Cannon Auto Cold Cranking Simulator Model CCS 2000

• Measures the apparent low temperature viscosity and performance of lubricants; simulating the starting (cranking) of an engine at specific low temperatures
• Insures that the various viscosity grade motor oils will not hinder a car’s ability to start at times when the outside temperature is low
  Cost: $50,000
   

Brookfield DV II+ Pro/Lawler LB 76 Temperature Bath

• Measures fluid viscosity (resistance to flow) at different shear rates and temperatures
• Measures cold temperature properties of gear oils and transmission fluids insuring that the manufactured fluids will still perform properly at the low end of their design specifications
  Cost: $45,000
   

Noack Volatility NCK2 5G

• Determines the evaporation loss percentage in a lubricating oil
• Determines how much of a lubricant will volatilize (evaporate) under standard operating conditions of an engine
• Measures against API limits for the amount of volatility allowed by API oil categories
  Cost: $45,000
   

Oxford Twin X 8000 X-Ray Spectrometer

• Quantitative analysis of elements ranging from an atomic weight of 11 (Na) to an atomic weight of 92 (U); calculates the ppm of a specific element
• Measures specific elements that are present in additive packages to insure that the right package is being used at the correct levels to insure the manufactured lubricant meets the design tolerances
• Checks the chemical thumbprint of the finished lubricant
  Cost: $40,000
   

Cannon Auto Viscometer Model CAV 2100

• Measures the viscosity (fluid resistance to flow) of lubricants as specified by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) to insure compliance of temperature and grade of finished lubricants
• Measures viscosity at 40c and 100c to insure that blended lubricant meet SAE/API service grades (i.e. 5W-30, 10W-30, 15W40)
• These two viscosities are also used in the calculation of the VI (viscosity index) which is an indicator of how a lubricant’s viscosity changes with temperature
• The higher the VI, the less effected the lubricant is to temperature changes
  Cost: $80,000
   

CAM2’s commitment to quality is demonstrated with the placement of onsite personnel for quality assurance at our manufacturing facilities. CAM2’s quality assurance personnel are responsible for developing, managing, and implementing CAM2’s on-site quality assurance program. These are highly trained individuals with an extensive background in the chemical & lubricant market and certification as a Certified Lubrication Specialist (CLS). CAM2’s Director of Technology & Quality Assurance is responsible for insuring that every product manufactured for CAM2 and shipped to our customers is manufactured to CAM2’s rigid specifications, packaged to CAM2’s demanding packaging requirements, and shipped to our customers on time in order to meet all of our customers’ expectations.

CAM2’s commitment to quality lubrication products is backed by its 300,000 Mile Engine Protector Program.
