Summary of Practice4.1 High VI hydraulic fluids often contain high molecular weight thickeners,
20、 called viscosity index (VI) improvers, whichimpart non-Newtonian characteristics to the fluid. These polymers may shear degrade with use, and reduce the in-service viscosityof the fluids.4.2 This practice provides uniform guidelines for characterizing oils in terms of both their high and low temper
21、ature viscositiesbefore and after exposure to high shear stress.4.2.1 Since the performance of fluids at temperatures higher than 40C is determined in the worst case, that is, most severesituation, by the sheared oil viscosity, the viscosity and viscosity index used to characterize fluids in this pr
22、actice are those of thesheared fluid.4.2.2 This practice classifies oils at low temperature by their new oil properties. Low temperature viscosities do not decreasegreatly, if at all, with polymer shear degradation. Furthermore, this approach ensures that the fluid will be properly classified undert
23、he worst-case conditions, that is, when the fluid is new.4.3 This practice may be used with either Newtonian or non-Newtonian hydraulic fluids. This provides the user with a morereasonable basis to compare fluids than previous practices.5. Significance and Use5.1 The purpose of this practice is to e
24、stablish viscosity designations derived from viscosities measured by test methods whichhave a meaningful relationship to hydraulic fluid performance. This permits lubricant suppliers, lubricant users, and equipmentdesigners to have a uniform and common basis for designating, specifying, or selecting
25、 the viscosity characteristics of hydraulicfluids.5.2 This practice is not intended to be a replacement for Classification D2422. Rather, it is an enhancement intended to providea better description of the viscosity characteristics of lubricants used as hydraulic fluids.5.3 This practice implies no
26、evaluation of hydraulic oil quality other than its viscosity and shear stability under the conditionsspecified.5.4 While it is not intended for other functional fluids, this practice may be useful in high-shear-stress applications whereviscosity index (VI) improvers are used to extend the useful ope
27、rating temperature range of the fluid.5.5 This practice does not apply to other lubricants for which viscosity classification systems already exist, for example, SAEJ300 for automotive engine oils and SAE J306 for axle and manual transmission lubricants.6. Procedure6.1 The low temperature viscosity
28、grade of a fluid is based on the viscosity of new oil measured using a Brookfield viscometer,Test Method D2983.D6080 12a26.1.1 The viscosity shall be interpolated from measurements at three temperatures spanning the temperature at which theviscosity is 750 mPas. A smooth graph of these data (log vis
29、cosity versus temperature) determines the temperature at which theoil has a viscosity of 750 mPas.6.1.2 The temperature determined in 6.1.1 shall be rounded to a whole number in accordance with Practice E29.6.1.3 The low temperature viscosity grade is determined by matching the temperature determine
30、d in 6.1.2 with the requirementsshown in Table 1.6.2 The high temperature viscosity designation of a fluid is the 40C kinematic viscosity (Test Method D445) of a fluid whichhas been sheared using Test Method D5621.6.2.1 The kinematic viscosity determined in 6.2 shall be rounded to a whole number in
31、accordance with Practice E29.6.2.2 For a fluid known to contain no polymeric components which will shear degrade, the high temperature viscositydesignation is the 40C kinematic viscosity (Test Method D445) of the new fluid, rounded per 6.2.1.6.2.3 If the 40C kinematic viscosity from 6.2.1 fails to m
32、eet the same designation consistently (for example, it varies becauseof spread in base stock or component specifications, or variability in kinematic viscosity or shear stability measurements), thelower designation must be used to ensure conformance with 6.5 below.6.3 The viscosity index designation
33、 of the fluid is based on the viscosity index as determined using Practice D2270 on fluidwhich has been sheared using Test Method D5621.6.3.1 The viscosity index determined in 6.3 shall be rounded to the nearest ten units in accordance with Practice E29. This valueis the viscosity index designation.
34、6.3.2 For fluids which do not contain polymeric components, the viscosity index is determined on the new fluid using PracticeD2270. The viscosity index designation for the fluid is established by rounding this viscosity index to the nearest ten units inaccordance with Practice E29.NOTE 2The guidelin
35、es for rounding viscosity in 6.2.1 and 6.2.2 and viscosity index in 6.3.1 and 6.3.2 are specific to this practice and should not beconfused with the larger number of significant figures that can be reported when Test Methods D445 and D2270 are used for other purposes.6.3.3 If the viscosity index fai
36、ls to meet the same designation consistently, that is, it varies between the lower values for onedesignation and the higher values for the next lower designation (for example, it varies because of spread in base stock orcomponent specifications, or variability in kinematic viscosity or shear stabili
37、ty measurements), the lower designation must be usedto ensure conformance with 6.5 below.6.4 For the sake of uniformity of nomenclature in identifying the viscosity characteristics of hydraulic fluids, the followingdesignation shall be used:ISO VG xxLyy-zz (VI)where xx is the new oil viscosity grade
38、 as determined by Classification D2422 (Table 2); Lyy is the low temperature viscositygrade as determined in 6.1; zz is the high temperature sheared viscosity designation as determined in 6.2; and VI is the viscosityindex designation as determined in 6.3.6.4.1 If the new oil viscosity does not meet
39、a grade described by Classification D2422, the ISO VG xx portion of the designationdoes not apply. In such cases, the Lyy-zz (VI) designation may still be used, and the use of any other descriptors for the new oilis at the discretion of the fluid marketer.6.4.2 Examples of use of this practice are s

42、ing control that seems appropriate to his operation. However, it is the responsibilityof the blender to ensure that all production fully meets the requirements for the viscosity designation on the container.7. Interpretation of Results7.1 The designation determined for a hydraulic fluid as described
43、 in 6.4 may be used in combination with a manufacturersviscosity recommendations for specific equipment to estimate an acceptable temperature range over which that fluid may be usedin that equipment.7.2 The low temperature grade determined in 6.1, Lyy, defines the lowest recommended fluid temperatur
44、e at which the fluid maybe used in equipment with a start-up, under load limit of 750 mPas, max.7.2.1 The low temperature limit is determined by comparing the Lyy designation with the corresponding temperature in Table1.7.2.2 Example 1aFor an oil with the designation:ISO VG 46L32-40 ,the low tempera
45、ture grade is defined by L32. Reference to Table 1 indicates that this oil has a viscosity of 750 mPas at atemperature between 8 and 14C. Hence, in equipment which has a low temperature start-up viscosity limit of 750 mPas, theoil in this example may be used down to at least 8C.7.2.3 Example 2aFor a
46、n oil with the designation:ISO VG 68L46-57the low temperature grade is defined by L46. Reference to Table 1 indicates that this oil has a viscosity of 750 mPas at atemperature between 2 and 7C. Hence, in equipment which has a low temperature start-up viscosity limit of 750 mPas, the oilin this examp
47、le may be used down to at least 2C.7.2.4 This practice is not quantitative when a manufacturer specifies lower or higher start-up viscosity limits. However, theprocess described in 6.1 can be used to determine low temperature limitations corresponding to any start-up viscosity.7.3 The high temperatu
48、re designation determined in 6.2 and the viscosity index determined in 6.3, zz (VI), can be used incombination with the data in Figs. 1-4 to estimate high temperature operating limits (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) and optimum operatingtemperatures (Fig. 3 and Fig. 4) for the fluid.7.3.1 Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 appl
