Determination of homogeneity and miscibility
in automotive engine oils - Test method
(First revision)
1.1 This test method covers the determination if an automotive
engine oil is homogeneous and will remain so, and if it is
miscible with certain standard reference oils after being submitted
to a prescribed cycle of temperature changes. This test
method is very similar to the homogeneity and miscibility test
described in FED–STD–791/3470.1.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as
standard. No other units of measurement are included in this
standard.
1.3 WARNING—Mercury has been designated by many
regulatory agencies as a hazardous material that can cause
central nervous system, kidney and liver damage. Mercury, or
its vapor, may be hazardous to health and corrosive to
materials. Caution should be taken when handling mercury and
mercury containing products. See the applicable product Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for details and EPA’s
website—http://www.epa.gov/mercury/faq.htm—for additional
information. Users should be aware that selling mercury
and/or mercury containing products into your state or country
may be prohibited by law.
1.4 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.
