High Temperature Dropping Point Apparatus

Test Method

The ASTM D2265 dropping point test permits higher temperatures than the ASTM D566 method and uses a different heating procedure: the test cell is inserted in an aluminium block oven maintained at a constant temperature that is higher than the expected dropping point of the sample. The sample temperature then rises to the dropping point without operator control.

High Temperature Dropping Point Apparatus

. Conforms to ASTM D2265 and D4950 specifications
. Six-sample testing capability
. Microprocessor programmable high accuracy temperature control

Tests dropping points of lubricating greases at temperatures of up to 400°C (752°F). Includes thermostatically controlled aluminium block oven and six complete dropping point assemblies. Six-place oven has large viewing ports with fluorescent back-lighting for excellent visibility. Microprocessor PID control provides quick temperature stabilization without overshoot and the bath is protected by an over temperature control circuit that interrupts power should block temperature exceed a programmed cut-off point. Dual LED displays provide actual and setpoint temperature values in °C/°F format. Communications software (RS232, etc.), ramp-to-set and other enhanced features are available as extra cost options. Contact your Koehler representative for information. Microprocessor temperature control with digital readout and over temperature safety cut-off maintains block temperature with ±0.5°C stability. Insulated cabinet has a chemical resistant polyurethane finish.
