Scope:

ASTM D 4310 - Determination of the Sludging and Corrosion Tendencies of Inhibited Mineral Oils having a specific gravity less than that of water and containing rust and oxidation inhibitors.

Use: For inhibited mineral oil based steam turbine lubricants, mineral oil based anti-wear hydraulic oils and circulating oils to corrode copper catalyst metal and to form sludge during oxidation in the presence of oxygen, water, and copper and iron metals. This test may indicate that the oil will form insoluble or corrode metals, or both, during field service.
