4121 | 0 | AAR 942 | AAR-942 | Roll Stability 96 hrs. @ 180° F | 100 g | AAR-942 Elevated Temperature Roll Stability TestRailroads rely on axel boxes, bearings and other components to function, requiring a lubricating grease of proper consistency. If the grease thins from heat generated by forces (such as those caused by wheel/rail irregularities, roll resonance and rigid body motions), it may compromise grease functionality. This test uses the ASTM D1831 roll stability apparatus to determine changes in penetration numbers caused by combined heating with mechanical stresses. Smaller changes in penetration values indicate a better roll stability. The original ½ scale worked penetration is determined for the test grease. The grease is then placed in the roll stability apparatus and rolled for 96 hours at 82°C. The resulting grease is again subject to a worked penetration. Reported are the initial, final and change in penetration.

The proper level of MoS2 is important in greases. Insufficient MoS2, may limit lubricity of the grease. Excessive MoS2, may increase galvanic corrosion and wear, particularly in wet or oxidizing environments. This test determines the level of molybdenum disulfide in greases. The grease solids are isolated through a Soxhlet extraction. The solids are then processed through a series of chemical and physical processes and a final gravimetric determination is made to determine the percent of molybdenum disulfide in the sample. Please call us if you are interested in also determining lithium soap and polyethylene by this method.

Commercial thread compounds, such as those intended for underground pipelines, should have a consistency that allows for easy application at both room temperature and in colder environments. Consistency is measured by a penetration test. Thread compounds tend to become firmer (decreased penetration values) with decreasing temperature. This test determines the penetration values of thread compounds at both a room temperature and a below-freezing temperature to assure that the material will remain pliable when cold. Two samples are worked (60 strokes). A (25°C) penetration is then determined on the first sample. The second sample is cooled (-7°C) as per the method, and a penetration value is determined on the cooled compound. The penetration values at both temperatures are reported.

Because many of these applications are on or under the ground for many years, the thread compound needs to give proper coverage on application and adhere to the threads for the lifetime of the piping. Additionally, outdoor assembly of these pipe structures occurs in all kinds of weather, including environments both on land and at sea. This test determines the application and adherence properties of thread compounds when applied at low temperatures often seen in northern latitudes and at high temperatures seen in tropical areas. To test cold temperature application and adherence: the thread compound, application brush and pipe are brought to the cold test temperature (-7°C) and given time to stabilize. The thread compound is brushed on to the pipe and the brush-ability is observed. Reported are observations of layer uniformity, adhesion, and the formation of agglomerations or voids. To test elevated temperature application and adherence: a weighed amount of thread compound is applied to pipe threads to provide a uniform thickness. The pipe is maintained at the test temperature (66°C) for the test time (12 to 17 hours), allowed to cool to room temperature and reweighed. Reported is the mass loss of thread compound at the elevated temperature and observations of uniformity, adhesion, and the formation of voids or agglomerations.

If the consistency is too low, the grease may leak out of areas it is supposed to lubricate. If it is too high, it may not flow into areas that need lubrication. Grease that has received minimal disturbance, such as being moved from sample container to test container, is considered "unworked”. When grease is stroked (subjected to shearing action) it is considered "worked”. Stroking usually changes the consistency of grease, and grease stroked for prolonged periods of time may show further consistency changes. This test is intended to determine the consistency of a grease by measuring the depth to which a standard cone will sink when allowed to fall according to the method. The depth is measured in tenths of a millimeter and reported as a unitless number. Worked stabilities use a standard grease worker to apply a shear stress to the sample prior to measuring the penetration. This method requires 1.1 pound (0.5 kilogram) of sample. If you have a smaller quantity, please consider ASTM D1403 . For a more severe prolonged worked stability (100,000 stroke) penetration test, consider FTM 313. Many options are available for this test. When requesting it, please choose from the following: (1) unworked penetration – usually used for storage stability studies (2) 60 stroke worked penetration – the standard usually used to compare various greases and to assign NLGI numbers. (3) Worked stability (10,000 stroke) penetration – usually used to predict what will happen to grease during use. (4) Prolonged worked stability (100,000 stroke) penetration – usually used to predict what will happen to grease during extended use.

Wear debris, soot, sand and asphaltenes are typically insoluble in both pentane and toluene. This test determines the amount of pentane insolubles and toluene insolubles in lubricating oils. It indicates the amount of pentane-insolubles (including oxidation products which may accelerate acid formation and change oil viscosity) and the amount of pentane-and-toluene-insolubles (including wear debris and soot which may erode metal components and settle out on essential machine part This test has two options: Procedure A and Procedure B. Procedure A determines the amount of materials that can be readily removed by centrifuging. Procedure B determines both the amount of material that can readily be removed by centrifuging, as well as material that is held in suspension by detergents or other materials.
Procedure A repeatedly extracts the sample with pentane to remove the oil to give pentane-insolubles and then repeats the procedure and adds a toluene extraction to give pentane-and-toluene-insolubles.

