Laboratory
The quality of YUKOIL lubricants is confirmed at every stage of production, from raw materials to finished products on the conveyor. This control is ensured by YUKOIL's own research laboratory, accredited by the State Standard of Ukraine and equipped with one of the most modern complexes of equipment in Ukraine for petroleum product research.
The laboratory's technological equipment allows specialists to conduct in-depth analysis of incoming raw materials daily, as well as lubricating materials at each stage of production – from base oils to finished products under the VUKO brand.
What indicators does the YUKOIL laboratory control?
Among the key parameters that our specialists regularly check are:
- Density at 20°C
- Kinematic viscosity at temperature
- Open crucible flash point
- Pour point
- Mass fraction of mechanical impurities
- Mass fraction of water
- Corrosion of metals
- Ash content
- Mass fraction of sulfur
- Mass fraction of phenol
- Stability against oxidation
- Acid number
- Mass fraction of zinc
- Mass fraction of calcium
- Viscosity index
- Alkalinity number
- Sulfate ash
- Degree of purity
- Tribological characteristics on a 4-ball machine
- Dropping point
- Colloidal stability
- Elemental analysis
And hundreds of other analyses covering the entire spectrum of physicochemical properties of lubricants.
Why is laboratory control important
Continuous monitoring at every stage of production ensures that each batch of product meets international standards even before it is packaged. For transmission and engine oils, even minor deviations in viscosity or additive content can affect engine life, which is why laboratory control is an integral part of YUKOIL's quality system.
When you purchase YUKOIL products, you can be 100% confident in their quality, which meets the highest global standards.
