THE ROLE OF THE ASTM TEST MONITORING CENTER (TMC)A1.1 The TMC is a nonprofit organ

18、ization located at 6555Penn Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15206. It is staffed to administerengineering studies; conduct laboratory visits; perform statis-tical analysis of test; to blend, store, and ship reference oils;and to provide associated administrative functions connectedwith the referencing and cali

19、bration of various lubricant tests.The TMC maintains a close connection with test sponsors, testdevelopers, the surveillance panels, and the testing laborato-ries. The management of these functions is vested in the TestMonitoring Board, whose members are elected by Subcommit-tee D02.B0. The TMC oper

20、ates under the ASTM Charter andits associated bylaws and regulations, the bylaws of CommitteeD02 and Subcommittee D02.B0, and the Rules and Regula-tions of the Test Monitoring Board. The operating income ofthe TMC is obtained from fees levied on the reference oilssupplied and on the conduct of the c

21、alibration tests. These feesare set by Subcommittee D02.B0 and are regularly reviewed.A1.2 Information LettersA1.2.1 It occasionally becomes necessary to change a testprocedure and to notify test laboratories of the change beforethe change can be considered by Subcommittee D02.B0 onAutomotive Lubric

22、ants or Committee D02 on Petroleum Prod-ucts and Lubricants. In such a case, the TMC will issue anInformation Letter. Subsequently, prior to each semiannualCommittee D02 meeting, the accumulated Information Lettersare balloted in Subcommittee D02.B0. This ballot is reviewedat the Subcommittee D02.B0

23、 meeting, and the actions taken arethen considered by Committee D02. In this way, theASTM dueprocess procedures are applied to the Information Letters.A1.2.2 The review of an Information Letter prior to itsoriginal issue will differ in accordance with its nature. In thecase of an Information Letter

24、that does not affect test results,such as notification of a part number change, the TMC isauthorized to issue an Information Letter. A survey or studyconducted by the Surveillance Panel resulting in a recommen-dation for a change in hardware or procedure may results in theissuance of an Information

25、Letter. If an urgent change tohardware or procedure are obviously necessary, the test spon-sor and the TMC may issue an Information Letter and presentit for approval, with the background and data, for approval bythe Surveillance Panel prior to the next semiannual CommitteeD02 meeting.A1.2.3 Authorit

26、y for the issue of Information Letters wasgiven by the Committee on Technical Committee Operations(COTCO) in 1984, as follows: “COTCO recognizes that D02has a unique and complex situation. The use of InformationLetters is approved provided that each letter (at its initial issue)contains a disclaimer

27、 to the effect that it has not obtainedASTM consensus. These Information Letters should be movedto such consensus as rapidly as possible.”A1.3 TMC MemorandaIn addition to the InformationLetter system, the TMC will provide information to theSurveillance Panel and to participating laboratories in the

28、formof ASTM TMC memoranda. These are used to convey suchinformation as batch approvals for test parts or materials, toclarify misunderstandings concerning the test procedure, toprovide notes and suggestions for the collection and analysis ofspecial data that the TMC may call for, or for any other ma

29、ttershaving no direct effect on the test performance results orprecision and bias.A1.4 Precision DataOne measure of test precision isestablished on the basis of reference oils (calibration) testresults monitored by the ASTM TMC. Current data may beobtained from the TMC.D 6121 06a8A2. AXLE COVER EXAM

The test procedures and conditions described pre

34、vi-ously in this test method will be referred to as the standardversion. All versions maintain the same test procedures, wheelload, and wheel speed conditions. The differences occur in theaxle oil temperature and axle type used. Table A6.1 describeseach version.A6.3 L-37 Canadian Version Test Requir

35、ementsA6.3.1 Calibration Test Acceptance (see Section 9):A6.3.1.1 Calibration status of the L-37 Canadian Versiontest is determined by successfully calibrating a test standaccording to the L-37 Standard Version test requirementsdetailed in Section 9. In other words, a stand that is calibratedfor the

36、 L-37 Standard Version test is automatically calibratedfor the L-37 Canadian Version test.A6.3.2 Apparatus:A6.3.2.1 Use five spray nozzles to distribute water over thecover late and axle housing as shown in Fig. A5.1. Actuate thewater control valves by the temperature PID control system(see 6.2.4.3)

37、.A6.3.2.2 Use two control valves to control the cooling watersupply. The control valves shall be a12 in. two-way, C lineartrim, air to close, Research Control valve. Use only one PIDloop to maintain axle lubricant temperature control (see6.2.4.3(2).A6.3.3 Test Procedure:A6.3.3.1 Operate the test as

39、220 6 3F (104.4 6 1.7C) (see 10.1.1).A6.3.3.3 At the end of the 100 min, set the temperaturecontrol to maintain a lubricant temperature of 200 6 3F (93.36 1.7C), close the throttle smoothly, shift transmission toneutral, and record ending time and temperature of the lubri-cant (see 10.1.7).A6.3.3.4

40、Ensure that the axle temperature control is still setto maintain a lubricant temperature of 200 6 3F (93.3 61.7C) (see 10.2.1).A6.3.4 Determination of Test ResultsWhen using thelubrited hardware, gear set V1L686/P4L626A, for non-reference oil tests, add a correction factor of 0.6065 to thepinion and

41、 ring transformed ridging test result (see 12.2.3.3).Record these results on Form 1 of the test report (see AnnexA7).A6.3.4.1 When using the lubrited hardware gear set L247/T758A, for non-reference oil tests, add a correction factor of0.5878 to the transformed pinion ridging test result and add acor

42、rection factor of 0.7340 to the transformed pinion pitting/spalling test result.
