Lubricating Oil Evaporation Loss Tester

Introduction
Shijiazhuang Faith Machinery Co.,Ltd is pleased to announce the official launch of its new Lubricating Oil Evaporation Loss Tester, now available for distribution to research laboratories, lubricant manufacturers, and quality‑control departments worldwide. Designed in compliance with international test standards, this instrument provides an accurate and reproducible way to measure the tendency of lubricating oils to evaporate under elevated temperature and airflow conditions.

Industry Context
In modern engines and machinery, the volatility of lubricating oils directly influences performance, maintenance intervals, and overall operational costs. Excessive evaporation can lead to reduced oil film thickness, increased deposit formation, and ultimately a higher rate of component wear. Recognizing the critical role that evaporation loss plays in lubricant formulation and service life, many testing standards—such as ASTM D5800 and IP 426—have been adopted by lubricant producers and end‑users alike to ensure consistency and reliability.

Key Technical Features

• Precision Temperature Control
  A digital PID controller maintains test temperature within ±0.1 °C of the setpoint, ensuring that comparisons between different oil samples are valid and reproducible.

• Uniform Airflow System
  An integrated mass‑flow controller regulates airflow at programmable rates, conforming to the 40 mL/min specified in many test methods. This uniform flow prevents localized heating and yields consistent evaporation conditions for all samples.

• Automated Data Logging
  The instrument’s onboard data acquisition logs weight loss at user‑defined intervals. Exportable in CSV format, these logs enable users to conduct time‑based analyses or integrate results into existing quality‑management software.

• Multi‑Sample Capability
  The tester accommodates up to six 50 mL sample tubes simultaneously, allowing for parallel testing of multiple formulations or batch comparisons in a single run.

Methodology

1. Sample Preparation
   Samples are conditioned to room temperature and weighed with an analytical balance to establish initial mass.

2. Test Execution
   The tubes are placed in the heating block and heated to the target temperature (commonly 250 °C). Controlled airflow is passed over the sample to simulate engine operating conditions.

3. Mass Measurement
   At the conclusion of the test period—typically 60 minutes for most standard methods—the tubes are removed, cooled in a desiccator, and reweighed to determine mass loss.

4. Result Interpretation
   Evaporation loss is calculated as the percentage of initial mass lost. Lower percentages indicate formulations with superior thermal stability.

Applications

• Automotive and Diesel Engine Oils
  OEMs and aftermarket producers evaluate base oils and additive packages to balance volatility and performance over extended service intervals.

• Industrial Gear and Turbine Oils
  In high–temperature industrial drives, minimizing evaporation loss helps sustain lubricant film thickness and reduce deposit formation on gear teeth or turbine blades.

• Aviation Turbine Oils
  Rotorcraft and jet engine applications demand oils with exceptionally low volatility to safeguard against oil consumption at high altitudes.

Compliance and Validation
The Lubricating Oil Evaporation Loss Tester has been independently validated against certified reference oils and proven to meet or exceed the precision and bias requirements of relevant international standards. Shijiazhuang Faith Machinery Co.,Ltd provides a full traceability dossier and user‑friendly calibration procedures to ensure laboratory accreditation bodies can easily confirm instrument performance.

User Experience and Support
Early adopters have highlighted the ease of programming test sequences and the clarity of the digital interface. The robust construction minimizes maintenance, and an optional service‑contract package offers scheduled preventative care, software updates, and privileged access to technical support.

Looking Ahead
As lubricant formulations evolve to meet stricter emissions and efficiency requirements, reliable data on evaporation characteristics remains indispensable. Shijiazhuang Faith Machinery Co.,Ltd is committed to ongoing enhancements—such as touchscreen operation, network connectivity, and expanded sample capacity—to meet the future needs of the lubrication industry.
