Minutes -
Wim called the meeting to order at 11:05 am Eastern time, and he asked Jim Rutherford to review revision 3 of his analysis of the T-11 reference oil data. Jim's analysis is attached.

Following significant discussion of the "appropriate" correction factors, it was agreed to wait until we have 20 tests using the "new" T-12 style rings, and then hold a teleconference to address any possible revisions to the correction factors for soot at 12 cSt and 180 hour MRV. No correction factor is required for soot at 4 cSt or soot at 15 cSt. 
Going forward, Jeff Clark moved and Jim Moritz seconded that refernce calibration will be set using only soot at 12 cSt. Soot at 4 and 15 cSt will be reported and plotted for severity adjustments only, and the targets will be set using the current 16 tests with T-12 type rings. The motion passed with (9) positive, (0) negative and (1) waive.
Jeff will develop an information letter and a new report packet.
Following another discussion over how to apply any possible severity adjustments, it was decided that they will apply only to runs which were referenced and run using T-12 style rings. They specifically will not apply to runs made with "old" style rings.
Jim Rutherford offered to supply a set of tabulated data to Jeff to speed his analysis, and Jeff happily agreed to accept the data.

A discussion regarding the need for a "T-11A" test procedure to generate a sooted oil sample to run in an MRV test concluded that such a test is desirable. Jeff Clark suggested that such a test is best handled by putting it into an appendix to the T-11, similar to the T-8A test. That means there will be no separate T-11A calibration, and all tests must be run in a fully calibrated T-11 stand.
It was agreed that a soot window of 4.82 m% / 5.49 m% / 5.16 m% (min / max / target) will be set for the 180 hour point where the MRV sample is taken. Jeff will issue an information letter specifying these limits and noting that they only apply if a test does not reach the 192 hour point. If a test runs through 192 hours, that soot window will be used. 

Riccardo Conti reviewed the attached file noting that he had run a reference oil result where he deliberately bled-off intake manifold boost to reproduce operating conditions that are similar to the "most different" lab in the matrix. In spite of low manifold pressure and high CO2 and exhaust temperature, the soot result is essentially unchanged from the other two runs.
 
Riccardo's conclusion is that the operating conditions are robust enough that this change did not impact the results.

Jeff Clark reported that he now has "some" data on the T-10/T-12 correlation, and one more set of data is promised for this afternoon. As soon as the data is in hand, Jeff will "blind" the data and circulate for analysis.
Ron Buck reported that all T-10 kits have now been sent out from TEI and are in the hands of the test labs. This means that the T-10 lifetime is now finite. Consensus is that we should be able to discuss any available correlation data by mid-late February.

Wim suggested that we should also solicit correlation data among the T-8/T-8E and T-11 and the T-10A to T11A. Jeff agreed to develop data submission templates and circulate them to industry.
Steve Kennedy suggested that we should run TMC1004 in the T-11A (shorter test to save time) to develop correlation data, and he offered a run in the XOM lab.
Finally, Greg Shank asked all labs to contact him with information regarding their T-10 parts inventory,  their anticipated T-10 test activity and their willingness to sponser a T-11A test on TMC1004-3.

The meeting was adjourned (sort of) at 12:40 pm Eastern.
Respectfully submitted,
Pat
