7、ogy3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 air release time,nthe number of minutes needed forair entrained in the oil to reduce in volume to 0.2%under theconditions of this test and at the specified temperature.4.Summary of Test Method4.1 Compressed air is blown through the test oil
8、,which hasbeen heated to a temperature of 25 C,50 C,or 75 C.Afterthe air flow is stopped,the time required for the air entrainedin the oil to reduce in volume to 0.2%is recorded as the airrelease time.NOTE2By agreement between the customer and the laboratory,the oilmay be heated at other temperature
9、s.However,the precision at thesedifferent temperatures is not known at present.5.Significance and Use5.1 Agitation of lubricating oil with air in equipment,suchas bearings,couplings,gears,pumps,and oil return lines,mayproduce a dispersion of finely divided air bubbles in the oil.Ifthe residence time
10、 in the reservoir is too short to allow the airbubbles to rise to the oil surface,a mixture of air and oil willcirculate through the lubricating oil system.This may result inan inability to maintain oil pressure(particularly with centrifu-gal pumps),incomplete oil films in bearings and gears,andpoor
11、 hydraulic system performance or failure.5.2 This test method measures the time for the entrained aircontent to fall to the relatively low value of 0.2%volumeunder a standardized set of test conditions and hence permitsthe comparison of the ability of oils to separate entrained airunder conditions w
12、here a separation time is available.Thesignificance of this test method has not been fully established.However,entrained air can cause sponginess and lack ofsensitivity of the control of turbine and hydraulic systems.This1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum P
