For all Newtonian fluids and many

26、 non-Newtonian fluids,the yield stress is zero. An engine oil can have a yield stressthat is a function of its low-temperature cooling rate, soak time,and temperature.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 An engine oil sample is held at 80 C and then cooled ata programmed cooling rate to a final test tempera

Significanc

28、e and Use5.1 When an engine oil is cooled, the 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 t

29、est tempera-ture. These laboratory test results have predicted as failures theknown engine oils that have failed in the field because of lackof oil pumpability.4These documented field failing oils allconsisted of oils normally tested at 25 C. These field failuresare believed to be the result of the

30、oil forming a gel structurethat results in either excessive yield stress or viscosity of theengine oil, or both.5.2 Cooling Profiles:5.2.1 For oils to be tested at 20 C or colder, Table X1.1applies. The cooling profile described in Table X1.1 is based onthe viscosity properties of the ASTM Pumpabili

31、ty ReferenceOils (PRO). This series of oils includes oils with normallow-temperature flow properties and oils that have been4Pumpability Reference Oils (PRO) 21 through 29.D4684 142associated with low-temperature pumpability problems (1-5).5Significance for the 35 C and 40 C temperature profiles isb

32、ased on the data collected from the “Cold Starting andPumpability Studies in Modern Engines” conducted by ASTM(6,7).5.2.2 For oils to be tested at 15 C or 10 C, Table X1.2applies. No significance has been determined for this tempera-ture profile because of the absence of appropriate referenceoils. S

33、imilarly, precision of the test method using this profilefor the 10 C test temperature is unknown. The temperatureprofile 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

The tolerance on the bottom half is suchthat it will easily fit into cell but not allow cap to contact rotorshaft. The piece has a center bore of 11 mm 6 1 mm. The cap

39、is made in two halves to facilitate placement in the top of thecell.6.1.2.1 Cell caps shall not be used in the direct refrigerationinstruments, since such use would block the flow of cold, dryair into the stators to keep them frost-free.6.2 Weights:6.2.1 Yield Stress MeasurementA set of nine disks a
