Petroleum and related products - Determination of the ageing behaviour of inhibited oils and fluids - TOST test - Part 3: Anhydrous procedure for synthetic hydraulic fluids (ISO 4263-3:2006)
This part of ISO 4263 specifies a method for the determination of the ageing behaviour of synthetic hydraulic fluids of categories HFDR, HFDU, HEES and HEPG as defined e.g. in ISO 12922[4] and ISO 15380[5]. The ageing is accelerated by the presence of oxygen and metal catalysts at elevated temperature, and the degradation of the fluid is followed by changes in acid number. Other parts of ISO 4263 specify similar procedures for the determination of ageing behaviour of mineral oils and specified categories of fire-resistant fluids used in hydraulic and other applications.
Mineralölerzeugnisse und verwandte Produkte - Bestimmung des Alterungsverhaltens von inhibierten Ölen und Flüssigkeiten - TOST-Verfahren - Teil 3: Wasserfreies Verfahren für synthetische Druckflüssigkeiten (ISO 4263-3:2006)
Dieser Teil von ISO 4263 legt ein Verfahren fest zur Bestimmung des Alterungsverhaltens von wasserfreien synthetischen Druckflüssigkeiten der Klassen HFDR, HFDU, HEES und HEPG, die in ISO 12922 [4] und ISO 15380 [5] definiert sind. Die Alterung wird beschleunigt durch die Anwesenheit von Sauerstoff, Wasser und Metall-Katalysatoren bei erhöhten Temperaturen, und die Zerfallserscheinungen in der Flüssigkeit werden über die Änderung der Säurezahl verfolgt. Andere Teile von ISO 4263 legen ähnliche Verfahren für die Bestimmung des Alterungsverhaltens von Mineralöl und spezifizierten Klassen von schwerentflammbaren Flüssigkeiten und synthetischen Flüssigkeiten fest, die in hydraulischen und anderen Anwendungen eingesetzt werden.
ANMERKUNG Andere Zerfallserscheinungen wie die Bildung von unlöslichem Schlamm, die Korrosion der Katalysatorwendeln oder die Verringerung der Viskosität können auftreten und sind ein Anzeichen für Oxidationsvorgänge im Öl, die jedoch keine Rückschlüsse auf die Öllebensdauer zu. Die Korrelation dieser Vorkommnisse mit Feldanwendungen wird noch untersucht.
Dieses Prüfverfahren kann zum Vergleich der Oxidationsstabilität von Druckflüssigkeiten herangezogen werden, für welche eine Verunreinigung mit Wasser nicht wahrscheinlich ist. Wegen der großen Zahl individueller Anwendungen in der Praxis kann eine Übereinstimmung der Ergebnisse nach diesem Prüfverfahren mit der aktuellen Leistungsfähigkeit des Öles variieren und sich erst im Betriebseinsatz herausstellen.
Präzisionsangaben für dieses Prüfverfahren sind wegen fehlender Ringversuchsergebnisse nicht verfügbar. Deshalb ist dieses Prüfverfahren ggf. für Spezifikationen oder sogar auch für den Streitfall nicht geeignet, solange diese Daten nicht vorhanden sind. Für Turbinenöle jedoch werden in Abschnitt 11 Präzisionsdaten zur Orientierung angegeben, wie sie gegebenenfalls auch für synthetische Druckflüssigkeiten erhalten werden könnten.

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 4263-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 28, Petroleum products and lubricants.
ISO 4263 consists of the following parts, under the general title Petroleum and related products —
Determination of the ageing behaviour of inhibited oils and fluids — TOST test:
⎯ Part 1: Procedure for mineral oils
⎯ Part 2: Procedure for category HFC hydraulic fluids

