Does new lubricant need to be tested?
Properties that need to be tested include viscosity, pH, etc
New lubricants usually come with a manufacturer’s certificate of conformity, but they still need to be tested before use; lubricants that fail the tests must be returned
Testing is definitely necessary, for viscosity, moisture content, and emulsification resistance, among other things.
Request the supplier to provide a quality inspection report~~It’s not necessary to do it oneself~~
After the newly purchased lubricant arrives at our company, we conduct random inspections at a rate of 30%.
We require that it must be inspected!
There are no regulatory requirements that mandate testing; it mainly depends on your internal policies. Generally speaking, the manufacturer’s instructions can be regarded as a quality commitment within the management system, and testing may not be necessary
If new lubricants are not stored properly during transportation, they can become contaminated; the testing parameters vary depending on the type of lubricant.
What are the main test parameters for new lubricants?
