Oxidation Stability Tester

Lab Expo Oxidation Stability Tester systems are used for evaluating oxidation resistance and aging characteristics of fuels, lubricants, and transformer oils under controlled thermal conditions. Units support fuel oxidation testing with sample capacities from 2 to 8 positions, temperature control up to 160°C, and measurement ranges from 0 to 1600 kPa with temperature control accuracy up to 0.1°C. Systems include oil bath configurations, automatic digital temperature regulation, and oxidation tester functionality for petroleum and insulating oil stability analysis.

FAQ for Oxidation Stability Tester

1: What is an Oxidation Stability Tester used for?

An Oxidation Stability Tester is used to evaluate the resistance of oils, lubricants and greases to oxidation under accelerated and controlled conditions, helping predict their performance and shelf life.

2: Why is oxidation stability important in oils and lubricants?

Oxidation can lead to increased viscosity, sludge formation, acid buildup and reduced lubrication performance. High oxidation stability ensures better longevity and efficiency of lubricants.

3: How does the digital display support real-time monitoring?

The digital display provides continuous, real-time updates on parameters such as temperature, pressure and test duration, allowing users to closely track test progress and make timely decisions.

4: What is the purpose of the emergency stop button on the oxidation stability tester?

The emergency stop button allows operators to immediately halt the testing process in case of a malfunction or unsafe condition, ensuring user and equipment safety.

5: How does the tester handle high-pressure conditions?

It is engineered with a robust pressure chamber and safety mechanisms to withstand elevated pressure levels commonly used in accelerated oxidation tests.
