ABSSL
A fully automatic laboratory instrument for evaluating the scuffing load resistance of diesel (middle distillate) fuel according to ASTM D6078.
FEATURES
- Microprocessor control of all instrument functions
- Simple user interface. Instrument functions can be upgraded by downloading new firmware
- Both the standard ASTM D6078 test sequences (Procedure A and B) come pre-loaded into microprocessor controller
- Automatic control of whole test sequence
- No operator-induced variability in test results
- Automatic flow controllers for moist and dry air
- No operator input needed to set the humidity and flow rate of the conditioned air
- Optional PC-based control and data logging software
- Allows alternative test programmes to be downloaded into instrument, and test parameters to be recorded as a permanent record
- Humidity and temperature measurement does not need to be re-calibrated – simply exchange the combined relative humidity and temperature probe for a precalibrated unit
- Single source of supply for both the test rings and test equipment
The PCS Instruments ABSSL (Automated BOCLE System - Scuffing Load) is a fully automatic laboratory instrument for carrying out lubricity testing of diesel (middle distillate) fuel. It fully conforms to the requirements of ASTM D-6078 “Standard Test Method for Evaluating Lubricity of Diesel Fuels by the Scuffing Load Ball-on- Cylinder Lubricity Evaluator (SLBOCLE)”.
