This Reichert test method covers the procedure for determining wear properties (WP) and Extreme pressure properties (EP) to evaluate lubricant and additives.
This test rig consists of rigidly mounted test roller (cylinder) is pressed against friction wheel which is cross-cylinder contact configuration. The friction wheel partially submerged in the lubricant bath under test. In this test, rig loading is applied through dead weights. Normal load and frictional force measured through dual measurement load cell. Contact type acoustic emission detector Incorporated for scratching noise from the contact
