About Our Laboratory
After multimillion-Euro investments done before 2015, Verila Lubricants Testing Laboratory is equipped with the most up-to-date measuring equipment and test rigs, with capabilities to test lubricating greases according to the requirements of the relevant international, European, regional and national standard test methods (ISO, EN, DIN, ASTM, BDS).
Verila Lubricants Testing Laboratory also takes part in the ASTM Proficiency Testing Programs, an important supplementary source of validation of accuracy and highest level of compliance with the testing requirements and particularities.
From the well-known required production-validation tests, to testing competitor products to benchmark our products' performances, the team of highly-experienced chemical engineers in Verila Lubricants Testing Laboratory perform on a daily basis a vast number of laboratory analyses such as: worked and unworked penetration, grease dropping point temperature, low temperature pumpability test, penetration at low temperatures, accelerated oil separation measurement, free alkali and free acids, grease mechanical stability, corrosion preventive efficiency, accelerated tests of corrosion on several metals, accelerated wear tests, accelerated mechanical stability check, stickiness - adhesiveness of the greases, resistance to water spray off, water influence on grease, in static and dynamic conditions, determination of anti-wear performances, extreme pressure performances (EP), the flash points of the raw materials we utilize, infrared (IR) spectroscopy for raw materials, the Fourier - transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) as the ultimate grease content check, and many more.
