Appropriate technique establishes op-eration of the viscometer to yield 1106s1at a temperature of100C at which point test oils are introduced into the gapbetween the spinni
25、ng rotor and stationary stator. The rotorexhibits a reactive torque to the viscous resistance of each testoil and the value of this torque response is used to determinethe apparent viscosity of the test oil at 100C.5. Significance and Use5.1 Viscosity at the shear rate and temperature of this testme
26、thod is thought to be particularly representative of bearingconditions in large medium speed reciprocating engines as wellas automotive and heavy duty engines operating in thistemperature regime.5.2 The importance of viscosity under these conditions hasbeen stressed in railroad specifications.6. App
27、aratus6.1 Tapered Bearing Simulator Viscometers2(TBS)a vis-cometer consisting of a motor connected to a slightly taperedrotor that fits into a matched stator. Several models of the TBSare in use. All of these are capable of analyzing test oils at100C but earlier models are more limited in their uppe
28、rviscosity range.6.2 Different models of the tapered bearing simulator (TBS)have the following upper levels of operating viscosities at1106s1shear rate:6.2.1 Model Series 400 (similar to Fig. 1);14 mPas(cP), dual speed.6.2.2 Model Series 500 (Fig. 1); 16 mPas (cP) singlespeed.6.2.3 Model Series 600
29、(Fig. 2);100 mPas (cP) (usuallyliquid cooled), dual speed.6.2.4 Model Series SS (SuperShear) (similar to Fig. 1);20 mPas (cP), multi-speed.6.2.5 Model Series 2100 E (Fig. 3);20 mPas (cP) (seeNote 2), multi-speed.NOTE 2TBS Models 500, 600, and SS use a so-called bouncer toautomate unloading and reloa
30、ding the load cell just before taking a torquereading. (All automated units apply the bouncer at the appropriate point ofoperation as part of their program.) If a bouncer is not on the TBS modelused (Model 400), the effect is generated by placing the thumb on thebrass weight pin and turning the turn
31、table slightly in a clockwise directionand quickly releasing the turntable. The bearingless Models 2100 E do notrequire unloading the cell since there is no turntable bearing.6.3 Automated System for Calibration, Injection, and DataAnalysis ProgramsAn automated program for the TaperedBearing Simulat
32、or, simulating the manual method has beenused.6.4 ConsoleThe console shown in Fig. 4 is similar inModels 400, 500, and 600. Consoles for Series SS and 2100 Ehave provisions for changing motor speed.All consoles containthe power source for the load cell, thermoregulator circuit,stator-heating element
33、, and motor. They also contain thecircuitry for regulating and monitoring the temperature of theoil in the stator as well as the amplifier and digital readout ofthe load cell.NOTE 3The thermoregulator circuit of the TBS viscometers hasevolved as improvements have been made in the solid-state tempera
34、turecontroller and heater. To achieve the 5 min analysis time specified in thistest method requires a late model solid-state controller with automaticreset coupled to a thermo-foil stator heater with small heat inertia or afast-responding thermoregulated liquid bath.26.5 Cooling Systems Two cooling
35、systems are availablefor TBS viscometer work at 100C: forced air cooling andliquid bath cooling. The stator housing is prepared for theformer but must be modified for the latter according todirections from the manufacturer.D6616 07 (2012)26.6 Glass Syringe A 50-mL glass syringe equipped with aLuer n

38、ipmentSome form of recordingthe torque and temperature data produced by the taperedbearing simulator is desired in order to (1) determine torque/temperature equilibrium and (2) determine the torque withsufficient precision to calculate viscosity to the second decimalplace. Early in the use of the TB
39、S viscometer, a strip-chartrecorder was used, later an automated, computer-based record-ing system was developed with both a computer-simulatedstrip chart and with data digitally recorded.NOTE 4Although the console has a torque indicator that can be usedfor determining viscosity, it has been found t
40、hat the small oscillatoryvariation of torque with time makes desirable the recording and analysisof the torque output more precise, particularly when determining torqueequilibrium.FIG. 3 Multi-Speed Tapered Bearing Simulator Viscometer Model 2100EFIG. 4 Control Console for Tapered Bearing Simulator

42、5). The torque reading mustbe in milliVolts and the temperature in C with a full-scalechart range of 20 to 120C.6.8.1.2 Use a chart speed of 1 cm/min for recording.6.8.1.3 Set and, when necessary, reset, the strip chart torquevoltage to that which will permit recording the torque as muchas possible
43、on the upper two-thirds of the chart paper formaximum sensitivity.6.8.1.4 Factor the resulting voltage values to calculate thecorrect values of torque.NOTE 5Although the digital information from the torque output meteron the viscometer console can be, and is, used for recording additional testinform
44、ation, it is desirable to use a two-pen, strip-chart recorder or itscomputer equivalent since this provides a continuous torque/temperaturerecord of torque/temperature equilibrium necessary for precision incalibration and in calculating viscosity.6.8.2 Computer Accumulation of Torque and Temperature
45、DataComputer recording of digital data can also be used forthe test method. Such programs should show data for bothtorque and stator temperature. Torque information should becapable of permitting the calculation of viscosity to the seconddecimal place.7. Materials7.1 Reference Newtonian Calibration
