Ducom Instruments (USA) Inc. products
General Tribology
Ducom Unitest - Universal Tester
The UNITEST can be equipped with a variety of loading and sensing heads that are quickly interchangeable. These heads are available with force measurement capabilities in 1, 2, 3 and 6 axis. These load cells can be strain gauged, capacitive or piezoelectric. Our patented multi-axis load sensor offers unparalleled performance in a compact form factor. Another one of our patented sensor is designed to fully mechanically decouple forces for unparalleled performance.
Ducom - Multi Capability Tribometer
A VERSATILE WEAR AND FRICTION TESTER FOR EVERY TRIBOLOGY LAB. The modular POD-4.0 is a tribometer with many capabilities. Use it as a pin/ball on disk for rotary tests, linear reciprocation or traction measurement simply by choosing the right module. Its automation, sensitivity and ultrawide range of operation make its capabilities unmatched.
Ducom - Vacuum Tribometer
A configurable, modular tribometer with vacuum, temperature, motion and loading options. The VT-3.0 is our third generation vacuum tribometer that is now modular and more capable than ever. Easily switch from manual to automatic loading, change test modes from rotary to angular oscillation and even linear oscillation. Available in both desktop and floor standing formats to accommodate your space requirements.
Ducom - Abrasion Tester
A single, compact and automatic tester to bring complete three body abrasion testing capabilities to your lab. Dry sand abrasion (ASTM G65) or abrasion in slurry (ASTM G105, ASTM B611), the ABT-3 can do it all.
Ducom - Air Jet Erosion Tester
A Solid Particle Erosion (SPE) Tester that is capable of conducting erosions tests across a very wide range of erosion conditions. The Ducom Air Jet Erosion Tester is a unique and a feature rich erosion tester that is capable of testing bulk materials and coatings under erosion. Its capabilities range from subjecting sample to tightly controlled gentle erosion to some of the harshest erosion conditions seen on the field.
Lubricant Tribology
Ducom - Four Ball Tester
The original TR 30 Series was the first Four Ball Tester on the market that combined the robustness required for Extreme Pressure (EP) tests and the sensitivity required for Wear Preventive (EP) tests in a single machine. Our latest generation of this tester improves on its performance and accuracy.
Ducom - Four Ball Testers
The four-ball test is a fast, repeatable and an accurate way to test lubricants for their wear preventive, extreme pressure and frictional properties. With high levels of automation, the FBT-3 makes this test easy to run. Its simple interface hides powerful features and technologies. A patented friction measurement system, automated scar prediction system and other features make four-ball testing more accurate and convenient than ever.
Petroleum Testers
Pensky Martens - Flash Point Tester (FPM)
The Ducom Pensky Martens Flash Point Tester (FPM) provides accurate and secure flash point testing to determine volatility and flammability of fuels, lubricating oils and other petroleum products. The FPM is an automatic system capable of conducting the Pensky-Martens closed cup flash point testing. It comes with an integrated touchscreen interface that makes the system very easy to use.
ABEL - Flash Point Tester
DETERMINE THE FLAMMABLE AND COMBUSTIBLE PROPERTIES OF SAMPLES WITH A FLASH POINT BETWEEN -18°C AND 71°C. The AFP offers fully-automatic, temperature-controlled flash point determination of solvents, kerosene and chemicals. It is designed with an ionization detector, an automated shutter system and electric ignitors.
