Shear stability tester (KRL) for determining the mechanical shear stability of lubricating oils
The tapered roller bearing shear test (KRL test) is a specialized method designed to assess the mechanical stability of lubricants under high shear conditions. Conducted according to the DIN 51821 standard, this test evaluates a lubricant’s ability to maintain its consistency (shear stability) over extended periods of use. It is especially suited for lubricants that must endure extreme mechanical shear and high temperatures.
Applications
- Automotive gear oil
- Industrial gear oil
- Multi-grade engine oil
- Automatic transmission fluid
- High-pressure hydraulic oil
- Lubricating grease
