Oil Separation Apparatus for Oil Fuel and Petroleum Testing Instruments

The Lubricating Grease Pressure Bleeding Tester determines the tendency of lubricating grease to separate oil during storage in a 35 lb pail. The sample is placed on a sieve inside a special test cell and subjected to an air pressure of 0.25 psi (1.72 kPa) at a constant temperature. Any oil that separates from the grease during a 24-hour test period is collected in the cell and weighed. The system consists of pressure bleeding test cells, an air pressure regulation system, and a constant-temperature air cabinet capable of testing four samples simultaneously. Manufactured by Atico Export with a focus on precision, durability, and reliable performance for lubricating grease testing applications.
