A significantly improved version of the ASTM D942 Test Method, with apparatus employable to effect the same, is provided. This is useful in measurement of grease oxidation.

Grease oxidation

Instrumentation embraces an at least partially automated rotational tapered bearing simulator viscometer having electronic control and/or monitoring that includes task unit electronics, which includes a task unit electronics interface. With or without such electronics, the instrumentation may include a particular component configuration and/or employ at least one particular material. Further feature(s) may be extant.

Instrumentation that embraces a rotational viscometer, or that has a cantilevered platform elevator and/or employs heat in one area but not another

Apparatus includes a pivotable, cradling framework that can hold a rotatable bomb instrument, which can include a hollow cylinder and a grease rack. This may be employed to effect a significantly improved version of the ASTM D942 Test Method. The same is useful in measurement of grease oxidation.

A kit comprising one or more of the following one or more solar modules (); one of more connectors (); and one or more integrated flashing pieces (), wherein the one or more solar modules, the one or more connectors, and the one or more integrated flashing pieces include a first buss () and a second buss (); wherein the one or more solar modules, the one or more connectors, the one or more integrated flashing pieces, or a combination thereof include a capacitor between the first buss and the second buss so that the capacitor blocks direct current from passing through the first buss, the second buss, or both and allows an alternating: current signal, an alternating voltage signal or both to pass trough the first buss, the second buss, or both so that a discontinuity, partial discontinuity, or continuity of the one more solar modules, the one or more, connectors, the one or more integrated flashing pieces, or a combination of connections therebetween are detectable when the one or more solar modules, the one or more connectors, and the one or more integrated flashing pieces are electrically connected.
