30 Analytical Instrumentation ISO 17034 & 17025-Certifi ed density standards to ensure
accuracy and traceability Obtaining highly reliable analysis data is key to operating a successful business regardless of industry. For analytical instruments to continually achieve pinpoint results across even the fi nest of measurement parameter changes, maintenance is mandatory. If regular maintenance is not performed, instrument reliability may fall considerably, a regrettable outcome for owners of expensive analysers who care about getting quality work done.
Next evolution in lubricity evaluation - automated testers powered
In addition to being a trusted analytical instruments maker for over 60 years, Kyoto Electronics Manufacturing (KEM) is also a producer of density and refractive index liquid standards, traceable to the stringent requirements of the national Japanese standard. KEM’s high-quality standard liquids are used to verify if your density meter or refractometer is in good working order, ensuring the high reliability of your day-to-day analysis results.
by artifi cial intelligence (AI) Paltro the automation and AI division of Ducom, presents fully automated lubricity testers such as Four Ball Tester (FBT 3.0), High Frequency Reciprocating Rig (HFRR 4.2) and Ball on Cylinder Lubricity Evaluator (BOCLE 2.0). AI powered tools automate the measurement of wear scar by deploying image segmentation and advanced edge detection algorithms. This completely eliminates operator to operator variability giving precise lubricity measurements every time.
The four-ball test is a fast, repeatable and an accurate way to test lubricants for their wear preventive, extreme pressure and frictional properties. With high levels of automation, the FBT-3 makes this test easy to run. Its simple interface hides powerful features that include
• Advanced stable loading system from 50 to 10000 N suited for water based lubricants to high viscosity, high scuffi ng load greases
• Patented friction force measurement that provides accurate measurement over the entire load and speed range from EHD to mixed and boundary lubrication
• Specially designed image acquisition system that can image balls in the native state without removing from the ball pot. This signifi cantly improves the quality of measurements.
• In-built modularity for future upgrades such as 200 deg C module and KRL shear stability module
HFRR 4.2 is designed for compliance with ASTM D6079 and ISO 12156 standards for diesel fuel lubricity and puts the latest technological advancements at your fi ngertips. A compact tabletop, ergonomic design integrates the controller, automatic humidity control system and the HFRR test unit in a single, sleek instrumented cabinet reducing footprint. Key features of HFRR 4.2 include
• A unique electronically controlled salt-free humidity system that uses only distilled water and does not require manual activities by operator making the system clean and simple to operate
• Our user friendly interface places all necessary controls in a single screen to quickly set up tests with minimal training • Real time stroke length using inline sensors enables control and electronic calibration of displacement • A single source supplier for instrument, test rings, balls and accessories ensures better quality control BOCLE 2.0 is a fully automated tester for aviation fuel lubricity assessment for effortlessly testing. Key features of BOCLE 2.0 include • Unique hybrid automated loading, where the calibrated weight is applied automatically • Conditioned air unit with programmed logic controls the valve opening and switch over from pre-treatment to test phase.
• Inbuilt sensors and data acquisition continuously monitor and log the test conditions for each test with a unique ID. This can be retrieved ensuring complete traceability.
• An intuitive and simple user interface allows user to execute the complete test sequence with a single click. • A single source supplier for instrument, test rings, balls and accessories ensures better quality control Stay tuned for more news on BOCLE 2.0 automation

Alpha Resources LLC, has recently expanded their product offerings to include borate fl ux options. Fluxes are commonly used in sample preparation for XRF, ICP, and AA analysis to optimise the solubility of sample and provide better fl uidity for accelerated dissolution, better pouring, less sticking, and less bubbles.
Alpha’s new line of fl uxes is offered in either powder or bead form with two grades of purity (pure 99.98 + % or ultra-pure 99.995 + %); they are also available with or without integrated non-wetting agents (NWAs). A variety of chemical composition options are available with the lithium metaborate base including: lithium bromide, lithium iodide, and lithium tetraborate.
Customers can be assured that the high quality, stable fl uxes purchased from Alpha Resources offer outstanding fl uidity and are both non-hydroscopic and dust-free. For ease of use, Alpha’s fl ux line is also compatible with automated dispensing balances, including Malvern Panalytical’s LeDoser and LeDoser-12.
“At Alpha, we are always looking for ways to better serve our customers. In 2024, we have several product expansions planned to support our position as the preferred consumables supply partner for our customers’ labs and businesses,” stated Ken Mantei, Director of Operations, at Alpha Resources. “This recent addition of a robust line of borate fl uxes and additives allows our customers to take advantage of Alpha’s below-OEM pricing and high quality, with the convenience of ordering multiple supplies from a single trusted source. Alpha continues to prioritise customer convenience and availability of high-quality products to ensure reliable results for our customers.”
