Compressor Oils laboratories may also do the following tests:

Viscosity Testing: Measures the oil's resistance to flow Testing
ensuring suitability for specific compressor types and operating conditions Testing
Thermal Stability Testing: Evaluates the oil's ability to resist breakdown at high temperatures Testing
Wear Protection Testing: Assesses the oil's effectiveness in reducing wear on compressor components Testing
Corrosion Inhibition Testing: Determines the oil's ability to protect against corrosion within the compressor system Testing
Compatibility Testing: Ensures the oil does not negatively interact with compressor materials or the compressed gas Testing
Foaming Tendency and Stability Testing: Measures the tendency of oil to foam and its ability to dissipate foam Testing
critical for maintaining lubrication efficacy Testing
