Accepted by SAE and ASTM, the standard test method to measure diesel fuel lubricity is conducted on the High Frequency Reciprocating Rig (HFRR).
With HFRR, a ball is placed on a flat surface and rapidly vibrated back and forth with a stroke distance of one millimeter while 200 grams of weight is applied.

GL organized, with the support of MAN and Aalborg, a Workshop on the issue of Low Sulphur Fuels and the implementation of the EU Directive in force from January 1st, 2010, which requires the use of maximum 0.1% sulphur content fuel on ships at berth in EU.
