During the bearing preparation, handle the bearingswith tongs or protective gloves. Do not touch the beari

24、ngs withbare fingers at any time. Use two new bearings for each greasebeing tested.8.2 Number bearings on the outside diameter of the outerring, but do not use chemical etching. One method to numberthe bearings is with an electric pen, which should be groundedon the outer ring surface being marked.8

25、.3 Wash the selected bearings thoroughly in hot (50 to65C) mineral spirits (Warningsee 7.8) to remove the rustpreventive. To ensure complete removal, subject the bearing toa second wash in fresh hot mineral spirits. (WarningThewashing temperatures specified are considerably above theflash point of t

26、he solvent. Accordingly, the washing operationshould be carried out in a well-ventilated hood where noignition source is present.)8.4 Transfer bearings to the solvent rinse solution(Warningsee 7.7.3) to remove any mineral spirits whichmay be present. Rinse each bearing and slowly rotate one ringrela

27、tive to the other ring in fresh hot (65 65C) solvent rinsesolution. Fresh rinse solution is used to avoid the selectiveevaporation of the components at the rinse temperature.NOTE 2Care must be taken when handling bearings in the hot rinsesolution to avoid burns. Tongs and heat resistant gloves are r

28、ecommended.8.5 Remove each bearing from the solvent rinse solutionand place on filter paper to drain. After draining, dry thebearing in an oven at 90 6 2C for 15 to 30 min.8.6 Permit the bearing to cool to room temperature andreexamine the surfaces to ensure that corrosion-free bearingshave been sel

29、ected. (Exercise care when handling the bearingto avoid rotating one ring relative to the other ring aftercleaning and drying.)8.6.1 Inspect the outer ring tracks.

Lift the shaft andbearings on to a suitable support on the work bench. Unscrewthe sleeve nuts one or t

Tap the bearings lightlyto free them, then pull bearings, sleeves, and seals off the shaft.9.12 Dismantle the bearings for inspection by prying ballsout of the cage pockets until the outer ring can be removed.9.13 Wash the outer rings in the solvent rinse solution anddry, using a lin

Rating Procedure10.1 Visually examine the outer ring track area for rust oretch spots, without the aid of any optical adjuncts, and evaluateas described in Table 1. Fig. 1 illustrates the area to beexamined. Fig. 2 illustrates examples intended to assist in thea

41、ssessment of the degree of corrosion. Ignore any stainingthrough which the underlying metal surface is clearly visible.11. Report11.1 Report the degree of corrosion and the type of watersolution used for the test in accordance with one of theclassifications and descriptions in Table 1. If the two ra

42、tingsagree within the precision given for repeatability, report thetwo figures, otherwise make two further determinations.NOTE 4To assist in estimating percentage corrosion area, a transpar-ent grid divided into suitable squares can be used.12. Precision and Bias12.1 PrecisionThe precision of this t

43、est method, as deter-mined by statistical examination of interlaboratory results, is asfollows:12.1.1 RepeatabilityThe difference between successivetest results, obtained by the same operator with the sameapparatus under constant operating conditions on identical testmaterial, in the normal and corr

44、ect operation of the testmethod, would exceed the values shown in Table 2 only in onecase in twenty.12.1.2 ReproducibilityThe difference between two singleand independent results, obtained by different operators work-ing in different laboratories on nominally identical test mate-rial, in the normal

45、and correct operation of the test method,would exceed the values shown in Table 2 only in one case intwenty.NOTE 5The precision is based on that adopted by the ISO committeefrom the IP Precision Evaluation Panel reports issued on June 27, 1979and January 28, 1980, for the IP 220 round robin performe

46、d in 1965. Acopy of these reports is available from ASTM Headquarters.612.2 BiasThe procedure for determining the corrosionpreventive properties of grease has no bias because the value ofcorrosion is defined only in terms of this test method.6Supporting data have been filed at ASTM International Hea
