Test Method
The ASTM D2265 dropping point test permits higher temperatures than the ASTM D566 method and uses a different heating procedure: the test cell is inserted in an aluminum block oven maintained at a constant temperature that is higher than the expected dropping point of the sample. The sample temperature then rises to the dropping point without operator control.
Specifications
Conforms to the specifications of:

Description
Tests dropping points of lubricating greases at temperatures of up to 400°C(752°F). Includes thermostatically controlled aluminum block oven and sixcomplete dropping point assemblies. Six-place oven has large viewing portswith fluorescent backlighting for excellent visibility. Microprocessor PIDcontrol provides quick temperature stabilization without overshoot and the bathis protected by an overtemperature control circuit that interrupts power shouldblock temperature exceed a programmed cut-off point. Dual LED displaysprovide actual and setpoint temperature values in °C/°F format.Communications software (RS232, etc.), ramp-to-set and other enhancedfeatures are available as extra cost options. Contact your Koehler representativefor information. Microprocessor temperature control with digital readout andovertemperature safety cut-off maintains block temperature with ±0.5°Cstability. Insulated cabinet has a chemical resistant polyurethane finish.
