Oxidation Stability Test Apparatus for Lubricating Greases

Oxidation Stability Test Apparatus for Lubricating Greases

Oxidation Bomb

Stainless steel bomb consists of body, lid with stem and needle valve, and dish holder per ASTM specifications. Bomb interior surfaces and inside of stem have a high polish to facilitate cleaning. Safely withstands a working pressure of 180psi (1241kPa) at 99°C (210°F). Includes PTFE gasket seals (3) and cap screws with wrench. PTFE fluorocarbon seals are available (see Accessories).

Pressure Measurement & Recording Equipment

Select mechanical pressure gauges or, for greater convenience and accuracy in test reporting, the Oxidata® Pressure Management System designed expressly for ASTM oxidation tests. Pressure gauge measures pressure inside Oxidation Bomb with accuracy of better than 0.5psi (3.45kPa) in accordance with ASTM specifications. Range: 0-160psi (0-1100kPa), graduated in 1psi intervals. Cleaned for oxygen service.

Oxidation Bath

Constant temperature oil bath holds bombs at the proper depth for determining oxidation stability of lubricating greases Fully digital touch screen controller provides quick temperature stabilization without overshoot, and the bath is protected by a redundant overtemperature control circuit that interrupts power should bath temperature exceed a programmed cut-off point. Display provides actual setpoint temperature values in °C/°F format. Contact your Koehler representative for information. Heavily insulated welded stainless steel bath interior has a bomb support rack and overflow standpipe/drain to maintain proper working depth. Steel exterior has a corrosion resistant polyurethane enamel finish

Description

The Automatic Cleveland Open Cup Flash Point Analyzer is the
latest addition to the Koehler Flash Tester family of products.
This unit is robustly designed using state-of-the-art technology to
allow for seamless testing in accordance with ASTM procedure.
The system software runs on an integrated processor PC running
the latest Windows operating system. The 10.4” touch screen
interface fully displays all operator parameters and results on a
single screen. Data results can be stored on the local hard drive.
An integrated Dual Fan System directly cools the test cup and the
environment around the cup.

Additional information

Test Method

The sample is oxidized in a bomb initially charged with oxygen at 110psi (758kPa) and maintained at elevated temperature for a specified aging period. The pressure drop inside the bomb is measured by means of a gauge or transducer.
