New foaming bath available!
Based on a distributor survey, Tamson decided to develop an apparatus for ASTM D892. This test method covers the determination of the foaming characteristics of lubricating oils at 24°C and 93.5°C. The tendency of oils to foam can be a serious problem in systems such as high-speed gearing, high-volume pumping, and splash lubrication. Inadequate lubrication, cavitation, and overflow loss of lubricant can lead to mechanical failure. This test method is used in the evaluation of oils for such operating conditions.
Tamson ASTM D892 foaming dual bath
We are excited to introduce the Tamson ASTM D892 foaming dual bath. The Tamson D892 apparatus consists of two visibility baths and a rack. One liquid bath is used as a high temperature (normally 93.5°C) bath and one liquid bath is used as low temperature (normally 24°C) bath. A bath is constructed with a glass jar. Around the jar is a zincor powder coated case equipped with two glass windows and a stainless steel cover.
The jar is equipped with a drain to ensure safe removal of the bath medium. Each bath has two cooling coils and has the capacity to hold up to four 1000 mL graduated glass foam cylinders. Next to the two baths, the apparatus is supplied with a rack to hold up to four foam cylinders when cooling down between sequence II and III. On this rack four calibrated flow meters are mounted.
