Phosphorus Volatility inGF4 Engine Tests Presentation for ASTM ESCITMay 4, 2006
Phosphorus VolatilitySummary and Recommendations • Can be determined using conventional UOA • Sequence VIB appears to show “reasonable” scale • Possibilities for “multitasking” of a GF5 engine test to also yield measures of P volatility should be investigated • Analogous to IIIGA and T10A • Not as an extra P/F criterion • Goal is efficient utilization of data
Another Important Point • There are substantial differences among ZDDP additives, both for P volatility and for antiwear performances • Recent OEM data compare a “Conventional” ZDDP versus a “Low Impact” ZDDP • Meaning of these terms are unclear • May be relevant to a single additive supplier
