Introduction
A demulsibility characteristics tester is an instrument used to measure the demulsibility characteristics of lubricating oils and other oils, which is the ability of the oil to separate from water, and it is used in the petroleum, lubricant, and quality control industries for the evaluation of the oil performance. The demulsibility of an oil is the ability of the oil-water emulsion to separate into the oil and the water phases, and it is an important property for the oils used in applications where the oil may come into contact with water, such as in turbines, hydraulic systems, and gearboxes, and the poor demulsibility can lead to the formation of stable emulsions, which reduce the lubrication performance and cause wear; the demulsibility characteristics tester measures the demulsibility by the standard test method, such as ASTM D1401, in which a specified volume of the oil and the water are mixed in a graduated cylinder, and the time for the separation of the oil and the water phases is measured, and the amount of the separated oil, water, and emulsion is recorded; the tester consists of a water bath, a graduated cylinder holder, a stirring or mixing mechanism, and a timer, and it provides a controlled and reproducible measurement, with features such as temperature control; the demulsibility is expressed by the time for the separation and the volume of the separated phases. Demulsibility characteristics testers are used in the petroleum and lubricant industry for testing turbine oils, hydraulic oils, and other oils, for quality control, for product development, for the evaluation of the oil performance, and for many other applications. With their measurement of the demulsibility, demulsibility characteristics testers are essential for lubricant testing.

FAQ
Q1: What scenarios is this tester used for?
A: It measures how quickly contaminated or formulated oil separates from water under standardized mixing and settling, assessing demulsibility for turbine and lubricating oils.
Q2: What standards does it comply with?
A: It follows ASTM D1401 and ISO 6614 for demulsibility, related GB/T standards, with bath temperature and timing verified.
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 mixing and reading separation layers. 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 reagents are standard, while parts are model-specific. Ongoing cost is minimal.
Q8: Can it be customized?
A: Yes, several configurations are available. Options include bath capacity, automated mixing and multiple 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: Standard delivery includes the tester and manual. Installation is not required, with training available.
Q10: What oils are compatible?
A: It handles oils within the method and temperature range. It is not for non-oil samples, stable emulsions that do not separate within limits, or incompatible chemicals.
