How To Test The Lubricating Oil For Engine

The most important requirement of a lubricant is to form a film between the moving parts to keep the surfaces separate under all loads and temperatures. The viscosity of the oil can be influenced with additives to have a viscosity that is high enough to form the protective film but low enough not to cause excessive energy losses within the film. Nowadays, fuel economy is becoming more and more important and the viscosity of the oils is getting lower and lower. It is of great importance that the viscosity remains stable during the whole oil drain interval. Innovation in Viscosity Determination: SVM ™ Stabinger Viscometer ™ Series The highly precise viscometers of the SVM ™ series are based on a rotational measuring principle and have an integrated density measuring cell. The small viscosity measuring cell contains a tube which rotates at a constant speed and is filled with sample fluid. A measuring rotor with a built-in magnet floats freely in the sample. The sample ’ s s...
