Scope*1.1 This tes
3、t 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 stock could beformulated for use
4、as automotive engine oil3(see Test MethodD4742). 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 test methodhas since been found
5、 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 from 40 to 280 min.1.3 The va

The pressurevessel is sealed, charged with oxygen to a pressure of 620 kPa(90 psig), and placed in an oil bath at 160C at an angle of 30from the horizontal. The pressure vessel is ro

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 engineoils and service.25.2 This test method is useful for screening formulated oilsbefore
22、 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 base oil type are compared,results may or may not reflect results in engine tests. Only
23、gasoline engine oils were used in generating the precisionstatements in this test method.6.

This component maybe prepared in accordance with the procedures described inAnnex A3.8.1.2 Soluble Met
33、al Catalyst MixtureThis catalyst is amixture of soluble metal catalysts (lead, iron, manganese, andtin). 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 catalyst supplies may be inconsi
34、stentand have significant effects on the test results. Thus, for testcomparisons, the same source and same batch of metalnaphthenates shall be used.NOTE 2It is good research practice to use the same batches of catalystcomponents when closely comparing engine oils.NOTE 3Slow, steady reactivity of som
35、e of the catalyst chemicals canbe a problem. Such problems can be reduced by storing the closed catalystvials in a refrigerator at approximately 5C. The catalyst chemicals remaineffective up to six months after the septum is punctured, if they are storedas noted above.8.1.3 Nitro-paraffnThis compoun

Thoroughcleaning can be accomplished by (a) rinsing with cyclo-hexaneor other suitable hydrocarbon solvent, (b) soaking in concen-trated solution of a water-soluble varnish remover, (c) thor-oughly rinsing with water, (d) rin

Rinse theinside of the stem with isopropyl alcohol and blow dry with oilfree compressed air. For users of apparatus described in AnnexA1,
40、periodically insert a dry pipe cleaner into the transducerline opening for removal of potential residue buildup.NOTE 6Replace O-rings when reassembling the pressure transducers.9.4 Periodically pressure test the pressure vessels at 690 kPa(100 psi) with air or oxygen. If the pressure drops more than
41、0.690 kPa (0.1 psi) on the pressure gauge within 60 s, replacethe O-ring seals and inspect the valve seals according tomanufacturers directions. If the problem continues, contact thespecific equipment manufacturer.NOTE 7Previous versions of this test method have called for hydro-static testing of th
42、e pressure vessel. This was found 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

Procedure10.1 Weighing and 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 glas
44、s sample container and tare.10.1.4 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 containe
45、r intothe pressure vessel, thoroughly 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 th
46、e pressure vessel in accor-dance 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 te
47、st, bring the heatingbath to the 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 t
48、est temperature within thespecified 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 tim
49、e for the bath to reach the operating 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 insertion 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