Anhydrous procedure for synthetic hydraulic fluids
WARNING — The use of this part of ISO 4263 may involve hazardous materials, operations and
equipment. This part of ISO 4263 does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated
with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this part of ISO 4263 to establish appropriate safety
and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1 Scope
This part of ISO 4263 specifies a method for the determination of the ageing behaviour of synthetic hydraulic
[4] [5]
fluids of categories HFDR, HFDU, HEES and HEPG as defined e.g. in ISO 12922 and ISO 15380 . The
ageing is accelerated by the presence of oxygen and metal catalysts at elevated temperature, and the
degradation of the fluid is followed by changes in acid number. Other parts of ISO 4263 specify similar
procedures for the determination of ageing behaviour of mineral oils and specified categories of fire-resistant
fluids used in hydraulic and other applications.
NOTE Other signs of fluid deterioration, such as the formation of insoluble sludge, catalyst coil corrosion or decrease
in viscosity, can occur, which indicate oxidation of the fluid, but are not reflected in the calculated oxidation lifetime. The
correlation of these occurrences with field service is under investigation.
This test method can be used to compare the oxidation stability of fluids that are not prone to contamination
with water. However, because of the large number of individual field-service applications, the correlation
between the results of this test and actual service performance can vary markedly, and is best judged on
experience.
The precision of this test method for synthetic hydraulic fluids is not known because interlaboratory data are
not available. This method might not be suitable for use in specifications or in the event of disputed results as
long as these data are not available. However, precision for inhibited turbine oils is given in Clause 11 for
guidance as an indication of the precision that could be obtained for synthetic hydraulic fluids.

3 Principle
A test portion is reacted, in the absence of light, at 95 °C with oxygen and a steel and copper catalyst coil.
Small aliquots of the fluid are withdrawn at regular intervals and the acid number is measured (see the Note in
Clause 1). The test is continued until an acid number increase of 2,0 mg of potassium hydroxide (KOH) per
gram of test portion is reached and the number of hours is recorded as the oxidation life. For some
requirements, the test may be discontinued at a fixed number of hours (e.g. 500 h or 1 000 h) when the value
of the acid number is still below 2,0 mg of KOH per gram of test portion.
4 Reagents and materials
4.1 Water, unless otherwise specified, in accordance with the requirements of grade 2 of ISO 3696:1987.
Potable water means tap water, unless normal piped supplies are contaminated with particulate or highly
soluble mineral content.
4.2 Heptane (C H ), of minimum purity 99,75 %.
7 16
4.3 Acetone (CH COCH ), of general purpose reagent grade (GPR).
3 3
4.4 Propan-2-ol (CH CHOHCH ), of general purpose reagent grade (GPR).
3 3
4.5 Oxygen, of minimum purity 99,5 %, supplied through a pressure-regulation system adequate to
maintain the specified flow rate throughout the test duration.
Supply from an oxygen cylinder should be via a two-stage regulation system and a needle valve to improve
the consistency of gas-flow regulation.
WARNING — Use oxygen only with equipment validated for oxygen service. Do not allow oil or grease
to come into contact with oxygen and clean and inspect all regulators, gauges and control equipment.
Check the oxygen-supply system regularly for leaks. If a leak is suspected, turn off immediately and
seek qualified assistance.
4.6 Cleaning solutions
4.6.1 Strong oxidizing acid solution
The reference strong oxidizing cleaning solution on which precision was based, is chromosulfuric acid (see
the following warning), but alternative non-chromium containing solutions, such as ammonium persulfate in
concentrated sulfuric acid (8 g/l) have been found to give satisfactory cleanliness. A 10 % solution of three
parts of hydrochloric acid (1 mol/l) and one part of orthophosphoric acid (concentrated GPR grade) removes
iron oxide deposits.
WARNING — Chromosulfuric acid is a health hazard. It is toxic, a recognized carcinogen as it contains
Cr(VI) compounds, highly corrosive and potentially hazardous in contact with organic materials. When
using chromosulfuric acid cleaning solution, eye protection and protective clothing are essential.
Never pipette the cleaning solution by mouth. After use, do not pour cleaning solution down the drain,
but neutralize it with great care owing to the concentrated sulfuric acid present, and dispose of it in
accordance with standard procedures for toxic laboratory waste (chromium is highly dangerous to the
environment).
Strongly oxidizing acid cleaning solutions that are chromium-free are also highly corrosive and
potentially hazardous in contact with organic materials, but do not contain chromium which has
special disposal problems.

