Thermal Oxidation Stability

The article presents the results of tests of the oxidation resistance of 26 samples of selected lubricating greases available on the market. Various types of lubricant samples (according to the type of thickener), produced with oils of different chemical nature and viscosity, were tested. The basic parameters of the greases were determined: the worked penetration and the dropping point. Two different test methods were used to determine the thermal oxidation stability: the classical oxidation method according to PN-C-04143 and the rapid small-scale test method according to ASTM D 8206. The method of determining the correlation between these methods was presented. A correlation was found between the two methods of testing the resistance to oxidation, which can be roughly described using the exponential dependence. For the quick method, better compliance with the classical method was obtained at 140°C than at 160°C, which is confirmed by the determination coefficients determined by the ranking method. Based on the results of the quick method, using the determined exponential dependency, the results of the classical method can be estimated. However, the determined correlation between the PN-C-04143 and ASTM D 8206 methods is insufficient to use these methods interchangeably.

SummarySix lyophilized plasma samples were sent to 20 “expert” laboratories for assessment of lupus anticoagulant (LA). Four samples contained pooled LA of graded potency mixed with aged normal plasma. One contained LA plus cephalin phospholipid and one contained a nonspecific venom anticoagulant. Sixteen methods were used overall with some participants using up to 8 methods. Results were scored in regard to the known potencies of LA in the samples and other known induced defects.Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) tests used by most participants for preliminary screening were relatively sensitive, but non-specific. Platelet or phospholipid neutralization procedures (PNP) appeared to be sensitive and specific but showed a non-linear response to increased LA content. Kaolin clotting time (KCT) tests showed the most sensitive response to increased LA content but the weaker LA were not scored as abnormal by most laboratories as the samples may have contained platelet fragments. Other commonly used tests such as the tissue thromboplastin inhibition (TTI) test and the dilute Russell’s viper venom test (DRVVT) were carried out somewhat inconsistently. The variability in performance of tests in different laboratories indicates that standardization of methodology is urgently required.Generally it seemed that most clotting tests were “bypassed” by the addition of phospholipid to a known LA-positive sample in apparently direct proportion to their sensitivity. Sample preparation, especially prevention of contamination with activated platelets is a vital preliminary part in the assay of LA.
