description: Discusses the selection of bench tests and testing conditions to model the lubrication and wear properties of fluids used in industrial machines and components, such as compressors, pumps, chain drives, transmissions, and bearings. Based on a June 2000 symposium held in Seattle, the 23 papers are divided into sections on equipment lubrication correlation problems, test development, evaluation of bench test results, and simulation of tribological performance. Topics include the use of bench test to evaluate water-glycol hydraulic fluid lubrication, a spiral orbit rolling contact tribometer, a new device for traction measurement on ice, and corrosive wear testing of metals in seawater.
