2. Scope of application and non-applicability

3. Method principle

In a heatable gearbox equipped with two spur gears, one test bearing, and a copper catalyst, add the lubricating oil sample to be tested. When the oil is heated to the specified temperature, operate the gears under predetermined load and speed conditions 50h. Air is introduced into the lubricating oil at a certain rate, and the oil temperature is controlled throughout the test. After the test, the parameters for evaluating the degree of oil deterioration include oil viscosity increase, insoluble formation in the used oil, and gear cleanliness. (Chapter 4 Method summary)

9. Qualitative and quantitative and calculation formulas

14.1 Calculation of viscosity increase

Use the initial viscosity and final viscosity of the test oil to calculate the viscosity increase by formula (2).

$$\Delta_v = \frac{V_F - V_I}{V_I} \times 100$$

Where:

14.2 Calculation of mass loss percentage of copper strip catalyst

Use formula (3) to calculate the mass loss percentage of the copper strip catalyst:

$$W_s = \frac{W_I - W_F}{W_I} \times 100$$

Where:

14.3 Conversion of Test Results

Convert the test results of reference oils and non-reference oils using the following parameters:

Parameter Conversion
Viscosity increase, % ln(Δv)
EOT pentane insolubles, % (mass fraction) ln(pentane)
EOT toluene insolubles, % (mass fraction) ln(toluene)
Average carbon deposit and varnish ln(CV/(10-CV))
Average sludge -ln(10-sludge)

Note: EOT— indicates the end of the test; ln— natural logarithm; CV— carbon deposit and varnish rating value.

14.4 Correction of non-reference oil results shall be carried out according to the formulas in Appendix D, and correction for bench severity shall be carried out according to the formulas in Appendix E.

14.5 Determination of Test Validity

$$OUT = \frac{M_i}{0.5R \cdot T_i} \times 100$$

Where:

Note: These statistics are based on TMC reference oils 131-3, 131-4, 143 and 148, where: $S_r$—repeatability standard deviation; $r$—repeatability; $S_R$—reproducibility standard deviation; $R$—reproducibility.

16.2 Bias

Bias is determined by an accepted stable reference oil result. When a valid bias is determined, strict adjustment of non-reference oil test results is permitted (see Appendix D and Appendix E).
