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 […]
Read MoreISO 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 […]
Read MoreISO 13357 (Filterability of Lubricating Oils with Water)
We perform lubricants quality testing by ISO 13357 to measure how well different lubricating oils can pass through a filter. Contact us today to receive a quote for your lubricants testing.
Read MoreIP 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 […]
Read MoreHigh 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 […]
Read MoreFTM 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 […]
Read MoreFTM 6052 (High Temperature High Pressure Spray Ignition)
We perform the high-temperature high-pressure spray ignition by FTM 6052 to measure the relative flammability of liquids. The test sample is forced through a small opening and the technician attempts to ignite the spray with a torch and notes the characteristics of the resulting flame. Contact us today to receive a quote for […]
Read MoreFTM 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.
Read MoreFTM 5414 (Resistance of Grease to Fuel)
We perform lubricating grease quality testing by FTM 5414 to determine the resistance of grease to the solvent action of fuel. The grease is immersed in fuel for a length of time and then examined for physical changes. Contact us today to receive a quote for your grease testing.
