A1090 Lubricating Oil Air Release Value Tester ASTM D3427 Automatic Air Separation Tester

The A1090 Air Release Tester for Lubricating Oil is a precision petroleum laboratory instrument designed to measure the air release properties of hydraulic and lubricating oils in accordance with ASTM D3427 standard. It provides accurate and reliable testing of oil’s ability to release entrained air under controlled temperature conditions, helping ensure stable hydraulic system performance and improved lubricant quality control. Widely used in refineries, lubricant production plants, and research laboratories.

🟦 Product Overview

The A1090 Air Release Tester for Lubricating Oil is a high-precision petroleum laboratory instrument designed for determining the air release properties of hydraulic oils, turbine oils, and industrial lubricants. It is fully compliant with the ASTM D3427 standard, ensuring reliable, repeatable, and internationally recognized testing results for laboratory quality control and oil performance evaluation.

Air release performance is a critical parameter in lubricating oil applications. In hydraulic systems, entrained or dissolved air can lead to cavitation, compressibility issues, oxidation acceleration, unstable pressure transmission, and mechanical wear. Therefore, evaluating the air release characteristics of oil is essential for ensuring stable system operation and extending equipment lifespan.

The LabVV A1090 model is designed with advanced automation technology, precise temperature control, and intelligent testing functions. It simulates controlled aeration conditions and accurately measures the time required for air bubbles to separate from the oil sample under standardized conditions.

With its stable performance, user-friendly interface, and high repeatability, the A1090 Air Release Tester is widely used in petroleum laboratories, lubricant production plants, refineries, and research institutions worldwide.

🟦 Working Principle

The A1090 Air Release Tester operates based on a controlled aeration and separation measurement principle. A lubricating oil sample is placed into the test chamber and maintained at a specified temperature. Compressed air is then introduced into the oil under controlled conditions, generating a uniform dispersion of air bubbles.

After aeration, the system automatically monitors the oil sample and measures the time required for entrained air bubbles to separate and release from the oil. This air release time reflects the oil’s ability to eliminate entrained air under operational conditions.

A shorter air release time indicates better oil performance, improved hydraulic efficiency, and reduced risk of cavitation and system instability. The entire process is automatically controlled by a microprocessor system, ensuring consistent test conditions and highly accurate results.
