Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 26422 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 28, Petroleum products and lubricants.
ISO 26422 is based on DIN 51350-6, which has also been adopted by the Coordinating European Council
(CEC) as CEC-L-45-99.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 26422:2011(E)
Petroleum and related products — Determination of shear
stability of lubricating oils containing polymers — Method
using a tapered roller bearing
WARNING — The use of this International Standard may involve hazardous materials, operations and
equipment. This International Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this International Standard to establish
appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use.
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method of determining the shear stability of polymer-containing
lubricating oils, including pressure fluids, by the four-ball tester as specified in ISO 20623, but using a tapered
roller bearing. The test results allow prediction of the in-service permanent viscosity loss.
NOTE Other International Standards exist which evaluate viscosity loss of polymer-containing oils. The method
specified in this International Standard subjects fluids to a higher shear rate than, for example, the diesel injector nozzle
shear test in ISO 20844. It is particularly appropriate for lubricants being used in high shear applications, such as
components with gears and roller bearings. In such applications, the shear rate in the ISO 20844 test method can be too
low to generate a realistic permanent shear of the fluid.

NOTE 1 A small value indicates a high shear stability.
NOTE 2 The tapered roller bearing test is also known in the industry as the KRL (Kegelrollenlager) principle.
4 Principle
Using the splash lubrication method, a volume of 40 ml of the lubricating oil is tested at a constant
temperature of 60° C in a tapered roller bearing driven by the four-ball tester. The test is carried out at
constant speed and the load applied during a given running time is 5 000 N. The kinematic viscosity of the
lubricating oil is determined at a temperature of 100° C before and after the test. The percentage viscosity loss,
R , is calculated from these two viscosities.
V
NOTE Other temperatures to determine shear loss, such as 40° C, can be requested by some classification systems.
5 Reagents and materials
5.1 Cleaning solvents, appropriate to the material last tested. For mineral oils, light hydrocarbons and
acetone are suitable. For some hydraulic fluids, a low molecular mass alcohol will assist in the first cleaning
stage.
6 Apparatus
6.1 Four-ball tester, as specified in ISO 20623.
6.2 Tapered roller bearing, metric series 32008 X, in accordance with ISO 355. The single row tapered
roller bearing assembly consists of an inner race with cage and roller assembly and an outer race.
NOTE 1 It is advisable that the inner and outer races be considered to be a matched pair when obtained from the
supplier and these components not be interchanged with those of other sets of bearings.
NOTE 2 Precision has only been evaluated on SKF 32008 X/Q bearings (Q for optimized contact geometry and
bearing surfaces).
NOTE 3 The adapter shown in Figure 1 is available from several producers. It is advisable only to use adapters that
have been proven in tests run in accordance with CEC-L-45-99.
1)
6.3 Shear stability testing apparatus , as shown in Figure 1.
6.4 Temperature control device, for controlling the temperature of the oil to a temperature of 60 °C ± 1 °C,
using a temperature measuring device located in the shear stability test apparatus.
6.5 Viscometer, an appropriate glass capillary viscometer meeting the requirements of ISO 3105 or a
suitable automated viscosimeter should be used for the determination of kinematic viscosity in accordance
with ISO 3104.
