Military Lubricants

Setting the standard.

Overview of Capabilities

We take pride in being a leading authority in military specification testing. Our laboratory is equipped to conduct a diverse range of tests on lubricants, hydraulic oils, corrosion inhibitors, grease, aviation jet fuel, and various other fluids, making us one of the best-equipped labs in the world for testing hydrocarbon matrices.

Most military specifications include common ASTM and FTM test methods, while others include methods that are specific to a single product military specification. In cases where a test is obscure and we are not currently set up to perform the analysis, we are willing, experienced, and capable of setting up new custom testing. Some testing programs may require coordination or witnessing by entities such as the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) or other bodies. We regularly participate in these types of events and have open dialogue and a positive reputation with many of these agencies.

If you don’t see a specification that matches your needs, please contact us. We are always adding capabilities, willing to set up new methods, and have a large network of labs to collaborate with.
