Fuels & Lubricants Testing Capabilities

MIL-PRF-16173 (Corrosion Preventive Compound, Solvent Cutback, Cold-Application)

We perform testing by military specification by MIL-PRF-16173, which covers general purpose solvent-dispersed corrosion preventive compounds.  The following is a list of tests required by Specification MIL-PRF-16173E. Some of these tests are customized for this exact specification. We specialize in unusual and custom testing, and our testing capabilities are continuing to expand; […]

ISO 11500

*PLEASE NOTE: Sample must be received in a sterile container separate from any sample for additional testing to prevent contamination* We perform quality testing by ISO 11500 to determine the particulate contamination in hydraulic fluid using a liquid automatic particle counter (APC). The APC works on the light extinction principle, and has […]

ISO 4406 & 11500 (Particle Size & Count)

*PLEASE NOTE: Sample must be received in a sterile container separate from any sample for additional testing to prevent contamination* We perform lubricants quality testing by ISO 4406 to measure the particle contamination in hydraulic fluids. The final results are reported using a scale showing particle contamination in certain ranges depending on […]

IP 313 (Air Release Properties)

We perform lubricants quality testing by IP 313 to measure the ability of turbine, hydraulic, and gear oils to separate from air mixed with the oil. During the test, compressed air is blown through the heated oil sample. The time required for the volume of air in the oil to reduce to a […]

High Temperature Deposition Test (HTDT)

We perform the High Temperature Deposition Test to evaluate the oil coking of aviation lubricants. The sample is run on an SPL instrument that simulates lubricant flow through hot section lines. The test results are assessed by the weight and type of deposit formed by running the liquid sample over the outside of a […]

FTM 7502 (Soil Cleaning Test)

We perform testing by FTM 7502 to determine the cleaning power of solvents that have been subjected to soiled mechanical parts. This test procedure involves applying a small amount of grease to a steel coupon, which is then immersed in the solvent sample and placed in an unltrasonic cleaner maintained at up […]

FTM 5415 (Grease Solubility)

We perform grease quality testing by FTM 5415 to measure the resistance of lubricating grease to the solvent action of water. The grease is stored in water and a water-ethanol solution for a week and then examined for disintegration. Contact us today to receive a quote for your grease testing.
