Pressure/Velocity Limits

RPI engineers follow a standardized testing protocol
using a Thrust Washer Test Apparatus. Since lubricants
must work with a variety of different materials, three
different tests were conducted, each with a set of
competitive products for those materials.

PRESSURE/VELOCITY LIMITS STEEL/STEEL
PRESSURE/VELOCITY LIMITS STEEL/STEEL

 

 

Results: SLIPIT consistently
outscored the competition.
