Summary of Test Method4.1 This procedure utilizes a Dana Corporation Model 30 hy
17、poid differential assembly, Part No. 277701X, 4:10 ratio, standarddifferential with uncoated ring and pinion, without axle tubes.6,74.2 Test Unit PreparationPrior to each test, completely disassemble and clean the new differential housing assembly. Discardthe axle spacer block. Abrasive blast all ra
18、ted parts (except bearings and cups). Disassemble all bearings from their mating partsprior to abrasive blasting. Coat all internal parts and rated surfaces with test oil. Reassemble the unit to test specification values.Install the unit on the motoring rig and then connect an oil temperature monito
19、ring probe and a drive shaft. Place a cooling fanand heat lamps into position near the test unit.4.3 Motoring PhaseCharge the test unit with 40 oz (1.2 L) of test oil. Drive the test unit with an electric motor at 2500 rminpinion speed in an unloaded condition (no axle shafts are used for the test).
20、 Add 1 oz (30 mL) of specified test water into the oilfill opening (all other test unit openings having been already sealed). Install the pressure relief system and set to 1 psi (7 kPa). Plugthe relief system when the lubricant temperature reaches 180F (82.2 C). Continue the motoring phase for 4 h a
21、t this controlledtemperature.4.4 Storage PhaseStop the motor at the completion of the motoring phase. Remove the test unit from the motoring rig andplace in a storage box at 125F (52 C) for 162 h.4.5 InspectionAt the end of the storage phase, the test is complete. Drain the differential assembly, di
22、sassemble, and rate forrust, stain, and other deposits.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test simulates a type of severe field service in which corrosion-promoting moisture in the form of condensed watervapor accumulates in the axle assembly. This may happen as a result of volume expansion and contrac
23、tion of the axle lubricantand the accompanied breathing in of moisture-laden air through the axle vent. The test screens lubricants for their ability to preventthe expected corrosion.5.2 The test method described in this standard may be used by any properly equipped laboratory, without the assistanc
24、e ofanyone not associated with that laboratory. However, the ASTM Test Monitoring Center (TMC) provides reference oils and anassessment of the test results obtained on those oils by the laboratory (see Annex A7). By this means, the laboratory will knowwhether their use of the test method gives resul
25、ts statistically similar to those obtained by other laboratories. Furthermore, variousagencies require that a laboratory utilize the TMC services in seeking qualification of oils against specifications. For example, theU.S. Army imposes such a requirement in connection with several Army lubricating
26、oil specifications.5.3 The L-33-1 test procedure is used or referred to in the following documents: ASTM Publication STP-512A,8 SAE J308,SAE J2360, and U.S. Military Specification MIL-PRF-2105E.6.

36、e warm-up portion of themotoring phase with a specified water column pressure relief system set for 1.0 6 0.1 psi (7 kPa 6 0.7 kPa) connected to thehousing cover with an appropriately sized National Pipe Threads (NPT) stainless steel 90 street ell and a stainless steel full portvalve. The system sha
37、ll contain an oil trap and return vessel to return test oil to the unit in case of foaming, and a water trap andreturn vessel to prevent column water from moving back to test unit. The example set up in Fig. A1.1 has been shown to beacceptable.6.2.4 Housing Cover GasketReplace the factory-supplied g
38、asket with a single TFE fluorocarbon gasket for every test.11,76.2.5 Housing Axle Tube Opening SealsSince the differential is tested without axle shafts or axle tubes, seal the housingopenings. Fig.A1.2 shows an example of construction dimensions for fabricating a pair of seals to be installed in th
39、e axle housingopenings before introducing test oil prior to starting the test.6.2.6 Temperature Control System, Motoring PhaseDuring the motoring phase, the bulk oil temperature is sensed by aresistance temperature device (RTD) or thermocouple (J or K type). The controller switches on a pair of 250
40、W lamps or coolingfan, or both, that are directed toward the differential as needed to control bulk oil temperature at 180 6 1F (82 C 6 6 C). Ahousehold-type electric fan having 12.0-in. (310 mm) diameter blades has been shown to provide acceptable cooling capability.Fig. A1.3 shows an example of th
41、e location of the heat lamp pair and the cooling fan. Fig. A1.4 shows the location of thetemperature sensor in the differential housing.6.2.7 Storage Box and Temperature Control System, Storage PhaseDuring the storage phase of the test, a double-walledaluminum or stainless steel box covers the diffe
42、rential housing assembly. An RTD or thermocouple (J or K type) in conjunctionwith the controller regulates heat input from four strip heaters giving a total output of 1700 Btu/h (500 W). A small electric fan,rated at 1550 r/min, turns a fabricated impeller at (1700 6 100) rmin to provide air circula
43、tion within the box. Control the bulkoil temperature at 125 6 1F (52 C 6 6 C). Fig. A1.5 shows details of the impeller. Fig. A1.6 shows construction and electricaldetails of this box.NOTE 1Insulation on the outside surface of the box only may be necessary to maintain test temperature specifications.
