Significance and Use5.1 There are several major causes of automotive lubricant-related seal failures. This test method addresses only thosefailu
16、res caused by excessive elastomer hardening, elongationloss, and volume swell and attempts to determine the likeli-hood that an oil might cause premature sealing system failuresin field use. This test method may be used as a requirement ofa performance specification, such as Specification D5760 andJ
17、2360.5.2 Another major cause of seal 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 D5704. That procedure is intended inpart to evaluate the potential for oils to cause prema

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 TMCwit
24、h reference data developed using these reference materials.7.2 The CPD is responsible for maintaining the numberingand tracking system for the seal elastomer batches used. TheSurveillance Panel is responsible for approval of elastomerbatches (see Appendix X1). Only approved elastomer batchesare to b
25、e used for reference tests and tests run to meet industryspecifications. Certain specific information concerning thesereference materials is available only to the CPD. This infor-mation is used to ensure batch-to-batch consistency.7.2.1 Information and location of the current CPD is alsoavailable fr
26、om 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 particular formulation.7.4 The shelf life for the
27、seal elastomers is two years fromthe date the batch was cured. Invalidate any test with a sealcure date older than two years. Consult the TMC for anyapproved exceptions to this lifespan. Place a note in thecomments section of the test report where exceptions havebeen approved.7.4.1 Store elastomers
28、in a refrigerator maintained at(3 to 6) C.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. Pro
29、cedure8.1 The testing laboratory 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 performing
30、elongation tests for initial properties, allow 3 h for theelastomer to warm to (23 6 2) C, as required by Test MethodD412. Referring to the procedure in Test Method D412, useDie C to cut a set of twelve dumbbell specimens out of theelastomer sheets as required for each reference and non-reference oi
31、l tested.8.2.1 Cut the dumbbells 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 e
32、lastomer batch.Use these dumbbells for measuring the percent elongationchanges.8.2.3 Next, cut twelve (25 by 50) mm by (2.0 6 0.1) mmrectangular specimens for the percent volume change andhardness testing.8.2.4 Finally, cut twelve more NI, PA, and FLdumbbells forthe purpose of determining initial el
33、ongation 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 D471 to determine the initial volumemeasurements. Weigh the coupon in ai
34、r, M1, to the nearestD5662 1321 mg. For the mass 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 themass to the nearest 1 mg.8.2.7 E
35、nsure that initial 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 6 5) mLof non-reference orreferen
