Product developers and manufacturers of machinery frequently need to test the performance of lubricants to determine the formulation that will deliver the best performance and product life.
Lubricants play a critical role in nearly every type of machinery, and their performance is often critical to the speed, reliability, and life of the machines. To properly test lubricants, there must be appropriately simulated use and environmental conditions and the proper application of the lubrication and wear regime.
Similarly, the auto industry has myriad test requirements to ensure part performance under many conditions. Few industries are as affected by test standards as the automotive sector. Brakes, clutches, seatbelts, engines, tires, etc., are all tested for their material properties in accordance with ASTM, DIN, JIS, ISO and other standards
