ASTM D 8316 : 2020

1.1This test method covers an extreme pressure (EP) lubricating oil’s coefficient of friction and its ability to protect against wear when subjected to high-frequency, linear oscillation motion. The test utilizes a roller-on-disc geometry, where the roller is inclined/deflected by 10° to the oscillating movement. The procedure is identical to that described in DIN 51834, Part 4.

1.2This test method can also be used to determine the ability of a non-EP lubricating oil to protect against wear and its coefficient of friction under similar test conditions.

1.3The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.4This 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.5This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
