K29200 Micro-Oxidation Bath

 

Test Method
Evaluates oxidation stability, thermal stability and volatility of greases, lubricant base oils, additives and natural oils by use of a micro-reactor. The sample is placed on the surface of a polished steel coupon (or glass disk for grease samples) and subjected to a metered air flow at constant temperature.

Features and Benefits
• Conforms to ASTM Draft Method

• Uses micro-reactors and a five-place temperature controlled bath

• Measures oil volatility and oxidative evaporation loss

• For oxidation deposit studies and deposit screening

• Test results correlate with IIIE Engine Test

 

K29200 Micro-Oxidation Bath
Micro-oxidation system includes steel test coupons, borosilicate glass micro-reactors and constant temperature aluminum block bath with flowmeters. Five-position bath maintains samples with ±0.1°C accuracy in the range from 100°C to 300°C. Bath control has digital set and display of temperature and a high temperature alarm setting for safe operation. A built-in flowmeter with regulating valve for each sample cell maintains oxygen flow at the required rate of 20mL per minute.
