A new parameter called the Galling50 value is proposed to provide a statistically relevant measure of galling resistance. The Galling50 value represents the stress value where galling is expected to occur in 50% of the specimens tested. Galling50 is determined from the analysis of a series of tests that measure the probability of galling at different applied stresses. A method for graphically representing experimental galling data is presented. A sigmoidal function is used to mathematically represent the overall performance of the galling results. Similar to previous test methods, the proposed method provides a single parameter for reporting galling resistance results, making it suitable for comparison between different materials and test conditions. Test results for type 303, 304, and 316 stainless steels are given as an example of the testing and data reduction technique.

The performance and basic rating life of rotating contact ball bearings have increased substantially over recent years, but the performance of radial lip seals, designed to protect these bearings against the ingress of contaminants, has not. In particular, the failure of the lip seals used to protect self-lubricating ball bearings has been identified as a major cause of bearing failure. To understand in detail the mechanisms of failure, these bearings and seals have to be assessed by performing carefully controlled experimental tests. As elastomeric lip seals are intrinsically sensitive to test conditions, their performance is often subject to statistical scatter. Therefore, the design of test rigs to carry out this research is vital so as to eliminate as many unwanted variables as possible. Typical test rigs and the usual tests previously carried out by the major bearing manufacturers are detailed, and the performance of both the test rigs and the seals are discussed. A new radial lip seal test rig, designed specifically for assessing seal performance is shown, and improved test methods and data logging are detailed. Typical lip seal test results are presented and analysed. The aim of this work is to characterize empirically lip seal behaviour under both contaminated and uncontaminated conditions, enabling a deeper understanding of lip seal performance to aid future improved lip seal designs to be formulated.

There are many methods of testing elastic wave velocities of engineering rockmass such as the elastic wave penetration test between adits, elastic wave test on the adit wall and the borehole sonic method etc, but the test results vary with different test methods. It is important to understand and apply appropriately the test results. Based on the field tests, the characteristics of elastic wave velocities under different test methods are studied. The research indicates that the main influence factors of different test methods on wave velocities include the rockmass occurrence environments and the test conditions. For the elastic wave penetration test between adits, the rockmass occurrence environments are basically unchanged, and the influences of the test conditions are little, so the wave velocity obtained by this method is more scientific. The study results are important for the reasonable evaluation of engineering rockmass.

Testing repeat electronic scales with non-automatic scales technical requirements so far is fairly long if not using a calculator or computer. The aim of this research is to compare the repeatability testing method of electronic scales using methods according to the technical requirements of non-automatic scales and the Australian NMI method, both of which refer to OIML R76 in determining the validity or cancellation of electronic scales repeatability testing. This research method is done through repeat testing on 3 samples of electronic scales, then on each electronic scale 2 test methods are performed. The conclusion is that the electronic scales repeatability testing uses the non-automatic scales technical requirements method and the Australian NMI method has some differences although both refer to OIML R76. These differences include several points, namely the charge used, the method of adding additions, the formula for determining electronic scales, and different test results. The Australian NMI method is deemed to make it easier and more time efficient compared to the non-automatic weighing technical requirements method.

Chip seal bleeding is influenced by many factors, including design inputs, material properties, and project-specific conditions. It reduces the surface texture of the pavement and thus compromises the safety of the traveling public. Even though factors that bring about premature bleeding are known, currently, no laboratory test methods for evaluating bleeding in chip seals have been specified. The objective of this paper is to present the results of an investigation of the influence factors of asphalt emulsion residue properties measured by the ASTM D7405 multiple stress creep and recovery (MSCR) test, as well as other factors related to chip seal bleeding resistance as measured by the modified loaded wheel test (MLWT). In this study, the MSCR test was used as a tool for evaluating the performance of asphalt emulsions because it has been identified as a potential test related to bleeding in the field. In addition, MLWT was selected as a tool for evaluating chip seal bleeding performance in the laboratory. The results of the MLWT showed that the emulsion application rate (EAR), aggregate gradation, and emulsion properties were significant factors affecting bleeding. The MSCR test was found to be a promising tool for the performance evaluation of asphalt emulsion residue, as the test was able to differentiate between emulsion chemistries and modifications in terms of sensitivity to both temperature and stress. In relation to chip seal bleeding resistance, only the creep compliance (Jnr) obtained from the MSCR test results was identified as a significant property affecting potential for bleeding.

