Paliers lisses — Essai des paliers lisses dans les conditions de lubrification hydrodynamique et mixte dans des machines d'essai pour paliers

This document defines requirements for the testing of lubricated plain journal bearings in test rigs, running under conditions of hydrodynamic or mixed lubrication, during bearing and/or material development. It deals with both static and dynamic loading in solid and multi-layer journal bearings. It is not applicable to the testing of dynamic characteristics of lubricant film in journal bearings applied in calculation of vibration and stability of turbo-rotors.

NOTE It is intended that further details of test procedures be established when carrying out testing based on this document.
