28、hose designed for use in industrial processes. Judgement on the suitability of the use of these lubricants for any given equipment is not the object of the present standard. This has to be verified by functional tests laid down in the appropriate appliance or control standards. Notwithstanding the l

29、imits of operating temperature covered by this standard, it may be necessary to check any specific operating temperature by functional testing and compatibility trials. The lubricants covered by this standard are compatible with copper and copper alloys. Compatibility with other metals e.g.aluminium

30、 and aluminium alloys (which might be corroded by alkaline soaps) has to be confirmed by long term functional tests at the maximum working temperature. This standard contains an informative Annex A on the preparation of a standard reference elastomer used for testing the compatibility with elastomer

31、s. 1 Scope This standard specifies requirements and methods of test for lubricants to be used in gas appliances of all categories including auxiliary equipment mounted or intended to be mounted on such appliances and which may be in contact with combustible gases, except those designed for use in in

32、dustrial processes. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent ame

33、ndments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies.

35、Classification of the lubricants The manufacturer shall declare the temperature class of the lubricant as given in Table 1. 4 Requirements 4.1 Behaviour at low temperature The flow pressure of the lubricant, determined according to5.1, shall not exceed1500mbar. 4.2 Behaviour at high temperature The

36、loss in mass of the lubricant, tested according to5.2, shall not exceed8% of the initial value. Table 1 Temperature classes In addition, the apparent dynamic viscosity of the lubricant shall not be increased by more than100% or decreased by more than50% compared with the initial value. 4.3 Resistanc

37、e to gas The increase in mass of the lubricant in gaseous butane, tested according to5.3, shall not exceed10% of the initial value. 4.4 Compatibility with copper The appearance of copper test strips tested in accordance with5.4 shall give a classification2 or less for all classes in accordance with

38、clause5 of ISO2160:1985 when compared with the reference strips. 4.5 Compatibility with elastomers The increase in volume of the standard reference nitrile elastomer, tested in lubricant according to5.5, shall not exceed10% of the initial value. The maximum change in hardness is10IRHD. 5 Methods of

39、test 5.1 Behaviour at low temperature 5.1.1 Principle The method consists of determining the relative flow pressure of the lubricant at0 C, that is to say, the pressure required for complete expulsion of the lubricant contained in a nozzle. Range of operating temperature ( C) From to 0 60 0 90 0 120

40、 0 140 0 160 Class A B C D EEN377:1993 4 BSI 12-1999 5.1.2 Apparatus (Figure 1) The apparatus comprises a tube in the shape of a cross made from glass or metal, with a nozzle and its holder at the end of the lower tube section and a stopper with a hole for the thermometer at the top end of the upper

41、 tube section complete with holder. One of the lateral tube sections is connected to an air supply under pressure, the other to a pressure gauge. These different components are described below. Nozzle The nozzle (Figure 3) is a steel cylinder having a collar and with an orifice in the form of a trun

42、cated cone. It is mounted in a nozzle holder (Figure 4) which, in turn, screws onto a brass casing (Figure 2) retained with a suitable glue. Thermometer The thermometer measures the test temperature with an accuracy of 1 C. It is inserted into the vertical section of the test apparatus where it is h

43、eld in position by a rubber stopper through which it passes and which fits into the enlarged section of the tube thus locating the thermometer in the centre of the triangular orifice at the entry to the nozzle in conjunction with the casing. Control gauge This accessory (Figure 5) is used to positio

44、n the lower part of the thermometer in the casing. Pressure gauge up to1500mbar having readabilityu5mbar. Test tube with a diameter of around25mm and a height of130mm to accept the lower part of the equipment with the nozzle. It is closed by a perforated and split rubber stopper. Liquid bath with co

45、ver, containing a liquid, the temperature of which can be controlled to(0 1) C. The bath cover shall have an opening through which the lower part of the test apparatus (N.B. Inserted into the test tube) can be immersed into the temperature controlled liquid to a depth of at least65mm. Chronometer, t

46、olerance1s. Cotton lint or absorbent paper Glass plate Source of compressed air 5.1.3 Method of operation Clean the base of the apparatus and the nozzle carefully with cotton lint or absorbent paper without using solvents. The thermometer is mounted as shown in Figure 1 and adjusted by means of the

47、control gauge which is inserted into the apparatus through the nozzle for a length of21mm. The lower step of the gauge is positioned level with the exit of the nozzle. The lower end of the thermometer shall touch the upper end of the gauge. Remove the nozzle. Fill the nozzle by spreading lubricant o

48、n the glass plate as a bubble free layer and placing the nozzle on this bed of lubricant with the large opening underneath, pressing until it contacts the glass plate.The nozzle should then be separated from the glass plate by lateral movement and the operation repeated until lubricant is emitted fr

49、om the smaller opening. Excess lubricant is removed with a spatula. Assemble the apparatus with the nozzle arranged as in Figure 1 and insert the lower part into the test tube. Connect one of the laterals to the pressure source and the other to the pressure gauge. Condition the apparatus at a temperature of(0 1) C for(2,5 0,5)h in the liquid bath. Raise the pressure by stages of25mbar every30s. The flow pressure is defined as being the highest level of pressure reached,
