ASTM D2273 Trace Sediment in Lubricating Oils
Sediments in lubricating fluids may damage system components in aviation systems, hydraulic systems and other mechanical systems, potentially leading to unexpected system failures. This test determines the level of sediment in lubricating oils.
The sample is mixed with solvent and centrifuged for ten minutes. It is then decanted and a second sample plus solvent is added to the tube, well mixed and centrifuged until a constant sediment level is obtained. The trace sediment is reported as the percent sediment by volume.
