Engine oil formulators seeking to qualify products against the upcoming ILSAC GF-6 passenger car engine oil category’s Noack volatility requirements can run tests at Savant Labs, which is now using the Noack S2 instrument from Tannas to measure evaporative losses in motor oils. The equipment has a pre-heated thermal well to provide consistent heat-up of engine oils and avoid long lag times. It can be calibrated to the atmospheric conditions of an individual lab and can collect volatile products that can affect catalysts and other engine components to gauge the presence of phosphorus, sulfur and other byproducts, Savant notes.
