Our new website www.SavantLab.com is
currently under construction and is scheduled to be available early fall 2008.
Testing
Savant performs a wide range of bench tests on engine oils,
transmission
fluids, gear oils and other automotive lubricants. We specialize in
quality
assured bench testing of engine oils for meeting API
and ILSAC specifications. Several of these required tests were
developed
right here in our laboratories. Savant offers testing services on many
GF-2, GF-3, and GF-4 bench tests, including special package prices.
Contact us for
further
information and to schedule testing on your samples.
Technical Services
Savant provides expertise to help customers develop their own
laboratory
capabilities, train technicians and interpret test results. We develop
informative, understandable graphics to communicate the meaning of the
test data. Contact
us with your needs and for further information about Savant's custom
services.
Technical Expertise
Savant's staff is headed by Research and Development Director Ted
Selby,
an internationally known researcher in lubricant properties and
performance.
His many technical
papers
and presentations emphasize the pervasive need for high quality
lubricants
in developed and developing countries. He has identified many solutions
to long standing problems in areas of lubricant measurement such as
oxidation
resistance and deposit formation, viscosity measurement at high
temperatures
and shear rates, temporary and permanent viscosity loss and
low-temperature
pumpability.
ASTM Test Methods
Savant conducts lubricant testing according to ASTM or other
international
standard test methods. We provide technical input to numerous
subcommittees
of ASTM Committee D.02 on Petroleum Products and Lubricants in order to
assist with the continuous improvement of test methods important to the
formulation of high quality lubricants. Our laboratory is a participant
in the ASTM Interlaboratory Crosscheck Program which regularly compares
results of more than 700 laboratories around the world on standard
engine
oil tests. We also participate in the ASTM Test Monitoring Center
calibration
program for ILSAC GF series bench tests.
