Summary of method
4.9.2.1 -
A small metered sample of the product to be tested is injected with a
hypodermic syringe into a heated 200 ml Erlenmeyer borosilicate glass
flask containing air. The contents of the flask are observed in a
darkened room for 5 min following injection of the sample or until autoignition occurs; auto-ignition is evidenced by the sudden appearance of
a flame inside the flask. The lowest flask temperature at which autoignition occurs for a series of prescribed sample volumes is taken to be
the auto-ignition temperature of the petroleum product in air at one
atmosphere pressure.

Procedure
4.9.4.1 -
Temperature Control
Adjust the temperature of the furnace so that the temperatures at the
top, centre, and bottom of the 200 ml Erlenmeyer test flask are within
2 F (1.1 C) of the desired test temperature.
4.9.4.2 -
Sample Injection
3
Inject 0,07 cm of the sample to be tested into the test flask with the
hypodermic syringe ; quickly withdraw the syringe.
4.9.4.3 -
Time Measurement
Start the timer as the sample is injected into the test flask.
4.9.4.4 -
Observations
Observe the inside of the test flask in a darkened room by means of a
mirror placed at an appropriate angle above the flask. If a flame is not
observed in 5 min, the volume of the sample tested is considered nonflammable at the temperature of the test flask. Completely flush the
flask with clean dry air and stop the timer. Then repeat the test at a
higher (about 50 F or 30 C) temperature. Allow at least 15 min to elapse
between tests. If a flame is observed, stop the timer and record the time
interval between the sample injection and the appearance of the flame
to the nearest 0,2 s as the time lag.
Lower the test temperature by 5 F (3 C) and repeat the entire procedure
until auto-ignition is no longer obtained. Then raise the test temperature
3
about 50 F and repeat the above procedure using 0,10 cm of the
sample. If the lowest temperature at which auto-ignition is obtained with
3
this quantity of sample (0,10 cm ) is lower than that found in the
3
previous test, repeat the procedure again using 0,12, then 0,15 cm ,
3
etc…, of the sample in 0,02 to 0,03 cm steps until the minimum autoignition temperature is obtained. If the lowest temperature at which
3
auto-ignition is obtained with 0,10 cm of the sample is greater than that
3
obtained with 0,07 cm of the sample, repeat the above procedure with
3
3
0,05 then 0,03 cm instead of 0,12, 0,15 cm , etc…
4.9.4.5 -
Auto-ignition : auto-ignition is usually evidenced in these tests by the
appearance of a yellow or blue flame. However, pale blue, white, red,
and mixed colour flames may be obtained in some cases.

4.9.6.1 -
The following criteria should be used for judging the acceptability of
results (95 % confidence).
4.9.6.1.1 - Repeatability
Duplicate results by the same operator should be considered
suspect if they differ by more than 5 below +600 °F (+316 °C)
and by more than 10 above +600 °F (+316 °C).
4.9.6.1.2 - Reproducibility
The result submitted by each of two laboratories should be
considered suspect if the two results differ by more than 20
below +600 °F (+316 °C) and by more than 40 above +600 °F

Flammability test (all fluids)
4.10.1 - Ignition test on a "pipe cleaner"
This consists of in constructing a device as shown in APPENDIX C1 to move an
ordinary pipe-cleaner fixed horizontally in the flame of a BUNSEN burner back
and forth at a given frequency, preferably 30 to 40 cycles per minute.
Cut about 50 mm off the pipe-cleaner and soak it in the test fluid, letting the
excess drain away. Install the pipe-cleaner in the apparatus in such a way that
the outside end describes a radius R of approximately 102 mm.
Adjust the BUNSEN burner to give a quantity of air sufficient to obtain a nonluminous flame of approximately 100 mm in height but not too much more, in
order to form a sharply inward curving cone.
Control the back and forth movements of the pipe-cleaner in such a way that the
centre of the 50 mm length is at the centre of the flame at the end of the cycle
and count the number of cycles until the flame is self-maintained.
Value shall be :
≥ 25 cycles

4.10.2 - Ignition test under pressure
APPENDIX C2 represents a diagram of the test equipment. The equipment is
5
comprised of a nitrogen tank used to apply a pressure of (70 ± 3).10 Pa to the
test fluid, a hydraulic cylinder (jack) and the obligatory valves and pressure
gauges.
A sharp-edged steel nozzle with an aperture of 0,4 mm in diameter and a
thickness of 1,6 mm is used to spray the fluid.
The hydraulic cylinder (jack) shall be filled with the test fluid at +20 °C to +25 °C
5
and a pressure of (70 ± 3 ).10 Pa applied. The spray valve shall then be opened
at its aperture and an attempt made to light the fluid spray at a point between 40
and 300 mm away using an oxyacetylene blowtorch adjusted to give a neutral
flame.

solder to avoid possible errors of temperature readout. Insert a heating element
measuring 790 mm x 305 mm x 25,4 mm with an electrical resistance of 0,633 Ω
into the tube and make the necessary electrical connections.
Adjust the electrical voltage of the resistor to give a tube temperature of
(+700 ± 5) °C.
Clean the tube prior or each series of tests using steel wool or a sand-blasting
process.

Colour - Condition
The new fluid shall be of a purple colour which shall not significantly alter during use in
normal conditions of temperatures (-40 °C to +110 °C), or in the presence of air.
New fluid shall be clear and homogeneous without any solid suspended matter.

