The ability of a lubricating oil to separate from water and resist emulsification is an important performance characteristic for applications involving water contamination and turbulence. Water separability is determined by stirring equal volumes of water and sample together at a controlled temperature to form an emulsion and observing the time required for separation of the emulsion to occur. This method is suitable for petroleum oils and synthetic fluids.

Optional sensor for direct measurement of sample temperature.
The Lovibond Colour and AOCS-Tintometer Colour scales are popular quantitative methods of colour measurement that have gained widespread international acceptance, particularly with processors of oils and oil derivatives.
In addition, certain product sectors have adopted one-dimensional scales such as Gardner and FAC Colour to simplify colour control when the range of sample colours involves varying intensities of a single hue.
To satisfy the diverse requirements for colour data, the Lovibond PFX995/950/880 series of high-precision, spectrophotometric colorimeters offers a choice of more than 20 colour scales. The standard versions vary from focussed instruments for Lovibond Colour or AOCS-Tintometer Colour through to a flexible, full-scale package.
Additional scales can be added as optional upgrades, either at the time of purchase or at a later date.
The Titra-Lube laboratory method is run as follows:
A sample of the lubricant to be tested is weighed out into a disposable test tube. The amount of sample used in grams is determined by dividing 16 by the expected TBN value of the sample. The maximum amount of sample to be used is 2 grams.
The tube is filled to a 5 mL line with a high flash point hydrocarbon based solvent and the tube is capped and shaken until the sample is totally dissolved.
3.1.5 mL of 0.40 M isopropyl HCl is added to the tube and it is shaken for 30 seconds.
12 mL of aqueous extract solution is added and the mixture shaken for 30 seconds.
The two phases are allowed to separate for 3 minutes.
The aqueous layer is decanted off and 10 mL is transferred to a titration beaker.
12 mL of additional aqueous extract solution (clean) is added to the beaker and the solution is titrated with 0.0425 N NaOH to the inflection point. The titration can be done manually or with an automatic titrator.
TBN is calculated as follows:
TBN = 3.20 (Vb1-V5)/Ws, where Vb1 is the amount of titrant used to titrate a 0 TBN blank sample, Vs is the volume of titrant needed to titrate the sample being analyzed, and Ws is the weight of the sample used in the procedure.
HOW THE METHOD WORKS
Traditional TBN methods D-2896 and D-4739 require than a non aqueous hydrocarbon sample be dissolved in a solution capable of facilitating an acid-base reaction and titration. This requirement limits the method to using a limited number of powerful solvents, usually chlorinated ones. More polar solvents could not dissolve the oils and less polar ones would not permit a potentiometric titration to take place. The Titra-Lube laboratory method circumvents this problem by performing the test in two steps. In the first step, the oil is dissolved in a non-polar solvent and reacted with an isopropyl HCl solution which also easily dissolves in the solvent.
The solution is then mixed with an aqueous extractant which removes any excess acid from the non-polar solvent and isolated it in the aqueous phase. This aqueous phase is then physically separated from the oil and placed into the titration beaker. The acid/base titration then proceeds much more quickly than in other methods because the titration is taking place in a strictly aqueous medium. The titration itself takes about 3 minutes where previously it would take up to 30 minutes because of the time necessary for the elect rode to stabilize in the non-aqueous solution.
Test Method
Determines a lubricant’s ability to prevent rusting of metal surfaces. Suitable for steam turbine oils, gear oils, hydraulic oils and other types of inhibited mineral oils. A steel test specimen is immersed in a heated mixture of sample oil and water which is stirred continuously during the test. After the test period the specimen is examined for rusting. The standard (ASTM D665) method uses a vertical specimen; the ‘horizontal disc method’ (ASTM D3603) uses both horizontal and vertical test surfaces.

Test Method
Foaming of lubricating oils in applications involving turbulence, high speed gearing or high volume pumping can cause inadequate lubrication, cavitations, overflow and premature oxidation. The sample is blown with a controlled volume of air at different specified temperatures, including a newer high temperature test at 150°C. The resultant foam is measured at the end of each aeration period and at different intervals afterward. In the high temperature test, the amount of time required for the foam to collapse to “0” after the aeration period is also measured.

Flash point is the temperature at which the vapors of a fuel ignite when a test flame is applied. The flash point for all fuels to be used in bulk onboard vessels is set at 60°C minimum (SOLAS* agreement). ISO8217 Grade DMX, a special low cloud point gasoil, may only be stored onboard in drums because of its < 60°C flash point. The fuel flash point is an important quality and safety assurance measure. The flash point of biodiesel is used to detect contamination from low flashpoint methanol. Flashpoint is used in lube oils as an indication of fuel oil contamination.
The Flashpoint Tester / Analyzer is easy to use, completing a fuel flash/no-flash test in less than two minutes. It will determine the flash point of a lube sample within a temperature range of 0 to 300°C in typically 8 minutes and boasts the following core features:
- Digital display showing test parameters, instrument status, and the flashpoint test result.
- Audible alarm when flashpoint test is completed and action is required from the operator.
- Automatic flash detector enhances repeatability and reduces the chance of misinterpretation.
- Small sample size – 2 or 4ml.

Detailed Product Description
Thermoelectrically-Cooled Cold-Cranking Simulator measures the apparent viscosity of oils at temperatures from -35°C to -5°C, mainly used for multi-grade oils.
This equipment combines automatic sample loading, computer-controlled operation, and solvent-free cleaning to permit completely unattended operation. No further operator involvement is required after initial loading of the sample table and identification of samples.
It will automatically test up to 30 samples at one time, calculate their viscosities, and record the results, freeing the operator for other tasks. Improved temperature management of the rotor/stator eliminates the need for grouping the samples by temperature of analysis.
This consists of a patented thermoelectrically-cooled rotor/stator, a Sample Table with capacity for 30 oil samples, and an integral CCS Series II Controller. The rotor/stator cell is attached to a vacuum system and a metering constant-displacement injection pump. The rotor/stator cell is cleaned by purging the previously measured sample with a portion of new sample prior to measuring its viscosity. Purged sample is drawn into a waste receiver by the vacuum system. Rotor speed is measured by a high resolution digital encoder. A proprietary software program then converts this data to sample viscosity. Viscosity calculations are based on test data and rotor/stator calibration information stored by the software.
