1.1 本试验方法包括在24 °C和93.5 °C。描述了根据经验评定泡沫的发泡倾向和稳定性的方法。 1.2 警告 --汞已被许多监管机构指定为一种可能导致严重医疗问题的危险物质。汞或其蒸汽已被证明对健康有害，对材料具有腐蚀性。处理汞和含汞产品时要小心。有关更多信息，请参阅适用的产品安全数据表（SDS）。当地或国家法律有可能禁止销售含汞或含汞产品，或两者兼有。用户必须确定在其所在地销售的合法性。 1.3 以国际单位制表示的数值应视为标准。SI单位后括号中给出的值仅供参考，不视为标准值。 1.4 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的使用者有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 有关具体的警告声明，请参阅章节 7. ， 8. 和 9.1.1 。 1.5 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认的标准化原则制定的。 ===意义和用途====== 5.1 在高速齿轮传动、大容量泵送和飞溅润滑等系统中，油的泡沫化趋势可能是一个严重的问题。润滑不足、气蚀和润滑剂溢流损失可能导致机械故障。 该试验方法用于评估此类操作条件下的机油。

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the foaming characteristics of lubricating oils at 24 °C and 93.5 °C. Means of empirically rating the foaming tendency and the stability of the foam are described. 1.2 WARNING —Mercury has been designated by many regulatory agencies as a hazardous substance that can cause serious medical issues. Mercury, or its vapor, has been demonstrated to be hazardous to health and corrosive to materials. Use caution when handling mercury and mercury-containing products. See the applicable product Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for additional information. The potential exists that selling mercury or mercury-containing products, or both, is prohibited by local or national law. Users must determine legality of sales in their location. 1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses after SI units are provided for information only and are not considered standard. 1.4 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. For specific warning statements, see Sections 7 , 8 , and 9.1.1 . 1.5 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 The tendency of oils to foam can be a serious problem in systems such as high-speed gearing, high-volume pumping, and splash lubrication. Inadequate lubrication, cavitation, and overflow loss of lubricant can lead to mechanical failure. This test method is used in the evaluation of oils for such operating conditions.
