Test Methods
Models Available
The King BLB measures low-temperature viscosity of ATF’s, gear oils and hydraulic oils, and other fluid lubricants using a patented SimAir® technique that allows the use of a small, less costly, constant temperature liquid bath. The only technique available that permits independent sample analyses eliminates the need for batch sample testing.
The BLB is a widely used low-temperature test for a variety of industry specifications.
LNP-5 | Low-Temperature Newtonian Oil
Contact King Refrigeration for additional reference oils to run ASTM D2983 or DIN 51398.

The patented SimAir® Test Cells utilize a unique air-gap between the test sample and the liquid bath medium to simulate the original air bath method.
The BLB Test Cell Carousel accommodates twelve (12) samples, allows convenient alignment of each cell to the appropriate test position, and holds both SimAir® and DIN glassware.
A user-friendly touchscreen viscometer facilitates D2983 and DIN 51398 testing.
