Fuels & Lubricants Testing Capabilities

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.

FTM 5305 (Corrosiveness of Lubricants)

We perform lubricants quality testing by FTM 5305 to measure the corrosive tendencies of lubricants on bronze, copper, and silver at high temperatures. We also perform copper corrosion testing by ASTM D1275, ASTM D130, ASTM D4048, DIN 51811, IP 315, ISO 2160, ISO 5662, and MIL-PRF-372 §4.3.2. These different test methods use different instruments or procedures or are used for […]
