Ultra-compact high-performance diesel fuel lubricity analyser

14 Apr, 2026

Paltro’s next generation High Frequency Reciprocating Rig (HFRR-ADV) is a compact, fully automated desktop instrument for ASTM D6079, ISO 12156 and ASTM D7688 to assess lubricity of diesel fuels and biodiesel blends.

HFRR-ADV offers an ultra-compact, state-of-the-art fuel lubricity tester that is designed for full compliance with global test standards. Its compact and easy to use design, automated workflow simplifies testing and the high precision automated humidity control system eliminates manual activities by the operator. It is ideal for modern, space-conscious laboratories.

The system has an ultra-compact, fully integrated design that combines the HFRR vibrator, electronics controller, and automatic humidity control module into a single unit, minimising footprint and lab space requirements. An integrated PC with a touchscreen enables test execution in just a few clicks, making operation straightforward and efficient. The fully automated workflow manages the entire process - from testing and imaging to measurement and report generation - ensuring effortless use.

An auto-detect function powered by AI and machine learning algorithms accurately measures wear scar diameter without relying on user input. The unit uses clean, salt-free humidity that is electronically controlled and requires only distilled water. Air temperature and humidity are continuously measured and recorded throughout the test duration, ensuring consistent environmental monitoring.

Real-time stroke length acquisition during testing is enabled by an inline sensor, allowing for easy electronic calibration. Additionally, as a single-source supplier, the system provides the instrument, test discs, balls, and accessories, ensuring superior quality control and compatibility across all components.

Discover the future of fuel lubricity testing with our HFRR-ADV and BOCLE_ADV test systems.