The tendency to form small droplets and to puddle on smooth surfaces can also be indicated. In mineral oils, such as electrical insulating oils, small amounts of polar contaminants may change the properties and effectiveness of the oil. Interfacial tension can be used to indicate the level of these contaminants - In general, higher values indicate lower levels of contaminants. This test determines the interfacial tension of oils or liquids and may be used on new oils as a quality control tool and for service oils as an indication of the degree of deterioration. Using a tensiometer, as per the method, water, the platinum ring, and the sample oil are carefully placed in the apparatus so as to avoid mixing of the layers. The ring is slowly raised until it passes between the water and oil layers. The interfacial surface tension of the sample is determined and reported in mN/m or dynes/cm as required. Surface tension may be measured simply as the oil surface against air. The apparatus and procedure are similar. The value is referred to as "surface tension" rather than "interfacial surface tension". |

As the lubricant ages, the quantity of these components may change due to oxidation and degradation – typically acidic components increase and basic ones decrease. This test determines the acid number or base number of sample oil. Acid number is a measure of the quantity of acidic components, base number is measure of the quantity of basic components. This test is useful both for quality control of new oils and evaluation of service oils. The sample is weighed into the titration vessel, titration solvent and indicator are added and the mixture is swirled. The resulting color determines if the acid number or the base number is to be determined. If the acid number is to be determined, the mixture is titrated with potassium hydroxide. If the base number is to be determined, the mixture is titrated with hydrochloric acid. The endpoint is determined at the color change. If the strong acid number is to be determined, boiling water is added to the sample, the water layer is extracted and titrated with potassium hydroxide. Reported is the acid number, strong acid number or the base number in mg KOH per gram of sample. |

After the highest boiling fraction is removed, a residue remains that may be further processed to make asphalt, petroleum waxes and other materials. The acidity or basicity of the residue helps determine further processing steps. Likewise the acidity or basicity of the initial hydrocarbon mixture may be important for processing considerations. This test determines the acidity or basicity of hydrocarbon liquids and their distillation residues. Water is added to the sample, the mixture is vigorously shaken, centrifuged and the layers are separated. If the acidity is to be determined, methyl orange indicator is added. If the resulting solution is pink or red solution it is reported as “acidic”. If basicity is to be determined, phenolphthalein is added and if the resulting solution is pink or red, the material is reported as “basic”. To determine the acidity or basicity of the distillation residue, the hydrocarbon is distilled according to ASTM D86 or ASTM D1078, water is added to the resulting residue, and the mixture is shaken, centrifuged, analyzed as above and reported as “acidic” or “basic”.

Surface tension gives an indication of oil's metal-wetting ability. In general, the lower the surface tension of an oil, the greater its wetting ability. This test determines the surface tension of oils. The force that separates oil and water into two layers is interfacial tension. Interfacial tension may indicate how well oil will displace water to coat moist metal. Decreases in interfacial tension of service oil may indicate contamination or oxidation. Both surface tension and interfacial tension are measured using a du Nouy Tensiometer which has a platinum ring attached to a calibrated force mechanism. The ring is placed slightly below the surface of the oil (surface tension) or water (interfacial tension). The force on the ring is gradually increased until it breaks through the surface of the oil or water. The measured force and the sample density are used to calculate the surface or interfacial tension. The values are reported in dyne-cm. Please specify the desired temperature. |

Other particles, called deleterious particles, may also be present in new or used greases. Deleterious particles may arise from contaminated raw materials, poor storage leading to dimerization and agglomeration of additives, and processing errors in filtration, mixing, milling and temperature control. Deleterious particles in used greases typically come from the environment or arise from wear debris. These particles may be classified as "abrasive" or "non-abrasive". Abrasive particles may damage system components and cause premature bearing failure. This test determines the amount of abrasive deleterious particles in lubricating greases. It may be used as a quality control tool for new greases, to determine particle levels in service greases and to determine the level of abrasive particles in molybdenum disulfide and graphite raw materials. The grease is placed between two specially prepared plastic sheets. A standard load is applied and the sheets are rotated against one another in a prescribed arc.

This deformation may be temporary so that elastomer returns to its initial size and shape when the pressure is released, or it may be permanent. A permanent deformation, known as a "compression set", occurs when the compression force is so great that the elastomer will not return to its initial shape and size. O-rings used as seals in pumps, and other mechanical systems are compressed during normal use to prevent leaks in interfacing surfaces. If compression set occurs, the O-rings may no longer properly stop leaks. This test determines the compression set of elastomers exposed to hydraulic fluids. Note: Compression set measures permanent deformation of elastomers resulting from a squeezing force. Tensile strength refers to how much an elastomer can be stretched before snapping. Tensile strength describes what happens when an elastomer is pulled apart and compression set refers to what happens when it is pushed together. |

