RESULTS OF THE OIL ANALYSIS

▶ RESULTS OF THE OIL ANALYSIS

RESULTS OF THE OIL ANALYSIS

▶ BROOKFIELD -40°C

BROOKFIELD -40°C

ASTM D 2983
With regard to the parameters for dynamic viscosity at minus 40 °C.
  • The lower the dynamic viscosity, the better.

RAVENOL PDK Fluid delivers 3 % higher performance than the original oil Fuchs Titan FFL-3.

▶ POUR POINT

POUR POINT

 DIN ISO 3016
Describes the lowest temperature at which the oil remains fluid and can be used as intended.
  • Less better

At its pour point, RAVENOL PDK Fluid delivers 10 % higher performance than the original oil Fuchs Titan FFL-3.

▶ MEASUREMENT OF WEAR PROTECTION AND PRESSURE LOAD PROPERTIES

MEASUREMENT OF WEAR PROTECTION AND PRESSURE LOAD PROPERTIES

 FBT = FOUR BALL TESTER
 WEIGHT 40 KG CYCLE TIME 1 HOUR

The RAVENOL four-ball tester according to DIN 51350 is used to determine the values for lubricants which are exposed to surface pressure in a system with parts in relative motion to one another. In addition to the shear stability at high pressures, the wear protection behaviour when the pressure build-up is low can also be determined.
The four-ball tester is a common test procedure in the lubricant industry and it is used for product development and quality control.
The four-ball system consists of three fixed balls of the same size (stationary balls) and one rotating ball (load ball). The lubricant being tested is then poured over the stationary balls until they are completely covered. Using a lever device and a staged regulation of the test weights, different loads are generated and the corresponding characteristic values for abrasion, friction and welding are determined.

  • The higher the welding force or the lower the wear values of an oil or grease, the better its wear protection when subjected to pressure load.

RAVENOL RAVENOL PDK fluid delivers 17,5 % higher performance than the original oil Fuchs Titan FFL-3.

▶ VKA EP WELD-LOAD

VKA EP WELD-LOAD

 Four ball test – Extreme pressure
 DIN EN ISO 20623:2018-04

This process is particularly used for lubricants that have to withstand high loads and pressures. Contained EP additives enable high pressures in the mixed friction area. The four-ball value is given in N (Newtons).

  • The higher the strain it withstands, the better.

▶ SHEAR STABILITY, KRL, LOSS OF VISCOSITY



 DIN 51350-6
 TAPERED ROLLER BEARING TEST 20-HOUR

KRL test to determine viscosity changes in multigrade oils, usually gear or axle. The viscosity improver in these oils can be severely sheared during operation. As a result, the oil becomes thinner over time. The KRL test uses the four-ball device to measure the change in viscosity associated with the decrease in viscosity index (VI) improver. Instead of the four balls, this test is carried out with a tapered roller bearing with about 40 ml of oil. With the splash lubrication method, the oil is sheared with the rotating tapered roller bearing at a temperature of 60 ° C, a constant load of 5,000 N and usually over a period of 20 hours. The resulting relative viscosity drop at 100 ° C is given as a percentage.

  • Less better

RAVENOL PDK fluid is 1,27 % better than the original oil.

▶ COPPER STRIP TEST: EFFECT OF CORROSION ON COPPER

COPPER STRIP TEST: EFFECT OF CORROSION ON COPPER

 ASTM D130: 2012
 Test duration: 3 hr
 Temperature: 150 °C

The procedure determines the corrosive effects of lubricating oils and greases on copper. Corrosion to metal is based on factors including but not limited to active sulphur compounds in the oil. The level of corrosion at the end of the experiment is ascertained by comparing the copper strip with a colour scale. The result is placed in one of four main categories (1-4) and, within these, two to five sub-categories (a-e).

  • Lighter better
