1、Designation: D 4684 07An American National StandardStandard Test Method forDetermination of Yield Stress and Apparent Viscosity ofEngine Oils at Low Temperature1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4684; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal

2、adoption or, in the case of 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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defens

3、e.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the yieldstress and viscosity of engine oils after cooling at controlledrates over a period exceeding 45 h to a final test temperaturebetween 10 and 40C. The viscosity measurements are madeat a shear stress of 525 Pa over a shear rate of 0.4

4、to 15 s1. Theviscosity as measured at this shear stress was found to producethe best correlation between the temperature at which theviscosity reached a critical value and borderline pumpingfailure temperature in engines.1.2 Procedure A of this test method has precision stated fora yield range from

5、less than 35 Pa to 210 Pa and apparentviscosity range from 4300 to 270 000 mPas. The test proce-dure can determine higher yield stress and viscosity levels.1.3 This test method is applicable for unused oils, some-times referred to as fresh oils, designed for both light duty andheavy duty engine appl

6、ications. It also has been shown to besuitable for used diesel and gasoline engine oils. The applica-bility to petroleum products other than engine oils has not beendetermined.1.4 This test method uses the milliPascal second (mPas) asthe unit of viscosity. For information, the equivalent unit,centiP

7、oise (cP), is shown in parentheses.1.5 This test method contain two procedures: Procedure Aincorporates several equipment and procedural modificationsfrom Test Method D 468402 that have shown to improve theprecision of the test, while Procedure B is unchanged from TestMethod D 468402.Additionally, P

8、rocedureAapplies to thoseinstruments that utilize thermoelectric cooling technology andthose that use indirect refrigeration technology of recentmanufacture for instrument temperature control. Procedure Bcan use the same instruments used in Procedure A or thosecooled by circulating methanol.1.6 This

9、 standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of 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.

20、ework of apparent viscosity versusspeed, from which the apparent viscosities of test oils aredetermined. Calibration oils, which are essentially Newtonianfluids, are available commercially from suppliers complyingwith ISO 17025 and traceable to a national metrology institute(NMI), and have an approx

21、imate viscosity of 30 Pas (30 000cP) at 20C or 60 Pas (60 000 cP) at 25C.3.2.2 cell constantthe ratio of the calibration fluid viscos-ity to the time required to complete the first three measuredrevolutions of the rotor.3.2.3 test oilany oil for which the apparent viscosity andyield stress are to be

22、 determined by this test method.3.2.4 unused oilan oil which has not been used in anoperating engine.3.2.5 used oilan oil which has been used in an operatingengine.3.2.6 yield stressthe shear stress required to initiate flow.For all Newtonian fluids and many non-Newtonian fluids, theyield stress is

23、zero.An engine oil can have a yield stress that isa function of its low-temperature cooling rate, soak time, andtemperature.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 An engine oil sample is held at 80C and then cooled ata programmed cooling rate to a final test temperature and heldfor a specified time period.At

24、the end of this period, a series ofincreasing low torques are applied to the rotor shaft untilrotation occurs to determine the yield stress, if any is exhibited.A higher torque is then applied to determine the apparentviscosity of the sample.5. Significance and Use5.1 When an engine oil is cooled, t

25、he rate and duration ofcooling can affect its yield stress and viscosity. In thislaboratory test, a fresh engine oil is slowly cooled through atemperature range where wax crystallization is known to occur,followed by relatively rapid cooling to the final test tempera-ture. These laboratory test resu

26、lts have predicted as failures theknown engine oils that have failed in the field because of lackof oil pumpability.4These documented field failing oils haveall consisted of oils normally tested at 25C. These fieldfailures are believed to be the result of the oil forming a gelstructure that results

27、in either excessive yield stress or viscosityof the engine oil, or both.5.2 Cooling Profiles:5.2.1 For oils to be tested at 20C or colder, Table X1.1applies. The cooling profile described in Table X1.1 is based onthe viscosity properties of the ASTM Pumpability ReferenceOils (PRO). This series of oi

28、ls includes oils with normallow-temperature flow properties and oils that have beenassociated with low-temperature pumpability problems (1-5).5Significance for the 35 and 40C temperature profiles isbased on the data collected from the “Cold Starting andPumpability Studies in Modern Engines” conducte

29、d by ASTM(6,7).5.2.2 For oils to be tested at 15 or 10C, Table X1.2applies. No significance has been determined for this tempera-ture profile because of the absence of appropriate referenceoils. Similarly, precision of the test method using this profilefor the 10C test temperature is unknown. The te

30、mperatureprofile of Table X1.2 is derived from the one in Table X1.1 andhas been moved up in temperature, relative to Table X1.1,inconsideration of the expected higher cloud points of theviscous oils tested at 15 and 10C.6.
