9、DiscussionIn this test method, corrosion is mani-fested by red rust or black stains on the bearing race. Stains,through which the underlying metal surface is still visible, arenot considered corrosion in Test Method D 5969 and shall beignored. D 17434. Summary of Test Method4.1 New, cleaned, and lub

20、 the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society,where such specifications are available.6Other grades may beused, provided that it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficiently high purity to permit its use without lessening theaccuracy of the determination.7.2 Puri

23、ingPoison. May be fatal if swal-lowed.)8. Standardization of Thrust Loading Device8.1 Pack a bearing, and install it into the holder. Place theassembly into a plastic jar as described in 10.1-10.4. Place thejar onto the base of the motor drive spindle and center it underthe indexing pin of the drive
24、. Lower the drive until the O-ringjust contacts the 1-kg weight. Run the bottom nut of the depthgage (see Fig. 3) down to the stop. Place a 3-mm spacer on topof this nut. Bring the top nut down to the spacer. While holdingthe top nut in position, remove the spacer and run the bottomnut up and tighte
25、n it against the top nut. When the O-ring iscompressed against the 1-kg weight until the adjustment nuthits the stop, there will be a 29-N load added, giving a totalload of 39 N on the bearing. (The loads described are providedby the forces of the spring in the thrust loading spindle and thesum of t
26、he 1-kg weight and spring, respectively. These loadsare approximate. The 1-kg weights should be within 0.010 kgof their stated values. The thrust loading spindle should becalibrated by some suitable method when it is first put intoservice, recalibrated periodically, and replaced if its springdoes no
27、t provide sufficient force to spin the test bearingswithout slippage during the 60-s run to distribute the grease.)Examine the O-ring periodically, and replace it if it shows anycracks or other signs of deterioration.8.2 The thrust loading device should be standardized beforeuse, once per day if use
28、d daily, and again if there is reason tobelieve that the standardization has changed. The thrust load-ing device may be standardized using one of the greases to betested.9. Preparation of Bearings9.1 Examine the test bearings carefully and select onlybearings that have outer races (cups) and rollers
29、 entirely free ofcorrosion. During the bearing preparation, handle the bearingswith tongs or rubber or plastic gloves. Do not touch bearingswith the fingers at any time.9.2 Wash the selected bearings thoroughly in hot (52 to66C) mineral spirits, reagent grade (Warningsee 7.5)toremove the rust preven
30、tive. To ensure complete removal of therust preventive, subject the bearings to a second wash in freshhot mineral spirits, reagent grade.NOTE 1The washing temperatures specified are considerably abovethe flash point of the solvent. Accordingly, the washing operation shouldbe carried out in a well-ve
31、ntilated hood where no flames or other ignitionsources are present.9.3 Transfer the bearing from the mineral spirits, reagentgrade to the solvent rinse solution (Warningsee 7.4.3)toremove the mineral spirits, reagent grade and any fingerprintsthat may be present. Then rinse the bearing and slowly ro
32、tateit in fresh hot (66 6 5C) solvent rinse solution.NOTE 2Fresh solvent rinse solution must be used to avoid selectiveevaporation of the components at the rinse temperature.9.4 Remove the bearing from the solvent rinse solution andplace it on filter paper to drain. After draining, dry the bearingin
33、 an oven at 70 6 5C for 15 to 30 min.9.5 Permit the bearing to cool to room temperature andreexamine its surfaces to ensure that corrosion-free and free-turning specimens have been selected. (Take care not to spinthe bearings after cleaning and drying.)6Reagent Chemicals, American Chemical Society S