4.12 -
Adiabatic Bulk Modulus (modulus of volume elasticity)
The Adiabatic Bulk Modulus (reciprocal of the coefficient of compressibility), which
characterizes fluid compression, shall be determined using a method and set-up in
accordance with hydraulic system requirements.
A possible method would be to determine the speed of sound "C" by measuring the time
required by an ultrasonic signal to cover a distance measured in the fluid at a required
temperature and pressure and also the density "ρ" of the fluid in the same conditions of
temperature and pressure.
In this case, the Adiabatic Bulk Modulus will be calculated in Pa by the relationship :
2
Ea = ρ x C
where
ρ = density in kg.m
-3
C = speed of sound in the fluid in m.s

5
The Adiabatic Bulk Modulus, at a pressure of 210 x 10 Pa and for the temperatures range
(+25 ; +50 ; +80 ; +100 ; +120) °C, whatever the fluid type, shall be :
5
Ea ≥ 14 500 x 10 Pa

Solid particle contamination (Cleanliness Class determination by microscopic counting)
Note : by reason of the chemical nature of this type of hydraulic fluid, filtering membranes
compatible with phosphate esters (PA 6.6, PTFE, POM,...) with a pore dimension
of 1 µm will be used with trichlorethylene filtered at 1 µm as a solvent.
4.16.1 - Counting degree shall be determined in compliance with the method described in
NF L 41-102 (ARP 598).
3
The particles shall be counted by filtering 100 cm of fluid using a filter of the type
described above, divided into 100 equal squares, under reflected light as follows :
- For particles > 50 µm in dimension and fibres, a global count is made over the
entire surface of the filter magnified by 40.
- For particles of ∈ ] 15 ; 50 ] µm in dimension, a count is made over 10 squares
3
magnified by 100 ; this is multiplied by 10 to obtain the count for 100 cm of
fluid.
- For particles of ∈ [ 5 ; 15 ] µm in dimension, a count is made over 10 surfaces
2
of 1,5 mm magnified by 100 ; this is multiplied by 64 to obtain the count for

4.16.3 - Filterability index "FI" (all fluids)
Note : Filterability index, which is dimensionless, is not strictly an intrinsic physical
property of the fluid but rather a means of gauging its hydraulic behaviour.
The hereafter method, with a repeatability of 5 %, consists in comparing
the flow rate under constant pressure of a fluid through different filters,
during the test.
Test equipment (See Testing Installation in APPENDIX D2):
- PTFE filtering membranes welded to a polyethylene grid, pore
dimension 1µm, Ø = 47 mm - (MILLIPORE/Type FA/Ref. FALP 047FI),
- timing device.
Test conditions : constant filtering pressure.
Record the flow times, in seconds, for each volume of fluid, i.e. :
t
50,
t 100 , t 200 , t 300,
Calculate filterability index using the following formula :
FI =
t300 − t200
2(t 100 − t50 )
The value must be :
1.00 ≤ FI ≤ 1.60

consumer circuit comprised of three servocontrols, a braking system and a motor
unit ; an electronic box controls each item of consumer equipment, with a given
operating cycle.
The temperature of the hydraulic fluid shall be controlled by a by-passable
exchanger that must not produce copper ions.
The nominal pressure supplied by the pump is 21 MPa.
The pressure and temperature parameters are permanently monitored : any
abnormal values leads to bench shutdown.
The hydraulic reservoir is air pressurized to a relative pressure of 35 kPa, with
direct contact between the air and the hydraulic fluid.
Bench capacity is approximately 70 litres, including that of the reservoir which is
26 litres (normal filling level).
The overall internal leakage of the bench shall be measured with a flowmeter.
Individual internal leakage of consumer equipment items (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) shall be
measured using an accurate method (1 % maximum error) which shall minimize
the quantity of lost fluid.
The bench fluid cleanliness class shall be maintained at ≤ 8 (see § 4.16)
4.23.2 - Test procedure

1-Store the fluid sampling at ambient temperature condition in hermetic flask during 24 hours in respect. Rinse correctly all
components (membrane + support) with filtered cleaning liquid through a DPM membrane (filterability less than 0,8 µm), dry
with filtered and pressurised air, the apparatus being maintained in a position facilitating the running of cleaning liquid. The
filtering membranes have to be dried in drying-oven at between 60 to 80°C temperature during minimum 10 minutes.
2-Install the components, with electrical bonding for m etallic parts, and put the filtering membrane on the support screen
using a nipper.
3-Shut the SOV and set the air or gas pressure at (1 ± 0,05) bar.
4-Pour around 320 cc of homogenised and de-aerated fluid to be tested on the pressurised container and shut hermetically it.
5-Open the SOV to pressurise the container.
Note: 4 and 5 will be quickly operated
6-The chronometer has to be triggered, monitoring a constant pressure (see 3) when the first drop of fluid is falling in the
graduated flask.
7-Record the corresponding time for each required volume (t50 for 50 cc, t100 for 100cc, t200 for 200cc, t 300 for 300cc) in a
sheet of results (table presentation recommended) giving the associated installation and room conditions and, if known, the
fluid cleanliness class (as per NS307110 § 4.16) and the fluid contamination (water and chlorine concentrations for aged
fluid) .
Notes:
1: if the measured time t50 were < 60 seconds, the test would be stopped and performed again with a pressure of (0,5 ± 0,05)
bar.
2: if the measured time t50 were < 600 seconds, the test would be stopped and performed again with a pressure of (2, 0±
0,05) bar.
3: stop the test after 2 hours (7200s) and record the total volume of filtered fluid.
4: perform each test 3 times for each referenced volume.
8-Shut the SOV and remove the components.
9-Examine visually the membrane to check if its colouring is homogeneous. If it is not the case, please, note that in the test
report.
10-Clean the components and rinse the pipes of testing installation using appropriated cleanliness liquid.
