Tamson Instruments Specification sheet High Temperature Foaming Characteristics of Lubricating Oils ASTM D6082 – IP 453 Tamson High Temperature Foaming Bath Ambient ... 160 Stainless steel cover, zincor powder coated case and borosilicate glass windows Range Outer bath material Inner bath material Construction The Tamson D6082 apparatus consists of a visibility bath and a rack. The bath is used as a high temperature bath. The bath is constructed with a glass jar with a diameter of 300 mm and a height of 450 mm. Around the jar is a zincor powder coated case equipped with two glass windows and a stainless steel cover. The bath has two cooling coils and has the capacity to hold up to four 1000 ml graduated glass foam cylinders. The bath is equipped with RS232 communication port. Next to the bath, the apparatus is supplied with a rack to hold up to four foam cylinders. On this rack two flow meters are mounted and there is space for an optional dryer tower to be mounted on the same rack. General ASTM D6082 covers the determination of the foaming characteristics of lubricating oils at 150°C. The tendency of oils to foam can be a serious problem in systems such as high-speed gearing, high-volume pumping, and splash lubrication. Inadequate lubrication, cavitation, and overflow loss of lubricant can lead to mechanical failure. This test method is used in the evaluation of oils for such operating conditions. High temperature stability Up to four positions per bath Clamps and rack to hold cylinders Bath Drain Robust Bath volume The rack also comes with a spill tray which can be removed for cleaning purposes. The Tamson high temperature foaming apparatus is standard supplied as shown in table 1 on the next page, suitable for two test positions in the bath. Two flow meters are included. Custom-made configurations are available on request. Primary benefits of Tamson D6082 apparatus Up to four positions per bath Rack with clamps to overcome the buoyancy of the foam cylinders Stirrer with long shaft for optimal temperature uniformity Delrin stoppers instead of rubber stoppers, as rubber stoppers can crack over time Levelling feet to ensure the bath spirit is level Separate opening in cover to add bath medium to make sure the foaming cylinder is immersed to the 900 mL mark Robust zincor powder coated case around glass jar Removable outside window panels for cleaning purposes Bath is equipped with two cooling coils and can be used for ASTM D892 if needed Thermometer openings in cover Stainless steel cover

Tamson Instruments Specification sheet High Temperature Foaming Characteristics of Lubricating Oils ASTM D6082 – IP 453 Accuracy The Tamson foaming bath has a very high temperature stability, because it has a stirrer with a long shaft, resulting in better temperature uniformity inside the bath. The set point can be set in steps of 0.01°C (two decimals) in the range of 0°C up to 160°C (32..320°F). The readout is displayed in two decimals. Safety The bath conforms to CE regulation. It is further equipped with a mechanical resettable safety thermostat. A float is included and will indicate...