6 Sampling
Unless otherwise specified, samples shall be obtained by the procedures described in ISO 3170.
7 Preparation of materials and apparatus
7.1 Cleaning the catalyst wire
Immediately prior to winding a catalyst coil, clean a 3,00 m ± 0,01 m length of steel wire (4.7.1) and an equal
length of copper wire (4.7.2) with wads of absorbent cotton (4.9) soaked in heptane (4.2), and then abrade
with the abrasive cloth (4.8) until a fresh metal surface is exposed. Wipe with dry absorbent cotton until all
loose particles of metal and abrasive have been removed. In all subsequent operations, handle the catalyst
wires with clean gloves (cotton, rubber or plastic) to prevent contact with the skin.
7.2 Preparation of catalyst coil
Twist the steel and copper wires together tightly at one end for three turns and then wind them simultaneously
alongside each other on a threaded mandrel (5.5 and Figure 3), inserting the steel wire in the deeper thread.
Twist the free ends of the steel and copper wires together for three turns and bend the twisted ends to
conform to the shape of the spiral coil. Remove the coil from the mandrel by reversing the winding action.
Ensure that the overall length of the coil is 225 mm ± 5 mm by stretching or compression if necessary.
7.3 Storage of the catalyst coil
Store the catalyst coil in a dry inert atmosphere prior to use, in accordance with the procedures described in
Annex B. Inspect before use to ensure that no corrosion products or contaminating materials are present. For
storage of less than 24 h, storage of the coil in heptane that is free from traces of water and corrosive
materials, is satisfactory.
NOTE Redistilled heptane (4.2), stored in a tightly-sealed bottle, is suitable for overnight storage of the catalyst coil.
7.4 Cleaning new glassware
Wash new oxygen-delivery tubes, condensers and test tubes with hot detergent solution (see 4.6.3) and rinse
thoroughly with potable water (4.1). Clean the interiors of the test tubes, the exteriors of the condensers, and
both interiors and exteriors of the oxygen-delivery tubes by either soaking for 24 h in a 10 % solution of the
surfactant cleaning fluid (4.6.2), or by washing in strong oxidizing acid solution (4.6.1). Rinse all parts
thoroughly with potable water followed by water (4.1) and allow to dry, either in an oven or by a final rinse of
propan-2-ol (4.4) or acetone (4.3) followed by air drying at ambient temperature.
7.5 Cleaning used glassware
Immediately following the termination of a test, drain the hydraulic fluid completely from the test tube and rinse
all glassware with heptane (4.2) to remove traces of hydraulic fluid. Wash with hot detergent solution (see
4.6.3) using a long-handled brush and rinse thoroughly with potable water.
NOTE If adherent deposits are still present, these can be removed by filling the test tube with detergent solution,
inserting the oxygen-delivery tube and fitting the condenser, and replacing the tube in the heating bath at test temperature.
Often, after several hours soaking, all adhering deposits except iron oxide have loosened, and this can be removed by a
subsequent soaking in the hydrochloric/orthophosphoric acid mixture (see 4.6.1).
After all deposits have been removed, follow the cleaning procedure described in 7.4.
Store all cleaned glassware in a dry, dust-free condition until required.

7.6 Cleaning aliquot-removal device
Completely drain the tube of the sampling tube (5.9) and/or any other devices used and rinse any surfaces
that have contacted the hydraulic fluid with heptane (4.2) to remove traces of hydraulic fluid. Soak the device
to above the contact level for 24 h in the surfactant cleaning fluid (4.6.2), or wash in strong oxidizing acid
solution (4.6.1), rinse with potable water, followed by water (4.1), and dry in the manner described in 7.4.
8 Procedure
8.1 Adjust the heating bath to a temperature that will maintain the temperature in the hydraulic fluid in the
oxidation cells (5.1) at 95,0 °C ± 0,2 °C throughout the duration of the test, with oxygen passing through the
cells at 3,0 l/h ± 0,5 l/h.
NOTE The temperature of the heating bath (5.2) will be above 95 °C due to the cooling effect of the oxygen flow, but
