HFRR: Diesel Fuel Lubricity as per ASTM D6079

Automated HFRR:  Diesel Fuel Lubricity (High Frequency Reciprocating Test Rig)

 

HFRR HFRR 2012

  • This model is a computer controlled “FULLY AUTOMATED” reciprocating friction and wear test system which provides a fast, repeatable assessment of the performance of fuels and lubricants. It is particularly suitable for wear testing of relatively poor lubricants & diesel fuels like for boundary friction measurements of engine oils, greases & other compounds. Developed by a group of Tribologists having a combined experience of over 60 years in the field of Tribology
    HFRR Applications:
    • Evaluation of new Diesel, Gasoline & Lubricants additives
    • Determination of optimum additive dosages for raw fuels
    • Quality for outgoing products & incoming materials to ensure conformity with specs.
    • Boundary friction coefficient measurements for automobile fuel economy modeling
    Operating Concept:

    The test method measures the lubricity, or ability of a fluid to affect friction between, and wear to surfaces in relative motion under load. The system is entirely controlled by PC via a custom electronic interface. The entire process from loading of the specimen, attaining the temperature, achieving the required pre-defined frequency to maintaining the required defined / set load during the test duration (please note that the load tends to increase due to the heating of the specimen & the test sample), controlling the stroke length to the:
    • measurement of frictional force
    • calculated value of the coefficient of friction (at any particular time of friction/wear)
    • scar measurement

    is automated and controlled by the software.
