Foamer Foaming Characteristics Analyzer is a fully-automated foaming characteristics (tendency) analyzer according to ASTM D892, D6082, D1881, D7840 and user-defined custom methods.

Foaming tendency is one of the fundamental properties of a lubricating fluid which can be caused by detergents, anti-oxidation additives, mixing of various types of lubricating oils or by the dust or water. Foaming in a lubricant causes improper lubrication and oil loss that leads to high expenses and pollution. Also the lubricant’s capacity to bear the load gets lower; oxidation gets higher and heat transfer property becomes inefficient.

Foamer Series Analyzers are designed to measure foaming tendency of lubricants and anti-freeze samples in a dry oven block up to 160°C. With different models, Foamer Analyzer is a stand-alone unit, equipped with flow, temperature controllers and foam volume sensors to avoid operator requirement for analysis and reporting.