Shock test of marine diesel engine is the important content for ship anti-shock research. Plentiful shock tests of equipments have been carried out abroad, but there is no detailed test methods of diesel engine. According to simulation results, 8-channel acceleration test points are determined. Because diesel engine is working, the measured shock acceleration is interfered by vibration signal. Orthogonal wavelet decomposition and wavelet noise reduction methods are used to separate shock component from test results. The seperated shock component consists of two parts. One is the low-frequency part caused by the shock from diesel foundation and then attenuation through the isolator, the other is the high-frequency part caused by the secondary shock of the retainer.

Conventional tensile test methods are used for service exposed high temperature boiler tubes to evaluate the deterioration in mechanical properties such as tensile strength, yield strength and percentage elongation. The mechanical properties are required to be evaluated periodically as the boiler components undergo material degradation due to aging phenomena. The aging phenomena occurs due to continuous exposure of tubes to high temperature & pressure steam prevailing inside the tubes and high temperature exposure to corrosive combustible gases from the external surfaces within the boiler.A recent developed new technique called small punch testing has been used to evaluate the tensile properties of SA 213T22 grade steel predominantly exists in super-heater and re-heater sections of boiler. The small punch tests have been carried out on the miniature disk shaped specimens of diameter of 8.0 mm and 0.5 mm thickness extracted from both the new and service exposed tubes. Conventional uniaxial tensile tests on standard specimens from the same tube material have also been performed for comparison. The service exposed tubes showed considerable loss in mechanical properties in both the conventional and small punch test results. Correlations of tensile properties have been obtained based on the comparative analysis of both small punch and uniaxial tensile test results. Further, the study showed that an appropriate empirical relation could be generated for new and service exposed materials between both the techniques. Conventional test methods require large quantity of material removal for test samples from in-service components whereas small punch test method needs only a miniature sample extraction. This small punch test technique could also be extended to evaluate the thicker section boiler components such as pipelines and headers in the boiler as a part of remaining life assessment study. Also this technique could be a useful tool to any metallic component where large quantity of sample removal may be difficult or may not be feasible.

Two bolts of cotton duck fabric that meet military specifications and the purchasing guidelines described by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for use as a substrate in "Test Methods for Quantifying the Propensity of Cigarettes to Ignite Soft Furnishings" were tested with smoldering cigarettes to determine the effect of inter-bolt variations on cigarette ignition propensity test outcome. The test was designed around an ASTM method that calls for the control of all known test variables, except for those inherent to the fabric's manufacture. The ignitability of each fabric was determined by testing two sets of 48 replications for each of two experimental cigarettes. The two bolts of cotton duck fabric showed a statistically significant difference in ignitions, independent of environmental and experimental fac tors. Two additional bolts of cotton duck #4 were analyzed. Cigarette ignition test results and the physical parameters of the additional bolts offer evidence that the NIST specifications are difficult to meet and further that test results are extremely sensitive to fabric properties.

Summary DIN EN ISO 16891:2016 “Test methods for evaluating the degradation of characteristics of cleanable filter media“ is the first standard in Germany that takes into account the thermal and chemical ageing of the filter media and stipulates how they are to be tested. These normative specifications were to be implemented as part of a research project. However, the boundary test conditions proved to be general conditions and many other details were not described in the standard. This is why, as well as there being many safety aspects, the filter testing has so far only been partially implemented. Uniform loading of several samples at the normal filter flow velocities used in practice could not be implemented. Doubt exists with regard to the comparability of the results of the tests that were based on the standard in its current form at different test institutes.

Strain controlled constant and variable amplitude fatigue tests for 316NG and Titanium stabilized stainless steels in low oxygen PWR waters were performed. The stabilized steel has been plant aged for 100 000 hours. Constant amplitude test results at 0,01 Hz sinusoidal straining comply with predicted lives according to the Fen approach for both materials. Spectrum straining both in air and in environment caused predicted life reduction factors (about 3) for the stabilized steel, but for the 316NG steel spectrum straining in environment resulted to a larger reduction in life.
