This document specifies a test method using the high-frequency reciprocating rig (HFRR), for assessing the lubricating property of diesel fuels, including those fuels which could contain a lubricity‑enhancing additive. It defines two methods for measurement of the wear scar; Method “A” — Digital camera, and Method “B” — Visual observation.

This test method applies to fuels used in diesel engines.
