Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the caldera-forms domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Our Lab Is Your Lab - The Falex Test | Eastern Oil Company

Did you know Eastern Oil Company has an on-site Laboratory? The Laboratory Team spends their time assuring product quality, formulating custom blended solutions and offers technical support for your operation. From plant surveys to sampling and analysis – The Lab is committed to partnering with your business to achieve operational excellence.

The lab is equipped with many different pieces of equipment and capabilities. Today, we’re going to discuss the Falex Test – The EOC Laboratory uses the Falex pin and vee-block test to simulate wear and test the lubricity of our oils. While submerged in a lubricant, the machine rotates a pin against two blocks that are being squeezed together. The less torque measured during the test, the better the lubricity…

In another test, the amount of wear can be measured by counting the teeth on the ratchet wheel that squeezes the blocks. If there is wear, the wheel must be turned to ensure that the same load is being applied thus resulting in a change in teeth… Our Laboratory is one of the many resources available to your operation!
