  • DEMULSIBILITY CHARACTERISTICS OF LUBRICATING OILS: D2711 DEMULSIBILITY CHARACTERISTICS OF LUBRICATING OILS: D2711EXPLANATIONThis test method provides a guide for determining the demulsibility characteristics of lubricating oils that are prone to water contamination and that may encounter the turbulence of pumping and circulation capable of producing water-in-oil ...
  • CRYSTALLINE SIZE OF CALCINED PETROLEUM COKE BY X-RAY DIFFRACTION: D5187 CRYSTALLINE SIZE OF CALCINED PETROLEUM COKE BY X-RAY DIFFRACTION: D5187EXPLANATIONCrystallinity of petroleum coke is a general measure of quality affecting suitability for end use and is a function of the heat treatment. The crystallite thickness is used to determine the extent of such heat treatment, ...
  • CORROSION-PREVENTIVE PROPERTIES OF LUBRICATING GREASES (EMCOR TEST): D6138 CORROSION-PREVENTIVE PROPERTIES OF LUBRICATING GREASES (EMCOR TEST): D6138EXPLANATIONThis test method is used to assess the ability of grease to prevent corrosion in rolling bearings operated in the presence of distilled water, NaCl solution, or synthetic sea water. It uses grease-lubricated ball bearings ...
  • CORROSION-PREVENTING PROPERTIES OF LUBRICATING GREASES: D5969 CORROSION-PREVENTING PROPERTIES OF LUBRICATING GREASES: D5969EXPLANATIONThis test method differentiates the relative corrosion-preventive capabilities of lubricating greases under the test conditions using grease lubricated tapered roller bearings exposed to various concentrations of dilute synthetic ...
  • CORROSION PREVENTIVE PROPERTIES OF LUBRICATING GREASES: D1743 CORROSION PREVENTIVE PROPERTIES OF LUBRICATING GREASES: D1743EXPLANATIONThis test method differentiates the relative corrosion-preventing properties of lubricating greases using grease-lubricated tapered roller bearings stored under wet conditions. This test method is based on CRC Technique L 41 that ...
  • CORROSIVENESS OF LUBRICATING FLUID TO BIMETALLIC COUPLE: D6547 CORROSIVENESS OF LUBRICATING FLUID TO BIMETALLIC COUPLE: D6547EXPLANATIONCorrosiveness of a fluid to a bimetallic couple is one of the properties used to evaluate hydraulic or lubricating fluids. It is an indicator of the compatibility of a fluid with a brass on steel galvanic couple at ambient temperature ...
  • ASTM D1544 test method for color of transparent liquids (Gardner color scale) ASTM D1544 test method for color of transparent liquids (Gardner color scale)6. Report6.1 Report the color as the number of the standard most closely matching the specimen. If more precise measurements are needed, report as either matching a standard or lighter or darker. Thus, between colors 5 and 6, ...
  • ASTM D1544 test method for color of transparent liquids (Gardner color scale) ASTM D1544 test method for color of transparent liquids (Gardner color scale)4. Apparatus4.1 Glass Standards, 18, numbered separately, and having the color characteristics given in Table 1. The color shall be produced by the glass components only. Some glass standards in use today do not conform to the ...
  • ASTM D1544 test method for color of transparent liquids (Gardner color scale) ASTM D1544 test method for color of transparent liquids (Gardner color scale)1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the color of transparent liquids by means of comparison with arbitrarily numbered glass standards.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, ...
  • CORROSION PREVENTIVE PROPERTIES CORROSIVENESS AND OXIDATION STABILITY OF OILS: D CORROSION PREVENTIVE PROPERTIES CORROSIVENESS AND OXIDATION STABILITY OF OILS: D4636EXPLANATIONThis test method is a combination of Federal Test Methods 5307.2 and 5308.7. It is used to test hydraulic oils, aircraft turbine engine lubricants, and other highly refined oils to determine their resistance ...
