1、Designation:D 1367 96(Reapproved 2001)e1An American National StandardStandard Test Method forLubricating Qualities of Graphites1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 1367;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revisio
2、n,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.e1NOTEAdded Section 2 editorially in April 2006.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers evaluation of the abrasiveproperties
3、 of graphites that are used for lubricating purposes.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values stated in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibi
4、lity of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Adjuncts:Detailed Drawings of Graphite Lubricant Tester23.Summary of Test Method3.1 A representative sample o
5、f the graphite is suspended inmineral oil,and the mixture containing 15%by weight ofgraphite is circulated through a ball bearing by means of animpeller and duct assembly.The bearing shaft is driven at 1750rpm for a period of 2 h.The loss in weight of the bearing isdetermined.4.Significance and Use4
6、.1 This test method can be used to determine the relativeabrasiveness of graphites under the test conditions,and if thetest conditions are changed,the relative ratings may bedifferent.No correlation has been established between this testmethod and field service.5.Apparatus5.1 Graphite Lubricant Test
7、er,2as illustrated in Fig.1,consisting of the following:5.1.1 Bearing Holder Assembly,2as shown in Fig.2.Itconsists of a shaft on which the bearing is mounted,a propellerat the end of the shaft to maintain the graphite in uniformsuspension,and a duct to direct the flow of fluid through thebearing.Th
8、e duct,in two sections,is arranged in the form of acylinder around the bearing.The upper section of the cylinder,containing three port holes,is permanently mounted.The lowersection,which is removable,widens to a bell shape around thepropeller.5.1.2 Motor,capable of driving the test bearing at 1750 6
9、50 rpm,and equipped with a coupling which may readily bedetached from the shaft described in 5.1.1.5.1.3 Griffn Beaker,400-mL,75 mm in diameter,or a metalcontainer of similar dimensions.5.1.4 Stand,designed to support the equipment referred toin 5.1.1,5.1.2,and 5.1.3 in a rigid vertical position.1Th

15、 period of12h.Allow to cool in a desiccator.NOTE1Bearings as-received should be coated with a low-viscosityrust-preventive oil.To ensure receiving bearings that are slushed with thistype of material,orders may be placed directly with the manufacturer withthe following stipulation:“To be slushed with
16、 low-viscosity rust-preventive oil.”8.Procedure8.1 After the dry bearing has been brought to room tem-perature in a desiccator,weigh it to the nearest 0.1 mg.Repeatthe cleaning and drying operations as described in Section 7until a constant weight is obtained.8.2 Place the bearing in the upper end of the bell,so that theouter ring is seated firmly.Screw the bell tightly by finger onthe cylindrical duct,thereby locking the bearing outer ring inplace.Place the bushing on the shaft and finger screw
