• OIlPure has refortified Oil Additive in the recycled hydraulic oil after AST-50 into Shell Tellus 68. Purchasing department has purchased the oil at the lowest price, effecting the low level of oil additives in the new oil.
  • SPZC-101H Oil Additive results in Four Ball Wear Test showing the reduction of Scar from 0.75 mm to 0.35 mm. This is an excellent 40% improvement in wear protection.
  • Four Ball Weld value improves from 100 kgf to 120 kgf which means the oil can carry 20% more load and heat at 120 kgf before metal surface start to weld to one another.
  • Copper Corrosion Test shows the recycled oil at 1A Rating which is considered to be top rating.
• This is an improvement in Asset Management that improves machine Productivity, resulting in additional profit in ROA (Return on Asset) that was hidden and can be recalled from quality lubricating process in the machine.

What is Four Ball Wear Test (ASTM-D-4172) ?

Four-Ball Wear determines the relative wear-preventive properties of lubricating fluids and greases in sliding and rolling applications. It is the only test machine proven through cooperative inter-laboratory testing to meet requirements of ASTM: D-2266 and D-4172.

Four Ball Wear Test determines the wear protection properties of a lubricant by measuring the wear scars produced by four metal balls in sliding contact under the test parameters. The smaller the average wear scar, the better the wear protection provided by the lubricant.

The better the lubricant is at preventing wear, the smaller the wear scar will be on the three stationary balls. At the conclusion of the test, the three wear scars are measured and the average is reported. The coefficient of friction is also measured throughout the 60 minute test with the average being reported at the end of the test.

What is Four Ball Weld Test (ASTM: D-2596, D-2783) ?

ASTM: D-2596. D-2783 Four Ball weld point test Weld Point (WELD/PT), kg – The lowest applied load in kilograms at which the rotating ball welds to the three stationery balls indicating the extreme-pressure level to the lubricants-force (or newtons) has been exceeded. Deemed to be complete when the ball bearings have welded together under the heat generated by friction.
