Advanced Foaming Test According to ASTM D892This equipment strictly adheres to the ASTM D892 standard, offering precise evaluation of oils foaming characteristics using four test cylinders. The process simulates real-world conditions, ensuring the lubricating oil meets industry benchmarks for reducing operational issues in machinery and engines caused by foaming.
Reliable Power Supply for ConsistencyFeaturing a 230 volts, 50 Hz single phase AC supply, the instrument delivers stable operation in any well-equipped laboratory. This ensures consistency and repeatability in test results, which is vital for accurate quality assurance and control across multiple oil samples.
FAQs of Foaming Characteristics of Lubricating Oil - Astm D892(Four Test Cylinders):
Q: How is the foaming characteristics test conducted using this instrument?
A: The test is carried out by introducing air into a lubricating oil sample in four cylinders under controlled conditions, as specified by ASTM D892. The tendency to form and dissipate foam is then measured, providing insight into the oils behavior during actual use.
Q: What are the benefits of assessing foam formation in lubricating oils?
A: Understanding foaming characteristics helps to prevent machinery malfunctions caused by excessive foam. Testing with this equipment ensures that lubricating oils meet quality standards, ultimately improving engine efficiency and operational safety.
Q: When should the ASTM D892 foaming test be performed?
A: This test is recommended whenever a new batch of lubricating oil is produced, before regulatory certification, or during routine quality control, ensuring the oil consistently meets performance requirements.
Q: Where can this foaming characteristics tester be used?
A: The device is ideal for use in petroleum laboratories, quality control departments, research institutes, and by manufacturers who require verification of oil specifications. It is suitable for facilities operating in India and abroad.
Q: What is the process for operating this testing equipment?
A: The instrument is connected to a 230-volt, 50 Hz, single-phase AC supply. Oil samples are placed in the four test cylinders and subjected to the ASTM D892 protocol, which involves introducing air and measuring foam formation and break-down under specified conditions.
Q: How does using this tester support petroleum industry operations?
A: By facilitating accurate evaluation of foaming tendencies, this tester helps ensure that lubricating oils do not compromise equipment efficiency. It supports ongoing compliance with international standards and aids manufacturers, exporters, and suppliers in providing quality-assured products.
