Scope

This test method known as "impinger", indicates the ability of an oil to separate from entrained gas. The air bubble
separation time is the number of minutes needed for the air in an oil to reduce in volume to 0,2% of the sample volume
under the test conditions and at specified temperature.

AIR RELEASE VALUE – IMPINGER METHOD

Products
Steam turbine oil and mineral insulating oils.

Description
IMPINGER TESTER

Main Caracteristics
Complete equipment for determination of the ability of an oil to separate
entrained air in hydraulic, turbine and other lubricating oils According to
the above mentioned standard methods

The tester is equipped with an electronic temperature controller and

digital display and control knob, one pressure gauge, one valve for
heated air delivery, a plate for installing the density balance (to be
ordered separately), two moving attachments for installing up to two
glass vessels (one for bubbling while the density is being recorded in
the other), the air preheating vessel is installed behind the front panel,
one thermometer ASTM 12C and one stop watch.

- Very compact equipment including all necessary items

- Optional Integrated balance with acquisition software
- 2 glassware positions : one for bubbling while the density is recorded
in the other
