Tehran, Iran – December 27, 2014
– Sales manager Andy and engineer Liu of Dalian All World I/E CO., LTD (AWD) spent a warm winter day inside the Tehran laboratory, tailoring a nine-piece Lubricant oil analyzer package that matched both the technical scope and the budget realities of the client.
The instruments including:
AWD-02 Flash Point Tester (Closed Cup Method) ASTM D93
AWD-03 Kinematic Viscosity Tester ASTM D445
AWD-05C Distillation Tester ASTM D86
AWD-11A Moisture Tester ASTM D95
AWD-12 Pour Point Tester ASTM D97
AWD-18A Density Tester for Petroleum Oil ASTM D1298
AWD-24 Foaming Tester for Lubricant Oil ASTM D892
AWD-25 Water Separability Tester ASTM D1401
AWD-34 Air Release Properties Tester for Petroleum Oils ASTM D3427
—represent the first batch of AWD Lubricant oil analyzer systems ever shipped to Iran.
Rather than offering a standard catalogue bundle, Andy and engineer Liu measured the existing 4 m × 6 m room, noted the single 230 V line and recorded a monthly throughput target of 120 samples. On the spot he re-grouped the Lubricant oil analyzer benches into an L-shaped layout, eliminating one fume-hood redundancy and cutting the original quotation by 18 %. The client praised the proposal as “high-precision yet cost-conscious” and immediately signed the contract, confident that the new Lubricant oil analyzer line-up will open same-day testing services to local steel mills and independent blenders.
When the last calibration certificate was stamped,Iran Technical Director , invited Andy to his home in the Elahiyeh district. The host family is very hospitable. The courtyard glowed with golden fairy lights; kebab skewers sizzled beside a bubbling pot of saffron rice. Hostess handed Andy a hand-woven table-runner embroidered with tiny oil drops, a nod to the Lubricant oil analyzer that had brought the two companies together. Between laughter, music and endless cups of cardamom tea, the host raised his glass and declared: “Today we calibrated instruments, but we also calibrated friendship—may every Lubricant oil analyzer reading be as reliable as this moment.”
