Summary of Test Method4.1 A prepared elastomer coupon is measured for initialhardness (Dur

30、ometer A), density or relative density (to ensurethat the coupon is within specified limits), and volume by waterdisplacement. The coupon is immersed in test grease or fluidand aged for 70 h at either 100C (for chloroprene and similarflex-resistant elastomers) or 150C (for nitrile and similarheat-re

31、sistant elastomers) or at other conditions as required bythe lubricant specification. The resulting changes in hardnessand volume are determined.5.

Originally produced in 2006.D4289 132applied to lubricants used in industrial applications as well.Excepting the Shore DurometerA, this test method requires nospecialized, rubber-testing equipment. Virtually all otherequipment and supplies specified in the p

35、rocedure are stockitems in lubricants laboratories.5.2 The volume and hardness-change values determined bythis test method do not duplicate similar changes that occur inelastomeric seals under actual service conditions. However,they can be correlated in many instances. In one such instance,the volum

36、e-change values determined by the antecedent of thistest method correlated (r2= 0.99) with those that occurredduring a vehicle test.7Because of wide variations in serviceconditions and differences in grease and elastomerformulations, correlations between the results obtained withthis test method and

37、 particular applications should be deter-mined on an individual basis.5.3 When the optional Reference ElastomersAMS 3217/2C(acrylonitrile-butadiene, NBR-L) and AMS 3217/3A(chloroprene, CR) are used to evaluate compatibility, theresults can be used to judge a service characteristic oflubricants. In t

38、his respect, this test method is useful forlubricant specifications (for example, Specification D4950).Similarly, this test method can be used in specifications forlubricating fluids as well.5.4 With specifications requiring elastomers other than Ref-erence Elastomers AMS 3217/2C or AMS 3217/3A, cou

39、ponscut from standard sheets (Practice D3182) should be used.When the preparation of such coupons is not feasible, or thelubricant specification requires the use of rubber products thatdo not have a suitable size or configuration for use in preparingcoupons for testing (Practice D3183), this test me

40、thod can beused as a guide for evaluating compatibility.NOTE 5Inasmuch as the precision values apply only to the elastomersspecified in Annex A1 of Test Method D4289, when a lubricant specifi-cation requires some other elastomer, the user and supplier of the lubricantshould agree to the values of ac

41、ceptable precision. Such values may ormay not be the same as those of Test Method D4289. It is recommendedthat the agreed upon precision values be stated in the users lubricantspecification.5.5 The results of this test method are most applicable to theuse of lubricating greases and fluids in contact

42、 with elastomericseals, boots, O-rings, and similar products, where the physicaldemands on the elastomer are not extreme. In critical applica-tions where the lubricant will be in contact with rubber partssubject to severe flexing, extreme temperatures, or similarstresses, other rubber properties, su

43、ch as tensile strength andelongation, should also be evaluated as they may be moreindicative of the true compatibility characteristics.6. Interferences6.1 (WarningAlthough greases and elastomers typicallyhave long shelf lives, there is potential for change in time.Therefore, in order to ensure accep

44、table precision in this testmethod, neither test greases nor test elastomers should be morethan approximately one year old.)6.1.1 Before testing with reference elastomers stored forextended periods (approaching one year or more) or in anadverse environment (high ambient temperatures, solventvapors,

45、and so forth), the elastomers should be checked forconformance with the requirements in Table A1.1.NOTE 6Experience has shown that storage conditions can affect theshelf life of the reference elastomers. Shelf life can be extended by storingelastomers in the dark in an inert atmosphere (such as a gl

46、ass or metal, butnot plastic, container, for example, vacuum desiccator, in which the air hasbeen replaced by nonreactive gas (such as argon or nitrogen) at refrigera-tor temperatures. Elastomers should not be stored at temperatures lowerthan 5C because of crystallinity and solubility changes that c

47、an affect testperformance. Neither should they be stored at reduced pressures or inpermeable containers or wrappers which could allow them to be affectedby the normal atmosphere.7.
