1、Designation: D 3427 06Designation 31301An American National StandardStandard Test Method forAir Release Properties of Petroleum Oils1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3427; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of

2、revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the ability of turbine, hydraulic,and gear oils to separate entrained a

3、ir.NOTE 1This test method was developed for mineral based oils. It maybe used for some synthetic fluids; however, the precision statement appliesonly to petroleum oils.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of

4、 the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 air release time, nthe number of minutes needed forair entrained in the oil to reduce in volume to 0.2 % under theconditions of this t

6、est and at the specified temperature.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Compressed air is blown through the test oil, which hasbeen heated to a temperature of 25, 50, or 75C. After the airflow is stopped, the time required for the air entrained in the oilto reduce in volume to 0.2 % is recorded as the air

7、 release time.NOTE 2By agreement between the customer and the laboratory, theoil may be heated at other temperatures. However, the precision at thesedifferent temperatures is not known at present.5. Significance and Use5.1 Agitation of lubricating oil with air in equipment, suchas bearings, coupling

8、s, gears, pumps, and oil return lines, mayproduce a dispersion of finely divided air bubbles in the oil. Ifthe residence time in the reservoir is too short to allow the airbubbles to rise to the oil surface, a mixture of air and oil willcirculate through the lubricating oil system. This may result i

9、nan inability to maintain oil pressure (particularly with centrifu-gal pumps), incomplete oil films in bearings and gears, andpoor hydraulic system performance or failure.5.2 This test method measures the time for the entrained aircontent to fall to the relatively low value of 0.2 % volumeunder a st

10、andardized set of test conditions and hence permitsthe comparison of the ability of oils to separate entrained airunder conditions where a separation time is available. Thesignificance of this test method has not been fully established.However, entrained air can cause sponginess and lack ofsensitivi

11、ty of the control of turbine and hydraulic systems. Thistest may not be suitable for ranking oils in applications whereresidence times are short and gas contents are high.6.

A coil of copper tubing immersed in thecirculating bath (see 6.1.5) is suitable at 25C, but additionalheating is necessary at 50 and 75C.This can be obtained by anadditional bath, or by using a separate steam or electric heatexchanger. The temperature of the air shall be measured by a

20、thermometer located as close as possible to the testing vesseland meeting the specifications shown in 6.1.3.NOTE 3The application of thermal insulation to the pipework carry-ing the heated compressed air is recommended.6.1.5 Circulating Bath, approximately 10-L capacity with arate of flow of 10 L/mi

22、 vessels with glass host fittingsfor circulating 75C (167F) bath medium is potentiallydangerous. Back pressure in excess of a gage pressure of 70kPa (10 psi) can be generated when the bath medium ispumped at the required rate; this can cause fracture of the glassor slippage of the hose connections.

Preparation of Apparatus8.1 Clean the interior of the test vessel, including the airinlet and sinker, and all other glassware coming i

34、n contact withthe sample, before each determination in the following manner:8.1.1 Rinse away the oil residue with n-heptane(Warningsee 7.6) and acetone (Warningsee 7.3) and dryby air blowing.8.1.2 Clean the apparatus by immersing in cleaning reagentin order to remove completely any traces of silicon

The test vessel should bein a hood, or the air outlet tube should be connected to a vent that removesthe vap

36、ors.9. Procedure9.1 Assemble the test apparatus as shown in Fig. 1. Set thecompressed air temperature to within 0.2C of the desired testtemperature. Set the circulating bath to give a specimentemperature within 0.1C of the desired test temperature. Therequired bath temperature setting and time for t

37、he specimen toequilibrate can be established for an equipment setup bymaking trial runs with a thermometer in the oil specimen. Foroils with a viscosity at 40C of less than 9.0 cSt, the testtemperature shall be 25C. For oils with a viscosity at 40Cbetween 9.0 and 90 cSt, the test temperature shall b

38、e 50C. Oilshaving a viscosity at 40C greater than 90 cSt shall be tested at75C.9.2 Warm approximately 200 mLof the oil to be tested in anoven set at a temperature of 10C higher than the testtemperature.9.3 Pour 180 6 5 mL of the heated sample into the testvessel.9.4 Allow the sample to equilibrate t

39、o the desired testtemperature, using the heating-up time previously established(see 9.1) or by directly measuring the temperature.9.5 Warm the sinker of the balance to the test temperature inan air bath, such as a glass cylinder fitted with a suitable coversituated in the circulating bath. When the

40、sinker has reachedthe test temperature, immerse it in the sample, taking care thatno air bubbles cling to it. Attach the sinker to the beam of thedensity balance by means of the platinum wire so that thebottom of the sinker is 10 6 2 mm from the bottom of the testvessel.NOTE 9The sinker can take app

41、roximately 20 min to reach 50C or 35min to reach 75C.9.6 Allow the density reading to stabilize, read the densityfrom the balance to the nearest 0.1 kg/m3, and record it as theinitial density.9.7 Return the sinker to the air bath and replace it with theair inlet tube as shown in Fig. 2. After 5 min,

42、 start the supplyof air at a gage pressure of 20 kPa at the required temperature.Maintain the pressure and temperature of the air (25, 50, and75C) by readjustments, if necessary.9.8 After 7 6 0.1 min, shut off the air and immediately startthe timer. Quickly remove the inlet tube from the test vessel

43、,and immerse the sinker in the oil/air dispersion.Attach the wireto the beam and maintain a distance of 10 6 2 mm between thebottom of the sinker and the bottom of the test vessel.NOTE 10In the case of certain oils, which form a considerable volumeof oil/air dispersion, the top of the sinker can ini

44、tially be in foam, andhence, density readings at this time can be in error.9.9 Record the time, to the nearest 0.1 min, for the densityto return to the target of 99.8 % of the initial density (d0). If thetime is greater than 30 min, discontinue the test.NOTE 11The test may be run for a longer period

45、 of time by agreementbetween the laboratory and the customer.NOTE 12For some applications, the shape of the air release time curvemay be required. This can be implemented by recording the density atintervals, as required.9.10 Certain oils may lose light components during the airsaturation, thus chan

46、ging their effective density. This will benoted if the time for the density to return to the initial figure isinstantaneous. Where air release value information is requiredfor such oils, an air releasing time curve may be drawn. If theloss causes any part of the sinker to be exposed, discontinue the

47、test and repeat, using a sample that is 10 mL larger thanpreviously used.10. Calculation of Density10.1 Density:Density of sample kg/m3!5 (1)Weight of sinker in air kg! Weight of sinker in sample kg!#Volume of sinker m3!NOTE 13A 10 mL sinker has a volume of 10 3 10-6m3.10.2 Target Density:Initial de
