4.4.4. Test /Reference Coolant Introduction 4.4.4.1. Measure out two (2) liters (0.53 gallons) of well mixed coolant (50/50 antifreeze/ water b.v.). Carefully pour the coolant into the test capsule making sure not to move the test specimens. 4.4.4.2. Verify (visually) that the test capsule o-ring protrudes above the o-ring groove to confirm sealing. If needed, install a new test capsule o-ring seal (Cummins P/N 3678737) in the groove at the top of the test capsule. Install capscrews and tighten. 4.4.5. Ageing Fluid ageing shall be in accordance with ASTM D 471 with the exception being the use of a test capsule as the ageing vessel. See Figure 1: Photo of Test Capsule on page 11. At the end of the first week, third week and sixth week ageing periods, the test capsule shall be removed from the oven and cooled to room temperature before opening. ATTENTION: DO NOT open the test capsule when it is hot. Opening the test capsule when it is hot could result in steam burns to the operator. Cooling the sealed test capsule in water will expedite the cool-down period. When the capsule is cooled to room temperature, it may be opened. 4.4.6. Tensile Strength and Elongation 4.4.6.1. Test Specimens Tensile strength/elongation specimens shall be cut from vulcanized sheet material (normally 152.4 mm (6 inches) square x 2.03 mm (0.080 inches) thick), in accordance with ASTM D 3182, using ASTM D 412, die D. Three specimens of each of the four (4) elastomers (per Section 4.4.1.4. on page 10) are required for each of the test intervals (test intervals: 0 weeks (3 samples); 1 week (3 samples), 3 weeks (3 samples); and 6 weeks (3 samples) = 12 samples total). The specimens may be marked by clipping 0, 1, 2, or corners off to correspond with each of the four (4) elastomer compounds. 4.4.6.2. Test Procedure The test procedure shall be in accordance with ASTM D 412 except the specimens shall be aged in coolant in accordance with the following paragraphs Sections 4.4.6.2.1. on page 19 through 4.4.6.2.2. on page 19

4.4.6.2.1. Immersion ageing shall be conducted by placing the tensile specimens into the test capsule with the specified engine coolant solution for the times and temperatures indicated in Section 4.4.1.3. on page 10. The specimens should be placed on the compression set fixtures to allow coolant contact of both sides of the specimen (refer to Section 4.4.3. Placement of Test Specimens in the Test Capsule on page 13). 4.4.6.2.2. After the test capsule has cooled to room temperature, open the lid and remove the tensile specimens. Wipe or blot (using a clean paper towel) excess coolant from the surfaces of the individual rubber specimens. Retain specimens for tensile testing in accordance with ASTM D 412. 4.4.7. Hardness For hardness testing, stack up the three (3) tensile test specimens before the tensile test is performed. Measure hardness near the middle of the grip tab at each end of the tensile specimen stack and record both values. Use ASTM D 2240 test method using a Durometer A measuring device either hand-held or with Type 1 or Type 2 operating stands. 4.4.8. Volume and Mass (Weight) Change The test specimens shall be 19.05 mm x 6.35 mm ( in. x in.) pieces cut from the test slabs. Three specimens shall be used for each elastomer compound and the same specimens shall be used for measurements at 0, 168, 504, and 1008 hours. Other than these exceptions, use ASTM D 471 Test Method. (It is suggested that the samples of the four (4) compounds be identified by the number of corners clipped off the test specimen-(0, 1, 2, or 3). Specimens 1 and 2 of the same compound can be marked by a notch cut in one of them.) 4.4.9. Compression Set 4.4.9.1. Test Specimens Compression set testing shall be performed on vulcanized sheet material 152.4 mm (6 inches) x 152.4 mm (6 inches) x 2.03 mm (0.080 inches) thick in accordance with ASTM D 3182). Five 6.35 mm (0.25 inches) x 6.35 mm (0.25 inches) specimens are required for each of the three (168, 504, 1008) test intervals. Do not use the same five specimens for all three test intervals.

