1、Designation: D6922 11Standard Test Method forDetermination of Homogeneity and Miscibility in AutomotiveEngine Oils1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6922; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year

2、of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination if an automo-tive engine oil is homogeneous and will remain so, and if it

3、 ismiscible with certain standard reference oils after being sub-mitted to a prescribed cycle of temperature changes. This testmethod is very similar to the homogeneity and miscibility testdescribed in FEDSTD791/3470.1.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units o

12、Summary of Test Method4.1 Visual color determinations and observations are madeon an undiluted test oil specimen, along with six blends of thesame test oil that have been combined with specific referenceoils. The pour point is then determined for the undiluted test oilspecimen and the six blends. Th

The undiluted test oil specimenand six blends are then allowed to thaw and a series of colordeterminations and observati

Significance and Use5.1 It is important that engine oils from different manufac-turers be homogeneous and miscible with each other, becauseoperators of automotive engines often do not have priorknowledge of the man

18、ufacturer of the oil that is currently usedin their application, and engine failure can occur if oils arecombined that do not stay homogeneous and function properly.6. Apparatus6.1 Test Jarcylindrical, of clear glass, flat bottom, 33.2 to34.8-mm outside diameter, and 115 to 125 mm in height. Theinsi

19、de diameter of the jar can range from 30.0 to 32.4 mm,within the constraint that the wall thickness be no greater than1.6 mm. The jar shall have a line to indicate a sample height563 mm above the inside bottom.6.2 ThermometersASTM 6C, calibrated with a range of(80 to +20) C, conforming to Specificat

In addition,temperature measuring devices such as liquid-in-glass ther-mometers, thermocouples, or platinum resistance thermom-eters can be used, if they provide equivalent or better accuracyand precision, and cover the required temperature range.6.3 Stoppersclean stoppers, some unbored and

21、otherscentrally bored for test thermometers.6.4 Jacketa glass or metal, water tight, cylindrical formwith a flat bottom and approximately 120 mm in depth. Theinside diameter of the jacket shall be 9.0 to 12.0 mm greaterthan the outside diameter of the test jar.6.5 Diskcork or felt, about 6 mm in thi

22、ckness and of thesame diameter as the inside of the jacket.6.6 Gasketa ring gasket, about 5.0 mm in thickness, to fitsnugly around the outside of the test jar and loosely inside thejacket. The purpose of the ring gasket is to prevent the test jarfrom touching the jacket.6.7 Batha liquid cooling bath

They save test time, permit the use of smalle

24、rsamples, and have other factors which may merit their use. Ifautomated testers are used, the user shall ensure that all of themanufacturers instructions for calibration, adjustment, andoperation of the instrument are followed. It shall be reportedthat the pour point was determined by an automatic i

25、nstrument.In some cases, precision of automatic pour point testers maynot have been determined. In any case of dispute, the pourpoint as determined by the manual method described hereinshall be considered the referee test.7.

27、the bottom.9.2.2 Mark the first test jar for use with the undiluted test oilspecimen.9.2.3 Mark six test jars with the letters A through F todesignate which reference oil will be mixed with the test oil.9.3 Vigorously shake the test oil.9.4 Using test oil, fill the six jars (that were marked for use

28、with reference oil) to the 23-mm mark.9.5 Fill the test jar that was marked for the undiluted test oil,to the 54-mm mark.9.6 Vigorously shake the six reference oils.9.7 Fill the test jars marked A through F with the corre-sponding reference oil to the 54-mm mark.9.8 Firmly place the unbored stoppers
