This test method may be used as a requirement ofa performance specification, such as Specification D 5760 andJ2360.5.2 Another major cause of seal f
17、ailure is the formation ofcarbon, varnish, and sludge-like deposits on the seal lip. Thedeposit-forming characteristics of automotive gear oils areevaluated in Test Method D 5704. That procedure is intendedin part to evaluate the potential for oils to cause premature sealfailure in field service.6.

Reagents and Materials7.1 Specific reference test oils are maintained and distrib-uted by the TMC.5To receive the test oils and seal materials,individual laboratories shall commit to furnishing the TMCwith reference data developed using these reference mat
24、erials.7.2 The CPD is responsible for maintaining the numberingand tracking system for the seal elastomer batches used.Certain specific information concerning these reference mate-rials is available only to the CPD. This information is used toensure batch-to-batch consistency.7.2.1 Information and l
25、ocation of the current CPD is alsoavailable from the TMC.7.3 Specific reference seal elastomers used are a nitrile (NI),a polyacrylate (PA), and a fluoroelastomer (FL). Notation ofthe numbering system is established by the TMC as follows:Type Ywhere:Type = NI, PA, FL, andY = Batch number of the part
26、icular formulation.7.4 The shelf life for the seal elastomers is two years fromthe date the batch was cured. Invalidate any test with a sealcure date older than two years. Consult the TMC for anyapproved exceptions to this lifespan. Place a note in thecomments section of the test report where except
27、ions havebeen approved.7.4.1 Store elastomers in a refrigerator maintained at(3 to 6) C.7.5 The shelf life of reference oils is typically five yearsunless the TMC, through their analysis, specifies otherwise.7.6 Wetting solution of Aerosol OT0.1 % sodium diocytlsulfosuccinate, made by a 1.0 % diluti

Procedure8.1 The testing laboratory shall conduct reference oil testsconcurrently with the non-reference oil in the same oil bath.Reference oils shall perform within a specific range prescribedand evaluated by TMC for validity and updated as needed.8.2 Prio
29、r to cutting specimens and prior to performingelongation tests for initial properties, allow 3 h for theelastomer to warm to (23 6 2) C, as required by Test MethodD 412. Referring to the procedure in Test Method D 412, useDie C to cut a set of twelve dumbbell specimens out of theelastomer sheets as
30、required for each reference and non-reference oil tested.8.2.1 Cut the dumbbells parallel to the grain using the sameunaltered dies for the entire lot. When cutting dumbbells, onlycut one thickness at a time to avoid any dimensional variations.8.2.2 Cut all elastomer specimens, including those used
31、formeasuring initial properties, from the same elastomer batch.Use these dumbbells for measuring the percent elongationchanges.8.2.3 Next, cut twelve (25 by 50) mm by (2.0 6 0.1) mmrectangular specimens for the percent volume change andhardness testing.8.2.4 Finally, cut twelve more NI, PA, and FL d
32、umbbells forthe purpose of determining initial elongation properties.8.2.5 Randomly select sets of twelve dumbbells and twelverectangular specimens for testing from the different sheets oftest elastomers.8.2.6 Use the water displacement procedure in accordancewith Test Method D 471 to determine the
33、initial volumemeasurements. Weigh the coupon in air, M1, to the nearest1 mg. For the weight in water, immerse the coupon in a 1.0 %wetting solution of aerosol OT, then place the coupon indistilled water, M2, at ambient temperature. Make sure no airbubbles are clinging to the coupon surface before re
34、cording theweight to the nearest 1 mg.8.2.7 Ensure that initial elastomer properties of hardnessand volume are determined prior to the start of testing. InitialD5662092elongation properties are determined just prior to running theend of test dumbbells because of instrument calibration.8.3 Fill the t
