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 […]
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.
Read MoreFTM 5329 (Rust Protection, Humidity Cabinet)
We perform oil quality testing by FTM 5329 to determine the effectiveness of corrosion-inhibiting oils and compounds under high humidity conditions. This test is similar to ASTM D1748 – Rust Protection. Sample quantity required: 500ml Contact us today to receive a quote for your lubricants testing.
Read MoreFTM 5321 (Corrosion, Lead (SOD))
We perform oil quality testing by FTM 5321 to measure the corrosive effect of lubricating oils on lead; this is called a lead corrosion test. Contact us today to receive a quote for your lubricants testing.
Read MoreFTM 5309 (Copper Strip Corrosion, Grease)
We perform lubricating grease quality testing by FTM 5309 to determine the corrosive properties of grease at high temperatures. A copper strip is placed in the heated grease sample for twenty-four hours and then examined for evidence of corrosion. Contact us today to receive a quote for your grease testing.
Read MoreFTM 5308 (Corrosion & Oxidation Stability of Light Oils)
We perform lubricants quality testing by FTM 5308 to determine the oxidation resistance and corrosivity of highly refined light oils and hydraulic oils. Sample quantity required: 400 ml Contact us today to receive a quote for your lubricants testing.
Read MoreFTM 5307 (Corrosion & Oxidation of Aircraft Turbine Lubricants)
We perform lubricants quality testing by FTM 5307 to measure the resistance of lubricants to oxidation and their tendency to corrode various metals. This test simulates the environment encountered by fully formulated lubricating fluids in actual service. Sample quantity required: 300 ml Contact us today to receive a quote for your lubricants testing.