(89102 mm)FIG. 2 Plastic Test JarD596905e239.6 Wash and dry the bearing packer using the sametechnique as for the preparation of the bearings.10. Procedure10.1 With t
36、he reservoir of the grease packer resting on aclean bench top, and while wearing gloves, place the bearingcup with the small diameter face down into the recess of thepacker. Place the bearing cone over the cut, and while holdingthe bearing assembly against the packer, lift and invert thewhole unit a
37、nd return it to the bench.10.2 Fill the reservoir with the grease sample, and use theplunger to force grease through the bearing. Carefully removethe plunger from the reservoir to avoid sucking air into thebearing, and slide the packer unit over the edge of the bench.While holding the bearing assemb
38、ly in the packer, invert theunit to its original position on the bench.10.3 Using a small square-ended spatula, remove excessgrease from the bearing bore and the annulus between thegrease packer and outer perimeter of the bearing cup. Thebearing is removed from the packer by either the use of thepli
39、ers4or by placing a gloved index finger in the bore andlifting it out.10.3.1 While holding the bearing, use the spatula to removeexcess grease above the cage on both sides of the bearing. Thisprocedure is done to ensure that approximately the samevolume of grease is used each time.10.4 Using Fig. 1
40、as a guide, hold the packed bearingbetween gloved fingers with the large inside diameter of theFIG. 3 Run-in Stand DrawingFIG. 4 Spindle/Thrust Loading DeviceD596905e24cup downward and insert the small diameter plastic flange ontop of the bore, and the larger flange into the bottom of thebore. Slide
41、 the bearing assembly onto the 1-kg weight so thatthe large diameter flange fits into the recess on top of theweight. Insert the bolt through the assembly and screw the bolttightly into the weight. Lower the plastic bearing holder (Part8) over the bearing. (The large O-ring faces upward.) Pressdown
42、the holder so that the bearing fits squarely into the holder.10.5 Invert a plastic jar over the bearing assembly. Slide thetwo components over the edge of the bench, and with fingerspressing the weight against the inner bottom of the jar, invertthe entire assembly.10.6 Place the jar onto the base of
43、 the motor-driven spindleand center under the indexing pin of the drive. After the pin isengaged, start the motor and bring the drive into the center ofthe 1-kg weight. Load until the nut hits the depth stop. Run for60 6 3 s and allow the bearing to coast to a stop. Hold it withtwo fingers and then
44、raise the drive. Take extreme care not tobreak the contact between the races and rollers at this point andin the following steps.NOTE 3At no time during or after the 60-s run shall the grease beredistributed or forced back into the bearing.10.7 Using synthetic sea water (Warningsee 7.6) pre-pared as
45、 in Test Method D 665, make a dilution with distilledwater (by volume, at the desired concentration) to obtain theproper test solution. The synthetic sea water should be no morethan one week old.10.8 Fill a clean syringe with 100 6 5 mL of the freshlyprepared synthetic sea water test solution. With
46、the run-inbearing in the jar, simultaneously start a timer and begin addingthe synthetic sea water solution into the hole provided for thispurpose in the bearing holder. Add the 100 mL of the solutionwithin 20 6 3 s. When the timer shows 60 s, start withdrawingthe solution. By 80 6 3 s, complete the
47、 withdrawal of 70 6 75mL of the solution. Leave the remaining 25 to 30 mL of thesolution in the jar. Make sure that water does not touch thebearing after 70 6 5 mL is withdrawn. It may be difficult towithdraw 70 6 5 mL of water in 10 seconds using a 16 gageneedle. A larger needle may be required.10.
48、9 Screw the cap on the jar and transfer to a dark ovenessentially free from vibration for 24 h at 52 6 1C.NOTE 4Test Method D 1743 calls for 48 h at 52 6 1C.10.10 Prepare three bearings for each grease sample to betested at the percentage of dilute synthetic sea water of interest.Each group of three
49、 bearings is one test. See Table 1 forconversion.11. Rating Procedure11.1 Remove the bearing from the test jar and place thebearing cup in a 50/50 mixture by volume of isopropyl alcohol(Warningsee 7.3 and 7.5) and mineral spirits, reagent grade(WarningCombustible. Vapor harmful). The solvent mix-ture can be heated to facilitate the removal of the grease.Agitate vigorously to remove the grease. Repeat the rinsingusing fresh solvent mixture or gently wipe the bearing with aclean cloth or tissue to ensure that traces of grease areremoved.11.2 Transfe
