ASTM D445 Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester
Many petroleum products, and some non-petroleum materials, are used as lubricants, and the correct operation of the equipment depends upon the appropriate viscosity of the liquid being used. In addition, the viscosity of many petroleum fuels is important for the estimation of optimum storage, handling, and operational conditions. Thus, the accurate determination of viscosity is essential to many product specifications.

ASTM D4684 Yield Stress And Apparent Viscosity Of Engine Oils
An engine oil sample is held at 80°C and then cooled at a programmed cooling rate to a final test temperature and held for a specified time period. At the end of this period, a series of increasing low torques are applied to the rotor shaft until rotation occurs to determine the yield stress, if any is exhibited. A higher torque is then applied to determine the apparent viscosity of the sample.

ASTM D1478 Low-Temperature Torque Tester
KN-1478 Low-Temperature Torque Tester conforms to ASTM D1478 Standard Test Method for Low-Temperature Torque of Ball Bearing Grease. This test method was developed using greases having very low torque characteristics at -54℃. Specifications for greases of this type commonly require testing at this temperature. Specifications for greases of other types can require testing at temperatures from -73℃ to -18℃. This test method has proved helpful in the selection of greases for low-powered mechanisms, such as instrument bearings used in aerospace applications. The suitability of this test method for other applications requiring different greases, speeds, and temperatures should be determined on an individual basis.

ASTM D4419 Low Temperature Differential Scanning Calorimeter
KN-4419 Low Temperature Differential Scanning Calorimeter conforms to ASTM D4419 Standard Test Method for Measurement of Transition Temperatures of Petroleum Waxes by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). DSC in a convenient and rapid method for determining the temperature limits within which a wax undergoes during transitions. The highest temperature transition is a solid-liquid transition associated with complete melting; it can guide the choice of wax storage and application temperatures. The solid-solid temperature transition is related to the properties of the solid, that is, hardness and blocking temperature.
