Sulphated ash content serves as a crucial indicator of the amount of metallic detergents and other inorganic components present in engine oil formulations. These components,
The Noack volatility test is an indispensable tool in the lubricant sector, offering a meticulous assessment of oil’s evaporative loss when subjected to elevated temperatures.
The Four Ball Wear Test, outlined in ASTM D4172 and D2266, is a crucial evaluation for lubricants, focusing on their wear-prevention properties in steel-on-steel sliding
FZG Gear Testing, where FZG stands for “Forschungsstelle für Zahnräder und Getriebebau” – the technical Institute for the study of gears and drive mechanisms in
Pour point depressants are oil additives that improve flow at low temperatures. They prevent oil from thickening and help ensure proper circulation at cold start-up
Rust and corrosion can cause significant damage to engine components and reduce part lifetimes. Rust inhibitors are oil additives that help prevent this corrosive damage
Engine oils use a range of anti-wear additives to protect critical components from wear damage during operation. Anti-wear additives form protective films on metal surfaces
Brookfield viscometers are widely used to measure the viscosity and flow properties of lubricating oils at different temperatures and shear rates. The results provide key
Oil detergents are additive components that help keep engines clean by neutralizing acids and preventing deposit buildup. Detergents disperse and suspend contaminants so they can
Engine oil experiences high temperatures and pressures, which can cause the oil to oxidize or degrade over time. Antioxidant additives help guard against oxidation and
