We perform lubricants quality testing by FTM 3403 to measure the compatibility of turbine lubricants using a 7-day process and a centrifuge. Mixtures of the lubricants are heated at a fixed temperature for seven days and then spun in a centrifuge to find the average volume of sediment. We also perform compatibility testing by ASTM D7752, MIL-G-81322 […]

We perform grease quality testing by FTM 321 to determine the tendency of the oil in lubricating grease to separate at high temperatures. The grease sample is heated in a wire-gauze cone for 30 hours at a constant temperature, and the percentage by weight of the oil drained through the cone is measured […]

We perform grease quality testing by FTM 313 to determine the consistency of lubricating greases that have been subjected to severe mechanical working. Contact us today to receive a quote for your grease testing.

We perform particulate contamination testing by FTM 3013 to measure particulate contamination in synthetic turbine engine lubricating oils. FTM 3013 is a gravimetric procedure for testing turbine lubricants. The oil sample is filtered through a very fine membrane filter; the weight of contamination left on the filter is compared to the volume of the sample […]
