TEST METHOD FOR EVAPORATION LOSS OF LUBRICATING OILS BY THE NOACK METHOD
This Malaysian Standard covers three procedures for determining the evaporation loss of lubricating oils (particularly engineoils). Procedure A uses the Noack evaporative tester equipment; Procedure B uses the automated non-Woods metal Noackevaporative apparatus; and Procedure C uses Selby-Noack volatility test equipment. The test method relates to one set ofoperating conditions but may be readily adapted to other conditions when required.
Noack results determined using Procedures A and B show consistent differences. Procedure A gives slightly lowerresults versus Procedure B on formulated engine oils, while Procedure A gives higher results versus Procedure B on basestocks.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
