96700-2 Herschel Emulsifier / Seta ARV System is a benchtop, fully automated laboratory instrument designed to evaluate the air release properties of turbine, hydraulic, and gear oils. It is widely used in lubrication laboratories, power generation facilities, and industrial quality control environments where the ability of oils to release entrained air is critical to system performance and reliability.
The system measures the Air Release Value (ARV), which is an important indicator of how quickly entrained air bubbles can separate from an oil after agitation. Poor air release characteristics can lead to issues such as cavitation, pump inefficiency, reduced lubrication performance, and increased wear in mechanical systems. Accurate testing is therefore essential for ensuring optimal oil performance in high-speed or high-pressure applications.
The 96700-2 Herschel Emulsifier / Seta ARV System is designed as a compact benchtop unit with full automation, allowing for consistent, repeatable testing with minimal operator intervention. Its automated operation improves accuracy while reducing variability between tests, making it well-suited for routine quality control as well as research applications.
The instrument provides precise control over test conditions and ensures that entrained air is measured under standardised and repeatable parameters. This allows laboratories to confidently compare results across different oil formulations and batches.
