The Optimol SRV 4 apparatus (SRV is a german acronym for oscillation, friction and wear) is a multiple lubrication test machine. It is versatile in the sense that most of the tests parameters are editable by means of the installed software. These parameters mainly include: load, stroke, temperature, load stepsize, machine cut-off values etc.
Basic tests include:
A constant load test (like the HFRR)
An increasing load test where the load increases @ 50N/min to evaluate the Load Carrying Capacity (LCC). This test is also known as a film life test.
