15、ants shall meet all ofthe respective requirements of Specification D 7518.4.2 The coolant concentrate mixed with water or the predi-luted coolant, when maintained with maintenance does of SCAin accordance with the engine manufacturers recommenda-tions, and those on the product label, shall be suitab

Additional Requirements5.1 The coolant concentrate or prediluted coolant addition-ally shall provide protection in operating engines againstcavitation corrosion (also termed liner pitti
17、ng) and againstscaling of internal engine hot surfaces. Hot surfaces typicallyare within the engine head, head spacer, upper cylinder liner, orliquid cooled exhaust manifold. ASTM has test methods underdevelopment for both cavitation corrosion and hot surfacescaling. Until these procedures are appro

CHEMICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR FULLY FORMULATED HEAVY-DUTY ENGINE COOLANTA1.1 Laboratory data or in-service experience demonstrat-ing a positive influence on reducing cavitation corrosion in anoperating engine is required.A1.1.1 In-service qualification tests may consist of single-or multi
20、ple-cylinder engine tests.At the option of the engine orvehicle manufacturer, such testing may be conducted in “looseengines (that is, engines modified to induce liner cavitation)”or in engines fully integrated into an application, such as avehicle, a powerboat, or a stationary power source. One suc
21、htest has been developed.4A1.2 Several chemical compositions have been testedextensively by producers and users and satisfactorily minimizecylinder liner cavitation in actual test engines. Coolants meet-ing either of the following compositions are regarded aspassing the requirements of A1.1.A1.2.1 A
22、 minimum concentration of nitrite (as NO2)of1200 g/g in the 50 volume % predilute coolant, orA1.2.2 A minimum combined concentration of nitrite (asNO2) plus molybdate (as MoO42) in the 50 volume %predilute coolant of 780 g/g. At lest 300 g/g each of NO2and MoO42must be present.A1.2.3 The above conce
23、ntrations are doubled for coolanttemperature.A1.3 Chemical composition requirements for cavitationcorrosion protection will be removed from this specificationand replaced with anASTM test method when a test method isdeveloped and adopted.A1.4 Both concentrated and prediluted coolants under thisspeci
24、fication must contain additives to minimize hot surfacescaling deposits. Certain additives (polyacrylate and othertypes) minimize the deposition of calcium and magnesiumcompounds on heat rejecting surfaces. No specific chemicalrequirements for hot surface scaling and deposits resistancehave been est
25、ablished at this time. A test procedure is underdevelopment and will be incorporated into the specificationwhen a procedure is approved by ASTM.A1.5 Lack of compatibility between the coolant and SCAproducts chemistry results in chemical ingredient dropoutfrom solution, with potential adverse effects
26、 in the vehicle orengine cooling system.Atest procedure for compatibility (TestMethod D 5828) has been approved and will be incorporatedinto the specification when limits are determined.4“A Comparison of Engine Coolant in an Accelerated Heavy-Duty EngineCavitation Test,” SAE Technical Paper 960883,

Water havinga high mineral content or corrosive materials is unfit forcooling system use.X1.1.1.2 When preparing coolant mixtures, the watershould be of such quality th

Contact your local water department,the responsible government agency, or submit a water samplefor analysis if there is
30、a question on water quality.X1.1.2 Coolant Concentrates:X1.1.2.1 The coolant concentration should be maintainedbetween 40 and 60 % PDO by volume, depending on theengine operating environment. Freeze protection will be pro-vided in accordance with Table X1.2.X1.1.3 Prediluted Engine Coolants:X1.1.3.1
31、 Prediluted glycol base engine coolants (50 volume% minimum) should be used without further dilution. Ifadditional freeze protection is required, coolant concentratemay be added to the prediluted engine coolant to increase thetotal glycol content in the cooling system (see Table X1.2).X1.1.4 Supplem
32、ental Coolant Additive:X1.1.4.1 SCAs extend the life of the coolant by replenishingthe additives that deplete during normal operation. SCAs,however, do not extend the freeze protection provided by thecoolant concentrate.X1.1.4.2 Heavy-duty engine users experience has shownthat compositions below tho
33、se defined inA1.2 may not providelong-term protection against cavitation corrosion (liner pit-ting). User experience and published information shows thepresence of nitrite in an SCA or fully-formulated heavy-dutycoolant is particularly effective in providing maximum protec-tion.X1.1.4.3 New technolo
34、gy consisting of other chemistriesmay provide satisfactory protection. Such chemistries can beestablished by agreement between producers and users upondemonstration of performance. Such demonstrations can con-sist of comparative laboratory cavitation tests or comparativedamage rating from testing in
35、 operating engines. One or bothof these options may be applied as determined in a specificagreement between parties. An engine test has been devel-oped.4X1.2 Coolant Maintenance Recommendations:X1.2.1 If any of the following recommendations differ,follow the engine or vehicle manufacturers recommend
36、ations.X1.2.2 Use the coolant concentration recommended in thisspecification.X1.2.3 Drain and flush the cooling system as recommendedby the engine or vehicle manufacturer.X1.2.4 Use water that meets the requirement of Table X1.1.X1.2.5 Use accurate, reliable equipment, such as a refrac-tometer, to m
37、easure coolant concentrate levels for freezeprotection.X1.2.6 Use the SCA manufacturers recommended test kitwhen testing the coolant for proper additive concentration. Testkits shall indicate the degree of liner pitting protection presentin the coolant.X1.2.7 Check freezing point at two different le
38、vels whencoolant concentrate and water is premixed and stored in bulk ordrums to be sure mixing is complete before use.X1.2.8 Use coolant mixed at the desired proportions formake-up.X1.2.9 Use SCAs at the recommended maintenance dosageand intervals to control deposits, corrosion, water pumpdamage, a
39、nd liner pitting.X1.2.10 Periodically check bulk premixed coolant storagetanks for separation of chemicals and contamination.X1.2.11 DO NOT add undiluted coolant concentrate asmake-up coolant for coolant Types I-FF and II-FF.X1.2.12 DO NOT add plain water as make-up coolant.X1.2.13 DO NOT exceed 60
40、% coolant concentrate in TypeI-FF and Type II-FF coolants. The maximum recommendedcoolant concentrate level is 60 % which provides the freezeprotection shown in X1.1.2.X1.2.14 DO NOT exceed the manufacturers recommendeddosage of SCA or the recommended concentration of coolantconcentrate. Over-concen
41、tration can result in plugged radia-tors, heater cores, and charge air coolers and can also causewater pump seal leaks.X1.2.15 DO NOT reuse coolant that has been drained froma vehicle.TABLE X1.1 Suggested Water Quality LimitsAProperty Specific Values Test MethodTotal solids, g/g (ppm, grains/gal) 34
