedifferent batches of the fuel component in test comparisons.6.
