Lubrication Film Test - h/p/cosmos 150/50 mercury Operating And Service Manual

Lubrication film test

The condition of the oil film between running surface and running belt can be determined with the lubricant test
[cos14379]. The lubricant test consists of a pre-weighed commercial paper tissue. The tissue is pulled through the
gap between the running belt and running surface for a defined length in order to absorb a certain quantity of
lubricant. Based on previous experience, h/p/cosmos is able to evaluate the quantity of oil absorbed by measuring
the difference in weight. However, the user should realize that this test can only show approximate values and
trends and is not meant to replace the direct inspection by an authorized h/p/cosmos technician at the prescribed
time intervals.
For security reasons, the running machine must be switched off and the power plug must be
pulled for full separation from the mains.
