1.1这些试验方法（A和B）包括测定极压流体润滑剂、齿轮油或矿物油的氧化特性。 注1-这些试验方法引起的润滑剂变化并不一定总是与润滑剂的氧化有关。某些变化可能是由于热降解引起的。 1.2 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全和健康实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 ====意义和用途====== 这些试验方法已广泛用于测量极压润滑液、齿轮油和矿物油的氧化稳定性。

1.1 These test methods (A and B) cover the determination of the oxidation characteristics of extreme-pressure fluid lubricants, gear oils, or mineral oils. Note 1—The changes in the lubricant resulting from these test methods are not always necessarily associated with oxidation of the lubricant. Some changes may be due to thermal degradation. 1.2 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. ====== Significance And Use ====== These test methods have been widely used to measure the oxidation stability of extreme pressure lubricating fluids, gear oils, and mineral oils.
