Evaluation of Gas Turbine Engine Lubricant Compatibility with Elastomer O-Rings

2022-08-24
CURRENT
ARP6179
This test method provides procedures for exposing specimens of elastomer materials (AS 568-214 size O-rings) representative of those used in gas turbine engines to lubricants or reference fluids under defined time and temperature conditions. This test includes both suspended and compressed O-rings. Resultant changes in the O-ring’s physical properties (tensile strength, elongation, hardness, mass, volume, and compression set) are measured to determine the amount of deterioration of the elastomer.

Compatibility of Turbine Lubricating Oils

2023-05-01
CURRENT
ARP7120
This method is used for determining the compatibility of a candidate lubricant with specific reference lubricants. The reference lubricants to be used will typically be mandated by the owner of the product specification against which the candidate lubricant is being compared. This method is split into two procedures (Procedure A and Procedure B) with a summary of each procedure contained in Section 4.

MPR Micropitting Test Method

2023-05-30
CURRENT
ARP6991
This method is designed to evaluate the micropitting performance of currently available and future aviation turbine oil formulations. Drawing on previously performed tests documented in AIR6989, the method comprises of three rings rotating against a rotating central roller configuration using the standard, commercially available PCS Instruments Micropitting Rig (MPR). A test profile has been developed between industry and academia that relies on standard, commercially available test specimens.

Evaluation of Gas Turbine Engine Lubricant Compatibility with Elastomer Slabs - Long Duration Test

2018-12-10
CURRENT
ARP6917
This test method provides procedures for exposing specimens of elastomer material (slab form) representative to those used in gas turbine engines to aviation lubricants under extended duration and engine relevant thermal conditions. For AS5780 requirements the time is at least 1800 hours and temperatures are 100 °C to 160 °C. Positive volume change is an indication of specimen swell and subsequent negative volume change is an indication of specimen deterioration, both properties are important in the evaluation of the compatibility of the lubricant with elastomers used in the construction of the gas turbine.

Procedure for Development of a Test Method

2023-02-20
CURRENT
ARP8830
The document is a recommended guide for evaluating new or replacement test methods. It considers applicability, suitability, accessibility, and return on effort. Particular emphasis should be placed on completing the “strategy definition” portion of this document (Stage 2), to capture all relevant process stages and complete in a recognizable order for any specific development project. The overall process should: 1 address the rationale behind testing; 2 result in a thorough review of whether a test is fit for purpose; 3 act as a pathway for vetting if a test should be added to AS5780. If, in any project, this process is not an exact fit, users should feel free to adjust, as necessary. The process provides the following stages:

Oil Carbon Particulate Test

2020-11-10
CURRENT
ARP6223
An oil sample is placed into an open top glass vial which is then inserted into a stainless steel pressure vessel. The vessel is then sealed, pressurized, and placed into a heated aluminum block bath for 18 hours. At the end of the 18 hour time period, the vessel is removed from the heat source and allowed to cool to room temperature at which time the contents of the vial are filtered and the total sediment is reported as milligrams of sediment per 20 mL of oil.

Evaluation of Fouling Propensity of Aviation Lubricants Using the Mixed-Phase Flow Technique (High-Temperature Deposition Test)

2023-10-05
CURRENT
ARP8462
The high-temperature deposition test (HTDT) method is designed to evaluate the deposition and degradation characteristics of turbine lubricants when stressed under mixed-phase flow conditions found in certain parts of aviation gas turbine engines. This method is applicable to lubricants that form deposits in the range of 0.1 to 100 mg during the course of a test.

ARP5996
This method is designed to evaluate the coking propensity of synthetic ester-based aviation lubricants under single phase flow conditions found in certain parts of gas turbine engines, for instance in bearing feed tubes. This method is applicable to lubricants with a coking propensity, as determined by this method, falling in the range 0.01 to 3.00 mg.
