Scope1.1 This practice covers the compatibility of mixtures ofturbine lubricating oils of the same ISO VG grade and type asdefined by
3、 Specification D4304. The Tier 1 method comparesthe visual appearances of specific mixtures with those of theneat oils after storage at specified conditions.1.2 If the current in-service oil is causing problems or ifcircumstances indicate the need for additional testing, a Tier 2method compares sele
4、cted performance properties of the mix-ture and its constituent oils.1.3 The Tier 1 and Tier 2 methods can be used to evaluatenew (unused) lubricant compatibility or the effects of addingnew (unused) lubricant to in-service lubricant in the system.1.4 This practice does not evaluate the wear prevent
5、ioncharacteristics, load carrying capacity, or the mechanical shearstability of lubricants mixtures while in service. If anti-wear(AW), extreme pressure (EP), or shear stability are to beevaluated, further testing of these parameters may be required.1.4.1 Tier 1Mixtures of the two constituent oils t

Unlike other te
10、sts described in this practice, theimpact on oxidation stability may not be easily interpreted with a pass/failrating. The user is encouraged to contact the lubricant supplier forassistance in the evaluation of the data.1.6 Sequential or concurrent testing is continued until thetest requestor or use
11、r is satisfied that the intent of this practicehas been met. If any mixture fails the Tier 1 visual appearancemethod or any of the Tier 2 primary tests, when requested, theoils are incompatible. If all mixtures pass the Tier 1 or Tier 2tests, the oils are considered compatible by those methods.1.7 T
12、his practice applies only to lubricating oils havingcharacteristics suitable for evaluation by the suggested testmethods. If the scope of a specific test method limits testing tothose oils within a specified range of properties, oils outsidethat range cannot be tested for compatibility by that testm
13、ethod.1.8 This practice may be used to evaluate the compatibilityof different types and grades of oil. However, it is not intendedto evaluate such mixtures. The user is advised to consult withsuppliers in these situations.1.9 This practice does not purport to cover all test methodsthat could be empl

If theproperties are inferior to those of one neat oil but not inferiorto those of the other, then such is not necessarily considered anindication of incompatibility. To be considered significantlyinferior, the property of the mixture would be worse than

This mixture and the two neat,2For referenced ASTM standards, visit the ASTM website, www.astm.org, orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org. For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume informa
34、tion, refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.D7155 112constituent oils are tested using the primary compatibility tests.Depending on the performance of the mixture, relative to thoseof the constituent oils, 10:90 and 90:10 mixtures may need tobe tested in addition.4.2 Option
35、 2Instead of testing mixtures in sequentialorder, 10:90 and 90:10 mixtures are tested at the same time the50:50 mixture is evaluated. If all mixtures pass the primarycompatibility tests, or if the application requires the evaluationof specific properties, secondary compatibility tests can beemployed
36、 for further evaluation. Such tests can be run concur-rently, if desired.5. Significance and Use5.1 The compatibility of oils can be important for users ofoil-lubricated equipment. It is well known that the mixing oftwo oils can produce a substance markedly inferior to either ofits constituent mater
37、ials. One or more of the following canoccur:5.1.1 A mixture of incompatible oils most often forms aprecipitate.5.1.2 The precipitate will form unwanted deposits in thelubrication system, plug filters and oil passageways.5.1.3 Such events can lead to catastrophic equipment fail-ures.5.2 Because of su
38、ch occurrences, lubricant suppliers recom-mend evaluating compatibility of lubricating oil of differentformulations and sources prior to mixing. Equipment usersmost often do not have the resources to evaluate oil compat-ibility and must rely on their suppliers. Mixing of oils is ahighly imprudent pr
39、actice without first determining the com-patibility.5.3 Although new turbine oils may be compatible, in-service oil of the same type may be degraded or contaminatedto such an extent that the new oil added may not be compatiblewith the system oil. In-service oil compatibility with new oiladditions sh
40、ould be evaluated on a case by case basis.5.4 The oxidation resistance of different oils of the sametype can vary widely, and compatibility does not implyequivalent performance.6. Apparatus6.1 The equipment and materials required for this practiceshall be those required by the test methods used to e
41、valuatecompatibility.6.1.1 Laboratory Oven, static-air or stirred-air type, capableof maintaining the test temperature within 63C and equippedwith one or more grill-type wire shelves.6.1.2 Laboratory Cooler, capable of maintaining the testtemperature within 63C.6.1.3 Reflector Flood Lamp, 150 watt.7
42、. Procedure7.1 Testing is conducted using either of two options (seeSection 5.4) for mixture proportions as agreed upon with thetest requestor or user and dependent on the available samplevolumes supplied. Either the sequential testing protocol de-scribed in Option 1 or the concurrent testing protoc
43、ol describedin Option 2 can be used. Using Option 1, a 50:50 mixture andthe two constituent oils are tested. If this mixture is foundcompatible, 10:90 and 90:10 mixtures which reflect drain-andfill conversion or make up proportions may be tested. UsingOption 2, all mixtures (10:90, 50:50, and 90:10)
44、 and the twoconstituent oils are tested concurrently. At the discretion of theinterested parties, the testing may be continued even after anincompatible test result is observed.7.2 Preparation of Mixtures (Tier 1 and Tier 2)Preparemixtures similarly, regardless of whether one or three mixturesof dif
45、fering ratios will be tested sequentially or concurrently.7.2.1 Prepare a fresh 50:50 mixture of the two oils to beevaluated for compatibility. (neat, constituent oils are desig-nated A and B.) Determine the amounts to be mixed from theamount of oil required by the tests. Prepare at least 10 % morem
46、ixture than is actually needed for the tests. Do not preparemore than can be used immediately. No more than 30 daysshould elapse between mixture preparation and the start of anytest.7.2.2 Add equal amounts 61% of all oils,Aand B neat oils,and the 50:50 mixture into separate clean, dry, glass beakers
47、,and mix thoroughly7.2.3 Heat the beaker and mixtures in the oven at 65 6 3C(149 6 5.4F) for a minimum of 168 h (6 1h)forTier1orTier 2 testing. Samples may be removed after a minimum of 24h(6 0.5 h) to conduct the Tier 2 primary tests, if requestedNOTE 2Longer oven storage times may be employed with
48、 agreementbetween the parties involved.7.2.4 Remove the beakers from the oven, and allow them tocool to room temperature before evaluating appearance.7.2.5 Observe the oil per 7.2.4 upon reaching room tem-perature within1h(60.5 h) in accordance with Appendix X1.If the oils display an incompatible re
49、sult, further testing is notrequired. Conclude the test, and report in accordance withSection 8. If the results are satisfactory, proceed to 7.2.6.7.2.6 Cool the beaker containing the oil mixtures to at least0C (or agreed upon temperature) for 24 h (60.5 h). Longertimes may be employed with agreement between the partiesinvolved. Remove from the cooler and bring to room tempera-ture.7.2.7 Observe the oil in accordance with Appendix X1.Ifthe oils display an incompatible result, conclude the test, andreport in accordance with Section 8. If the results are sati
