Fuels Lubricants Laboratory

The Fuel- Lubricants Laboratory carries out quality control analysis on fuel oil (heavy fuel and diesel oil),physicochemical characteristics analysis on industrial lubricating oils (turbine, hydraulic systems, gearbox,internal combustion engine oils, etc.) and grease

Main Tests

1. Physico-chemical characteristics checking in liquid fuels (heavy fuel, diesel oil)
2. Physico-chemical characteristics checking in lubricating oils of turbines, reducers, hydraulic systems, internal combustion engines, gear boxes etc.
3. Waste oils and fuel residue checking
4. Physico-chemical characteristics checking in greases

Main Equipment

1. Instruments for measuring physico-chemical characteristics in petroleum products in accordance with the ASTM standards (viscometer, hydrometer, flash-point testers, distillation, automatic titrator etc. )
2. Coulometrer for determining moisture content Karl Fischer
3. Particles counter with laser beam scatter Device
4. RPVOT tester
5. Spectrophotometer infrared (FT-IR)
6. Spectrometer x-ray fluorescence
7. Bomb calorimeter
8. Elemental analyzer (C - H - N)
9. Greases testers (worked penetration, oxidation bombs, machine tool, water washout, roll stability, dropping point etc. )
