ASTM D5001 BOCLE Aviation Turbine Fuels Lubricity Tester Ball-on-Cylinder Lubricity Evaluator
1. Introduction
The Aviation Turbine Fuels Lubricity Tester is a device used to
evaluate the lubrication performance of aviation engine fuel. It
simulates the lubrication environment under actual operating
conditions to ensure that the performance of the fuel meets the
requirements under high temperature, high pressure and high speed
conditions.
Simple interface: digital computer controls all instrument
functions;
Standard ASTM D 5001 test program preloaded into microprocessor
controller: operator installs cleaned test piece, adds fuel sample
and presses "start test" button; Automatic control of test
sequence: no operator intervention is required during measurement;
Automatic flow controller controls humid and dry air: no operator
control is required to adjust the humidity and flow of air;
PC-based data logging of motor speed, test time, fuel temperature,
air temperature, humidity and printed summary confirms that all
parameters are within the specified range; Interchangeable humidity
and temperature probes: humidity and temperature measurements do
not require recalibration, just replace the combined relative
humidity and temperature probe with an exchange pre-calibrated
unit; Heating and cooling system: Peltier heating and cooling
system PC-based motor speed, test time, fuel temperature, air
temperature, humidity data acquisition and analysis system
Ultrasonic cleaner; The automatic aviation fuel lubricity tester is
a digital computer-controlled ball-cylinder wear test system that
provides a rapid and repeatable jet fuel performance evaluation,
fully compliant with ASTM D5001 test method for measuring aviation
turbine fuel lubricity using ball-cylinder (BOCLE) lubricity
evaluator.
By using the aviation kerosene lubrication tester, engineers and
scientists can evaluate the lubrication performance of different
kerosene samples and make improvements or optimizations based on
the test results. This helps ensure that the fuel provides good
lubrication in aircraft engines, reduces wear and friction, and
improves engine reliability and life.
2. Main uses
The aviation kerosene lubrication tester is mainly used to evaluate
the lubrication performance of aviation jet fuel. A standard steel
ball and a standard ring are used to form a friction pair. Under
controlled test conditions, the size of the wear mark produced on
the steel ball is used to evaluate the boundary lubrication
performance of aviation fuel.
