The Lubricant Measurement Systems are the most powerful solutions for lubricant analysis, providing crucial parameters, such as viscosity, density, and refractive index, as well as viscosity index, and carbon-type analysis, with a single setup. This instrument configuration is a real time saver for laboratories and companies dealing with quality control of various lubricants. Additionally, thanks to the low sample and solvent volume and energy consumption, operational costs are reduced to a minimum. Results are obtained within just five minutes – a huge productivity increase compared to traditional systems.

Key features

Time-saving multiparameter measurements for lubricant samples

Lubricant Measurement Systems streamline quality control processes by providing multiple essential parameters in a single measurement. With its user-friendly interface, managing quality control measurements for various lubricants in your daily routine, including rapid sample changes and parameter adjustments, becomes effortless. Simultaneous measurement of viscosity, density, and refractive index is complemented by automatic calculation of viscosity index, carbon-type composition of insulating oils (ASTM D2140), or carbon distribution of petroleum oils (ASTM D3238), within a single setup. Choose between the SVM viscometer as your primary instrument or the DMA density meter.

Fast return on investment

The small measurement cells of Lubricant Measurement Systems require very little sample (minimum of 12.5 mL) and solvent, resulting in minimum disposal costs. Temperature control is performed with Peltier technology and consumes little energy, meaning lower cost per sample. The high degree of automation with an Xsample 530 sample changer increases productivity, reduces the potential for human error, and frees up the operator to perform other tasks. The Lubricant Measurement Systems also enable measurements overnight and during weekends.

Compliance is key in lubricant analysis

The Lubricant Measurement Systems comply with all international standards and product specifications. Viscosity and density are measured according to ASTM D7042 and D4052, while the refractive index measurement complies with ASTM D1218. Density value temperature- and pressure-correction is based on ASTM D1250. Calculation of the viscosity-gravity constant (VCG) according to ASTM D2501, and estimation of mean relative molecular mass compliant with ASTM D2502, enable determination of carbon-type composition (ASTM D2140) and carbon distribution (ASTM D3238), respectively.

Utmost flexibility matched with sample variety

The Lubricant Measurement Systems come with a broad measuring range for viscosity, density, temperature, and refractive index. They enable measurements of a wide variety of oils and lubricants, such as mineral, engine, process, insulating, cosmetic, and medicinal grade white oils, without the need for various capillaries, baths or instruments. The setup’s flexibility also ensures no time is wasted when measuring samples with unknown viscosity, as no trial and error approach is required to establish the correct capillary size.

Easy handling and low maintenance with clever instrument setup

All steps, from the installation to the operation of the Lubricant Measurement Systems, are incredibly easy. The software is intuitive and shows you all the required parameters. Calculations are performed automatically by the integrated PC. The measuring cells and the measuring prism of the refractometer are very robust and can be accessed without the need for tools, allowing for convenient cleaning.
