The Ducom TR 30 L – Four Ball Tester is widely accepted as the industry standard for conducting WP, EP, Frictional and Fatigue Property tests on lubricants.
The Ducom TR 30 L test instrument has the unique capability of evaluating lubricants for their Wear Preventive, Extreme Pressure, Frictional Properties and Fatigue Properties, all in one machine. The TR 30 L test system complies with a number of standards applicable to lubricant characterization and its capabilities extend beyond the scope of these standards, allowing users to perform a variety of customized tests.
This instrument uses four balls, three at the bottom and one on top. The bottom three balls are held firmly in a ball pot containing the lubricant under test and pressed against the top ball. The top ball is made to rotate at the desired speed while the bottom three balls are pressed against it. The lubricant under test is characterized by the evaluating the wear scar formed on the balls after the test and evaluating the load at which the lubricant fails and the four balls weld together. Friction levels of the lubricant under test can also be evaluated using the TR 30 L test system.
The TR 30 L test instrument comes with the WinDucom software for data acquisition and display of results. The WinDucom software and data acquisition system allows users to measure applied test load, temperature, RPM and frictional torque. WinDucom software is used to present data in a variety of ways and CompariView provides a powerful tool to view and compare test results for evaluation.
ScarView software and Image Acquisition System – IS 30 L can be opted for to quickly and conveniently evaluate wear scar readings and report results.
