1. Quality control of lubricant production enterprises

In the field of lubricant production, this measuring device is the core equipment for factory quality control. Production enterprises need to conduct cone penetration testing on each batch of natural lubricating grease and synthetic lubricating grease (such as lithium based lubricating grease and polyurea grease) in accordance with standards such as GB/T 269 Determination of Cone Penetration of Lubricating Greases and Stone Greases, to ensure that the product consistency meets the requirements of the corresponding grade - for example, the cone penetration of No.1 lubricating grease needs to be controlled at 265-295mm/10, and the cone penetration of No.2 lubricating grease needs to be controlled at 220-250mm/10. Through testing, it is possible to avoid the loss of lubricating grease during equipment operation due to excessive viscosity or increased friction resistance of components due to excessive viscosity, thereby ensuring the uniform quality of the factory products and meeting the basic usage needs of downstream industries.

2. Lubrication status assessment for industrial equipment operation and maintenance

In the operation and maintenance scenario of industrial equipment, this measuring device is mainly used for monitoring the performance of in-service lubricating grease in key lubrication parts. For long-term running equipment such as motor bearings, gear boxes, fan spindles, rolling mill memorial archway, etc., operation and maintenance personnel need to regularly sample and test the cone penetration of lubricating grease: if the cone penetration significantly increases compared with the initial value, it indicates that the lubricating grease has softened and deteriorated due to high temperature and oxidation, and may lose the lubricating adsorption capacity; If the cone penetration decreases, it may harden due to impurities mixed in or thickening agent aging, and an effective oil film cannot be formed. Timely replacement of lubricating grease based on test results can prevent equipment from experiencing increased wear, abnormal temperature rise, or even shutdown due to lubrication failure.

3. Adaptation testing of working conditions for automobile manufacturing and after-sales service

In the field of automobile manufacturing and after-sales, this measuring device is used to ensure the lubrication stability of key components of vehicles. Automotive wheel hub bearings, chassis suspension systems, steering gears, and other components are subjected to complex working conditions of high temperature, vibration, and dust for a long time, requiring strict requirements for the viscosity of lubricating grease - for example, wheel hub bearing lubricating grease needs to maintain a moderate viscosity under high-speed rotation to prevent loss due to centrifugal force. In the manufacturing process, enterprises ensure that pre installed lubricating grease meets the design conditions of the vehicle model through testing; During after-sales maintenance, maintenance personnel determine whether the old lubricating grease has aged due to use through testing, providing data basis for replacing the appropriate type of lubricating grease and indirectly ensuring driving safety.

4. Technical support for scientific research and third-party testing

In scientific research institutions and third-party testing laboratories, this tester is an important tool for the development and compliance certification of lubricant formulations. When researchers are developing new environmentally friendly lubricating grease and high-temperature anti-wear lubricating grease, they can adjust the proportion of thickeners (such as lithium soap and calcium soap) and optimize the product viscosity by combining cone penetration detection, making it suitable for specific application scenarios (such as low-temperature lubrication of aerospace equipment); The third-party laboratory uses this equipment to conduct cone penetration testing on the lubricating grease submitted by the enterprise for inspection according to industry standards, issue compliance reports, and provide authoritative quality certification for the product to enter the market and participate in bidding.
