United States14.2 The glass container holding the oil mixture is
16、placed in a high pressure reactor equipped with a pressure gauge. The highpressure reactor is sealed, charged with oxygen to a pressure of 620 kPa (90 psig), 620 kPa (90 psig), and placed in an oil or drybath at 160C160 C at an angle of 30 from the horizontal. The high pressure reactor is rotated ax
17、ially at a speed of 100100 rr/min min forming a thin film of oil within the glass container resulting in a relatively large oil-oxygen contact area.NOTE 1A pressure sensing device can be used in place of a pressure gauge.4.3 The pressure of the high pressure reactor is recorded continuously from the
18、 beginning of the test and the test is terminatedwhen a rapid decrease of the high pressure reactor pressure is observed (Point B, Fig. A1.2). The period of time that elapsesbetween the time when the high pressure reactor is placed in the oil or dry bath and the time at which the pressure begins tod
19、ecrease rapidly is called the oxidation induction time and is used as a measure of the relative oil oxidation stability.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used to evaluate oxidation stability of lubricating base oils with additives in the presence of chemistriessimilar to those found in
20、gasoline engine service. Test results on some ASTM reference oils have been found to correlate withsequence IIID engine test results in hours for a 375 % viscosity increase.3 The test does not constitute a substitute for enginetesting, which measures wear, oxidation stability, volatility, and deposi
21、t control characteristics of lubricants. Properly interpreted,the test may provide input on the oxidation stability of lubricants under simulated engine chemistry.5.2 This test method is intended to be used as a bench screening test and quality control tool for lubricating base oilmanufacturing, esp
22、ecially for re-refined lubricating base oils. This test method is useful for quality control of oxidation stabilityof re-refined oils from batch to batch.5.3 This test method is useful for screening formulated oils prior to engine tests. Within similar additive chemistry and base oiltypes, the ranki
23、ng of oils in this test appears to be predictive of ranking in engine tests. When oils having completely differentadditive chemistry or base oil type are compared, oxidation stability results may not reflect the actual engine test result.3 Ku, C. S. and Hsu, S.
