Test Method
Determines the tendency of finished oils to form coke when in contact
with surfaces at elevated temperatures for short periods. A sample of oil
is mechanically splashed against an aluminum test panel at elevated
temperature. After a specified test period, the amount of coke deposited on
the panel is determined by weight.
Panel Coking Test Apparatus
. Conforms to FTM 791-3462 specifications
. Suitable as a screening test prior to performing engine tests
Digitally controlled panel coking apparatus for finished lubricating oils,
consisting of mechanical splasher, splash chamber and sample oil reservoir
Test panel temperature and oil sump temperature are individually controlled by
separate heaters with digital-indicating controllers. Mechanical splasher has a
variable speed 0-1800rpm drive motor with digital indicating control. A high
accuracy variable area flowmeter permits introduction of a corrosive acidic
atmosphere to increase the severity of the test. Equipped with a digital
countdown timer. Hinged safety cover has a port for fume removal and a
safety interlock switch that interrupts power to the drive motor when the
cover is lifted.