Lubricants that come in contact with O-rings may cause them to either shrink or swell, depending upon the chemical nature of the components in both. While a small amount of swelling enhances the O-rings ability to seal the system, excessive swelling or softening may result in leakage. Like-wise, shrinkage (a negative swell) may defeat the purpose of the O-ring entirely. This test determines the amount an O-ring swells or shrinks from lubricant exposure. Elastomer properties of interest are determined; the elastomer is placed in the lubricant for the test time at the test temperature. The properties are again determined and the percent swell, + or -, and change in hardness are reported. |

This test measures the oil separation under static (storage) conditions. It may be used to predict separation of oil from grease in containers stored at “room” temperature. It is not intended for use with greases softer than NLGI #1. The grease is weighed and placed upon a fine sieve screen in a Pressure Bleeding Test Cell. The test cell is brought to the test temperature (77°F (25°C)) and pressurized with air (0.25 psi, 1.7KPa) for 24 hours. Oil that separates is collected in a cup below the sieve and weighed. The percent of oil separated from the grease is calculated and reported. This test may be modified to run at elevated test temperatures and extended test times. Please let us know if you require a different time or temperature. Related tests: Petro-Lubricant Testing Labs offer several tests relating to oil separation. Static bleed refers to the separation of oil from grease during storage. Dynamic bleed is separation that results from movement of the grease, typically during use. Some bleed is necessary for the grease to function properly, but excessive bleed will compromise the effectiveness and life of the grease. Dynamic bleed may be increased by elevated temperatures, contamination, vibration, centrifugal forces and usage conditions.

This test is intended for use with castor oil, dehydrated castor oil and castor oil derivatives, fatty alcohols, mono and di-gycerides, hydroxysteric acid and other fatty samples. As an example of usefulness of this test, consider castor oil. Castor oil is a natural product derived from the castor bean. It is biodegradable, has excellent low temperature viscosity properties, does not react with rubber seals and has a large dielectric constant. Castor oil and its derivatives are therefore attractive for use in electrical capacitor oils, diesel fuels and lubricants - but has one major draw back - it has free hydroxyl groups that tend to react with isocyanates to form varnish, potentially clogging filters, valves and other system components. The hydroxyl number indicates if the castor oil or castor oil derivative is appropriate for the intended application. The sample is accurately weighed into two flasks. In the first flask, acylating agents are added and the sample is refluxed to allow acylation to take place. The second flask is subjected to the same conditions with no acylation agent added (this determines acid number). Both flasks are titrated with potassium hydroxide (KOH) The hydroxyl number is the mg KOH per gram of acylated sample (flask 1) minus the acid number (flask 2). Reported is the hydroxyl number in mg KOH per gram of sample. This method is considered obsolete by ASTM.

In new or reclaimed solvents, a pH variance outside the intended range may indicate a quality control problem. In used solvents, a pH variance may indicate a contamination or breakdown of the solvent. This test determines the pH of water extractions of halogenated organic solvents. In a separatory funnel, distilled water is added to the sample. The mixture is shaken, the layers are allowed to separate and the water layer is removed. The pH of the water layer may be determined either by adding a color indicator and matching the resulting color to a standard chart (Procedure A) or by direct measurement with a pH meter using a glass electrode (Procedure B). For Procedure A, the pH is reported to the nearest 0.25 pH unit. For Procedure B, the pH is reported to the nearest 0.1 pH unit. Please specify Procedure A or Procedure B. |

The lowest temperature at which this happens is the autoignition temperature (AIT). This test measures AITs up to 600ºC. There is a delay time between the sample reaching the AIT and combustion occurring. This is also determined in this test. A flask is heated to the test temperature. A small quantity of sample is injected into the flask and observed to see if ignition occurs. If it does not, the flask is cleaned and the process is repeated at a higher temperature.When autoignition is observed, the temperature, delay time and barometric pressure are reported. ASTM E659 is a more modern method for determining autoignition temperatures. It uses a diffiernt apparatus but gives similar results. |

If a steam turbine oil becomes oxidized, it may form varnish and sludge, potentially resulting in costly and unexpected shutdowns. The rate of oxidation normally increases with temperature, entrained air or water, and catalyzing metals such as copper. This test is used to estimate the oxidative stability of new steam turbine oils, and to predict the remaining life of service oils. The test oil is combined with water and a copper coil in the test cell. The test cell is placed in a pressure chamber, pressurized with oxygen and brought to the test temperature. The test chamber is rotated (to mimic the operation of a turbine) and the pressure is followed. The amount of time it takes for the pressure to drop 175kPa (25.4 psi) is reported. As a special service to our clients, Petro-Lubricant Testing Laboratories also describes the pressure drop as "inductive", meaning that the pressure dropped rapidly, or "non-inductive" meaning that the pressure dropped gradually (i.e. there was no sharp pressure drop).

