Authors: Shaub H 
Published: April 2008

Description
STP 1388 examines 11 peer-review papers that focus on the latest issues involved in oil flow related engine operation at low temperatures in modern engines (lubricated with modern oils), and provides a good basis for future specification development.

The first seven papers in STP 1388 explore the results of the ASTM Low Temperature Engine Performance (LTEP) task force, which addressed some of the following concerns:
• To determine if modern engines start on average at lower temperatures than earlier engines designs do
• To determine if there a "safety margin" between limiting cranking and pumping viscosities in modern engines
• To determine the cranking and pumping limitations of single grade (non-VI improved) engine oils
• To assess the benefits and limitations of current methods for identifying oils that could result in pumpability failure in engines.
The remaining papers address future challenges in the area of pumpability or address work conducted outside the ASTM LTEP Program.

Bench Testing of Industrial Fluid Lubrication and Wear Properties Used in Machinery Applications
Authors: Totten GE , Wedeven LD , Anderson M , Dickey JR 
Published: April 2008

Description
STP 1404 addresses various aspects of bench test selections and limitations, along with lubrication and wear simulations. Bench tests are commonly used to evaluate the lubrication and wear properties of industrial fluids when used in various types of machinery.

This book attempts to address this problem.
23 peer-reviewed papers cover:
Problems of Bench Testing--discusses various difficulties associated with bench test selection, particularly as the test results correlate with equipment lubrication. Some suggestions to address equipment lubrication correlation problems are: selection of appropriate test conditions, development of custom-made test equipment, and use of lubrication and wear simulations to identify appropriate test conditions.
Bench Tests and Test Development--examines proper design considerations and model validations to successfully apply bench tests in lubrication and wear analysis.
