3、il 2007.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the oxidation stability oflubricants by thin-film oxygen uptake (TFOUT) Catalyst B.This test method evaluates the oxidation stability of petroleumproducts, and it was originally developed as a screening test toindicate whether a given re-refined base stoc
4、k could beformulated for use as automotive engine oil3(see Test MethodD 4742). The test is run at 160C in a pressure vessel underoxygen pressure, and the sample contains a metal catalystpackage, a fuel catalyst, and water to partially simulate oilconditions in an operating engine. In addition, the t
5、est methodhas since been found broadly useful as an oxidation test ofpetroleum products.41.2 The applicable range of the induction time is from a fewminutes up to several hundred minutes or more. However, therange of induction times used for developing the precisionstatements in this test method was
6、 from 40 to 280 min.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this stand

18、in an oil bath at 160C at an angle of 30from the horizontal. The pressure vessel is rotated axially at aspeed of 100 r/min forming a thin film of oil within the glasscontainer resulting in a relatively large oil-oxygen contact area.4.3 The pressure of the pressure vessel is recorded continu-ously fr
19、om the beginning of the test and the test is terminatedwhen a rapid decrease of the pressure vessel pressure isobserved (Point B, Fig. 1). The period of time that elapsesbetween the time when the pressure vessel is placed in the oilbath and the time at which the pressure begins to decreaserapidly is
20、 called the oxidation induction time and is used as ameasure of the relative oil oxidation stability.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method was originally developed to evaluateoxidation stability of lubricating base oils combined withadditives chemistries similar to those found in gasoline engi
21、neoils and service.25.2 This test method is useful for screening formulated oilsbefore engine tests. Within similar additive chemistries andbase oil types, the ranking of oils in this test appears to bepredictive of ranking in certain engine tests. When oils havingdifferent additive chemistries or b
22、ase oil type are compared,results may or may not reflect results in engine tests. Onlygasoline engine oils were used in generating the precisionstatements in this test method.6.

The catalyst may be prepared according to the proceduresdescribed in Annex A4.8.1.2.1 Other oxidation stability test methods have demon-strated that soluble metal cata

Rinse theinside of the stem with isopropyl alcohol and blow dry with oilfree compressed air. For users of apparatus described in AnnexA1, periodically insert a dry pipe cl

If the pressure drops more than0.690 kPa (0.1 psi) on the pressu

If the problem continues, contact thespecific equipment manufacturer.NOTE 7Previous versions of this test method have called for hydro-static testing of the pressure vessel. This was found
41、 unnecessary at therelatively low pressures involved in running this test method.9.5 Cleaning of Catalyst SyringesUse individual catalystsyringes for each catalyst component. Thoroughly clean anddry syringes prior to each use. (See Annex A5 for recom-mended procedure.)10. Procedure10.1 Weighing and
42、Mixing Sample and Catalyst Compo-nents:10.1.1 Place the clean glass sample container onto theprecision balance and tare.10.1.2 Weigh 1.500 6 0.001 g of oil sample into thecontainer and tare.10.1.3 Add 0.045 6 0.001 g of the soluble metal catalystmixture into the glass sample container and tare.10.1.
43、4 Add 0.030 6 0.001 g each of the fuel component,nitro-paraffin and reagent water to the glass sample containerand tare each time. It is easiest to add the distilled water lastand place on top of the oil sample.10.1.5 Just prior to inserting the glass sample container intothe pressure vessel, thorou
44、ghly mix the catalyst componentswithin the sample container by hand-rotation (approximatelyfive rotations) and proceed immediately to 10.2. Delay mayresult in variation of results.10.2 Pressure Vessel Assembly and ChargingImmediatelyand rapidly assemble and charge the pressure vessel in accor-dance
45、with apparatus type (see A1.2 or A2.7).NOTE 8Avoid releasing the oxygen too rapidly by decreasing thepressure to atmospheric in no less than 1 min to avoid possible foamingand overflow of the sample from the glass sample container.10.3 OxidationBefore starting the test, bring the heatingbath to the
46、test temperature at 160C and insert the pressurevessel(s) in accordance with apparatus type (seeA1.3 orA2.8).10.3.1 Allow the bath temperature to level out at the testtemperature, which must occur within 15 min after insertion ofthe pressure vessel. Maintaining the test temperature within thespecifi
47、ed limits of 160 6 0.3C during the entire test run is themost important single factor ensuring both repeatability andreproducibility of test results. If the test temperature cannot bemaintained as specified, the test results shall not be consideredvalid.NOTE 9The time for the bath to reach the opera
48、ting temperature afterinsertion of the pressure vessel may differ for different apparatus assem-blies and shall be observed for each unit (a unit may carry one, two, three,or four pressure vessels). The objective is to find a set of conditions, whichdoes not permit a drop of more than 2C after inser
49、tion of the pressurevessel(s) and allows the pressure vessel pressure to reach plateau within15 min.10.4 Keep the pressure vessel completely submerged andmaintain continuous and uniform rotation throughout the test.A standard rotational speed of 100 6 5 r/min is required; anyvariation in this speed could cause erratic results.10.5 Monitor the pressure of the pressure vessel preferablyusing a strip chart or some other form of electronic datacollection program. If a dial pressure gauge is used, makereadings at least every 5 min. (The maximum pres
