9、rip is totally immersed in a sampleof grease and heated in an oven or liquid bath at a specifiedtemperature for a definite period of time.Commonly usedconditions are 100 6 1C(212 6 2F)for 24 h 6 5 min.At theend of this heating period,the strip is removed,washed,andcompared with the Copper Strip Corr
10、osion Standard.5.Significance and Use5.1 This test method measures the tendency of lubricatinggrease to corrode copper under specific static conditions.Itmay be of some value in predicting possible chemical attack onlubricated parts,such as bearings that contain copper or copperalloys.Such corrosion
11、,for example,can cause prematurebearing failures.However,no correlations with actual fieldservice,most of which are under dynamic conditions,havebeen established.It does not measure either the ability of thelubricant to inhibit copper corrosion caused by factors otherthan the lubricant itself nor do
12、es it measure the stability of thegrease in the presence of copper.NOTE1Because this test method requires the ability to determinesubtle differences in color of copper strips,persons with certain types ofcolor blindness may find it difficult to accurately comparre a test strip tothe Copper Strip Cor
