PCS - Model HFRR -High Frequency Reciprocating Rig Machine
The PCS HFRR is the industry leading instrument for analysing diesel fuel lubricity. PCS are the original manufacturers of the HFRR instrument and are the only instrument supplier specified on the following test methods: ISO 12156, ASTM D6079, ASTM D7688. With over 30 years of development experience and continual design, quality, and user experience improvements, we remain at the forefront of the market. This next-generation HFRR comes with a host of refinements, including active environmental control replacing less accurate passive methods and removing the need to use salt solutions for humidity control. This allows for quicker attainment of ambient humidity and temperature targets to even tighter tolerances.
Part Code: PCS-005786
A ball-on plate reciprocating friction and wear test system, assessing the performance of both fuels and lubricants under boundary conditions.
An integrated touch screen display with an intuitive user-friendly interface, boosting productivity.
A fully enclosed active environmental conditioning chamber which precisely controls and maintains the chamber’s temperature and humidity, even under harsh external conditions.
Further features include updated software which allows tracking of individual users and provides access control over calibration, while the HFRR`s compact size conserves valuable bench space without compromising performance. An optional QR code scanner simplifies reference fluid and specimen batch data entry.
Additional quality-of-life features include a wipe-clean stainless-steel interior for easy cleaning, visual and audio cues to indicate test completion, and a unique self-diagnostic function that identifies potential machine malfunctions, enhancing maintenance efficiency and reducing downtime.
The HFRR is also fully compatible with HFRR microscopes, wear scar cameras, and existing accessories, alongside the ability to perform gasoline testing. Compliant with both ISO and ASTM standards, the HFRR continues PCS Instruments` legacy of excellence in fuels and lubricants testing.
