APPARATUS FOR SHEAR STABILITY OF LUBRICATING OILS CONTAINING POLYMERS AZA1329A
The AZA1329A Apparatus for Shear Stability of Lubricating Oils Containing Polymers by AZA LAB is a precision-engineered testing system designed for determining the shear stability of polymer-containing lubricating oils under controlled mechanical stress conditions. Developed in accordance with DIN 51350-6, the apparatus evaluates the permanent viscosity loss of lubricants subjected to mechanical shear similar to real gearbox operating conditions.
The AZA1329A utilizes a tapered roller shearing system (KRL – Kugel Rollen Lager) integrated with a Shell Four-Ball Tester and constant temperature control system to accurately assess lubricant degradation and viscosity stability. This instrument is widely used in lubricant testing laboratories, petrochemical industries, transmission oil development centers, research institutions, and quality control facilities.

APPARATUS FOR HYDROGEN SULFIDE TESTER AZA1314
The Apparatus for Hydrogen Sulfide Tester AZA1314 from AZA Lab conforms to the ASTM D7621 Standard Test Method for the determination of hydrogen sulfide in fuel oils by rapid liquid phase extraction.
In this method, a weighed test sample is placed into a heated vessel containing a diluent base oil, where air is bubbled through to extract hydrogen sulfide gas. The extracted gas is then directed, via a vapor phase processor (Procedure A), to an H₂S-specific electrochemical detector, which measures its concentration in air and calculates the amount in the liquid phase in mg/kg. For Procedure B, the use of a filter cartridge is not required.