4.4.9.2. Test Equipment 4.4.9.2.1. Unique test equipment (not included in ASTM D 395) is required. The test equipment shall be in accordance with Figure 7: Small Bolt Compression Set Fixture (Assembled) on page 21, Figure 8: Small Bolt Compression Set Fixture (Unassembled) on page 22, and Figure 9: Compression Set Fixture Components on page 23. Fresh test specimen shall be used for each aging period. 4.4.9.2.2. The equipment in ASTM D 395 in addition to the test fixture referenced in Section 4.4.9.2.1. will be used to perform compression set testing. This test fixture will replace the larger flat plate compression device referenced in ASTM D 395, Method B. This smaller bolt fixture is more conducive to testing the smaller non-button (from sheet) specimens required in Section 4.4.9.1. Test Specimens on page 19 and easily fits within the coolant test capsules and allows multiple test specimens. 4.4.9.2.3. The critical features of the Small Bolt Compression Fixture are the stiff compression plates which are machined flat with parallel surfaces (see Figure 9: Compression Set Fixture Components on page 23). The plate thickness and overall diameter can exceed the referenced dimensions (0.18 in. and 1.4 in. respectively) if desired. A 9.525 mm (3/8 inch) steel bolt and nut are required to provide the clamping force. An assortment of machined and ground, flat parallelsurface steel washers of uniform thickness within a narrow tolerance shall be available for use as spacers to provide the compression (reference Section 4.4.9.3.2. on page 27) of the elastomeric specimens, based on the initial thickness, as indicated in ASTM D 395. Multiple steel washers may be stacked together to obtain the required spacer thickness. The plates, spacer, nut, and bolts shall all be fabricated from the same grade of steel.

4.4.9.3.2. Determine the required spacer thickness to achieve approximately 25% compression of the specimens. (Reference ASTM D 395 and Figure 9: Compression Set Fixture Components on page 23.) Obtain the required flat steel spacers; multiple steel washers can be stacked together to obtain the required spacer thickness. Measure thickness of actual washer or stack of washers used to the nearest 0.0254 mm (0.001 in.) and record as ts (spacer thickness). 4.4.9.3.3. Insert the single bolt through the bottom compression set plate and the washers which will be used as spacers per Figure 8: Small Bolt Compression Set Fixture (Unassembled) on page 22. 4.4.9.3.4. Place the five test samples, evenly spaced apart, onto the bottom plate as shown in Figure 8: Small Bolt Compression Set Fixture (Unassembled) on page 22. 4.4.9.3.5. Carefully lower the top plate over the bolt and bring to rest on the five test samples. Screw on the nut and snug down onto top compression plate. Using appropriately sized wrenches, firmly tighten the bolted assembly. An acceptably tight assembly can be verified by ensuring that the spacers are tightly held in place and cannot be moved with a thin rigid probe. 4.4.9.3.6. Age the specimens in the specified engine coolant solution for the times and temperature indicated (per Section 4.4.1. General on page 9). Immersion ageing shall be conducted by placing the assembled small bolt compression set fixtures into the test capsule as referenced in Section 4.4.3. Placement of Test Specimens in the Test Capsule on page 13 and shown in Figure 6: Placement of Compression Set Fixtures in Test Capsule on page 17. The capsule lids shall be checked to confirm that the lids are securely affixed in order to prevent leaking of fluid and pressure. 4.4.9.3.7. After ageing 1 week, 3 weeks and 6 weeks, disassemble the small bolt compression set fixtures and wipe or blot (with a clean paper towel) excess coolant from the surfaces of the individual rubber specimens. Allow rubber specimens to set on a room temperature surface [23 2 C (73.4 3.6 F)], such as a laboratory bench top for at least 30 minutes as an equilibration period (up to 4 hours is acceptable). 4.4.9.3.8. After the equilibration period, measure the thickness of all five samples in the approximate center of each specimen to the nearest 0.0254 mm (0.001 in.). Calculate the average of all five readings and record as tf (final thickness).

Field Testing (EQ 1)

Refer to Figure A3: Field Testing Form C on page 39, Figure A4: Key Component Inspection, Form D on page 40, and Figure A5: Coolant and Oil Inspection, Form E on page 41 for reporting format. 4.5.1. Field testing shall typically be performed in engines (e.g., ISM and ISX) installed in heavy duty on-highway trucks. Fleets in this type of application are more likely to have the larger number of identical units which are required, and also have a high utilization factor for more rapid completion of the test. 4.5.2. Field testing shall be performed by the coolant supplier. Cummins Materials Engineering shall be requested to participate in the development, review and approval of the test plan for compliance to the field test requirements for this specification. However, the test plan and its ability to fulfill the requirements of this specification are the Supplier's responsibility. The intent of the field test is to determine the effectiveness of the coolant and its replenishment system to engine/application specific issues and to identify any unforeseen problems with new coolant chemistry. 4.5.3. Materials Engineering of Cummins Inc. shall document the suppliers test plan in a proprietary Cummins Technical Report.

This test assesses the effectiveness of the coolant to protect aluminum surfaces which are involved in high heat transfer from corrosion and reduce deposit formation. This test assesses the corrosiveness of the coolant under circulating conditions which is a more aggressive situation than the Glassware Testing D 1384.

Water Pump Cavitation
