Significance and Use4.1 This test method measures the net change in pressure resulting from consumption of oxygen by oxidation and gain inpressure due to formation of volatile o

17、xidation by-products. This test method may be used for quality control to indicatebatch-to-batch uniformity. It predicts neither the stability of greases under dynamic service conditions, nor the stability of greasesstored in containers for long periods, nor the stability of films of greases on bear

Apparatus5.1 Oxidation Pressure Vessel, Sample Dish, Dish Holder, Pressure Gage and Oil Bath as described in detail in the Annex.NOTE 3Other constant-temperature baths may be used if

19、 they are equivalent in heat capacity and thermal gradient characteristics to the oil bathdescribed in the Annex and can be shown to maintain the pressure vessel at the prescribed test temperature.5.2 Thermometer, having a range as shown below and conforming to the requirements as prescribed in Spec

(2) Use oxygenonly with equipment conditioned for oxygen service by careful cleaning to remove oil and grease from area in contact

22、 with highpressure oxygen. (3) Keep combustibles away from oxygen and eliminate ignition sources. (4) Keep surfaces clean to preventignition or explosion, or both, upon contact with high pressure oxygen. (5) Always use a pressure regulator to deliver oxygen.Release regulator tension before opening o

(7) Never attempt to transfer oxygen from cylinder in which it is received to any other cylinder prior to use. (8) Do notdrop oxygen cylinders. (9) Keep cylinder valve closed when not in use. (10) Stand away f

(12) See Compressed Gas Association Booklets G-4 andG-4-15 for details of safe practice in the use of oxygen.)6.3 n-Heptane(WarningFlammable. Harmful if inhaled. Keep away from heat, sparks, an

Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.)6.4 Cleaning Solution, capable of satisfactorily cleaning the glassware used in the test. The criterion for satisfactory cleaningshall be a matching

(WarningCauses severe burns.Areco

27、gnized carcinogen. Strong oxidizer; contact with organicmaterial may cause fire. Hygroscopic.) (WarningDo not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing.Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Keepcontainer closed. Use with adequate ventilation. Do not take internally.) For this comparison, visual appearance and m

28、ass loss onheating the glassware under test conditions may be used. Detergent cleaning avoids the potential hazards and inconveniencesrelated to handling corrosive chromic acid solutions; this procedure remains the reference cleaning practice and as such mayfunction as an alternate to the preferred

29、procedure, cleaning with detergent solutions.7. Preparation of Apparatus7.1 Clean the sample dishes from all contamination from previous runs and from dust settling from the air by washing themwith n-heptane and then with a cleaning solution. Follow the final cleaning operation by a thorough tap wat

30、er rinse, a distilled waterrinse, and drying in an oven. Handle the clean dishes only with forceps. (WarningHandle in well-ventilated area, preferably ina hood. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Keep container closed when not in use.) (WarningSee 6.3, and avoidskin contact, which may caus

31、e severe burns.)7.2 If lacquer is found after a run, clean the inside of the oxidation pressure vessel and the metal supports for the pressure vesseldishes by immersing in an appropriate solvent capable of removing the lacquer, such as gum solvent as specified in Test MethodD525, and scrubbing with

32、a bristle brush followed by drying. Scrub further with water and a fine scouring powder until all thelacquer deposits are removed. Follow the scouring operation by a thorough tap water rinse, a distilled water rinse, and drying inan oven. Handle the clean metal supports only with forceps.5 Available

Distribute the samples in the dishes in a uniform layerwith a smooth level upper surface. Place the fil

34、led dishes on the five bottom shelves of the holder, leaving the top shelf to act asa cover to prevent condensing volatile products from dropping into the grease samples. When assembling the pressure vessel, placea small ball of glass wool in the bottom of the stem.8.2 Place the dish holder in the p

35、ressure vessel with a sealing gasket in place, and close the pressure vessel by tightening thebolts slowly and uniformly. Clear the air from the pressure vessel by introducing oxygen slowly until a pressure of 100 psi (689kPa) 100 psi (689 kPa) is attained, then allow the oxygen to escape slowly; re

36、peat four times. Bring the oxygen pressure to a valueas shown in the following table:Room Temperature PressureC F psi kPa17 to 20 62 to 68 85 58620 to 23 68 to 74 86 59323 to 27 74 to 80 87 60027 to 30 80 to 86 88 60730 to 33 86 to 92 89 61433 to 37 92 to 98 90 62137 to 40 98 to 104 91 627Allow the

37、pressure vessel to stand overnight to make sure there are no leaks.NOTE 4It has been found that pressure readings as shown above will result in a pressure reading of 110 6 2 psi (758 6 14 kPa) 110 psi 6 2 psi(758 kPa 6 14 kPa) when the pressure vessel is placed in the bath in the following step, 8.3

38、, and consequently no release of oxygen will be required inmost cases.This minimizes the chance of a leak developing at the valve after the overnight check for leaks has shown the pressure vessel to be satisfactory.8.3 Place the pressure vessel in the oil bath maintained at a temperature of 9999 C 6

39、 0.5C (2100.5 C (210 F 61.0F).1.0 F). As the pressure rises, if needed, intermittently release oxygen from the pressure vessel until a constant pressure of110 6 2 psi (758 6 14 kPa) 110 psi 6 2 psi (758 kPa 6 14 kPa) is obtained and maintained for at least 2 h. A gradual drop inpressure indicates a

40、continuous leak in the pressure vessel. Observe and record the pressure at least every 24 h. In case a leakdevelops, do not report the results but repeat the test.8.4 Start timing at the moment of immersion of the pressure vessel in the oil bath, and continue the oxidation for the time periodspecifi
