Tests In Style

A leading oil manufacturer
has seen its laboratory
testing procedures given the
seal of approval by a worldrenowned organisation.

endorsement from the ASTM (American
Society for Testing and Materials), an
international standards organisation,
which ensures their quality assurances
practices are comparable with the global
elite.
The Shrewsbury-based company signed
up for the ASTM’s engine oil proficiency
testing programme, a statistical
quality assurance test which enables
laboratories around the world to assess
their performance in conducting test
methods.
Morris Lubricants – along with other
leading laboratories around the world
- received a sample from ASTM to
examine.
Each laboratory tested the sample and
their results were assessed against
ASTM’s benchmarks.
Morris Lubricants undertook tests
including base number, density, colour,
viscosity, cold crank simulator, open and
closed flash points and pour point and
measured well in all, producing accurate
results and leading the way against
competitors in a number of categories.
of Morris Lubricants investing around
£200,000 in new equipment to ensure
its products remain at the very highest

The company purchased a new
automated open flash point machine, a
top-of-the-range density meter, a new
Karl Fischer to measure trace levels
of water, a low temperate Brookfield
viscometer and a high temperature high
shear simulator.
Quality assurance manager Phil
Saunders said the hugely positive results
represented another significant step
towards the business becoming the first
ever lubricants manufacturer to secure
the UKAS ISO 17025 accreditation for
laboratory quality.

manufacturing lubricants since 1869.
Over 140 years of development has
