1、Designation:D 5620 94(Reapproved 2004)An American National StandardStandard Test Method forEvaluating Thin Film Fluid Lubricants in a Drain and DryMode Using a Pin and Vee Block Test Machine1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5620;the number immediately following the designation i
2、ndicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of
3、the endur-ance(wear)life and load carrying capacity of thin film fluidlubricants that are intended to operate after a single applicationand after excess material has drained from the contact area ofsliding metal to metal surfaces,and which operates in whatfunctionally is a drain and dry mode with no
