HFRR

The PCS HFRR is the industry-leading instrument for analyzing diesel fuel lubricity. PCS is the original manufacturer of the HFRR instrument and is the only instrument supplier specified in the following test methods: ISO 12156, ASTM D6079, and ASTM D7688. With over 30 years of development experience and continual design, quality, and user experience improvements, we remain at the forefront of the market.

This next-generation HFRR comes with a host of refinements, including active environmental control that replaces less accurate passive methods and removes the need to use salt solutions for humidity control. This allows for quicker attainment of ambient humidity and temperature targets to even tighter tolerances.

Further features include updated software that allows tracking of individual users and provides access control over calibration, while the HFRR's compact size conserves valuable bench space without compromising performance. An optional QR code scanner simplifies reference fluid and specimen batch data entry.

Additional quality-of-life features include a wipe-clean, stainless-steel interior for easy cleaning, visual and audio cues to indicate test completion, and a unique self-diagnostic function that identifies potential machine malfunctions, enhancing maintenance efficiency and reducing downtime.

The HFRR is also fully compatible with HFRR microscopes, wear scar cameras, and existing accessories, alongside the ability to perform gasoline testing. Compliant with both ISO and ASTM standards, the HFRR continues PCS Instruments' legacy of excellence in fuels and lubricants testing.
