Key Features

The ABS is a microprocessor-controlled Ball-on-Cylinder wear test system which provides a fast, repeatable assessment of the performance of jet fuels that fully conforms to the ASTM D5001 test method for “Measurement of Lubricity of Aviation Turbine Fuels by the Ball-on-Cylinder Lubricity Evaluator”.

The ABS comprises a single, compact, bench top mounted unit. The only external services required are compressed air to the specification in ASTM D5001 and 100-230V mains power. The internal de-ionised water reservoir requires refilling after approximately 1,000 tests. An air cleaner/dryer is available which can clean and de-humidify normal laboratory or shop air to meet the requirements of the ASTM standard (<0.1 ppm hydrocarbon).

  
        The PCS Automated BOCLE System (ABS) is included in the D5001 ASTM specification      

        Simple to use interface -microprocessor control of all instrument functions      

        Standard ASTM D5001 test sequence pre-loaded into ABS microprocessor controller - operator fits cleaned specimens, adds fuel sample and presses the ‘Start Test’ button      

        Automatic control of test sequence - no operator-induced variability in test results      

        Automatic flow controllers for moist and dry air - no operator input required to control the humidity and flow rate of the conditioned air      

        Optional PC-based data logging software - allows test data to be recorded as a permanent record (available for both D5001 and D6078)      

        Interchangeable humidity and temperature probes - humidity and temperature measurement does not need to be re-calibrated - Simply exchange the combined relative humidity and temperature probe for a precalibrated unit      

        PCS manufactures the ABS test rings - single source supplier of test rings and specimens leads to higher quality control
