ME LAB Flashcards
Used to measure the volume of the liquid fuel sample.
GRADUATED CYLINDER
Used to measure the specific gravity of the liquid fuel.
HYDROMETER
Used to measure the temperature of the liquid fuel sample.
THERMOMETER
Used to measure the viscosity of the liquid fuel.
VISCOMETER
A variety of liquid fuels can be used for the experiment, such as gasoline, diesel, and kerosene.
LIQUID FUEL SAMPLES
Used to measure the mass of the liquid fuel sample.
BALANCE
are important parameters in determining the flammability and fire hazard of these materials.
FLASH POINT AND FIRE POINT
is defined as the temperature at which a liquid fuel gives off sufficient vapor to ignite upon exposure to an ignition source.
FLASH POINT
is defined as the temperature at which the vapor given off by a liquid fuel continues to burn for at least 5 seconds after the ignition source is removed
FIRE POINT
are commonly used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and industrial manufacturing, as lubricants to reduce friction between moving parts and protect against wear and tear.
GREASES
is the temperature at which the grease transitions from a semi-solid to a liquid state, indicating its maximum operating temperature
DROP POINT OF A GREASE
is a measure of its resistance to deformation under a specified weight and temperature. It is an important property to consider when selecting a grease for an application, as it affects its ability to maintain its structure and provide lubrication over time.
HARDNESS OF A GREASE
a semi-solid or solid lubricant that is composed of a base oil, a thickener, and additives
GREASE SAMPLE
a device used to determine the drop point of a grease by hearing a sample until it transitions from a semi-solid to a liquid state and falls from a cup
DROP POINT APPARATUS
a device used to measure the hardness of a grease by applying a specified weight to a sample and measuring its resistance to deformation.
GREASE WORKER
a tool used to measure temperature
THERMOMETER
a tool used to measure the depth of penetration of a grease sample under a specified weight and temperature
PENETROMETER
is a widely used method in the petroleum industry to determine the amount of carbon residue left behind after a petroleum product is heated under specific conditions. This residue can affect the performance of the product and can cause fouling of engines and other equipment. The test is used to ensure that the product meets the required specifications and is suitable for its intended use
CARBON RESIDUE TEST
The substance being tested for its carbon residue, such as a lubricating oil, bitumen, or heavy fuel.
PETROLEUM PRODUCT SAMPLE
A device designed to heat and measure the amount of carbon residue left in a petroleum product after heating under specific conditions.
CONRADSON CARBON RESIDUE (CCR) APPARATUS
A cylindrical glass or plastic container used to hold the petroleum product sample during the Carbon Residue Test
TEST TUBE
heat source used to heat the Conradson Carbon Residue apparatus.
BUNSEN BURNER OR HOT PLATE
An instrument used to measure the temperature of the Conradson Carbon Residue apparatus during the test.
THERMOMETER
Pure water that has been boiled and condensed back into a liquid form to remove impurities.
DISTILLED WATER
