Features

• Simple to use interface –digitally computer control of all instrument functions
• Standard ASTM D 5001 test sequence pre-loaded into ABT microprocessor controller – operator fits cleaned specimens, adds fuel sample & presses the ‘Start Test’ button.
• Automatic control of test sequence-no operator-included 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.
• PC based data logging of Motor speed, test duration, fuel temperature, air temperature, humidity recorded during the test & a summary printed out confirming that all parameters were within the specified limits.
• Interchangeable humidity & temperature probes-humidity and temperature measurement does not need to be re-calibrated- simply replace the combined relative humidity and temperature probe with an exchange pre-calibrated unit.
• Heating & Cooling System through Peltier Heating &Cooling System
• Digital Microscope with Image Acquisition System & software
• PC based data acquisition & analyze system of motor speed, test duration, fuel temperature, air temperature, humidity.
• Ultrasonic Cleaner

The Automated BOCLE (Ball-on-Cylinder Lubricity Evaluator) Tester is a digitally 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 D 5001 test method for “Measurement of Lubricity of Aviation Turbine Fuels by the Ball-on-Cylinder Lubricity Evaluator”.

The Computer controlled Automated BOCLE Tester is a single, compact, bench top mounted unit. The only external services required are compressed air to the specification in ASTM D5001and 115VAC 16Amps, 1 Phase power. The internal de-Ionized water reservoir requires refilling after approximately1000 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 (Greater than 0.1 ppm hydrocarbon).
