On November 13, 2018, a lubricant technology seminar hosted by Universal Technology was held in Tianjin. Total (Tianjin) Industrial Co., Ltd., Chuguang Lubricants (China) Co., Ltd., China North Engine Research Institute, and other units were invited to participate.

Universal Technology has been engaged in the lubricant industry for nearly 30 years and has been committed to promoting new products, technologies, and methods for lubricant testing in China. This seminar mainly demonstrated the lubricating oil analysis and testing instruments of TANNAS Company from United States. The products are TBS3000 high temperature and high shear viscosity tester, Quantum rotating oxygen bomb tester, TFAB lubricating oil foam property tester, NOACK S2 evaporation loss tester, MRV boundary pumping tester, and BLB702 low temperature Brinell viscosity tester.

At 9 a.m., the seminar officially began. Mr. Bai Yanfeng, a senior technical engineer from Universal Technology, delivered a speech at the meeting and introduced the company overview and business situation of the oil sales department of Universal Technology.

Then, Mr. Gordon Cox, Vice President of Savant Group of United States, gave a presentation. Firstly, the Savant Group is introduced, which founded in 1969 in Midland, Michigan, USA. Savant Group is committed to participating in and solving existing and future engine oil problems. The group includes independent testing laboratory Savant, lubricant analysis instrument manufacturing companies Tannas King and IOM, which can provide a global engine oil database.

Next, Mr. Gordon Cox introduced the engine oil industry standard SAE J300 (the American Society of Motor Vehicle Engineers standard for oil viscosity classification), ILSAC International Lubricant Standardization and Certification Committee, which has currently developed engine oil specifications for GF-2 to GF-5, and GM Dexos the quality standard for engine lubricants established by General Motors (GM).

Finally, Mr. Gordon Cox introduced the laboratory instruments provided by Tannas King that can meet the standards of engine oil, including the rotary oxygen bomb tester QUANTUM, high-temperature high shear viscosity tester TBS, high-temperature anti foam tester TFAB, Brinell scanning viscosity tester SBT/SB+2, evaporation loss tester NOACK S2, high-temperature oxidation sedimentation tester TEOST, low-temperature Brinell viscosity tester BLB, and boundary pumping tester MRV. The corresponding of Chinese standards and ASTM standards for these instruments were compared and discussed.

At the end of the meeting, Ms. Tu Jiong, a product engineer from Universal Technology, gave a report, sharing the history of tribology and introducing the overview and main products of FALEX Company of United States and PCS Company of United Kingdom.

During the tea break, the customers visited the exhibits and had in-depth discussions with Universal Technology staff on the parameters and performance of the instruments. During the friendly conversation between the two parties, customers gained a deeper understanding of the products, and expressed great recognition for the products of ASTM standards.

In 2018, Universal Technology successfully held 5 technical seminars in the oil industry. We will continue to improve and actively strengthen close cooperation with manufacturers and enterprise customers to help accelerate the development of the lubricant industry.
