Introduction

The Oil Water Separability Tester is manufactured in accordance with ASTM D1401, GB/T 7305, and GB/T 7605 test methods. These standards are widely used to evaluate the demulsibility performance of lubricating oils, particularly turbine oils and other industrial lubricants that may come into contact with water during service.

Demulsibility is a critical performance indicator for lubricating oils. Oils with poor water separation ability can lead to emulsion formation, corrosion, oxidation, and reduced lubrication efficiency in industrial equipment. The test evaluates how quickly and effectively oil can separate from water after controlled mixing at a specified temperature.

The instrument provides precise temperature control, stable stirring speed, and simultaneous multi-sample testing, ensuring reliable and repeatable results for oil analysis laboratories.

It is widely used in petroleum laboratories, lubricant manufacturing plants, power generation facilities, chemical industries, railway maintenance departments, and research institutions.
