Lubricity Testing of Diesel Fuels

HFRR: High Frequency Reciprocating Rig

Global lubricity testing for ultra low sulphur / sulfur diesel fuels (ULSD):

Intertek diesel fuel testing laboratories offer HFRR analysis for ULSD fuels in Europe, Australia, Singapore and the USA. To see the complete listing of diesel tests available, please visit diesel fuel testing. HFRR testing (High Frequency Reciprocating Rig) for ULSD diesel fuel lubricity conforms to the EN 590 specification. Testing is run to BS ISO 12156-1, IP 450 or ASTM D6079 HFRR test methods.

• BS ISO 12156-1:1997
• IP 450/2000
• ASTM D6079-99
• Lubricity Scuffing Load test (BOCLE D6078)

Low Sulphur Diesel and Lubricity Issues:
Hydroprocessing removes sulfur and significant amounts of polar and aromatic compounds that give conventional diesel fuel adequate lubricating capability. Low lubricity in diesel fuel can cause engine problems unless treated with additives. Measurement of diesel fuel lubricity characteristics is important in order to monitor lubricity additives and final fuel quality.
