The Ball-On-Cylinder Lubricity Tester (BOCLE 2.0) is engineered to measure the friction and wear characteristics of jet fuels, making it a vital tool for aviation fuel quality assurance. By simulating the interaction between a fixed ball and a rotating cylinder coated with fuel, the instrument evaluates fuel lubricity and determines its ability to protect engine components from wear.

During testing, 50 ml of fuel is applied to the cylinder, which is then subjected to 30 minutes of controlled friction. The resulting wear scar is measured to quantify lubricity performance. Designed for precision, reliability, and compliance with ASTM D5001, the BOCLE 2.0 ensures consistent results in both laboratory and industrial environments.

How It Works:

• A fixed ball presses against a rotating, fuel-coated cylinder.
• Frictional resistance is measured, simulating real-world engine component stress.
• The resulting wear scar defines the fuel’s lubricity performance.
