Designation:D748415Standard Test Method forEvaluation of Automotive Engine Oils for Valve-Train WearPerformance in Cummins ISB Medium-Duty Diesel Engine1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7484;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONAny properly equipped laboratory,without outside assistance,can use the procedure described inthis test method.However,the ASTM Test Monitoring Center(TMC)2provides reference oils and anassessment of the test results obtained on those oils by the laboratory.By these means,the laboratorywill know whether its use of the test method gives results statistically similar to those obtained byother laboratories.Furthermore,various agencies require that a laboratory utilize the TMC services inseeking qualification of oils against specifications.For example,the U.S.Army imposes such arequirement in connection with several Army engine lubricating oil specifications.Accordingly,this test method is written for use by laboratories that utilize the TMC services.Laboratories that choose not to use these services may simply ignore those portions of the test methodthat refer to the TMC.This test method may be modified by means of information letters issued by the TMC.2In addition,the TMC may issue supplementary memoranda related to the method.1.Scope*1.1 This test method,commonly referred to as the CumminsISB Test,covers the utilization of a modern,5.9 L,dieselengine equipped with exhaust gas recirculation and is used toevaluate oil performance with regard to valve-train wear.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.2.1 ExceptionsSI units are provided for all parametersexcept where there is no direct equivalent such as the units forscrew threads,National Pipe Threads/diameters,tubing size,orwhere there is a sole source of supply equipment specification.1.2.2 See also A8.1 for clarification;it does not supersede1.2 and 1.2.1.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.See Annex A1 forgeneral safety precautions.1.4 Table of Contents:SectionScope1Referenced Documents2Terminology3Summary of Test Method4Significance and Use5Apparatus6Engine Fluids and Cleaning Solvents7Preparation of Apparatus8Engine/Stand Calibration and Non-ReferenceOil Tests9Test Procedure10Calculations,Ratings,and Test Validity11Report12Precision and Bias13AnnexesSafety PrecautionsAnnex A1Intake Air AftercoolerAnnex A2The Cummins ISB Engine Build Parts KitAnnex A3Sensor Locations and Special HardwareAnnex A4External Oil SystemAnnex A5Fuel SpecificationAnnex A6Cummins Service PublicationsAnnex A7Specified Units and FormatsAnnex A8Oil AnalysesAnnex A91This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Products,Liquid Fuels,and Lubricants and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D02.B0 on Automotive Lubricants.Current edition approved Oct.1,2015.Published November 2015.Originallyapproved in 2008.Last previous edition approved in 2013 as D7484 13a.DOI:10.1520/D7484-15.2Until the next revision of this test method,the ASTM Test Monitoring Centerwill update changes in the test method by means of information letters.Informationletters may be obtained from theASTM Test Monitoring Center,6555 PennAvenue,Pittsburgh,PA 15206-4489.Attention Administrator.This edition incorporatesrevisions in all information letters through No.151.www.astmtmc.cmu.edu.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3D86 Test Method for Distillation of Petroleum Products atAtmospheric PressureD93 Test Methods for Flash Point by Pensky-MartensClosed Cup TesterD97 Test Method for Pour Point of Petroleum ProductsD130 Test Method for Corrosiveness to Copper from Petro-leum Products by Copper Strip TestD235 Specification for Mineral Spirits(Petroleum Spirits)(Hydrocarbon Dry Cleaning Solvent)D445 Test Method for Kinematic Viscosity of Transparentand Opaque Liquids(and Calculation of Dynamic Viscos-ity)D482 Test Method for Ash from Petroleum ProductsD524 Test Method for Ramsbottom Carbon Residue ofPetroleum ProductsD613 Test Method for Cetane Number of Diesel Fuel OilD664 Test Method for Acid Number of Petroleum Productsby Potentiometric TitrationD976 Test Method for Calculated Cetane Index of DistillateFuelsD1319 Test Method for Hydrocarbon Types in Liquid Petro-leum Products b