Filiform corrosion refers to thread-like filaments of corrosion that typically form under thin organic coatings in a process accelerated in high humidity environments and slightly elevated temperatures. Filiform corrosion attacks a variety of metals including aluminum, magnesium, and steel. This test determines susceptibility of coated metal surfaces to the formation of filiform corrosion. This test offers three options. All three begin by scribing a coated metal panel and placing it in a salt spray chamber to start corrosion formation. Procedure A removes the panel from the salt spray chamber, rinses it and places it in a humidity cabinet for the remainder of the test. Procedure B removes the panel from the salt spray chamber and places it in a humidity cabinet, but panels are not rinsed between chambers. Procedure C is the same process as Procedure A, but with a high temperature humidity cabinet. Reported is a “pass” if no filiform corrosion is present, or as “fail” if corrosion is present and any observations.

High base numbers indicate high levels of basic components, low base numbers indicate low levels of basic components. A decrease in base number during oil usage may indicate additive depletion. This test determines the total (strong + weak) base number. In new oil, it may be used as a quality control tool. In used oil it may indicate the remaining useful life. The sample is weighed, titration solvent is added and the mixture is potentiometrically titrated with perchloric acid. The data is graphed, inflection points are determined, the blank is corrected for and the base number is determined. In cases where no inflection point can be determined, excessive potassium hydroxide is added, and the sample is back titrated with sodium acetate to determine the base number. The base number is reported in milligrams potassium hydroxide per gram of sample. Use this test for new oils, or for oils where both strong and weak base numbers are of interest.

Over time the levels of these preservatives may decrease and no longer protect the solvent from degradation. This test determines the acidity or basicity of halogenated solvents. It may be used both as a quality control tool for new solvents and to determine the condition of solvents in-service. There are three options for this test. Procedures A and B may be used when water-soluble pH materials are to be analyzed, procedure C analyzes the material without a water extraction. Procedure A and Procedure B both begin with adding water to the solvent, shaking the mixture well, removing the aqueous layer and titrating it with sodium hydroxide. In Procedure A the titration is monitored with a pH meter until a neutral pH is achieved. In Procedure B, a color (bromothymol blue) endpoint is achieved. For Procedure C, the sample is titrated to a bromothymol blue endpoint with no water extraction. Please select procedure A, B or C when requesting this test. |

This may decrease the fluid’s viscosity, bulk modulus and thermal conductivity and increase its cavitation, compressibility and rate of oxidation, potentially lessening its effectiveness and putting components at an increased risk of thermal, chemical and mechanical damage. Once air becomes entrained, it may dissipate out of the fluid. The more rapidly the air dissipates, the quicker the fluids properties will return to normal. This test measures the time it takes for a fluid to release entrained air at 25°C, 50°C or 75°C. The sample is heated to the test temperature and the density is determined.

For steel to achieve these properties, it must be heated to a high temperature and cooled at the appropriate rate - the cooling rate helps determine the hardness characteristics of the final product. To control the cooling rate, the hot fabricated metal is placed in a quenching fluid and allowed to cool. This test determines the cooling rate provided by the sample quenching fluid. It uses a Magnetic Quenchometer with a nickel ball which becomes magnetic below a certain temperature (354ºC - its Curie Point). The sample quenching fluid is placed in a stainless steel beaker in the quenchometer. A nickel ball is heated in a furnace to 885ºC, and dropped into the sample. The ball entering the fluid triggers a timer to start, and when the ball becomes magnetic, it turns the timer off. The time that elapses between the ball entering the fluid, and the oil reaching 354ºC, is reported as the quench time. This method is considered obsolete by ASTM. Note: This test is still offered by Petro-Lubricant Testing Laboratories as a service to our clients. |

Oil must start flowing on engine start-up, especially at low temperatures, and continue flowing during engine operation. The ability of an oil to start flowing at low temperatures is determined by its critical yield stress, which increases as temperature decreases. The ability of an oil to continue flowing is determined by its viscosity, which likewise increases as the temperature decreases. Under very cold conditions, the yield stress and/or the viscosity may increase to the point that oil will not continuously flow. The borderline pumping temperature is the lowest temperature at which an adequate flow of oil can be continuously supplied to the engine. It is defined as the maximum temperature (whichever is higher) of either the critical yield stress or the critical viscosity. This test uses a specially designed viscosity measuring apparatus which contains a temperature controlled mini-viscometer and a calibrated rotor-stator assembly, as described in the method. The sample is placed in the viscometer test cell assembly, heated for two hours and cooled slowly to the test temperature for the duration of the test. The yield stress is determined by applying force to the rotor shaft until the rotor begins to turn. The apparent viscosity is determined by multiplying the rotor speed times the test cell calibration factor. Reported is the test temperature, yield stress and viscosity.

