Product Description

GD-3142BF Automated Four-ball Friction Testing Machine / Four Ball Tester for Lubricating Oils and Greases



Introduction:

The Four Ball Tester is an excellent development and quality check instrument for developers and users of lubricating oils and greases. The unique sample configuration of three stationary balls and one top ball makes a very stable and a repeatable contact in-turn, allowing test results to be very repeatable. It can be used to determine Wear Preventive properties (WP), Extreme Pressure properties (EP) and friction behavior of lubricants (both oils and greases).

The Four Ball Tester is a floor standing instrument designed to determine the friction properties of extreme pressure oils and greases. It has been applied in tribology research laboratories and in the routine quality control of finished lubrication products. The testing machine is designed and manufactured strictly according to the following ASTM standards:

1. ASTM D2596-15 "Standard Test Method for Measurement of Extreme-Pressure Properties of Lubricating Grease (Four-Ball Method)".
2. ASTM D2783-03(2014) "Standard Test Method for Measurement of Extreme-Pressure Properties of Lubricating Fluids (Four-Ball Method)".
3. ASTM D2266-01(2015) "Standard Test Method for Wear Preventive Characteristics of Lubricating Grease (Four-Ball Method)".
4. ASTM D5183-05(2016) "Standard Test Method for Determination of the Coefficient of Friction of Lubricants Using the Four-Ball Wear Test Machine.
5. ASTM D4172-94(2016) "Standard Test Method for Wear Preventive Characteristics of Lubricating Fluid (Four-Ball Method)".

The FOUR BALL FRICTION TESTING MACHINE can be used for the determination of wear preventive characteristics of lubricating oils and the measurement of extreme-pressure properties of lubricating fluids; including the maximum no clamping load PB, the sintering load PD, the comprehensive wear value of ZMZ and other three indicators. It is also suitable for long-term wear resistant test, determination of the friction index, real time curve of friction and record of friction force. With high precision measuring digital microscope, friction grinding spot and friction wear spot can be enlarged to be shown on computer screen and analyzed via data processing software.

The Four-Ball Friction and Wear Tester, also known as Shell four ball tester, is used to characterize lubricants properties, such as wear prevention (WP), extreme pressure (EP) and frictional behavior


Features:
