Quick and easy oxidation stability testing of greases

RapidOxy 100, the only RSSOT (Rapid Small-Scale Oxidation Test) instrument on the market, is a compact stand-alone instrument for determining the oxidation stability of lubricating greases according to ASTM D8206. Calculation of the activation energy from the Arrhenius graph and determination of the oxidation induction time (OIT) are automatically possible with the powerful PC software OxyLogger 100. Additionally, Anton Paar have designed the compact benchtop size and stand-alone design take functionality to another level.

The unique RapidOxy 100 measuring principle artificially accelerates the oxidation process by using increased temperature and an excess of pure oxygen. Automatic magnetic locking of the safety hood, as well as over-temperature and over-pressure shut-off, guarantee the highest safety standards. 

RapidOxy 100 is almost entirely automatic, leaving no room for error. The only manual step is weighing 4 grams of grease into a glass dish. From the measurement set-up, which takes less than five minutes, to the super-quick and simple cleaning of the test chamber, which can simply be wipe-cleaned after the glass dish is removed, every step of the test is incredibly convenient.
