6、test method involves the operation of a standardpassenger car engine on a dynamometer stand under constantspeed,load,and coolant temperature conditions for a total of700 h.The performance of the coolant is judged by examina-tion of(1)coolant samples,(2)metal corrosion specimens,and(3)cooling system
7、components.4.Significance and Use4.1 This test method provides a laboratory technique ca-pable of reproducing the complex environmental stresses acoolant encounters under actual engine operating conditions.The test method provides improved discrimination over glass-ware and simulated service tests a
8、nd improved correlation withfield service.Although the test method is particularly valuablefor developing coolants for increased service requirements,itremains that field testing is necessary to evaluate coolantperformance completely.5.Apparatus5.1 Test Engine The test engine shall be a volume pro-d
9、uction passenger car engine of cast iron or aluminum con-struction.Engine speed and brake horsepower should becalculated and adjusted to be equivalent to a 96.5 km/h(60mph)level road load.Aluminum accessories,such as coolantpump and timing chain cover,are optional.The engine shall beequipped with a
10、matching radiator and pressure cap.A coolantoverflow reservoir and closed-system pressure cap areoptional,except when specified by the manufacturer.Assemblethe test components to provide a complete cooling system.Therelative positioning of the radiator and engine should duplicate,as closely as pract
11、icable,the mounting in the automobile withthe fan omitted.All radiator hose lengths should be held to aminimum.The radiator shall be cooled by forced air.5.2 Instrumentation and Control(See Fig.1)Run theengine on a test stand coupled to an engine dynamometer withappropriate accessories for control o
