5. TEST METHODS — PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS a
5.1 WATER STABILITY
5.1.1 SCOPE, This test is conducted to determine the ability of the oil to adequately
Perform when the hydrostatic system is subjected to heavy load conditions with and
without water contamination
5.1.2 APPARATUS. A Sundstrand hydrostatic pump and motor which is powered |
by an electric motor is used. The unit is run at constant load conditions utilizing a high
pressure relief valve in the circuit. Several pressure and temperature readouts are re-
quired. A flowmeter is required to monitor the flow characteristic, Periodic flow readings
and oil samples are required at established intervals. Oil sample analysis includes water
content in percent, TAN (Total Acid No.), atomic absorption, particle count and viscosity
change (shear). Pre-test and post-test dimensional checks of various components are
required.
5.1.3. TEST PROCEDURE. The hydrostatic system is set up to operate under constant
load conditions monitoring the various parameters at established intervals. An initial
50 hour run without water is required with periodic sampling at 0, 5, 25 and 50 hours.
Following inspection of parts and reassembly, a known quantity of water is added to the
oil; an additional 200 hour run is required (following addition of water) with periodic
sampling at 50, 55, 75, 100, 125, 200 and 250 total hours.
5.1.4 REPORT. Report the data taken at established intervals along with inspection
results. Compare to the results with John Deere reference oil.
