10、easurement Re-sults43. Summary of Test Method3.1 The kinematic viscosity is determined by measuring thetime taken for a sample to fill a calibrated volume at a giventemperature. The specimen is injected into the apparatus andthen flows into the viscometer tube which is equipped with twodetection cel

11、ls. The specimen reaches the test temperature ofthe viscometer bath and when the leading edge of the specimenpasses in front of the first detection cell, the automatedinstrument starts the timing sequence. When the leading edgeof the specimen passes in front of the second detection cell, theinstrume

12、nt stops timing the flow. The time interval thusmeasured allows the calculation of the kinematic viscosityusing a viscometer tube constant determined earlier by calibra-tion with certified viscosity reference standards.3.2 The kinematic viscosity is calculated using the formula:n5C 3 t (1)where:n =

16、es.t = the flow time in s measured during the test.4. Significance and Use4.1 Many petroleum products and some non-petroleumproducts are used as lubricants in the equipment, and thecorrect operation of the equipment depends upon the appropri-ate viscosity of the lubricant being used. Additionally, t

17、heviscosity of many petroleum fuels is important for the estima-tion of optimum storage, handling, and operational conditions.Thus, the accurate determination of viscosity is essential tomany product specifications.4.2 The viscosity of used oils is a commonly determinedparameter in the oil industry

18、to assess the effect of engine wearon the lube oils used, as well as the degradation of the engineparts during operation.4.3 The Houillon viscometer tube method offers automateddetermination of kinematic viscosity. Typically a sample vol-ume of less than 1 mL is required for the analysis.5. Apparatu

29、7. Sampling7.1 Obtain a representative test specimen in accordancewith Practice D 4057 or Practice D 4177.8. Preparation of Apparatus8.1 Place the automated viscometer on a stable and levelhorizontal surface. Make appropriate piping, drainage, andvacuum connections. Refer to the manufacturers instru

30、ctions.8.2 If not already mounted, install the detection cells.8.3 After installing and securing all viscometer tubes in thebath, fill the bath with appropriate amount of bath fluid (see6.4).8.4 Add the appropriate amount of solvent(s) to the solventreservoir(s).8.5 Follow the manufacturers instruct

31、ions for the operationof the instrument.8.6 Select a clean, dry, and calibrated viscometer tubehaving a range covering the estimated kinematic viscosity ofthe specimen to be tested, if known. The appropriate viscom-eter tube to use depends on the estimated viscosity of thesample to be tested. The ca

32、lculation in 8.6.1 may be used todecide which tube to use.8.6.1 Using Eq 1, the viscometer tube should be chosen sothat its constant C falls between n/200 C n/30 to give flowtimes, T, between 30 and 200 s.NOTE 1In the interlaboratory study5conducted for the developmentof this test method, the flow t

33、imes were between 30 and 200 s.8.6.2 If a viscosity estimate is not known, a second analysismay be necessary using a different viscometer tube after a firsttrial analysis.9. Calibration9.1 Calibrate according to the manufacturers instructions.Calibrated tubes may be purchased but shall be verified a

34、s per9.4.9.2 Use certified viscosity reference standards (see 6.1).9.3 Refer to Section 10 for general operation of the auto-mated viscometer and to the manufacturers instructions.9.4 The determined kinematic viscosity should match thecertified value within 60.5 %. If it does not, then reanalyze the

35、standard. If the value is still out of range, then check all controlsystem settings for the viscometer tube, and recheck each stepin the procedure, including the temperature measuring device,and viscometer calibration to locate the source of error.NOTE 2The most common sources of error are caused by

36、 particles ofdust lodged in the capillary bore of the viscosity tube (particularly for usedoils) and temperature measurement errors. Modification of the cleaningconstants by increasing the number of cycles and increasing the aspirationtime before and after passage of the solvent (see Section 11) may

38、D727906310. General Procedure for Kinematic Viscosity10.1 Set and maintain the automated viscometer bath at therequired test temperature.10.1.1 Thermometers, if used, shall be held in an uprightposition under the same conditions of immersion as whencalibrated.10.2 Use a micro-pipette for injecting t

39、he specimen. Thespecimen volume to be used is a function of the viscometertube constant. Follow manufacturers instructions as to thevolume to be used.10.3 Inject the specimen into the viscometer tube. Start themeasurement sequence.10.4 The automated viscometer processing system willmeasure the flow

40、times, calculate the viscosity according to Eq1, and record the result.10.5 Start the cleaning sequence (see Section 11).10.6 Allow the viscometer tube to reach the bath tempera-ture (about 5 min) before performing a new measurement.NOTE 3In some units, the equilibration time required may be muchles

41、s than 5 min.11. Cleaning of Viscosity Tubes11.1 The viscometer tubes are cleaned by vacuuming thespecimen residue left in the viscometer tube followed by theuse of a solvent to remove any traces of the specimen on theviscometer tube walls. The solvent is then removed by vacuum.Some units use a seco

42、nd solvent for drying the tube. Thisoperation is repeated several times until the viscometer tube isclean. Periodically, the viscometer tube calibration constantshould be checked.11.2 The solvent(s) should have a boiling point appropriatefor the bath temperature.11.2.1 The solvent flow must be suffi

43、cient to clean the entireinternal section of the viscometer tube. This can be achieved byadjusting the solvent flow(s) and the flow rate using appropri-ate controls.11.3 The cleaning of one tube shall not be carried out whilea test is being performed in another tube in the same bath.NOTE 4Some multi

44、ple tube systems, although not included in theinterlaboratory study5conducted to obtain the precision and bias of thistest method, are designed to clean tubes while other tubes are performingviscosity measurements. Hence, this cleaning does not interfere with thevalidity of the tests underway in the

45、 instrument.11.4 To ensure good operation, regularly check the viscom-eter tubes for damage and cleanliness. The latter can be doneby checking with the reference oils suitable for the particulartube being used. Use these check oils like regular samples. Ifthe results obtained are different from the

46、certified values ofthese oils, it is necessary to carry out a more vigorous cleaningof the tubes in question. Non-chromium containing cleaningsolution (see 6.2) may have to be used.11.5 The frequency at which the tubes should be checkedusing reference oils depends on the frequency with which thetube

47、s are used for measurements.12. Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA)12.1 Confirm proper performance of the instrument and thetest procedure by analyzing a QC sample.12.2 If a suitable QC oil sample is not available, prepare theQC material by replicate analyses of a batch of oil sample andstatis

48、tically analyze the data to assign a mean value anduncertainty limit to the sample.12.3 When QC/QA protocols are already established in thetesting facility, these may be used when they confirm thereliability of the test result.12.4 When there is no QC/QA protocol established in thetesting facility,

49、Appendix X1 can be used as the QC/QAsystem. Further guidance can be obtained from Guide D 6792.13.

Precision and Bias14.1 PrecisionBased on an interlaboratory study per-formed in 2004 using 10 used and 5 fresh oil samples (viscosityrange 25 to 150 mm2/s at 40C and 6 to 16 mm2/s at 100C)and 15 laboratories, the following precisions were obtained.514.1.1 RepeatabilityThe difference between
