4 Rolling Bearings Test and Assessment Methods for Cleanliness 1 Application Scope This Standard specifies the test and assessment of cleanliness of rolling bearings (hereinafter referred to as bearings) and bearing parts. This Standard applies to the test and assessment of all kinds of open bearings and closed bearings before greasing, as well as the test and assessment of bearing parts. 2 Normative References The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition dated applies to this document. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced documents (including all amendments) applies to this Standard. SH (2007), Solvent Oil for Use in Rubber Industry 3 Terms and Definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 impurity Particles which adhere to the surface of bearings/bearing parts and are adverse to the performance of bearings. 3.2 particle size The maximum size of particles (the maximum distance between points on the contour line of the particle image map). 3.3 bearing/bearing part cleanliness The size of impurity on each bearing/each bearing part or the weight of unit surface area; the size and quantity of impurity particle on each bearing/each bearing part or Page 4 of 19

5 wash the appliances once again as specified in B.3 or carry out blank test once again after using filtration membrane of pore size 0.45 μm to filter the solvent once again. 7.2 Measuring procedure of weighing method Liquid sample preparation Unless the cleanliness of the samples is so poor that the filtration speed of the liquid samples is lowered, multiple sets/pieces may be washed and measured together with the weighing method No scrubbing shall be carried out for the samples after opening package Soak cleaning. Use solvent to soak the samples in a container for more than 2 h; shake or rotate them one by one to make the impurity on the surface of the samples fall off to come into solvent. The use level of solvent shall ensure the samples are fully soaked in the container more than 10 mm Ultrasonic cleaning. Wash the samples twice by ultrasonic cleaning, 2 min for each time of cleaning. The use level of solvent for each time shall not be less than 200 ml and the height of solvent in the container shall not be lower than two times of the height of the samples. Multiple sets/pieces are allowed to be washed, but the samples are not allowed to be overlapped or staggered Washing of the samples with grooves or curls. Use solvent in the washing bottle to wash the surface of the samples to fully wash away impurity; collect the washings into the container All washings are liquid samples Preparation and weighing of filtration membrane Use tweezers to take 2 pieces of filtration membrane of pore size 1.2 μm to place into two weighing bottles marked Test (s) and Control (k) ; place them semiopenly into the thermostatic chamber for drying for 60 min at 60 C ± 5 C; put on the cap for them before placing them into the desiccator for cooling for 30 min; then use the analytical balance to weigh the two filtration membranes respectively; record them as m s1 and m s2. The filtration membranes shall be dried and weighed twice; the difference between the two weighing results shall not be greater than 0.2 mg; if the difference is greater than 0.2 mg, carry out drying and weighing once again and the final weighing results shall prevail Use tweezers to take out the filtration membranes from the weighing bottles; place in solvent to soak them before placing them flatwise on the microporous filter, with the control membrane (k) as the lower membrane and the test filtration membrane (s) as the upper membrane Press the upper funnel on the filtration membrane; use the clamping device to clamp the upper funnel, filtration membranes, microporous filter, lower funnel and Page 7 of 19

6 up to 50 μm; greater than 50 μm up to 100 μm; greater than 100 μm Liquid sample preparation and counting filtration membrane preparation Prepare liquid samples as specified in ~ Select one filtration membrane of appropriate pore size in accordance with the minimum counting particle size; use tweezers to clamp the filtration membranes for soaking before place flatwise on the microporous filter Carry out liquid samples filtration and impurity collection as specified in ~ Use tweezers to take down the filtration membranes from the microporous filter and place flatwise in the weighing bottle Place the weighing bottles semi-openly in the thermostatic chamber for drying for 60 min at 60 C ± 5 C; then put on the cap for them before placing them into the desiccator for cooling for 30 min Counting procedure If the samples need to be assessed using the weighing method and the particle counting method in combination, the use the test filtration membrane as the counting filtration membrane and the control filtration membrane without counting Use tweezers to take out the counting membrane from the weighing bottle; place flatwise carefully on the filtration membrane fixer tray; put on the cover before mounting to the clamping device on the stage of the microscope In accordance with the minimum counting particle size, select the objective lens of appropriate power; carry out lightness adjustment and shade correction for the microscope; set the diameter of effective filtration area, diameter of counting area, size of minimum counting particle, size segment of counting particles and other parameters; carry out scanning, particle size measurement and quantity statistics for the counting filtration membranes Output measuring results in accordance with the assessment items. The assessment items may include but not limited to the total count of particles larger than the minimum counting size, the count of particles of all size segments, the count of reflective particles of all size segments and the count of non-reflective particles, the maximum particle size and so on If there is any dispute in the large particle size, the auxiliary function of the image analyser may be used to identify its morphology on the view screen; then the computer system may be used to remove the small overlapping particles for the staggered particles and then output the measuring results once again after processing.

C.1.2 When the weighing method is used in the measurement, carry out the blank experiment the weighing method as specified in ~ ; calculate the results of the blank experiment in accordance with Formula (1), including N taking value 1. C.1.3 When the particle counting method is used in the measurement, carry out the blank experiment for the particle counting method as specified in ~ and ~ , and assess the results of the blank experiment output for the required items in accordance with the cleanliness of the samples.

It is preferably to choose a red oxide as the tinting powder; add a certain amount of solvent; prepare the liquid sample in accordance with about 1 mg/l; fully shake and use supersonic generator for diffusion for 1 min. C.2.2 Mount and clamp a filtration membrane of pore size 1.2 μm in the filtration equipment; filter about 25 ml of the above-mentioned suspension liquid sample or other suspension liquid samples which are capable of tinting the filtration membranes clearly; and carry out vacuum filtration until the filtration membranes become dry. C.2.3 Open the clamping equipment; take down the filtration membranes from the microporous filter; measure the diameter of tinted area (effective filtration diameter) from 0.1 mm of the margin of the tinted filtration membranes. Calculate the effective filtration area (EFA) in accordance with the average value of at least two measurements in different directions; mark the upper funnel as appropriate; record the results in the corresponding calibration log sheets.