It may catalyze oxidation, lessen anti-corrosion properties, cause precipitation of additives and change viscosities, dielectric constants, and resistivity values. It is therefore desirable to know the water content of a lubricant. This method measures water content of lubricants using the Karl Fischer reaction. The sample is combined with the appropriate reagents and the Karl Fisher (iodine-containing) reagent is titrated into the mixture. The percent water by weight is reported. Choosing a water content test: Petro-Lubricant Testing Laboratories offers several tests to determine water contents: Consider a coulometric method (ASTM D6304) when very low levels of water are predicted (10 to 25,000 ppm). Consider a potentiometric method (such as ASTM D4377 (this method)) when slightly higher levels of water are predicted (0.2 to 2%). Consider a distillation method (ASTM D95) for higher levels of water (up to 25%). Consider the centrifuge method (ASTM D1796) for even higher levels of water (up to 30%) or if both water and sediment are of interest: If volumetric information is desired, consider ASTM E203 "Water Using Volumetric Karl Fischer Titration". For volatile solvents consider ASTM D1364 "Water in Volatile Solvents (Fischer Reagent Titration Method)". |

The iodine number provides an indication of the number of double bonds - low iodine numbers indicate a small number of double bonds, large iodine numbers indicate large numbers of double bonds. It has also been found that the Iodine Value may be used to predict the compatibility of oils to elastomers because the degree of saturation of the molecule indicates its tendency to de-polymerize the rubber structure. This test determines the iodine number using a titration with a visible blue endpoint. A specified weight of sample is placed in a flask, iodine mono-chloride reagent is added and the mixture is given time to react. Potassium iodide and water are then added.

This may result in an increase in engine wear and fuel and oil consumption. Evaporative losses may also increase emissions and are therefore regulated in some localities. This test determines the evaporative loss in lubricating oils by comparing the mass decrease of the sample with the mass decrease of a standard oil. It is appropriate for both base stocks and fully formulated oils. The test is faster, requires a smaller sample size and is often more reproducible than other evaporative loss methods, including the traditional Noack Volatility test ASTM D5800 . A standard reference oil is accurately weighed, placed in the TGA (a microbalance with computer capabilities to follow mass loss) under a constant stream of dried air, and heated to the test temperature. The mass of the standard oil is followed until a predetermined percentage of the oil mass is lost (as determined by ASTM D5800). The time it takes the standard oil to lose this weight percentage is the Noack Time. The sample oil is then likewise weighed and heated under the constant stream of air. The percentage of mass lost at the Noack Time is reported as percent evaporative loss. |

This test is intended to predict the amount of a lubricating oil that will biodegrade in a specified period of time, typically 28 days. Traditional tests to predict biodegradability include ASTM D5864, ASTM D6139 and ASTM D6731. All three of these tests add microorganisms to the lubricant and follow the production of carbon dioxide as the lubricant breaks down. The amount of CO2 produced is used to calculate the amount of sample that has biodegraded. These tests take a month to run and have the inherent difficulties and variability of microorganism use. (Please note: Petro-Lubricant Testing Laboratories does not offer these microorganism tests). The bio-kinetic model test offered by Petro-Lubricant Testing Laboratories does not involve microorganisms. It uses known biodegradation rates of typical base lubricants classified using chromatographic methods to predict the amount of sample that will biodegrade in 28 days. The sample is chromatographically separated into four fractions based on polarity. Biodegradable oil components, typically polyalphaolefins and esters, elute in the first and third fractions. Using the percentage of oil in these fractions, with known biodegradation rates, the percent of oil predicted to biodegrade in 28 days is calculated and reported. Note: This test is intended for oils. For grease samples, we will first separate the base oil from the thickener using a Koppers Extraction (ASTM D4425), and then analyze the base oil for biodegradabiltiy. Extracted oil may not give results equivalent to neat base oil because of oil soluble components in the extracted portion not otherwise present in the neat base stock.

This test is intended for use with castor oil, dehydrated castor oil and castor oil derivatives, fatty alcohols, mono and di-gycerides, hydroxysteric acid and other fatty samples. As an example of the usefulness of this test, consider castor oil. Castor oil is a natural product derived from the castor bean. It is biodegradable, has excellent low temperature viscosity properties, does not react with rubber seals and has a large dielectric constant. Castor oil and its derivatives are therefore attractive for use in electrical capacitor oils, diesel fuels and lubricants - but has one major draw back - it has free hydroxyl groups that tend to react with isocyanates to form varnish, potentially clogging filters, valves and other system components. The hydroxyl number indicates if the castor oil or castor oil derivative is appropriate for the intended application. The sample is accurately weighed into two flasks. In the first flask, acetylating agents are added and the sample is refluxed to allow acylation to take place. The second flask is subjected to the same conditions with no acylation agent added (this determines acid number). Both flasks are titrated with potassium hydroxide (KOH).

