A leading oil manufacturer has seen its laboratory testing procedures given the seal of approval by a world-renowned organisation.
Morris Lubricants has received a strong endorsement from the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials), an international standards organisation, which ensures their quality assurances practices are comparable with the global elite.
The Shrewsbury-based company signed up for the ASTM’s engine oil proficiency testing programme, a statistical quality assurance test which enables laboratories around the world to assess their performance in conducting test methods.
Morris Lubricants – along with other leading laboratories around the world - received a sample from ASTM to examine.
Each laboratory tested the sample and their results were assessed against ASTM’s benchmarks.
Morris Lubricants undertook tests including base number, density, colour, viscosity, cold crank simulator, open and closed flash points and pour point and measured well in all, producing accurate results and leading the way against competitors in a number of categories.
Quality assurance manager Phil Saunders said the hugely positive results represented another significant step towards the business becoming the first ever lubricants manufacturer to secure the UKAS ISO 17025 accreditation for laboratory quality.
Phil said: “Our testing has always been extremely thorough and rigorous and we were very confident in our methods as we try and provide the best service possible to our customers.
“The results we have received from the ASTM confirmed that and ensures we are at the very highest level in terms of our testing procedures in the lubricants industry.
“We submitted tests across a wide spectrum of different areas and we will continue to expand the number of tests we submit to ensure we have assurances across every test method performed.
“We are already working towards providing tests on another sample we have received from the ASTM and will be submitting that before July.”
The ASTM results come on the back of Morris Lubricants investing around £200,000 in new equipment to ensure its products remain at the very highest standard.
The company purchased a new automated open flash point machine, a top-of-the-range density meter, a new Karl Fischer to measure trace levels of water, a low temperate Brookfield viscometer and a high temperature high shear simulator.
