Perform Precise, Safe, and Compliant Volatility Testing

The volatility (or 'loss evaporation') of lubricating oils is a critical property to determine, particularly when servicing applications under high temperature conditions, such as lubrication for motor engine or industrial machinery. Portions of oil can evaporate under high temperature conditions, potentially altering oil properties such as viscosity, as it becomes thicker and heavier.

The Noack test is widely known as the referee method to accurately characterise the evaporation loss behavior of lubricants. Low Noack scores indicate oils that will retain its original protective and performance qualities even when facing severe operating temperature. For the past decade, the ISL NCK2 5G is the state-of-art and proven lab solution for precise and safe volatility testing by the Noack method. It is in full compliance with the ASTM D5800B and CEC-L-40-93 standards.

The NCK2 5G is designed for routine day-to-day work in labs with high sample workloads, so the test initiates with a few simple keystrokes. You can click here to watch the video on how to easily run a test on this instrument. In addition, the NCK2 5G has numerous benefits, including:

• Excellent analysis performance through precise sample temperature control
• Enhanced safety, e.g., automatic pre-test leak check
• Advanced quality control, e.g., traceable automatic calibrations with lock-out control
