17、anization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.13.1.1 sludge, na precipitate or sediment from oxidizedmineral oil that is insoluble in n-heptane.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Atotal of six to eight tubes containing 360 mLof sampleeach are heated at 120 C with oxygen in the presence of aniron-c

18、opper catalyst. Each tube is removed over time and thesample is analyzed by Test Method D2272 and the insolublesare measured until the RPVOT residual ratio reaches below25 % or an agreed-upon percentage or specified time. Test runfor a specified time(s) may be run using a single tube or asmany as sp

19、ecified by the requestor. The mass of insolublematerial of each oil sample is determined gravimetrically byfiltration of a 100 g oil sample through a membrane filter withpore size 1 m. The insoluble mass (mg/kg oil) is plottedagainst RPVOT residual ratio. The insoluble mass in milli-grams per kilogr

20、am oil at 25 % or an agreed-upon RPVOTresidual ratio or specified time is reported.5. Significance and Use5.1 Insoluble material may form in oils that are subjected tooxidizing conditions.5.2 Significant formation of oil insolubles or metal corro-sion products, or both, during this test may indicate

21、 that the oilwill form insolubles or corrode metals, or both, resulting invarnish formation during field service. The level of varnishformation in service will be dependent on many factors(turbine design, reservoir temperature, duty-cycle, for example.peaking, cycling, or base-load duty, maintenance

22、, and so forth)and a direct correlation between results in this test and fieldvarnish formation are yet to be established.5.3 Oxidation condition at 120 C under accelerated oxida-tion environment of Test Method D4310 and measurement ofsludge and RPVOT value could reflect a practical oil quality inac

23、tual turbine operations. Results from this test should be usedtogether with other key lubricant performance indicators (in-cluding other established oxidation and corrosion tests) toindicate suitability for service.6.
