Lubrication Testing
The testing can be performed immersed in oil which is being heated to a desired temperature. It is also suitable for testing dry film bonded lubricants and additive packages.
Lubrication Tester
Falex Pin and Vee Block Lubrication Tester
The Pin and Vee Block Tester can measure two qualities of a lubricant. Its lubricity, and the maximum pressure it will withstand before the lubricating properties fail. This work can be performed at various temperatures. It operates by having a small, rotating, cylindrical pin squeezed between two metal arms with vee-notched blocks attached. The testing can be performed immersed in oil which is being heated to a desired temperature. It is also suitable for testing dry film bonded lubricants and additive packages.
Testing is performed to the following standards:
- Endurance (Wear) Life and Load-Carrying Capacity of Solid Film Lubricants (Falex Pin and Vee Method) ASTM D-2625
- Measuring Wear Properties of Fluid Lubricants (Falex Pin and Vee Block Method) ASTM D-2670
- Measurement of Extreme Pressure Properties of Fluid Lubricants (Falex Pin and Vee Block Methods) ASTM D-3233
