RPVOT - Measure Oxidation Stability ASTM D-2272
RPVOT (Rotating Pressure Vessel Oxidation Test)
RPVOT D-2272, previously known as RBOT (Rotating Bomb Oxidation Test)
Primary Application:
Turbine oils
Hydraulic oils
Compressor oils
Large Reservoir oils
Objective
To determine lubricant's resistance to oxidation and sludge formation using accelerated test conditions that involve high temperature, high pressure, oxygen the presence of water and active metal catalysts.
The oxidative stability is the estimation of remaining oxidative test life of in-service oil (or remaining useful life of the in-service oil ).
Test Result
Result of RPVOT is reported in minutes and are compared and trended against RPVOT of the new oil -base line.
