2、, 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.INTRODUCTIONThis test method is written for use by laboratories that use the portions of the test method that refert
3、oASTM Test Monitoring Center (TMC) services (see AnnexA1). Laboratories that choose not to usethe TMC services may simply disregard these portions.The TMC provides reference oils, and engineering and statistical services to laboratories that desireto produce test results that are statistically simil
4、ar to those produced by laboratories previouslycalibrated by the TMC.In general, the Test Purchaser decides if a calibrated test stand is to be used. Organizations such asthe American Chemistry Council require that a laboratory use the TMC services as part of their testregistration process. In addit
5、ion, the American Petroleum Institute and the Gear Lubricant ReviewCommittee of the Lubricant Review Institute (SAE International) require that a laboratory use theTMC services in seeking qualification of oils against their specifications.NOTE 1The advantage of using the TMC services to calibrate te
6、st stands is that the test laboratory (and hence theTest Purchaser) has an assurance that the test stand was operating at the proper level of test severity. It should also beborne in mind that results obtained in a non calibrated test stand may not be the same as those obtained in a test standpartic

Summary of Test Method4.1 This procedure utilizes a Dana Corporation Model 30 hypoid differential assembly, Part No. 277701X, 4:10 ratio, standarddifferential with uncoated ring and pinion, without axle tubes.6,74.2 Test Unit Preparati
22、onPrior to each test, completely disassemble and clean the new differential housing assembly. Discardthe axle spacer block. Abrasive blast all rated parts (except bearings and cups). Disassemble all bearings from their mating partsprior to abrasive blasting. Coat all internal parts and rated surface
23、s with test oil. Reassemble the unit to test specification values.Install the unit on the motoring rig and then connect an oil temperature monitoring 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)
24、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). 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 s
25、ystem 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 at this controlledtemperature.4.4 Storage PhaseStop the motor at the completion of the motoring phase. Remove the test unit from the motoring rig andplace i
26、n 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, disassemble, and rate forrust, stain, and other deposits.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test simulates a type of severe field service in which corrosion-pro
27、moting moisture in the form of condensed watervapor accumulates in the axle assembly. This may happen as a result of volume expansion and contraction of the axle lubricantand the accompanied breathing in of moisture-laden air through the axle vent. The test screens lubricants for their ability to pr

31、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 results statistically similar to those obtained by other laboratories. Furthermore, variousagencies require that a laboratory utilize the TMC
32、 services in seeking qualification of oils against specifications. For example, theU.S. Army imposes such a requirement in connection with several Army lubricating oil specifications.5.2 The L-33-1 test procedure is used or referred to in the following documents: ASTM Publication STP-512A,8 SAE J308

The system shall cont
41、ain 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. A1.1A5.1 has been shown to beacceptable.6.2.4 Housing Cover GasketReplace the factory-supplied gask
42、et 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. A1.2A5.2 shows an example of construction dimensions for fabricating a pair of seals to be installed in
43、the axlehousing openings 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 25
44、0 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. A1.3A5.3 shows an example
45、 of the location of the heat lamp pair and the cooling fan. Fig. A1.4A5.4 shows the location ofthe temperature 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
46、 the differential 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 a
47、ir circulation within the box. Control the bulkoil temperature at 125 6 1F (52 C 6 6 C). Fig. A1.5A5.5 shows details of the impeller.
