Introduction
An oil floc point tester is an instrument used to measure the floc point of lubricating oils and other oils, which is the temperature at which the wax in the oil begins to precipitate or flocculate, and it is used in the petroleum and lubricant industries for the evaluation of the low-temperature properties of oils. The floc point is an important property of lubricating oils, especially for refrigeration oils, because the precipitation of wax at low temperatures can clog the system and reduce the performance, and the floc point tester measures the temperature at which the first signs of flocculation appear; the oil floc point tester consists of a sample tube that holds the oil, a cooling bath or a cooling system, a temperature sensor, and an observation system, and in operation, the oil sample is cooled at a controlled rate, and the temperature at which the wax begins to flocculate is observed and recorded, following standardized methods, such as ASTM D2500, and the floc point is expressed in degrees Celsius; the tester provides a controlled and reproducible measurement, with features such as automatic cooling and temperature display. Oil floc point testers are used in the petroleum and lubricant industry for testing refrigeration oils, for testing the low-temperature properties of lubricating oils, for quality control, for product development, for compliance with specifications, and for many other applications. With their measurement of the floc point, oil floc point testers are essential for evaluating the low-temperature performance of oils.

FAQ
Q1: What scenarios is this tester used for?
A: It determines the floc point of refrigeration oils, the temperature at which wax or floc appears on cooling, supporting oil and refrigerant compatibility assessment.
Q2: What standards does it comply with?
A: It follows relevant ASTM, ISO or GB/T methods for floc point, with bath temperature and cooling verified. We confirm the stated performance during final inspection and can supply a certificate of conformity together with supporting documents for audit purposes.
Q3: What is the warranty?
A: The tester carries a 12 to 24 month warranty covering bath and controls. Tubes are consumables. Damage from misuse is excluded.
Q4: Is it hard to operate?
A: Operation requires trained staff for cooling and observation. We provide a manual and training.
Q5: What is the lead time?
A: Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.
Q6: Is calibration required?
A: We recommend verification against traceable standards at regular intervals, typically every 6 to 12 months, and keeping calibration records for audit purposes. The manual describes the procedure, and reference standards are available from us. Accredited third-party calibration can also be arranged on request.
Q7: Are consumables universal?
A: Tubes and solvents are standard, while bath parts are model-specific. Ongoing cost is minimal.
Q8: Can it be customized?
A: Yes, several configurations are available. Options include bath capacity and number of samples. We can discuss further custom requirements, confirm feasibility and advise any effect on the schedule before the order is confirmed.
Q9: Is installation included?
A: The instrument does not need professional installation. After unpacking, connect it to the specified power supply, allow it to stabilize and confirm the self-check passes. The package includes a printed manual, and our support team offers remote assistance throughout setup.
Q10: What oils are compatible?
A: It handles refrigeration and configured oils within the method. It is not for non-oil samples, opaque oils that prevent observation, or temperatures beyond range.
