Ball on three disk
tests for evaluation of rolling emulsions
Innovative use of a standard diesel lubricity test for
the efficient evaluation of anti-wear properties of aqueous emulsions for
rolling operations
Pin and Vee Block Tester: Why
an electronic calibration?
The Pin and Vee Block Tester is a mechanical
tribometer and as every mechanical test machine its loading mechanism
undergoes some wear with time. Regular calibration of the loading mechanism is
required. The ASTM procedures describe the ‘Brinell Copper Coupon Calibration’
but this is an indirect method to measure the actual load of your machine. Therefore Falex provides an
accurate, electronic calibration were the actual load is
measured directly in the contact.

Four
Ball Wear tests: Can they be done with any machine?
ASTM D-2266 and D-4172 are designed to determine accurately the anti-wear
properties of oils and greases through a four-ball geometry. The procedure states
that the tests can not be executed with four ball EP machines, because these
lack precision. Is this correct?
