Standard Test Method for Pentane Insolubles by Membrane Filtration
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of pentane insolubles for particles exceeding 0.8 μm in new and used lubricating oils.
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 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 7.1, 8.2.1, and Annex A1.
Significance and Use
5.1 Pentane insolubles above 0.8 μm in size may lead to increased wear. This increased wear can lead to premature equipment failure in critical applications.
