ASTM D7468-22

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE 5.1 This test method was developed to assess the performance of an engine oil to control engine wear and deposits under heavy-duty operating conditions selected to accelerate soot generation, valve train wear, and deposit formation in a turbocharged, aftercooled four-stroke-cycle diesel engine equipped with exhaust gas recirculation hardware. 5.2 This test method can be used for engine oil specification acceptance when all details of this test method are in compliance. Applicable engine oil service categories are included in Specification D4485. 5.3 The design of the engine used in this test method is representative of many, but not all, modern diesel engines. This factor, along with the accelerated operating conditions needs to be considered when extrapolating test results. SCOPE 1.1 The test method covers a heavy-duty diesel engine test procedure conducted under high soot conditions to evaluate oil performance with regard to valve train wear, top ring wear, sludge deposits, and oil filter plugging in an EGR environment. This test method is commonly referred to as the Cummins ISM Test.2 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 Exception—The only exception is where there is no direct SI equivalent such as screw threads, national pipe threads/diameters, tubing sizes, or where there is a sole source of supply equipment specification. 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. See Annex A1 for general safety precautions. 1.4 Table of Contents: Section Scope 1 Referenced Documents 2 Terminology 3 Summary of Test Method 4 Significance and Use 5 Apparatus 6 Test Engine Configuration 6.1 Test Engine 6.1.1 Oil Heat Exchanger, Adapter Blocks, Block Off Plate 6.1.2 Oil Filter Head Modification 6.1.3 Oil Pan Modification 6.1.4 Engine Control Module (ECM) 6.1.5 Engine Position Sensor 6.1.6 Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor 6.1.7 Barometric Pressure Sensor 6.1.8 Turbocharger Controller 6.1.9 Power Supply Voltage 6.1.10 Air Compressor and Fuel Pump 6.1.11 Engine Block Preparation 6.1.12 Test Stand Configuration 6.2 Engine Mounting 6.2.1 Intake Air System 6.2.2 Aftercooler 6.2.3 Exhaust System 6.2.4 Exhaust Gas Recirculation System 6.2.5 Fuel System 6.2.6 Coolant System 6.2.7 Pressurized Oil Fill System 6.2.8 External Oil System 6.2.9 Crankcase Aspiration 6.2.10 Blowby Rate 6.2.11 System Time Responses 6.3 Oil Sample Containers 6.4 Mass Balance 6.5 Engine and Cleaning Fluids 7 Test Oil 7.1 Test Fuel 7.2 Engine Coolant 7.3 Pentane 7.4 Solvent 7.5 Preparation of Apparatus 8 Cleaning of Parts 8.1 General 8.1.1 Engine Block 8.1.2 Cylinder Head 8.1.3 Rocker Cover and Oil Pan 8.1.4 External Oil System 8.1.5 Crosshead Cleaning and Measurement 8.1.6 Rod Bearing Cleaning and Measurement 8.1.7 Ring Cleaning and Measurement 8.1.8 Injector Adjusting Screw Cleaning and Measurement 8.1.9 Engine Assembly 8.2 General 8.2.1 Parts Reuse and Replacement 8.2.2 Build-Up Oil 8.2.3 Coolant Thermostat 8.2.4 Oil Thermostat 8.2.5 Fuel Injectors 8.2.6 New Parts 8.2.7 Operational Measurements 8.3 Units and Formats 8.3.1 Instrumentation Calibration 8.3.2 Temperatures 8.3.3...
