This test method may be used as a requirement ofa performance specification, such as Specification D 5760 andJ2360.5.2 Another major cause of seal
17、 failure is the formation ofcarbon, varnish, and sludge-like deposits on the seal lip. Thedeposit-forming characteristics of automotive gear oils areevaluated in Test Method D 5704. That procedure is intendedin part to evaluate the potential for oils to cause premature sealfailure in field service.6

Reagents and Materials7.1 Specific reference test oils are maintained and distrib-uted by the TMC.5To receive the test oils and seal materials,individual laboratories shall commit to furnishing the TMCwith reference data developed using these reference mate
24、rials.7.2 The CPD is responsible for maintaining the numberingand tracking system for the seal elastomer batches used.Certain specific information concerning these reference mate-rials is available only to the CPD. This information is used toensure batch-to-batch consistency.7.2.1 Information and lo
25、cation of the current CPD is alsoavailable from the TMC.7.3 Specific reference seal elastomers used are a nitrile (NI),a polyacrylate (PA), and a fluoroelastomer (FL). Notation ofthe numbering system is established by the TMC as follows:Type Ywhere:Type = NI, PA, FL, andY = Batch number of the parti
26、cular formulation.7.4 The shelf life for the seal elastomers is two years fromthe date the batch was cured. Invalidate any test with a sealcure date older than two years.7.4.1 Store the elastomers in a cool, dark, and dry place. Thepreferred method of storage is a refrigerator maintained at 3 to6C (
27、38 to 42F).7.5 The shelf life of reference oils is typically five yearsunless the TMC, through their analysis, specifies otherwise.7.6 Wetting solution of Aerosol OT0.1 % sodium diocytlsulfosuccinate, made by a 1.0 % dilution of a 10 % solutionwith reagent water.8. Procedure8.1 The testing laborator
28、y shall conduct reference oil testsconcurrently with the non-reference oil in the same oil bath.Reference oils shall perform within a specific range prescribedand evaluated by TMC for validity and updated as needed.8.2 Prior to cutting specimens and prior to performingelongation tests for initial pr
29、operties, allow 3 h for theelastomer to warm to 23+ 2C, as required by Test MethodD 412. Referring to the procedure in Test Method D 412, useDie C to cut a set of twelve dumbbell specimens out of theelastomer sheets as required for each reference and non-reference oil tested.8.2.1 Cut the dumbbells
30、parallel to the grain using the sameunaltered dies for the entire lot. When cutting dumbbells, onlycut one thickness at a time to avoid any dimensional variations.8.2.2 Cut all elastomer specimens, including those used formeasuring initial properties, from the same elastomer batch.Use these dumbbell
31、s for measuring the percent elongationchanges.8.2.3 Next, cut twelve 25 by 50 by 2.0 6 0.1-mm (1 by 2 by0.08 6 0.005-in.) rectangular specimens for the percent vol-ume change and hardness testing.8.2.4 Finally, cut twelve more NI, PA, and FL dumbbells forthe purpose of determining initial elongation
32、 properties.8.2.5 Randomly select sets of twelve dumbbells and twelverectangular specimens for testing from the different sheets oftest elastomers.8.2.6 Use the water displacement procedure in accordancewith Test Method D 471 to determine the initial volumemeasurements. Weigh the coupon in air, M1,
33、to the nearest 1mg. For the weight in water, immerse the coupon in a 1.0 %wetting solution of aerosol OT, then place the coupon indistilled water, M2, at ambient temperature. Make sure no airbubbles are clinging to the coupon surface before recording theweight to the nearest 1 mg.8.2.7 Ensure that i
34、nitial elastomer properties of hardnessand volume are determined prior to the start of testing. Initialelongation properties are determined just prior to running theend of test dumbbells because of instrument calibration.8.3 Fill the test tubes with 150 65 mL of non-reference orreference oil as appr
35、opriate.8.4 Use four test tubes for each elastomer/oil combination.In each tube, suspend from a stainless steel wire hanger bent ata 90 angle (dimensions shown in Fig. 1) three rectangularD 5662 06a2specimens and three dumbbells in each of the four tubes. Placespacers in between the specimens to aid
36、 in the separation. Thewidth of the spacer(s) shall be 1.7 6 0.3 mm. The spacermaterial shall not affect the liquid or the rubber.8.4.1 Fig. 2 shows the arrangement of spacers and testspecimens.8.4.2 Top the test tube with a stopper wrapped in aluminumfoil.8.4.3 Test the non-reference oil using one
37、or more of thethree different seal elastomers with the same batch of elas-tomers as being used for the reference oil.8.4.4 Place the tubes randomly in an oil bath capable ofmaintaining a test oil temperature within 61C for a period of240 6 0.5 h.8.4.5 Conduct all reference and non-reference oil test
38、ing oneach seal elastomer in the same oil bath. Complete referenceoil and non-reference oil tests for each seal elastomer within 8h of each other to be considered the same test.8.5 At the end of the test period, remove the specimens fromthe hot oil using the wire hanger and place them on a cleanabso
39、rbent towel. Allow the specimens to cool for no longerthan 30 min.8.5.1 Remove the specimens from the wire hanger, andplace them on a clean absorbent towel. Remove the excess oilwith a clean absorbent towel, and begin testing.8.6 Determine type A hardness testing, percent volume inair and water, and
40、 percent elongation, as done in 8.2.6 and8.2.7. Testing shall be completed within2hofremoval fromthe test oil.8.7 Observe the following notes/modifications to TestMethod D 471.8.7.1 Report percent change in elongation (see Test MethodD 412) and percent volume change (see Test Method D 471)from the o
41、riginal using the same water displacement proceduredescribed in 8.2.6.8.7.1.1 When using a wire hanger to aid in the weighing ofthe test coupon, deduct the weight of the wire hanger from thegross weight to determine the actual weight of the test coupon.Record the actual weight of the test coupons in
42、 the test reportand use the actual weights for the percent volume changecalculations.8.7.2 Report durometer TypeAhardness change points fromoriginal (see Test Method D 2240).8.7.2.1 On a hard horizontal surface, stack the three rectan-gular specimens on top of each other to obtain the 6-mmthickness
43、required by Test Method D 2240. Hardness readingsare to be taken 1 s after the pin makes contact with theelastomer. Take three readings on each side of the rectangularspecimen and report the average of all six readings.8.7.2.2 After taking the first set of measurements, rotate thebottom specimen to
44、the top of the stack and take a second setof measurements.8.7.2.3 Rotate the bottom specimen to the top one more timeto obtain the third set of measurements.8.7.3 For each data set, calculate the average value and thesample standard deviation using the equation:s5(xi x!2n 1(1)where:s = sample standa
45、rd deviation,n = number of data points in the set,XI= individual data set value,x = mean of the data set.Change in volume,%=(M3M4)(M1M2)/(M1M2)3 d 3 100where:M1 = the original weight in air,M2 = the original weight in water,M3 = the end of test weight in air,M4 = the end of test weight in water, and
46、d = the density of the medium in which the specimen wasweighed. In this case water is used, so the multipli-cation is by 1.9. Reference Oil Testing9.1 Test the TMC reference oils along with each batch ofnon-reference oil tests. Run the reference oils simultaneouslywith, and in the same bath as, the
47、non-reference oils.NOTE 1AnnexA1 discusses the involvement of theASTM TMC withrespect to the reference test-monitoring program.9.1.1 Prior to requiring a reference oil test, procure a supplyof reference oils directly from the TMC.
