ASTM D2272-02

Standard Test Method for Oxidation Stability of Steam Turbine Oils by Rotating Pressure Vessel

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
The estimate of oxidation stability is useful in controlling the continuity of this property for batch acceptance of production lots having the same operation. It is not intended that this test method be a substitute for Test Method D 943or be used to compare the service lives of new oils of different compositions.
This test method is also used to assess the remaining oxidation test life of in-service oils.
Note 1—A modification of the rotating vessel method has been published as Test Method D 2112, which uses a similar procedure and apparatus but a lower (140°C) bath temperature. Test Method D 2112 requires duplicate testing and Test Method D 2272 conducted duplicate testing in the past.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method utilizes an oxygen-pressured vessel to evaluate the oxidation stability of new and in-service turbine oils having the same composition (base stock and additives) in the presence of water and a copper catalyst coil at 150°C.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific warning statements, see 6.2, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.10, and 6.11.
