Summary of Test Method4.1 Sequence IA portion of sample, maintained at a bathtemperature of 24 6 0.5C is blown with air at a constant rate(94 6 5 mL/min ) for 5 min, then allowed to settle for 10 min(unless the case described in 3.2.2.1 applies, in which case, th

21、etime duration can be shortened). The volume of foam ismeasured at the end of both periods.4.2 Sequence IIAsecond portion of sample, maintained ata bath temperature of 93.5 60.5C, is analyzed using the sameair flow rate and blowing and settling time duration asindicated in 4.1.4.3 Sequence IIIThe sa

22、mple portion used in conductingSequence II is used for Sequence III, where any remainingfoam is collapsed and the sample portion temperature cooledbelow 43.5C by allowing the test cylinder to stand in air atroom temperature, before placing the cylinder in the bathmaintained at 24 6 0.5C. The same ai

23、r flow rate and blowingand settling time duration as indicated in 4.1 is followed.5. Significance and Use5.1 The tendency of oils to foam can be a serious problemin systems such as high-speed gearing, high-volume pumping,and splash lubrication. Inadequate lubrication, cavitation, andoverflow loss of

24、 lubricant can lead to mechanical failure. Thistest method is used in the evaluation of oils for such operatingconditions.6. Apparatus6.1 Foaming Test Apparatus, an example of a suitableset-up is shown in Fig. 1, consisting of a 1000-mL graduatedcylinder or cylinders (meeting Specification E1272 cla

25、ss Btolerance requirement of 66 mL and at least graduations of 10mL) held in position when placed in the baths, such as fittedwith a heavy ring or clamp assembly to overcome thebuoyancy, and an air-inlet tube, to the bottom of which isfastened a gas diffuser. The gas diffuser can be either a25.4-mm

26、(1-in.) diameter spherical gas diffuser stone made offused crystalline alumina grain, or a cylindrical metal diffusermade of sintered five micron porous stainless steel (Note 1).The cylinder shall have a diameter such that the distance fromthe inside bottom to the 1000-mL graduation mark is 360 6 25

27、mm. It shall be circular at the top (Note 2) and shall be fittedwith a stopper, such as those made of rubber, having one holeat the center for the air-inlet tube and a second hole off-centerfor an air-outlet tube. The air-inlet tube shall be adjusted sothat, when the stopper is fitted tightly into t

28、he cylinder, the gasdiffuser (Note 3) just touches the bottom of the cylinder and isapproximately at the center of the circular cross section. Gasdiffusers shall meet the following specification when tested inaccordance with the method given in Annex A1:FIG. 1 Foaming Test ApparatusD892 132Maximum p

29、ore diameter, m Not greater than 80Permeability at pressure of 2.45 kPa (250 mm) water,mL of air/min3000 to 6000NOTE 1Gas diffuser permeability and porosity can change during use;therefore, it is recommended that diffusers be tested when new andperiodically thereafter preferably after each use.NOTE

30、2Graduated cylinders with circular tops can be prepared fromcylinders with pouring spouts by cutting them off below the spouts. Thecut surface is to be smoothed before use by fire polishing or grinding.NOTE 3Gas diffusers may be attached to air-inlet tubes by any suitablemeans. A convenient arrangem

31、ent is shown in Fig. 2.NOTE 4It may be necessary to confirm the volume of the cylinder.6.2 Test Baths, large enough to permit the immersion of thecylinder at least to the 900-mL mark and capable of beingmaintained at temperatures constant to 0.5C (1F) at 24C(75F) and 93.5C (200F), respectively. Both

32、 bath (Note 6)and bath liquid shall be clear enough to permit observation ofthe graduations on the cylinder.NOTE 5Air baths may also be utilized for heating purposes. Limiteddata has shown that both liquid and air baths give equivalent results.However, the precision estimates given in Section 13 are

33、 based on usingonly liquid baths.3NOTE 6Heat-resistant cylindrical glass jars approximately 300 mm(12 in.) in diameter and 450 mm (18 in.) in height make satisfactory baths.6.3 Air Supply, from a source capable of maintaining an airflow rate of 94 6 5 mL/min through the gas diffuser. If the dewpoint

