Standard Test Method for Determination of Timing-Chain Wear in a Turbocharged, Direct-Injection, Spark-Ignition, Four-Cylinder Engine
涡轮增压直喷火花点火四缸发动机正时链条磨损测定的标准试验方法
1.1
Undesirable timing-chain wear has been observed with gasoline, turbocharged, direct-injection (GTDI) engines in field service, and data from correlating laboratory engine tests have shown that chain wear can be affected by appropriately formulated engine lubricating. A laboratory engine test has been developed to provide a means for screening lubricating oils for that specific purpose. The laboratory engine test is 216 h in length, conducted under varying conditions, and the increase in timing-chain length determined at the end of test is the primary result. This test method is commonly known as the Sequence X, Chain Wear (CW) Test.

This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
====== Significance And Use ======
5.1
This test method evaluates an automotive engine oil's lubricating efficiency in inhibiting timing-chain lengthening under operating conditions selected to accelerate timing-chain wear. Varying quality reference oils of known wear performance were used in developing the operating conditions of the test procedure.
5.2
The test method can be used to screen lubricants for satisfactory lubrication of an engine timing chain and has application in gasoline, automotive, engine-oil specifications. It is expected to be used in specifications and classifications of engine lubricating oils, such as the following:
5.2.1
ILSAC GF-6.
5.2.2
Specification
D4485
.
5.2.3
SAE Classification J183.
