Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis test method can be used by any proper
3、ly equipped laboratory without outside assistance.However, the ASTM Test Monitoring Center (TMC)3provides reference oils and assessment of thetest results obtained on those oils by the laboratory (seeAnnexA1). By this means, the laboratory willknow whether their use of this test method gives results
4、 statistically similar to those obtained by otherlaboratories. Furthermore, various agencies require that a laboratory utilize the TMC services inseeking qualification of oils against specifications. For example, the American Petroleum Institute(API) imposes such a requirement, in connection with se
5、veral U.S. Army engine lubricating oilspecifications. Accordingly, this test method is written for use by laboratories that utilize the TMCservices. Laboratories that choose not to use those services may simply ignore those portions of thistest method that refer to the TMC. This test method may be m
