15840-0 NEW AIR RELEASE VALUE APPARATUS

15840-0 New Air Release Value Apparatus is a modern laboratory instrument designed to accurately determine the air release properties of hydrocarbon-based oils in accordance with ASTM, IP, and other internationally recognised testing methods. It is engineered to provide reliable and repeatable results for quality control, research, and product development applications within the petroleum, lubricant, and industrial fluids industries.
The apparatus is a fully integrated benchtop system that combines multiple functions into a single compact unit, improving efficiency and ease of use in laboratory environments. It features a built-in density balance, precision heater, advanced temperature control system, sinker warmer, and pressure regulator, all managed through a microprocessor-based control interface for enhanced accuracy and automation.
A key design feature of the 15840-0 New Air Release Value Apparatus is its unique sliding mechanism, which allows smooth and precise positioning of the test vessel throughout the testing cycle. This ensures consistent test conditions and reduces operator effort, while also improving repeatability and safety during operation.
Developed for laboratories that require dependable performance and compliance with global testing standards, the system is built to deliver stable, high-precision measurements of air release characteristics in oils and lubricants. Its robust construction and user-friendly design make it suitable for both routine quality control and advanced research applications.

Description

Lubricant and oils containing excess amounts of en-trained air can lead to serious disruptions of equipment in operation , increased oxidation tendency and shortened lubricating oils to release en-trained air and gases.

The sample is heated and subjected to airflow at a specified rate, the duration needed for en-trained air to reduce in volume is recorded as the air bubble separation time.
