2、ear of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1This test method covers the oxidation stability oflubricants by thin-film oxygen uptake(TFOUT)Catalyst B.This test m
3、ethod evaluates the oxidation stability of petroleumproducts,and it was originally developed as a screening test toindicate whether a given re-refined base stock could beformulated for use as automotive engine oil3(see Test MethodD4742).The test is run at 160 C in a pressure vessel underoxygen press
4、ure,and the sample contains a metal catalystpackage,a fuel catalyst,and water to partially simulate oilconditions in an operating engine.In addition,the test methodhas since been found broadly useful as an oxidation test ofpetroleum products.41.2 The applicable range of the induction time is from a
5、fewminutes up to several hundred minutes or more.However,therange of induction times used for developing the precisionstatements in this test method was from 40 min to 280 min.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1
6、.3.1 ExceptionPressure units are provided in psig,anddimensions are provided in inches in AnnexA1 and AnnexA2,because these are the industry accepted standard and theapparatus is built according to the figures shown.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,assoc
