OXIDATION CHARACTERISTICS OF LUBRICATING OIL

OXIDATION CHARACTERISTICS OF LUBRICATING OIL – IP 48 / IP 306 / IP 335 / ASTM D 2440 / IS 335 / IS 1448 P:65 / IEC 61125

Model Code: SEWOC11 (Liquid bath 8 place)
SEWOC12 (Liquid bath 12 place)
SEWOC21 (Aluminium Block 8 place)
SEWOC22 (Aluminium Block 12 place)

These standards describe a method for the determination of tendency of lubricating oils to deteriorate on oxidation under specified conditions. The sample is subjected to severe oxidations by heating at 2000C along with passing air through it at specific flow rate and duration. Kinematic Viscosity & Ramsbottom carbon residue is determined of the oxidized oil. IP / IEC test standard processes prescribes the use of metal catalyst wire / metal specimen to carry test processes.