If the light ends evaporate during use, it may shorten lubricant life and change viscosity. This test determines evaporative loss of lubricants at elevated temperatures. The sample is weighed and placed in the thermogravimetric analyzer (microbalance in a heat-controlled oven with a constant gas purge). It is heated to the test temperature for the test time (Procedure A) or until a predetermined mass loss is observed (procedure B). Reported is the percent loss-on-drying (Procedure A) or time (Procedure B). Please specify temperature. NOTE: loss-on-drying vs. water content – This method determines the total level of water plus other light ends in a sample. Because water in a lubricant may decrease its useful life, water content alone is often of interest. Please see our discussion under ASTM D4377 for water content methods. For evaporative loss of all light ends, choose either a hot oil bath method (ASTM D972, FTM 350) or a TGA method (ASTM E1868 or ASTM E1131). TGA methods are typically run at higher temperatures and for shorter times than hot oil bath methods. When selecting between ASTM E1868 or ASTM E1131 (TGA methods), consider the specification requirement - either method allows you to select the temperature and time of the test. #loss-on-drying #astm #E1868 #TGA #Thermogravimetric #Evaporative |

In a standard grease worker, the grease is pushed back and forth through a metal plate with holes. The size of the holes determines the amount of shear stress on the sample, with smaller holes producing larger stresses. The plates in this method have smaller holes than the plates in ASTM D217, causing larger shear stresses, and creating more severe conditions to challenge the grease to maintain a proper consistency. The final penetration value is reported. |

To operate with minimal wear and a smooth rotation, gears must be properly lubricated - the chosen lubricant should have the appropriate load carrying capacity, wear resistance, oxidative stability and lubricity. Lubricant problems such as dirt contamination, acid formation, additive depletion and polymer shear may ultimately lead to machine failure. This method uses a gear wear testing apparatus to determine the relative lubricity of greases. One weighed brass gear and one steel gear are mounted in a gear wear testing apparatus and coated with the test grease. A load is applied, and after a break in period, the apparatus is run for specified number of cycles. The brass gear is removed, cleaned, dried and reweighed. Reported is the average weight loss per 1000 cycles for a 6000-cycle run with 5-pound load and a 3000-cycle run with a 10-pound load. This is one of the only bench scale gear tests available.

The flammability of these lubricants gives an indication of safe usage ranges. This test may be used to (1) determine the flammability of a lubricant both before and after solvent evaporation or (2) as a screening/specification test for some military specifications, such as those used for hydraulic fluids. To assess the flammability before solvent evaporation, pipe cleaners are soaked in the sample and then repeatedly drawn over a flame until a self-sustained burn appears. The number of passes is reported. To assess the flammability after solvent evaporation, the sample is placed in a petri dish in a drying oven for the time and temperature ( specified in the method, pipe cleaners are soaked in the remaining sample and then repeatedly drawn over a flame at regular intervals until a self-sustained burn appears. The number of passes it takes for a self-sustained burn to appear is reported.

But in many real world applications, there is moisture in the system prior to lubrication, such as when a system containing hard to reach crevices needs to be re-lubricated. This test is intended to measure rust inhibition properties in (1) systems where new oil is being applied to areas where moisture is already present (2) systems where the lubricant mixes with water prior to reaching the moist metal to be protected. Steel panels are sand blasted and cleaned. They are then divided into two groups. The first group is dipped into water, then the test oil. The second group is dipped into water and then the test oil which has been emulsified with water. Both sets are put in a constant humidity chamber for one hour and then visually evaluated. The presence of rust or abnormal surface appearances are reported. |

If an elastomer absorbs the oil it may swell - a small amount of swelling is allowable and may help to avoid lubricant leakage; an excessive amount of swelling or any shrinkage may result in lubricant leakage and is detrimental. Swelling is usually accompanied by changes in the mechanical and physical properties of the elastomer: tensile strength, elongation, and hardness. These properties are also important in the elastomer’s ability to maintain a proper oil seal. This test determines the amount that an elastomer swells or shrinks when exposed to a test lubricant. Also determined are the tensile strength, hardness, and elongation changes of the elastomer due to exposure to the oil. The original tensile strength, volume and hardness of the elastomer are determined. The elastomer is submerged in the lubricant and brought to the test temperature for the test time. The tensile strength, volume and hardness are determined after exposure. Reported are the changes in tensile strength, hardness, and volume of the elastomer. Petro-Lube offers several tests to determine the swell of elastomers. Selecting the best method should be based on the elastomer of interest and specification of interest. Consider this test (FTM 3433) for silicone rubber in Aircraft applications. Consider ASTM D1414 for ‘O’ rings. Consider AAR M-914 for elastomers used in brake cylinders. Consider FTM-3603 for NBR-L (AMS3217/2D) and FTM 3604 for NBR-H (AMS3217/1C) or FKM (AMS3217/4C).

If the oil forms varnish or coke on the metal surface, it may eventually build up a difficult-to-remove coating, potentially clogging pipes, impeding engine performance or contaminating oil. This test determines the coking tendency of an oil by splashing it onto hot metal surfaces at high temperatures. An aluminum panel is polished, placed in the panel coker apparatus where it is heated and repeatedly splashed with the test oil. After a specified time period, the amount of varnish and coke deposited on the panel is determined and reported. The typical test is run at 600°F for 8 hours on an aluminum panel.

