Used Oil Testing with RPVOT from TestOil

Used Oil Testing with RPVOT from TestOil
The Rotating Pressure Vessel Oxidation Test (RPVOT) is a time-tested method for determining the oxidation stability of an oil. It is the most widely used indicator of a fluid’s oxidative resistance. Since it measures the existing resistance to oil oxidation rather than the oxidation that has already occurred, it is a predictive test. RPVOT is…

FTIR vs. RULER

FTIR vs. RULER
FTIR vs. RULER Let's start by explaining the FTIR index numbers and then we’ll get in to the correlation between tests. The indexing numbers actually refer to a unit of measure. The unit is absorbance/0.1mm. However, this unit of measure is not one that is intuitive to most people so the results are referenced as…

Testing Lubricants for Compatibility

Testing Lubricants for Compatibility
Testing Lubricants for Compatibility TestOil offers lubricant compatibility analysis using ASTM D 7155 as the guideline for compatibility testing. If test results show signs of minor incompatibility you must evaluate the potential impact. Do the mixtures show a decreased ability to resist oxidation? Will this result in a shortened lubricant life and therefore increased cost…
