Summary of Test Method4.1 An oleaginous fluid sample is preheated, allowed tostabilize at room temperature, and then poured to a predeter-mined depth into a glass cell, and an insulated or uninsulatedspindle is inserted through a special stopper and suspended bya clip.An altern

30、ative sample preparation is to fill a glass cell orstator to the predetermined depth with the oleaginous fluid, aninsulated or uninsulated spindle is inserted through a specialstopper and suspended by a clip; then this entire sampleassembly is preheated and allowed to come to room tempera-ture. A re

31、ference fluid with a known viscosity value is alsoprepared. The contained sample is cooled to a predeterminedtemperature for 16 h and analyzed by a rotational viscometerand, depending on the viscometer model used, the viscosity ofthe test fluid is read directly from the viscometer or theresultant to

32、rque reading is used to calculate the viscosity of theoil at the temperature chosen. The reference fluid is used toverify the test temperature for accuracy purposes.5. Significance and Use5.1 The low-temperature, low-shear-rate viscosity of auto-matic transmission fluids, gear oils, torque and tract

33、or fluids,and industrial and automotive hydraulic oils (see AppendixX4) are of considerable importance to the proper operation ofmany mechanical devices. Measurement of the viscometricproperties of these oils and fluids at low temperatures is oftenused to specify their acceptance for service. This t

34、est method isused in a number of specifications.5.2 Initially this test method was developed to determinewhether an automatic transmission fluid (ATF) would meetOEM low temperature performance criterion originally definedusing a particular model viscometer.6The viscosity rangecovered in the original

35、 ATF performance correlation studieswas from less than 1000 mPas to more than 60 000 mPas. Thesuccess of theATF correlation and the development of this test5Available from American National Standards Institute (ANSI), 25 W. 43rd St.,4th Floor, New York, NY 10036, http:/www.ansi.org.6Selby, T.

37、3 This test method describes how to measure apparentviscosity directly without the errors associated with earliertechniques using extrapolation of experimental viscometricdata obtained at higher temperatures.NOTE 1Low temperature viscosity values obtained by either interpo-lation or extrapolation of

38、 oils may be subject to errors caused by gelationand other forms of non-Newtonian response to spindle speed and torque.6. Apparatus6.1 Rotational Viscometer7A rotational viscometer with amaximum torque between 0.0670 mNm and 0.0680 mNmand capable of sensing a change in torque of less than0.00067 mNm

39、. It shall acquire torque data at a rate of at least60 times per revolution and have a selection of spindle speedsconsisting of at least 0.6 rmin, 1.5 rmin, 3.0 rmin, 6.0 rmin,12.0 rmin, 30.0 rmin, and 60.0 rmin. Additional spindlespeeds of 0.3 rmin and 120 rmin are desirable. The viscom-eter is to

40、be calibrated at least yearly.6.2 Viscometer SpindleSpindles conforming to the follow-ing dimensions (Fig. 1): A 115 mm, B 3.15 mm, C =3.15 mm 6 0.03 mm, D = 31.1 mm 6 0.1 mm and made fromstainless steel or a composite material that has a lower thermalconductivity. The narrow middle segment shall be

41、 9.5 mm inlength and 1.8 mm in diameter. In the center of the middlesegment will be a narrow band that is centered in this segmentand 35.6 mm 6 0.5 mm from the bottom of the spindle. Theinsulated spindle shown in Fig. 1 shall have a gap of 4 mm inthe upper segment, which is covered by a material wit

42、h poorthermal conduction and pinned to both the upper and lowerportions of the upper segment. The gap is to be placed atapproximately the mid-point of upper segment. A Brookfield(trademarked) #4B2 conforms to these requirements. TheTannas No. 4 composite spindles8must be used in ProcedureC. Uninsula

43、ted steel spindles (No. 4) shall only be used withthe Air Bath Method (Procedure A).6.2.1 When using an insulated steel spindle, such as Brook-field No. 4B2 spindle, ensure that both steel ends are firmlyconnected to the insulating section.When a slight twist is givento the two metal sections on eit

44、her side of the insulatingcylinder, they should not move relative to each other.6.2.2 Periodically (depending on use, but at least every3 months) inspect spindles for run-out (wobble) when attachedto the viscometer. The total run-out of the spindle shall notexceed 1 mm (0 mm 6 0.5 mm).NOTE 2It is go

45、od laboratory practice to store spindles in a protectivemanner. Do not leave composite spindles for extended periods in cleaningsolvent.6.3 Test StatorA glass tube of sufficient diameter to haveessentially no influence on the rotation of the spindle comparedto the viscous drag of the test fluid even

46、 at viscosities above100 000 mPas.6.3.1 Test Tube Stator(See Fig. 2.) A commercially stan-dard test tube of approximately 25 mm ID and 115 mm inlength, with a fill line indicating approximately 30 mL.NOTE 3Over time, the fill line may become difficult to see. For liquidbaths, this is especially impo

47、rtant, as it ensures that the stator is filled toa point where the spindle can be properly positioned and have the samplelevel below the fluid level of the bath.7The sole source of supply known to the committee at this time is BrookfieldAMETEK, 11 Commerce Blvd., Middleboro, MA 02346, http:/.
