Lubricity Testing of Diesel Fuels |
HFRR: High Frequency Reciprocating Rig Testing for Diesel Fuel |
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 test methods.

BS ISO 12156-1:1997:
Diesel Fuel: Assessment of lubricity using the High Frequency Reciprocating
Rig (HFRR) Test Method
IP 450/2000:
Diesel Fuel - Assessment of Lubricity Using the High Frequency Reciprocating
Rig (HFRR).
ASTM D6079-99:
Standard Test Method for Evaluating Lubricity of Diesel Fuels by
the High Frequency Reciprocating Rig (HFRR).
The Lubricity Scuffing Load test (BOCLE D6078) is also available. Diesel fuel lubricity measures very low sulfur, sulphur severely
hydroprocessed city diesel, which entered national markets in the
1990s.
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.
