ASTM D892 Lubricating Oil Foam Characteristics Analyzer
ASTM D892 Lubricating Oil Foam Characteristics Analyzer
MT-FC706
The ASTM D892 Lubricating Oil Foam Characteristics Analyzer with dual-bath is designed to determine the foaming tendency and foam stability of lubricating oils in accordance with ASTM D892 and GB/T 12579.
Introduction
Foam formation in lubricating oils can reduce lubrication efficiency, accelerate oxidation, and cause operational problems in mechanical systems. Therefore, evaluating the foaming characteristics of lubricants is an important part of lubricant quality control.
The test procedure evaluates both the tendency of oil to form foam and the stability of the foam after aeration. Air is passed through the oil sample under controlled temperature conditions, and the foam volume is measured during and after aeration.
The Foam Characteristics Analyzer features an intelligent microprocessor control system with dual constant-temperature baths at 24°C and 93.5°C, enabling the complete ASTM D892 test sequences for lubricating oil foam analysis.
This tester is widely used in lubricant manufacturers, petroleum laboratories, research institutes, and quality inspection laboratories.

The ASTM D892 Foam Characteristics Analyzer is suitable for testing:
- Lubricating oils
- Hydraulic oils
- Gear oils
- Fire-resistant oils
- Industrial lubricants
Typical application environments include:
- Lubricant manufacturing plants
- Petroleum refineries
