EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D5182 testing. This test method, often referred to as the FZG Visual Method, aims to measure the frictional load capacity of oils used to lubricate hardened steel gears.
The test method is limited by the capabilities of the equipment, and the observed performance may not be directly related to the friction performance observed with the spiral bevel on the hypoid gear.
In many automotive and industrial applications, power transmission is accomplished using gear systems. It is well known that at higher operating speeds, the lubricant/additive system can be an important factor in preventing frictional damage to gears.
The FZG visual method is a simpler and faster alternative to the FZG gear oil test, which requires more advanced measurement techniques to assess wear and damage to gear wheels. The results of the FZG visual method can be used to quickly scan gear lubricants and compare the performance of different lubricants.
EUROLAB assists manufacturers with ASTM D5182 test compliance. Our test experts offer the best service and controlled testing process in our laboratories to you, our manufacturers and suppliers, with professional working mission and principles.
