25、 Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 calibration oilsoils, nthose oils that establish the instruments reference framework of apparent viscosity versus speed,from which the apparent viscosities of test oils are determined. Calibration oils, which are essentially Newtonian fluids, shall beD4684 122o

26、btained from suppliers complying with ISO Guide 34, ISO Guide 35, and ISO 17025 with traceability to a national metrologyinstitute (NMI). These calibration oils will have an approximate viscosity of 30 Pas (30 000 cP) at 20C or 60 Pas (60 000 cP)at 25C.3.2.2 cell constantconstant, nthe ratio of the

27、calibration fluid viscosity to the time required to complete the first threemeasured revolutions of the rotor.3.2.3 test oiloil, nany oil for which the apparent viscosity and yield stress are to be determined by this test method.3.2.4 unused oiloil, nan oil which has not been used in an operating en

28、gine.3.2.5 used oiloil, nan oil which has been used in an operating engine.3.2.6 yield stressstress, nthe shear stress required to initiate flow. For all Newtonian fluids and many non-Newtonian fluids,the yield stress is zero. An engine oil can have a yield stress that is a function of its low-tempe

29、rature cooling rate, soak time, andtemperature.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 An engine oil sample is held at 80C and then cooled at a programmed cooling rate to a final test temperature and held fora specified time period. At the end of this period, a series of increasing low torques are applied to t

30、he rotor shaft until rotationoccurs to determine the yield stress, if any is exhibited. A higher torque is then applied to determine the apparent viscosity of thesample.5. Significance and Use5.1 When an engine oil is cooled, the rate and duration of cooling can affect its yield stress and viscosity

31、. In this laboratory test,a fresh engine oil is slowly cooled through a temperature range where wax crystallization is known to occur, followed by relativelyrapid cooling to the final test temperature. These laboratory test results have predicted as failures the known engine oils that havefailed in

32、the field because of lack of oil pumpability.4 These documented field failing oils have all consisted of oils normally testedat 25C. These field failures are believed to be the result of the oil forming a gel structure that results in either excessive yieldstress or viscosity of the engine oil, or b

33、oth.5.2 Cooling Profiles:5.2.1 For oils to be tested at 20C or colder, Table X1.1 applies. The cooling profile described in Table X1.1 is based on theviscosity properties of theASTM Pumpability Reference Oils (PRO). This series of oils includes oils with normal low-temperatureflow properties and oil

34、s that have been associated with low-temperature pumpability problems (1-5).5 Significance for the 35 and40C temperature profiles is based on the data collected from the “Cold Starting and Pumpability Studies in Modern Engines”conducted by ASTM (6,7).5.2.2 For oils to be tested at 15 or 10C, Table X

35、1.2 applies. No significance has been determined for this temperature profilebecause of the absence of appropriate reference oils. Similarly, precision of the test method using this profile for the 10C testtemperature is unknown. The temperature profile of Table X1.2 is derived from the one in Table

36、 X1.1 and has been moved up intemperature, relative to Table X1.1, in consideration of the expected higher cloud points of the viscous oils tested at 15and 10C.6. Apparatus6.1 Mini-Rotary ViscometerAn apparatus that consists of one or more viscometric cells in a temperature-controlled blockmade of a

37、 metallic material with high thermal conductivity. Each cell contains a calibrated rotor-stator set. The rotor shall havea crossbar near the top of the shaft extending in both directions far enough to allow the locking pin (6.6) to stop rotation atsuccessive half turns. Rotation of the rotor is achi

38、eved by an applied force acting through a string wound around the rotor shaft.6.1.1 The mini-rotary viscometric cell has the following dimensions:Diameter of rotor 17.06 0.08 mmLength of rotor 20.0 0.14 mmInside diameter of cell 19.07 0.08 mmRadius of shaft 3.18 0.13 mmRadius of string 0.1 mm6.1.2 C

39、ell CapA cover inserted into the top of the viscometer cell to minimize room air circulation into the cells is requiredfor thermometrically cooled instruments. The cell cap is a stepped cylinder 38 6 1 mm (1.5 6 0.05 in.) in length made of a lowthermal conductivity material, for example, thermoplast

40、ic such as acetyl copolymers that have known solvent resistivity and aresuitable for use between the temperature ranges of this test method. The top half is 28 6 1 mm (1.10 6 0.05 in.) in diameter andthe bottom half is 19 mm (0.745 in.) in diameter with a tolerance consistent with the cell diameter.

41、 The tolerance on the bottom4 Pumpability Reference Oils (PRO) 21 through 29.5 The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the references at the end of this standard.D4684 123half is such that it will easily fit into cell but not allow cap to contact rotor shaft. The piece has a center bore of 11 6

42、 1 mm (0.4386 0.05 in.). mm. The cap is made in two halves to facilitate placement in the top of the cell.6.1.2.1 Cell caps shall not be used in the direct refrigeration instruments, since such use would block the flow of cold, dry airinto the stators to keep them frost-free.6.2 Weights:6.2.1 Yield

Otherthermometric devices of equal accuracy and resolution may be used to measure the temperature, such as digital meters using aresistance temperature detector (RTD) or a thermistor sensor The DCT or the calibrated low temperature liquid

49、 thermistor that are either glass or metal sheathed.(3) For metal sheathed probe, use a 3 mm diameter probe with a sensing element that is less than 30 mm in length; a metalsheathed probe requires a thermowell sleeve measuring 6 mm outside diameter by 58 mm long with a hole in the center toaccommodate the probe. For a glass sheathed probe, use a probe 6 mm in diameter containing a sensing element less than 12 mmin length.(4) A combined (display and probe) minimum accuracy of