34、 of the air supply does not meet the -60C or lowerrequirements as stated in 7.3, the air shall be passed through adrying tower 300 mm in height packed as follows: just abovethe constriction place a 20-mm layer of cotton, then a 180-mmlayer of indicating desiccant, and a 20-mm layer of cotton. Thecot

35、ton serves to hold the desiccant in place. Refill the towerwhen the indicating desiccant begins to show presence ofmoisture. The use of the drying tower described above isoptional if the dew point of the air supply meets the -60C orlower requirements as stated in 7.3. A flowmeter sensitive tothe req

36、uired tolerances can be used to measure the air flow(Note 7).NOTE 7A manometer type flowmeter, in which the capillary betweenthe two arms of the U-tube is approximately 0.4 mm in diameter and 16mm in length, and in which n-butylphthalate is the manometric liquid, issuitable.6.3.1 The total volume of

37、 air leaving the foaming testapparatus shall be measured by a volume measuring device(Note 9) capable of accurately measuring gas volumes of about470 mL. The air shall be passed through at least one loop ofcopper tubing placed around the inside circumference of thecold bath so that the volume measur

38、ement is made at approxi-mately 24C (75F). Precautions are to be taken to avoid leaksat any point in the system.NOTE 8Alternatively,a1Lcylinder (with 10 mL graduation marks)full of water is inverted in a tall, large beaker also filled with water. Thereshould be no air bubbles inside. Air leaving the

39、 copper loop in the bath isconnected below the cylinder. When the test is started, air will flow intothe cylinder, displacing the water. At the end of the test, the volume of airin the cylinder is measured by equalizing the water levels inside andoutside the cylinder.Alternatively, the total volume

40、of air passed would bethe difference between the final and the initial volumes of water in thecylinder.NOTE 9Awet test meter calibrated in hundredths of a litre is suitable.6.4 Timer, graduated and accurate to1sorbetter.6.5 Temperature Sensing Device, capable of covering thetemperature range from at

41、 least 20 to 100C, with an accuracyof 60.5C.Athermometer having a range as shown below andconforming to the requirements as prescribed in SpecificationE1 or specifications for IP thermometers has been foundsuitable to use:TemperatureRangeThermometerASTM No. IP20 to 102C 12C 64C3Supporting data have

43、Unless indicated otherwise, it is intended thatall reagents conform to the specifications of the committee onAnalytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society wheresuch specifications are available.4Other grades may be used,provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficientlyhigh

44、purity to permit its use without lessening the accuracy ofthe determination.7.2 Acetone(WarningExtremely flammable, vaporscan cause a flash fire).7.3 Compressed Air, hydrocarbon free and dry to a dewpoint of 60C or lower, otherwise the drying tower describedin 6.3 shall be used.7.4 Cleaning Reagents

45、such as heptane (WarningFlammable, vapor harmful) and toluene (methylbenzene) foruse in cleaning the cylinder, gas diffuser, and air-inlet tube.Other reagents with equivalent cleaning and solvency charac-teristics may be substituted as appropriate, provided the re-quirements in 9.1 are satisfied.7.5

46、 Propan-2-olfor use in determining the maximum porediameter if a metallic diffuser is used (see A1.2.1). (Solventswith equivalent cleaning and solvency characteristics may besubstituted for propan-2-ol.)8. Hazards8.1 (WarningUsers of this test method shall be trainedand familiar with all normal labo

47、ratory practices, or under theimmediate supervision of such a person. It is the responsibilityof the operator to ensure that all local legislative and statutoryrequirements are met.)8.2 (WarningCleaning solvents have flash points lowerthan ambient temperatures. Avoid the possibility of fire orexplos

48、ion.)8.3 (WarningThe fumes from the test oil and the bathshall be vented in a manner compatible with local governmentregulations.)8.4 (WarningSome apparatus assemblies can have asmuch as 20 L of heat transfer oil at 93.5C. Therefore, in theevent of breakage of the containing vessel, provisions forsu

49、itable containment of the spill is advisable.)9. Preparation of Apparatus9.1 Thorough cleansing of the test cylinder (9.1.1) and gasdiffuser and air-inlet tube (9.1.2) is essential after each use toremove any additive remaining from previous tests which canseriously interfere with results of subsequent tests. The crite-rion that the test cylinder is adequately cleaned is that theinterior walls drain water cleanly, without drops forming. Asfor the gas diffuser and air-inlet tube, the criterion for adequatecleaning is
