1、Designation: D6891 14D6891 15Standard Test Method forEvaluation of Automotive Engine Oils in the Sequence IVASpark-Ignition Engine1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6891; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of rev
2、ision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONPortions of this test method are written for use by laboratories that make use of ASTM TestMonitori
3、ng Center (TMC)2 services (see Annex A1).The TMC provides reference oils, and engineering and statistical services to laboratories that desireto produce test results that are statistically similar to those produced by laboratories previouslycalibrated by the TMC.In general, the Test Purchaser decide
4、s if a calibrated test stand is to be used. Organizations such astheAmerican Chemistry Council require that a laboratory utilize the TMC services as part of their testregistration process. In addition, the American Petroleum Institute and the Gear Lubricant ReviewCommittee of the Lubricant Review In
5、stitute (SAE International) require that a laboratory use theTMC services in seeking qualification of oils against their specifications.The advantage of using the TMC services to calibrate test stands is that the test laboratory (andhence the Test Purchaser) has an assurance that the test stand was
6、operating at the proper level of testseverity. It should also be borne in mind that results obtained in a non-calibrated test stand may notbe the same as those obtained in a test stand participating in the ASTM TMC services process.Laboratories that choose not to use the TMC services may simply disr
7、egard these portions.1. Scope*1.1 This test method measures the ability of crankcase oil to control camshaft lobe wear for spark-ignition engines equippedwith an overhead valve-train and sliding cam followers. This test method is designed to simulate extended engine idling vehicleoperation. The Sequ
8、ence IVA Test Method uses a Nissan KA24E engine. The primary result is camshaft lobe wear (measured atseven locations around each of the twelve lobes). Secondary results include cam lobe nose wear and measurement of iron wearmetal concentration in the used engine oil. Other determinations such as fu
9、el dilution of crankcase oil, non-ferrous wear metalconcentrations, and total oil consumption, can be useful in the assessment of the validity of the test results.21.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.1.2.1 Exce

BBBBB represents the number of tests since the last calibration test on that stand. CCCCCrepresents the total number of Se
34、quence IVA tests conducted on that stand. For example, 6-10-175 represents the 175th SequenceIVAtest conducted on test stand 6 and the tenth test since the last calibration test. Consecutively number all tests. Number the standcalibration tests beginning with zero for the BBBBB field. Multiple-lengt
35、h Sequence IVAtests are multiple runs for test numberingpurposes, such as double-length tests which are counted as two runs and triple-length tests which are counted as three runs. Forexample, if test 1-3-28 is a doubled-length test, number the next test conducted on that stand 1-5-30.4.2 Test Engin
36、eThis procedure uses a fired 1994 model Nissan KA24E, in-line 4-cylinder, 4-cycle, water-cooled, portfuel-injected gasoline engine with a displacement of 2.389 L.11,12 The engine features a single overhead camshaft with slidingfollower rocker arms, with two intake valves and one exhaust valve per cy
37、linder, and hydraulic lash adjusters. The camshaft is notphosphate-coated or lubrited.4.3 Test StandCouple the test engine (devoid of alternator, cooling fan, water pump, clutch and transmission) to aneddy-current dynamometer for precise control of engine speed and torque. Specify the combined inert
38、ia of the driveline anddynamometer to ensure reproducible transient ramping of engine speed and torque. Control the intake air, provided to the engineair filter housing, for temperature, pressure, and humidity. Mount the engine similar to its vehicle orientation (tilted up 5.5 in front;sideways 10 u
39、p on intake manifold side; bottom of oil sump horizontal). Modify the engine ECM wiring harness, sensors, andactuators. The test stand plumbing shall conform to the diagrams shown in AnnexA3A7. Install the engine on a test stand equippedwith computer control of engine speed, torque, various temperat
40、ures, pressures, flows, and other parameters outlined in the testprocedure (see Section 11).4.4 Test SequenceAfter engine break-in or after the completion of a previous test, install a new test camshaft and rocker arms.Charge the fresh test oil to the engine and conduct two flushes. After completing
41、 both flushes, drain the used oil, and weigh andinstall the fresh test oil and filter. Conduct the test for a total of 100 h, 100 h, with no scheduled shutdowns. There are two operatingconditions, Stage I and Stage II; Stage I for 50 min and Stage II for 10 min comprise one test cycle. The test leng
42、th is 100 cycles.4.5 Analyses ConductedAfter test, measure the camshaft lobes using a surface profilometer. From these graphical profilemeasurements, determine the maximum wear at seven locations on the cam lobe. Determine individual cam lobe wear by summingthe seven location wear measurements. Aver
43、age the wear from the twelve cam lobes for the final, primary test result. After testcompletion, determine the oil consumption by the mass of used oil versus the fresh oil charged to the engine (including oil filter).Analyze the end of test used oil for fuel dilution, kinematic viscosity, and wear m
44、etals. Retain a final drain sample of 1 L for 90days. Retain the camshaft and rocker arms for six months.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method was developed to evaluate automotive lubricants effect on controlling cam lobe wear for overheadvalve-train equipped engines with sliding cam followers
