Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method is performed on SRV test machineusing a polymeric disk having three flat pins oscillating at 50Hz against a steel test

24、 disk with lubricant (grease) betweenthem. Test load is fixed to 2000 N using a test temperature of50C and a stroke of 1.5 mm during a test time of 2 h.NOTE 1Test frequency, stroke length, temperature, and polymericdisk and disk material can be varied to simulate field conditions. Thepolymeric disk

25、having three flat pins yields surface-on-flat contactgeometry.NOTE 2This test can not be executed with SRV I and SRV II models,as they are limited to 1200 N and 1400 N, respectively. The SRV III andSRV IV model are from the test chamber and operating conditionsidentical, but the SRV IV model allows

26、to tilt and rotate the test chamber.Both are fully computer controlled. This test runs in the SRV IV modelshorizontally and untilted.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method can be used to quickly determine thelubricating ability of greases lubricating automotive plasticsocket suspension joints.

27、This test method has found wideapplication in qualifying greases used in chassis systems. Thistest method is a material and application oriented approachbased on inputs from field experiences for characterizing thetribological behavior (friction and wear) using random, dis-crete, and constant parame

28、ter combinations. Users of this testmethod should determine whether results correlate with fieldperformance or other applications prior to commercialization.6.
