Terminology3.1 Definiti

6、ons 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 test and at the specified temperature.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Compressed air is blown through the test oil, which has

7、been heated to a temperature of 25 C, 50 C, or 75 C. Afterthe air flow is stopped, the time required for the air entrainedin the oil to reduce in volume to 0.2 % is recorded as the airrelease time.NOTE 2By agreement between the customer and the laboratory, the oilmay be heated at other temperatures.

8、 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, couplings, gears, pumps, and oil return lines, mayproduce a dispersion of finely divided air bubbles in the oil. Ifthe reside

9、nce 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 inan inability to maintain oil pressure (particularly with centrifu-gal pumps), incomplete oil films in bearings and g

10、ears, 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 standardized set of test conditions and hence permitsthe comparison of the ability of oils to separate entrained airund

11、er 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 ofsensitivity of the control of turbine and hydraulic systems. Thistest may not be suitable for ranking oils in applications whe

12、reresidence times are short and gas contents are high.6.

Preparation of Apparatus9.1 Clean the interior of the test vessel, including the airinlet and sinker, and all other glassware coming in contact withthe sample, be

36、ater.9.1.4 Rinse with acetone (Warningsee 7.3) and dry withclean compressed air (Warningsee 7.4).NOTE 9Oil misting occurs during blowing. The test vessel should bein a hood, or the air outlet tube should be connected to a vent that removesthe vapors.10. Procedure10.1 Assemble the test apparatus as s

37、hown in Fig. 1. Set thecompressed air temperature to within 0.2 C of the desired testtemperature. Set the circulating bath to give a specimentemperature within 0.1 C of the desired test temperature. Therequired bath temperature setting and time for the specimen toequilibrate can be established for a

38、n equipment setup bymaking trial runs with a thermometer in the oil specimen. Foroils with a viscosity at 40 C of less than 9.0 mm2/s, the testtemperature shall be 25 C. For oils with a viscosity at 40 Cbetween 9.0 mm2/s and 90 mm2/s, the test temperature shall be50 C. Oils having a viscosity at 40

39、C greater than 90 mm2/sshall be tested at 75 C.10.2 Warm approximately 200 mL of the oil to be tested inan oven set at a temperature of 10 C higher than the testtemperature. Allow the sample to reach the test temperature.This may take about 20 min.10.3 Pour 180 mL 6 5 mLof the heated sample into the

40、 testvessel.10.4 Allow the sample to equilibrate to the desired testtemperature, using the heating-up time previously established(see 10.1) or by directly measuring the temperature.10.5 Warm the sinker of the balance to the test temperaturein an air bath, such as a glass cylinder fitted with a suita

41、blecover situated in the circulating bath. When the sinker hasreached the test temperature, immerse it in the sample, takingcare that no air bubbles cling to it. Attach the sinker to thebeam of the density balance by means of the platinum wire sothat the bottom of the sinker is 10 mm 6 2 mm from the

42、bottom of the test vessel.NOTE 10The sinker can take approximately 20 min to reach 50 C or35 min to reach 75 C.10.6 Allow the density reading to stabilize, read the densityfrom the balance to the nearest 0.1 kg/m3, and record it as theinitial density.10.7 Return the sinker to the air bath and replac

43、e it with theair inlet tube as shown in Fig. 2. After 5 min, start the supplyof air at a gage pressure of 20 kPa at the required temperature.Maintain the pressure and temperature of the air 25 C, 50 C,or 75 C by readjustments, if necessary.10.8 After 7 min 6 0.1 min, shut off the air and immediately

44、start the timer. Quickly remove the inlet tube from the testvessel, and immerse the sinker in the oil/air dispersion. Attachthe wire to the beam and maintain a distance of 10 mm 62 mm between the bottom of the sinker and the bottom of thetest vessel.NOTE 11In the case of certain oils, which form a c

45、onsiderable volumeof oil/air dispersion, the top of the sinker can initially be in foam, andhence, density readings at this time can be in error.10.9 Record the time, to the nearest 0.1 min (6 s), for thedensity to return to the target of 99.8 % of the initial density(d0). If the time is greater tha

46、n 30 min, discontinue the test.NOTE 12The test may be run for a longer period of time by agreementbetween the laboratory and the customer.NOTE 13For some applications, the shape of the air release time curvemay be required. This can be implemented by recording the density atintervals, as required.10

47、.10 Certain oils may lose light components during the airsaturation, thus changing 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

48、drawn. If theloss causes any part of the sinker to be exposed, discontinue thetest and repeat, using a sample that is 10 mL larger thanpreviously used.5The sole source of supply of Nochromix known to the committee at this timeis Godax Laboratories, Inc., 720-B Erie Ave., Takoma Park, MD 20912.
