High Temperature ‘Sequence IV’ Liquid Foam Test Bath
Foaming of lubricating oils in applications involving turbulence, high speed gearing or high volume pumping can cause inadequate lubrication, cavitation, overflow and premature oxidation. The sample is blown with a controlled volume of air at 150°C. The resultant foam is measured at the end of each aeration period and at different intervals afterward. The amount of time required for the foam to collapse to “0” after the aeration period is also measured.
- High-temperature liquid bath for ‘Sequence IV’ tests
For two tests at 150°C with a flow rate of 200mL/min in accordance with ASTM D6082 specifications. Consists of a constant temperature bath with 1000mL test cylinders, certified diffusers, air delivery tubes and flowmeters. Microprocessor PID control provides quick temperature stabilization without overshoot and the bath is protected by an overtemperature control circuit that interrupts power should bath temperature exceed a programmed cut-off point. Dual LED displays provide actual and setpoint temperature values in °C/°F format. Quick response copper immersion heaters provide efficient high temperature operation and a stirrer unit provides complete circulation for temperature uniformity of better than ±1°F (±0.5°C). Locking cams hold the test cylinders in a vertical position and a separate rack is provided to hold the cylinders after removal from the bath. For operator safety, an acrylic heat shield surrounds the borosilicate glass bath jar.