During use, the synthetic rubbers may be exposed to lubricating oils or greases. If the lubricant is absorbed, it may cause the synthetic rubber to swell, aiding in the prevention of leaks. If a large amount of lubricant is absorbed and the rubber swells excessively, the seal may soften, weaken and break. The lubricant might also cause the synthetic rubber to shrink, defeating the purpose of the seal. This test determines the amount of swelling (or shrinking) that takes place in a synthetic rubber exposed to lubricants. The volume is determined for each synthetic rubber coupon. The coupons are then immersed in the test grease or oil and stored at the test temperature for the test time. The coupons are then removed, cleaned and the volume is again determined. Reported is the average percentage change in the volume. Optionally, hardness before and after exposure may also be made and reported.

If the fuel dissolves or deteriorates the grease, the system may no longer be properly lubricated. This test first determines the amount of grease that dissolves in a given amount of solvent and then visually determines changes in the grease in the presence of solvent. To determine the amount of grease that dissolves in the test fluid: A known quantity of test grease is placed in a centrifuge tube, solvent is added and the tube is shaken until the grease is evenly dispersed in the solvent. The mixture is centrifuged until two layers are completely separated and the upper layer is clear. An aliquot of the clear fluid is removed, the fluid is evaporated, the residue weight is determined. The percent of the sample dissolved in the solvent is reported. To visually determine deterioration of grease in solvent: a strip of aluminum is coated with the test grease, and half immersed in the solvent for several hours. The strip is removed, dipped in fresh solvent and examined for defects including blistering, cracking and loss of adhesion. It is then dried for 24 hours and re-examined for defects. The results of both visual observations (before and after drying) are reported. |

Contamination of these fluids, from environmental debris, microbial growth, wear, fluid degradation or other sources, may decrease system efficiency, damage components and potentially cause system failure. The ISO Cleanliness Code is a standardized system developed to give a comparative value of the number of particles in a fluid. In this method, the concentration of particles in 3 size categories (≥ 4 µm, ≥ 6 µm and ≥14 µm) is determined and used to establish the ISO Cleanliness Code rating. Using an Automatic Optical Particle Counter as per the method, the number of particles in each size category is determined and reported along with the ISO Cleanliness Code. Related tests offered by Petro-Lube: We offer optical microscopy tests (ARP 598B, WQTM 611, ASTM F312, FTM 3013, FTM-3009) and Automatic Optical Particle Counting (ISO 4406, ASTM D6786, FTM 3012, SAE J1165, SAE 749) to determine the cleanliness of fluids. Automatic optical particle counting is the best choice for most samples – it usually yields accurate results and gives an in-depth breakdown of particle sizes in the sample. Optical microscopy helps to identify the types of particles in cases of high automatic particle counts. If you are interested in the total volume of sediment consider ASTM D2273, FTM 3101 or ASTM D91. For the total mass of particles by filtration, consider ASTM D4898. We offer three types of automatic particle counting tests: (1) ISO 4406, presently the most commonly used code to express the cleanliness of hydraulic fluids. (2) the ISO Solid Contaminant Code (SAE J1165) and (3) the National Aerospace Standard Code (NAS 1638).

Torque is the force required to turn a bearing - bearings operated at low temperatures usually require both a higher starting torque and a higher running torque than bearings operated at higher temperatures. This test determines the starting and running torque of open ball bearings at very low temperatures (-20°C). Using the custom apparatus specified in the method, a ball bearing is filled with grease, chilled to the test temperature and given time to equilibrate. The inner ring is rotated at one revolution per minute and the resulting force on the outer ring is measured. Reported are the starting torque, the torque at ten minutes running time and the torque at one hour running time.

These systems pressurize grease, deliver it to the needed sites and then vent the system to relieve pressure. The proper grease is essential for the system to function correctly. The grease needs to flow under the applied pressure at the temperature of the system and recover with venting so that it can be pressurized again. This test uses a Lincoln Ventmeter to measure ventability of grease under conditions similar to those used in industrial systems The Lincoln Ventmeter incorporates a 25-foot long, 1/4 inch diameter pipe with a pump to pressurize the grease and a valve to vent the grease. The apparatus is filled with grease and brought to the required test temperature. The system is stabilized at 1800 psi and then vented. After 30 seconds the residual pressure is read and reported. In general, greases with readings of less than 400psi vent pressures are typically acceptable for use in automatic lubrication systems. |

Particles in hydraulic fluids may decrease system efficiency - small particles may cause silting, clog filters and generate excessive heat. Larger particles may cause wear of system components. NAS 1638 is a system that assigns a cleanliness rating to hydraulic fluids. The system is based on a scale from 00 to 12 with 00 being a very clean fluid, and 12 being a highly contaminated one. To determine the NAS 1638 rating, an automatic optical particle counter is used to determine the number of particles per 100 ml sample in 5 size classes: 5µ to 15µ, 15µ to 25µ, 25µ to 50µ, 50µ to 100µ and >100µ. Using this data an NAS class number is assigned. Reported is the number of particles in each size category and the NAS 1638 Class number.

