1、Designation: D7216 10D7216 13Standard Test Method forDetermining Automotive Engine Oil Compatibility withTypical Seal Elastomers1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7216; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revis
2、ion, 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.INTRODUCTIONAny properly equipped laboratory, without outside assistance, can use the test method described inthi
3、s standard. However, the ASTM Test Monitoring Center (TMC)2 provides a reference oil (TMC1006-1) and an assessment of the test results obtained with this oil and the reference elastomers. Bythese means, the laboratory will know whether their use of the test method gives results statisticallysimilar
4、to those obtained by other laboratories.The TMC also use the reference oil results on different batches of elastomers from differentlaboratories to update continually the total and within-laboratory standard deviation estimates. Somespecifications, for example, Specification D4485, use the updated T
5、MC standard deviation estimates,pertaining at the time test oils are evaluated, to adjust specification limits for the effects of the industrytest variability.Various agencies require that a laboratory utilize the TMC services in seeking qualification of oilsagainst specifications. For example, the
6、U.S. Army imposes such a requirement in connection withseveral Army engine lubricating oil specifications.Accordingly, this test method is written for use by laboratories that utilize the TMC services.Laboratories that choose not to use those services may simply ignore those portions of the test met
7、hodthat refer to the TMC.This test method may be modified by means of information letters issued by the TMC. In addition,the TMC may issue supplementary memoranda related to this test method.1. Scope Scope*1.1 This test method covers quantitative procedures for the evaluation of the compatibility of
8、 automotive engine oils withseveral reference elastomers typical of those used in the sealing materials in contact with these oils. Compatibility is evaluated bydetermining the changes in volume, Durometer A hardness and tensile properties when the elastomer specimens are immersed inthe oil for a sp
9、ecified time and temperature.1.2 Effective sealing action requires that the physical properties of elastomers used for any seal have a high level of resistanceto the liquid or oil in which they are immersed. When such a high level of resistance exists, the elastomer is said to be compatiblewith the
10、liquid or oil.NOTE 1The user of this test method should be proficient in the use of Test Methods D412 (tensile properties), D471 (effect of rubber immersion inliquids), D2240 (Durometer hardness), and D5662 (gear oil compatibility with typical oil seal elastomers), all of which are involved in the e
11、xecution ofthe operations of this test method.1.3 This test method provides a preliminary or first order evaluation of oil/elastomer compatibility only. Because sealsmaymight be subjected to static or dynamic loads, or both, and they maycan operate over a range of conditions, a completeevaluation of
12、 the potential sealing performance of any elastomer-oil combination in any service condition usually requires testsadditional to those described in this test method.1 This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 on Petroleum Products and Lubricants and is the direct responsibilit

Summary of Test Method4.1 Measurements of initial volume, hardness (Durometer A) a
40、nd tensile properties are made on specimens of specifieddimensions cut from sheets of reference elastomers.D7216 1334.1.1 Table 1 shows the types of elastomers involved, typical of those used in heavy-duty diesel engines.4.2 The elastomer specimens are immersed in both non-reference oil(s) and a ref
41、erence oil and aged for 336 h at specifiedtemperatures.4.3 The effects of the test oils on the elastomers are determined by measuring the changes in volume, hardness and tensileproperties resulting from the immersion in the oil.5. Significance and Use5.1 Some engine oil formulations have been shown
42、to lack compatibility with certain elastomers used for seals in automotiveengines. These deleterious effects on the elastomer are greatest with new engine oils (that is, oils that have not been exposed toan engines operating environment) and when the exposure is at elevated temperatures.5.2 This tes
43、t method requires that non-reference oil(s) be tested in parallel with a reference oil, TMC 1006-1, known to beaggressive for some parameters under service conditions. This relative compatibility permits decisions on the anticipated orpredicted performance of the non-reference oil in service.5.3 Ela
44、stomer materials can show significant variation in physical properties, not only from batch-to-batch but also within asheet and from sheet-to-sheet. Results obtained with the reference oil are submitted by the test laboratories to the TMC to allowit to update continually the total and within-laborat
45、ory standard deviation estimates. These estimates, therefore, incorporate effectsof variations in the properties of the reference elastomers on the test variability.5.4 This test method is suitable for specification compliance testing, quality control, referee testing, and research anddevelopment.5.
46、5 The reference elastomers, reference oil and the physical properties involved in this test method address the specificrequirements of engine oils. Although other tests exist for compatibility of elastomers with liquids, these are considered toogeneralized for engine oils.6. Apparatus6.1 The testing
