17、parent viscosity can varywith shear rate.3.2.2 calibration oils, noils with known viscosity andviscosity/temperature functionality that are used to define thecalibration relationship between viscosity and cold-crankingsimulator rotor speed.3.2.3 check oil, na batch of test oil used to monitormeasure

Summary of Test Method4.1 An electric motor drives a rotor that is closely f
19、ittedinside a stator. The space between the rotor and stator is filledwith oil. Test temperature is measured near the stator inner walland maintained by removing heat with a controlled process tomaintain a constant stator temperature during test. The speed ofthe rotor is calibrated as a function of
20、viscosity. Test oilviscosity is determined from this calibration and the measuredrotor speed.5. Significance and Use5.1 The CCS apparent viscosity of automotive engine oilscorrelates with low temperature engine cranking. CCS appar-ent viscosity is not suitable for predicting low temperature flowto t
21、he engine oil pump and oil distribution system. Enginecranking data were measured by the Coordinating ResearchCouncil (CRC) L-495test with reference oils that had viscosi-ties between 600 mPas and 8400 mPas (cP) at 17.8 C andbetween 2000 mPas and 20 000 mPas (cP) at 28.9 C. Thedetailed relationship
22、between this engine cranking data andCCS apparent viscosities is in Appendixes X1 and X2 of the1967 T edition of Test Method D26026and CRC Report 409.5Because the CRC L-49 test is much less precise and standard-ized than the CCS procedures, CCS apparent viscosity need notaccurately predict the engin
23、e cranking behavior of an oil in aspecific engine. However, the correlation of CCS apparentviscosity with average CRC L-49 engine cranking results issatisfactory.5.2 The correlation between CCS and apparent viscosityand engine cranking was confirmed at temperatures between1 C and 40 C by work on 17
24、commercial engine oils (SAEgrades 5W, 10W, 15W, and 20W). Both synthetic and mineraloil based products were evaluated. See ASTM STP 621.75.3 A correlation was established in a low temperatureengine performance study between light duty engine startabil-ity and CCS measured apparent viscosity. This st
25、udy used ten1990s engines at temperatures ranging from 5 C down to40 C with six commercial engine oils (SAE 0W, 5W, 10W,15W, 20W, and 25W).85.4 The measurement of the cranking viscosity of basestocks is typically done to determine their suitability for use inengine oil formulations.Asignificant numb
26、er of the calibrationoils for this method are base stocks that could be used in engineoil formulations.6.
