FOAM BATH

As per ASTM D-892, ASTM D-6082, IP

The Foaming Characteristics Test Apparatus is designed to determine the foaming tendency of lubricating oils under controlled aeration conditions. Foaming in lubricants, especially in high-speed gears or hydraulic systems, can cause inadequate lubrication, cavitation, overflow, and premature oxidation. This equipment ensures accurate and repeatable testing as per ASTM D892, IP 146, and related standards.

146, DIN 51566.