This test uses a tapered roller bearing, Timken #LM-11949/11910, with the loading and measuring systems of the ASTM D2266 Four Ball Wear tester. The lubricated bearing is run under prescribed load, speed, and temperature conditions. The resulting torque against the bearing is related to the drag of the lubricant on the rolling elements. This friction 'coefficient' is a relative measure of the smoothness to be expected between different lubricants running under the same conditions. Contact us directly for more information. |

Heat transfer fluids are designed to absorb and dissipate heat before it causes problems. The amount of thermal energy that an oil can absorb is its specific heat capacity. An oil with a low specific heat capacity will heat up very quickly and absorb little thermal energy. A fluid with a high specific heat capacity will absorb a large quantity of thermal energy. Normally fluids with high specific heat capacities are best for heat transfer applications. This test determines specific heat capacities. The sample is accurately weighed in the test pan and heated at a controlled rate using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The heat flow is followed, and compared to the heat flow of a standard sapphire crystal heated at the same controlled rate. The specific heat capacity is reported in both Joules gram-1 K-1 and calories gram-1 ºC-1. Please specify the temperatures of interest when requesting this test.

These changes may alter the properties of the grease. This test determines the change of penetration values of a grease exposed to high temperatures for extended periods of time under static conditions. An unworked penetration is performed on the test grease (ASTM D1403). The grease is then carefully placed in a wire gauze cone so as to eliminate any air pockets. The cone is placed over a beaker and the assembly is brought to the test temperature for the test time. A second penetration is then determined. The remaining sample is placed back in the oven and the process is repeated giving a third penetration value. Reported are the all three penetration values. The changes observed in penetration are a relative indicator of heat stability. Related tests: ASTM D403, ASTM D217, ASTM D6185 |

4798 | 0 | SAE 749 | SAE-749 | Particulate Contamination | 100 ml | SAE 749 Contamination of Hydraulic FluidThe level of solid particles in hydraulic fluids may give an indication of fluid and system health. In newly packaged fluids, the number of particles is a measure of product quality. This method determines the level of particulate contamination in hydraulic fluids using a classification system from 0 to 6 which corresponds to ISO 4406 code from 12/9 to 18/15. The fluid is placed in a laser particle counter and the quantity and size of particles in the fluid are determined and reported. Note : ISO 4406 gives a greater amount of useful data than SAE 749 and is usually the preferred method.

4800 | 0 | SAE ARP 598B | SAE-ARP-598B | Particle Count | 200 ml | SAE ARP 598B The Determination of Particulate Contamination in Liquids by the Particle Count MethodParticles in lubrication fluids may clog filters, slow down lubricant flow and erode system components. This is a microscopic method to determine the number of particles in a liquid lubricant sample. The sample is well mixed and filtered as per the method. The filter paper is examined under a microscope. The number of particles per 100 ml is determined and reported in five size categories: (5 µ to 15 µ, 16 µ to 25 µ, 26 µ to 50 µ, 51µ to 100 µ and over 100 µ). Note: We recommend choosing an automatic optical particle counting method (ISO 4406, ASTM D6786, FTM 3012, SAE 749,) over microscopic examination methods such as this one. The automatic methods tend to be quicker and more accurate. Microscopic methods should accompany automatic optical methods in cases where unexpected high particle counts are obtained to help identify the type of contamination, such as the presence of fibers or flocculation of additives.

4801 | 0 | SAE J1165 | SAE-J1165 | ISO Cleanliness Code, ISO Solid Contaminant Code | 100 ml | SAE J1165 Reporting Cleanliness Levels of Hydraulic FluidsBulldozers, motor vehicle braking systems, mechanical lifts and other machinery are frequently powered by hydraulic systems composed of sensitive pistons, pumps, seals and valves. If the hydraulic fluid becomes contaminated with particles from the atmosphere, fluid degradation, microorganisms, wear debris or other sources, it may lead to expensive system damage or failure. This method determines the ISO Solid Contaminant Code for the hydraulic fluid – a two number code calculated from the concentration of particles >5 µm and >15µm. The first number is often an indication of the silting condition of the fluid and the second number is often an indication of amount of wear debris. The sample is analyzed using an automatic optical particle counter. Reported is the number of particles in 100 ml sample >5µm and >15µm, and the two digit ISO Solid Contaminant Code. This method is considered obsolete by SAE. It has been replaced by ISO 4406. This test is still offered by Petro-Lubricant Testing Laboratories as a service to our clients.

Contamination may arise from internal/manufacturing sources (fluid degradation, wear debris, rubber or welding debris) or external sources (dust, water vapor, contaminated fluid addition). To keep systems running optimally, fluids should have low particulate levels. This is a BASF test method to determine the size and numbers of particulates in hydraulic fluids. The sample hydraulic fluid is filtered. The filter paper is placed under a microscope and examined for particles of various sizes. The ISO Solid Particulate Code number of particles greater than 5 micrometers and particles greater than 15 micrometers are reported. |
