L-K Industries is a leading U.S. manufacturer of oil centrifuges and related petroleum sampling and measuring equipment for the crude oil/petroleum, petrochemical, hydrocarbon, agriculture, food processing and medical industries. Our most common equipment includes portable and laboratory oil centrifuges, sample heaters, glass centrifuge tubes, glass thermometers, glass hydrometers, gaging tapes and oil thiefs.
Our original Melton Oil Centrifuge was first manufactured in 1957 and became the basis for ASTM standards still relevant today. Each L-K product conforms to ASTM (American Society for Testing & Materials) and API (American Petroleum Institute) standards.
Our motto is “Demand a Higher Standard”. We strive daily to design, build and maintain products to the highest standards possible. We manufactured the first Class I, Division 2 certified laboratory centrifuge. This classification ensures safe operation in hazardous locations. With the acquisition of Miller-Weber of Texas and relocation of the ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory, we now calibrate glassware and equipment in-house.
To design the best oil testing equipment for the petrochemical industry, technical expertise is required. From our production team to our CEO, everyone in our organization contributes to our “team engineering” approach.
Since our formation nearly 90 years ago, the company has evolved from originally manufacturing pumps and valves to serving a much wider array of petroleum and laboratory customers. As we move forward, the company will continue to build on its rich history and look for opportunities to grow.
Innovation is at the heart of what we do. In 2017, the company pioneered two new online platforms which will bring more traceability and quality to customers. 2018 will allow us to build on this momentum and help us to continue bringing the best oil testing equipment to the industry.
L-K Industries offers a full range of ETL listed, Class I, Division 2 certified and CSA-approved equipment for basic sediment and water (BS&W) testing. When you put your trust in L-K for CID2 equipment, rest assured that you’re getting the best in the industry.
Our corporate headquarters and manufacturing operations are located in Houston, Texas. This facility also contains the Research and
Development division that is responsible for the design, development, testing, and continued improvement of LK’s oilfield technology.
