Manual 62, ASTM Handbook of Automotive Lubricants and Testing, addresses major issues and current development status of automotive lubricant test methods.
This new ASTM manual features 30 chapters that provide a comprehensive overview of various lubrication aspects of a typical powertrain system including the engine, transmission, driveline, chassis and other components.
Topics included in Manual 62 include advanced lubrication and tribochemistry of the powertrain system, such as diesel fuel lubrication, specialized automotive lubricant testing development, filtration testing of automotive lubricants, lubrication of constant velocity joints, and biodegradable automotive lubricants. Major chapters in book cover:
• Automotive tribology systems;
• Automotive engine lubricant tests and specifications;
• Transmission fluids;
• Gear oils and grease;
• Automotive bench test simulation and tribological bench tests;
