Oxidation Stability of Lubricating Grease Apparatus ASTM D942

Oxidation Stability of Lubricating Grease Apparatus ASTM D942

Product Specifications

Compliance Standard : ASTM D942 – Standard Test Method for Oxidation Stability of Lubricating Greases by the Oxygen Pressure Vessel Method.
Application :  The Oxidation Stability of Lubricating Grease Apparatus is used to determine the resistance of lubricating greases to oxidation when exposed to oxygen under controlled pressure and temperature conditions. The test measures the pressure drop inside a sealed oxygen vessel, which indicates the extent of oxidation. This apparatus is widely used in petroleum refineries, lubricant manufacturing units, R&D laboratories, and quality control laboratories.

Product Description : The apparatus consists of a robust oxygen pressure vessel assembly mounted on a precision-controlled heating unit. It is designed to maintain uniform temperature throughout the test duration and to accurately measure pressure changes due to oxidation. The system is fitted with high-accuracy pressure gauges and safety devices to ensure reliable and safe operation. The equipment provides reproducible and repeatable results in accordance with ASTM D942 requirements.
