Summary of Test Method4.1 Multiple test tubes, each containing

15、test oil and aspecimen, are placed in a test tube rack, which is attached to amechanical shaker. The shaker speed and temperature arecontrolled.4.2 Air and an acidic solution are continuously fed into eachtest tube over an 18 h period to create a corrosive environment.4.3 The specimens are then remo

16、ved, rinsed, and analyzedby an optical imaging system designed to quantify the antirustcapability of each test oil.5. Significance and Use5.1 This bench test method was designed as a replacementfor Test Method D 5844. Test Method D 5844 was designed tomeasure the ability of an engine oil to protect

17、valve traincomponents against rusting or corrosion under low tempera-ture, short-trip service, and was correlated with vehicles in thattype of service prior to 1978.55.1.1 Correlation between these two test methods has beendemonstrated for most, but not all, of the test oils evaluated.6.

36、ges.8. Preparation of Apparatus8.1 Specimens:8.1.1 Remove the appropriate number of specimens fromvacuum-sealed packages into a 4-oz (100cc) bottle (clear,medium-round with cap). Add sufficient heptane (see 7.1.3),approximately 2 oz (60 cc), to cover specimens.8.1.2 Cap the bottle loosely and place

37、it in an ultrasoniccleaning bath. Sonicate for 30 min, and then decant theheptane.8.1.3 Rinse two more times with heptane and follow with anacetone (see 7.1.2) rinse to ensure the specimens are free ofcontamination. Dry the specimens with nitrogen for 30 to 60 s.NOTE 2The specimens can be prepared u

38、p to one week in advanceand stored in heptane until needed for testing.8.2 Test Tube Assembly, Tube Rack, and Shaker for EachTest Tube:8.2.1 Cut 24 separate pieces of TFE-fluorocarbon FEPtubing, each piece to be 9.5-in. (24-cm) long.8.2.1.1 Use compressed air (for technical use only), 50 psig(347 kP

39、a) minimum, to remove most of the water/oil emulsionthat may be trapped inside the short lengths of capillary tubing.Clean the tubing with heptane (see 7.1.3), followed by acetone(see 7.1.2), and dry with compressed air.8.2.2 Check the flangeless fitting for116-in. O.D. TFE-fluorocarbon tubing for d

40、eterioration, and replace as necessary.8.2.3 Remove and discard the plunger from a new 20-mLdisposable plastic syringe (Luer-Lok), and securely fasten thesyringe barrel to the short capillary tubing, using couplings,14-28 thread, and female Luer CTFE fittings,14-28 thread, andwith a 1.5-mm bore.8.2.

41、3.1 Label the syringes (test tubes) from 1 to 24.8.2.4 Place the assembled test tube in the tube rack with thecapillary tubing facing upward in the adjacent small hole.8.2.4.1 The test tube assembly rack is a specially designedaluminum fabrication. It holds 24 test tubes with easy snap-onlock, wing

42、nuts, and hold-down bars (see Fig. 5).8.2.5 Place one precleaned specimen into each test tube,using extra-long forceps that are 7 in. (175 mm) with serratedtips to avoid contamination.8.2.6 Insert 10 mL of test oil into each test tube, using a10-mL disposable syringe.8.2.7 Secure the test tubes to t

43、he tube holder with threehold-down bars and three wing nuts.8.2.8 Fasten the test tube assembly rack to the shakerplatform with four custom-made wing bolts.8.3 Acid Delivery System:8.3.1 Withdraw 6 mL of acid solution by hand from awide-mouth beaker into an individual 5-mL disposable plasticsyringe

44、(Luer-Lok).8.3.1.1 Attach the syringe to an acid inlet port of one of the24 three-way switching valves, with14-28 thread. (The othertwo ports are used for air inlet and mixed air/acid outlet.)8.3.2 Turn the three-way valve to two-way open and eject,by hand, about 0.5 mL of acid solution into a waste

45、 beaker,while ensuring that no air bubbles remain in the syringe.8.3.2.1 Place the syringe that now contains about 5.5 mL ofacid solution on the holder of the multiple syringes pump.8.3.3 Repeat the above procedure for the other 23 aciddelivery syringes.8.3.4 There are three multiple syringe pumps,

46、and eight ofthe 5-mL syringes are attached to each of the pumps.8.3.4.1 The pumps each have a ten-position rack and arerequired to satisfy a flow rate range of 0.0001 L/h, minimum,to 220.82 mL/min, maximum. Required accuracy is 61 %, andreproducibility is 6 0.1 %.8.3.5 Ensure that the syringe barrel

47、 flange and the plungerflange are firmly held by the six retaining clamps, which are2-in. (51-mm) C-clamps that secure the ends of the hold-downbars of the multiple syringes pump.8.3.5.1 Good alignment of all 24 acid delivery syringesagainst the retaining brackets is crucial to ensure repeatability.

48、(See Fig. 3 for a photograph of the acid delivery system, andFig. 4 for a schematic.)8.3.6 Cut 24 pieces of TFE-fluorocarbon tubing; each pieceto be 51 6 1 in. (1295 6 25 mm) in length.8.3.6.1 Attach each of these tubes to the mixed air/acidoutlet ports of the three-way switching valves.8.4 Air Deli
