High Pressure Tribometer: Specialized Friction & Wear Analysis for Sealed Gas Environments
The Rtec Instruments High-Pressure Tribometer is a high-performance environmental testing system engineered specifically to analyze the tribological behavior of materials, coatings, components, and lubricants operating under pressurized gas environments. Because the friction, wear rates, and surface dissolution of mechanical interfaces are highly sensitive to gas concentration and ambient pressure, this system provides closed-loop controlled gas and thermal conditions to simulate demanding operational states with absolute accuracy.
As the authorized distributor for Rtec Instruments in Singapore, LMS Technologies Pte Ltd supports local oil and gas laboratories, HVAC research centers, automotive component manufacturers, and industrial engineering facilities. We deliver these advanced testing platforms complete with localized calibration, expert technical support, and protocol customization.

Key Functions & Core Benefits
- ASME-Certified High-Pressure Chamber: Features a robust, high-durability chamber supporting real-time programmable pressure control up to 200 PSI (13 bar). Every pressure chamber is ASME certified and stamped to ensure safe, reliable, and repeatable laboratory operations.
- Patented Capacitive Force Sensors: Utilizes advanced, proprietary capacitive load cells that are uniquely immune to fluctuations in gas density or ambient chamber pressure, ensuring data integrity in every environment.
- Precise Thermal Management: Equipped with high-resolution, closed-loop heating and cooling systems to seamlessly manage internal testing temperatures from -35°C up to 100°C, even under sustained high-pressure conditions.
- Flexible Contact Geometry: The system directly accommodates both ball-on-disk and pin-on-disk test profiles. We also provide custom tooling configurations, allowing you to test real-world machine elements, seals, and components rather than just standardized coupons.
