Summary of Test Method4.1 A 2-mL test specimen of fuel is placed in the testreservoir of an HFRR.4.2 A vibrator arm holding a nonrotating steel
17、 ball andloaded with a 200-g mass is lowered until it contacts a test diskcompletely submerged in the fuel. When the fuel temperaturehas stabilized, the ball is caused to rub against the disk with a1-mm stroke at a frequency of 50 Hz for 75 min.4.3 The test fuel temperature is maintained at 60C and
18、theambient relative humidity is maintained between 30 % and85 %.4.4 At the conclusion of the test, the upper specimen holderis removed from the vibrator arm and cleaned. The image ofthe wear scar is captured using the microscope digital camera,and the dimensions of the major and minor axes of the we
19、arscar are measured and recorded.5. Significance and Use5.1 Diesel fuel injection equipment has some reliance onlubricating properties of the diesel fuel. Shortened life ofengine components, such as diesel fuel injection pumps andinjectors, has sometimes been ascribed to lack of lubricity in adiesel
20、 fuel.5.2 The trend of HFRR test results to diesel injection systempump component distress due to wear has been demonstratedin pump rig tests for some fuel/hardware combinations whereboundary lubrication is believed to be a factor in the operationof the component.65.3 The wear scar generated in the
21、HFRR test is sensitive tocontamination of the fluids and test materials, the temperatureof the test fuel, and the ambient relative humidity. Lubricityevaluations are also sensitive to trace contaminants acquiredduring test fuel sampling and storage.5.4 The HFRR and Scuffing Load Ball on Cylinder Lub
22、ric-ity Evaluator (SLBOCLE, Test Method D6078) are two meth-ods for evaluating diesel fuel lubricity. No absolute correlationhas been developed between the two test methods.5.5 The HFRR may be used to evaluate the relative effec-tiveness of diesel fuels for preventing wear under the pre-scribed test
23、 conditions. Correlation of HFRR test results withfield performance of diesel fuel injection systems has not yetbeen determined.5.6 This test method is designed to evaluate boundarylubrication properties. While viscosity effects on lubricity inthis test method are not totally eliminated, they are mi
