ASTM D 6923:2023

1.1 This test method covers stressing an engine oil under modern high-speed diesel operating conditions and measures the oil's deposit control, lubrication ability, and resistance to oil consumption. It is performed in a laboratory using a standardized high-speed, single-cylinder diesel engine. 3 1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.2.1 Exceptions- Where there is no direct SI equivalent such as screw threads, national pipe threads/diameters, and tubing size, or where a sole source supplier is specified. 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Being an engine test method, this test method does have definite hazards that require safe practices (see Appendix X2 on Safety). 1.4 The following is the Table of Contents: Scope 1 Referenced Documents 2 Terminology 3 Summary of Test Method 4 Significance and Use 5 Apparatus and Installation 6 Intake Air System 6.2.1 Exhaust System 6.2.2 Fuel System 6.2.3 Oil Consumption System 6.2.4 Engine Oil System 6.2.5 Engine Coolant System 6.2.6 Engine Instrumentation 6.2.7 Reagents and Materials 7 Oil Samples 8 Preparation of Apparatus 9 General Engine Assembly Practices 9.1 Complete Engine Inspection 9.2 Copper Component 9.3 Engine Lubricant System Flush 9.4 Engine Piston Cooling Jet 9.5 Engine Measurements and Inspections 9.6 Cylinder Head 9.7 Valve Guide Bushings 9.8 Fuel Injector 9.9 Piston and Rings 9.10 Cylinder Liner 9.11 Compression Ratio 9.12 Engine Timing 9.13 Engine Coolant System Cleaning Procedure 9.14 Calibration and Standardization 10 Test Cell Instrumentation 10.1 Instrumentation Standards 10.2 Coolant Flow 10.3 Fuel Injectors 10.4 Air Flow 10.5 Intake Air Barrel 10.6 Fuel Filter 10.7 Oil Scale Flow Rates 10.8 Test Stand Calibration 10.9 Re-calibration Requirements 10.9.1 Extending Test Stand Calibration Period 10.9.2 Test Run Numbering 10.10 Humidity Calibration Requirements 10.11 Calibration of Piston Deposit Raters 10.12 Procedure ...
