ASTM D7043 Standard Test Method for Indicating Wear Characteristics of Non-Petroleum and Petroleum Hydraulic Fluids in a Constant Volume Vane Pump
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers a constant volume vane pump test procedure operated at 1200 r/min and 13.8 MPa.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.2.1 Exception - There are no SI equivalents for the inch fasteners and inch O-rings that are used in the apparatus in this test method.
1.2.2 Exception - In some cases English pressure values are given in parentheses as a safety measure.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
