Foaming Characteristic Apparatus | Testing the Foaming Tendency and Stability of Lubricants

DESCRIPTION / TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Ensure the superior performance of your lubricant products with our Foaming Characteristic Apparatus. This essential laboratory instrument is specifically designed to evaluate the foaming characteristics of lubricating oils by empirically rating their foaming tendency and the stability of the foam produced. An oil's ability to resist foaming is crucial for preventing pump cavitation, oxidation, and a loss of lubrication effectiveness. This apparatus is engineered to perform tests in strict accordance with the ASTM D892 international standard method.

Precision in testing is guaranteed through an advanced digital temperature control system. The instrument is capable of maintaining the two standard-required test temperatures, 24°C and 93.5°C, with high precision (±0.5°C). Supported by a reliable Pt100 sensor and an electric motor agitator (1250 turns/min) to ensure uniform bath temperature, this device creates stable and repeatable testing conditions. Furthermore, four integrated groups of flowmeters allow the operator to easily control and observe the flow of the experimental gas.

Designed for the modern, productive laboratory, this apparatus is equipped with a two-hole design, enabling the parallel and simultaneous testing of two samples. This feature significantly improves work efficiency and your lab's throughput. Safety is also a top priority; the heating output is controlled by a solid-state relay (SSR) that operates without contact and is sparkless, providing essential safety and reliability when working with heated oils.

With its robust construction, including a stainless steel heating element for fast heating and a long service life, this apparatus is a reliable and easy-to-operate solution. The flexible digital control panel makes test setup straightforward. For lubricant blenders, engine manufacturers, and quality control laboratories, this instrument is a mandatory device to ensure that lubricant products provide maximum protection without detrimental foaming issues.
