17、 low temperature, apparent 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 us

Summary of Test Method4.1 An electric motor drives a rot
19、or that is closely fittedinside 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 calibrat
20、ed as a function of 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
21、temperature flowto the 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. Thede
22、tailed relationship 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 notaccurate
23、ly predict the engine 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
24、 40 C by work on 17 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 apparen
25、t viscosity. This study 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 formulatio
26、ns.Asignificant number of the calibrationoils for this method are base stocks that could be used in engineoil formulations.6. Apparatus6.1 Two types of apparatus are described for use in this testmethod: the manual cold-cranking simulator (see AppendixX1) and the automated CCS (see 6.2 and 6.3).6.2
27、Automated CCS,9consisting of a direct current (dc)electric motor that drives a rotor inside a stator; a rotor speedsensor or tachometer that measures rotor speed; a dc ammeterand fine current-control adjust dial; a stator temperature controlsystem that maintains temperature within 0.05 C of set poin
28、t;and a heat removal system with a temperature control system,a computer, computer interface, and test sample injectionpump.6.3 Automatic Automated CCS,9as described in 6.2 with theaddition of an automated sample table allowing multiple testsamples to be run sequentially under computer control witho
29、utoperator attention.6.4 Calibrated Thermistor,9sensor for insertion in a wellnear the inside surface of the stator to indicate the testtemperature.6.4.1 There must be good thermal contact between thetemperature sensor and the thermal well in the stator; clean thisthermal well periodically and repla
30、ce the small drop ofhigh-silver-containing heat transfer medium.6.5 Heat Removal System:6.5.1 For stators with coolant contact, a refrigerator for theliquid coolant is needed to maintain coolant temperature atleast 10 C below the test temperature. When the coolanttemperature is below 30 C a two-stag
31、e refrigeration systemis likely needed. The length of the tubing connections betweenthe CCS and the refrigerator should be as short as possible (lessthan 1 m) and well insulated.5CRC Report No. 409 “Evaluation of Laboratory Viscometers for PredictingCranking Characteristics of Engine Oils at -0F and

Sampling9.1 To obtain valid results, use an appropriate means of bulksampling (see Practice D4057) to obtain a representativesample of test oil free from sus
46、pended solid material and water.When the sample in its container is received below the dewpoint temperature of the room, allow the sample to warm toroom temperature before opening its container. When thesample contains suspended solid material, use centrifuge toremove particles greater than 5 m in s
47、ize and decant off thesupernate. Filtering is not recommended. DO NOT shake thesample of test oil. This leads to entrainment of air, and a falseviscosity reading.9.2 For some sample types, such as viscous lube oils that areprone to having entrained air or gas bubbles present in thesample, the use of
48、 an ultrasonic bath (see 6.6) without theheater turned on (if so equipped), has been found effective indissipating bubbles typically within 5 min.10. Calibration10.1 On installation of a new instrument or when any part ofthe viscometric cell or drive component (motor, belt, and soforth) is replaced,
49、 set the motor current as described below.Recheck the motor current (as described in 10.3) monthly untilthe change in motor current in consecutive months is less than0.005 A and every three months thereafter.NOTE 1See Appendix X4 for a flowchart for calibration.10.2 Temperature VerificationUsing the temperature veri-fication plugs, verify that the instrument is accurately comput-ing the correct temperature.
