2、vision.Anumber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval. This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense. 1. Scope Scope* 1.1 This test method covers measurement,

3、 in poises, of the apparent viscosity of lubricating greases in the temperature range from 54 to 38C (65 to 100F). Measurements are limited to the range from 25 to 100000 Pat 0.1 s 1 and 1 to 100 Pat 15000 s 1 . NOTE 1At very low temperatures the shear rate range may be reduced because of the great

4、force required to force grease through the smaller capillaries. Precision has not been established below 10 s 1 . 1.2 This standard uses inch-pound units as well as SI (acceptable metric) units.

16、a capillary by means of a oating piston actuated by the hydraulic system.

Apparatus 6.1 The assembled pressure viscometer consists of four major divisions, the power system, the hydraulic system, the grease system(describedintheannexandshowninFig.1),andabathofoptionaldesign.Fig.2isaphotographoftherstthreedivisions as commonly used at room temperature. This form of

19、 the apparatus can be used with a cylindrical insulated tank 178 mm (7 in.) in diameter and 508 mm (20 in.) deep.The bath medium may be kerosene or alcohol cooled manually with dry ice.Alternatively the grease system, the grease and hydraulic system, or all three major divisions can be built into an

20、y liquid or air bath that will cover the temperature range and maintain the grease at test temperature 60.25 C (60.5F). 7. Sampling 7.1 A single lling of the grease cylinder requires about 0.223 kg ( 1 2 lb) of grease which is the minimum size sample. NOTE 2It is possible for an experienced operator

21、 to complete the 16 single determinations with a single lling. However, some samples reach the equilibrium pressure slowly, making it advisable to have a sample of several pounds available. 7.2 Generally no special preparation of the sample is necessary. NOTE 3The apparatus works the samples to some

22、 extent as they pass through the capillary. Somewhat better precision is obtained if they are previously worked as described in Test Methods D217. Working of some greases may cause aeration. NOTE 4It is desirable to lter some greases through a 60-mesh screen to prevent plugging the No. 8 capillary.

23、Follow prudent laboratory practice to keep equipment cleaned and ushed before use. 8. Calibration and Standardization 8.1 To calibrate the hydraulic system, remove the grease cylinder and replace it with a needle valve. Select a hydraulic oil of about 2000 cSt (2000 mm 2 /s) viscosity at the test te

Fill the system with hydraulic oil and circulate the oil until it is free of air bubbles.At atmospheric pressure, quickly place a 60-mL Saybolt receiving ask (Test Method D88), under the outlet and start a timer.

34、relieve the pressure. Replace the No. 1 capillary with subsequent ones and repeat these operations until tests have been run with all capillaries at both ow rates. With some soft or hard greases, it cannot be practical to use all of the capillaries. NOTE 6It may be necessary to rell the cylinder wit

Calculation 10.1 Calculate apparent viscosity of the grease as follows: happarentviscosity!5F/S (1) where F is the shear stress

36、, and S is the shear rate. Therefore: h5F/S5 ppR 2 /2pRL 4v/t!/pR 3 5ppR 4 /8Lv/t!5P68944pR 4 /8Lv/t! (2) where: p = pressure dynes/cm 2 , L = capillary length, cm, P = observed gage pressure, psi (multiply by 68944 to convert to dynes per square centimetre), R = radius of capillary used, cm, and v/

37、t = ow rate, cm 3 /s. 10.2 Calculations may be reduced to a minimum by preparing a table of 16 constants, one for each capillary and shear rate (Table 1). For example, viscosity with No. 1 capillary and the 40-tooth gear is given as follows: h5Pobserved!68944pR 4 /8Lv/t! orPK 1240! where: TABLE 1 Su

For solving various problems involving the steady ow of greases, shear stress-shear rate relationships may be plotted on appropriate charts. Instructions on the use of these charts are given in the article by Rein and McGahey. 3 11.

45、Precision and Bias 11.1 Due to the nature of the results, the precision of this test method was not obtained according to RR:D02-1007, Manual on Determining Precision Data forASTM Methods on Petroleum Products and Lubricants. The precision of this test method as determined by statistical examination

46、 of interlaboratory results is as follows: 11.2 The data in 11.2.1 and 11.2.2 should be used for judging the acceptability of results (95% condence) according to the concept of precision as given in Practice D3244. 11.2.1 RepeatabilityThe difference between two test results, obtained by the same ope

47、rator with the same apparatus under constant operating conditions on identical test material, would in the long run, in the normal and correct operation of the test method, exceed the values given in Table 2 only in one case in twenty. 11.2.2 ReproducibilityThe difference between two single and inde

48、pendent results obtained by different operators working in different laboratories on identical test material would, in the long run, in the normal and correct operation of the test method, exceed the values given in Table 2 only in one case in twenty. 11.2.3 Reproducibility of the curve drawing oper

49、ation varies from 5 to 8 % for the above samples. These data are based upon curve values of apparent viscosity at the six shear rates. A separate curve was drawn for each run. 11.3 BiasSince there is no accepted reference material suitable for determining the bias for the procedure in Test Method D1092, bias has not yet been determined. 11.4 There is no research report on Test Method D1092 because this test method was developed before research report guidelines were instituted, and are n
