Description / Abstract:
This SAE Information Report establishes a minimum level of
uniform recipes for contaminants which may be used when durability
testing pneumatic components to obtain additional information on
how a device may perform under more true-tolife operating
conditions. This type of contamination testing, however, is not
meant to replace the type of performance testing described in SAE
J1409 and SAE J1410. Durability testing in the presence of
contamination, however, will yield results more reflective of
actual in-service field conditions and provide an additional
evaluation of pneumatic devices.
While the contaminant supply rate and other test criteria of the
device being tested must be set by the device manufacturer or user,
the items covered in this document will be:
Formula for contaminated oil to be used as a lubricant when
testing air compressors.
Formula for a contaminant to be used when testing pneumatic
system components other than air compressors.
Other contaminants.
