Oil Analysis Spectrometers for the Analysis of Wear Metals, Contaminants, and Additives in Lubricants. The Spectroil M/C-W was designed specifically for the analysis of used oil and is equally at home in the laboratory or on-site where immediate oil analysis results can be vital and sample turnaround time is crucial

The FluidScan is a handheld condition based maintenance system that protects machinery by determining when a lubricant needs to be changed due to excessive contamination or degradation. Its detection capabilities can determine lubrication contamination, degradation and cross-contamination at the point of use by measuring key oil condition parameters in both synthetic and petroleum-based lubricants and fluids. Measure oil condition parameter including Total Base Number (TBN), Total Acid Number (TAN), Oxidation, Nitration, Sulfation, Incorrect lubricant, Additive depletion, Soot, Glycol/Antifreeze and Water

With prior knowledge of the wear metals and contaminants present in a lubricating system, it may be determined if that equipment is operating properly or if preventive maintenance is required. LaserNet Fines® combines the standard oil analysis techniques of particle counting and shape classification into a single analytical instrument. An algorithm is used to sort particle shapes into many categories, "cutting, fatigue, severe sliding, non-metallic, fibers, water droplet (free water) and air bubbles".

The Fuel Sniffer is a portable fuel dilution meter that can be used in the laboratory or in the field to provide rapid and accurate measurements of fuel contamination in engine oils. The Fuel Sniffer needs just over 60 seconds to perform each measurement. The next sample can be introduced quickly with the specially designed "clamp and sample" bottle platform, so that 40 or more samples can be measured per hour.

The Spectro-Visc is a bench-top semi-automatic kinematic temperature bath viscometer optimized for the analysis of used and new lubricants. It conforms to the requirements in ASTM D445, D446, D7279, IP 71 and ISO 3104. It is also the ideal system for used oil analysis laboratories that need to test a wide range of lubricant viscosities.

The Wear Particle Atlas CD-ROM is a new comprehensive computer database of wear particles found in all types of oil lubricated equipment. It combines the traditional ferrogram techniques with the more recent filtergram technique and contains close to 1,000 color pictures with detailed descriptions.

Machine condition monitoring based on oil analysis has become a prerequisite in comprehensive maintenance programs. The T2FM plays a key role in such programs. It separates and concentrates wear and contaminant particles for microscopic examination. Particle size, surface characteristics and composition are then used to determine wear modes inside a machine so that maintenance recommendations can be made.

The Spectro FT-IR Oil Analyzer is a bench-top spectrometer optimized and designed specifically for the rapid determination of used oil degradation and contamination. The Spectro FT-IR Oil Analyzer is specifically designed for the molecular analysis of lubricating oil to determine oil degradation and contamination. It was developed and optimized for predictive maintenance programs according to JOAP and DIN standards for the rapid determination of oxidation, nitration, sulfation, water, coolant, fuel dilution, soot and wear additive depletion in used lubricating oils.

Rotrode Filter Spectroscopy (RFS) is an analytical technique that enables rotating disc electrode (RDE) spectroscopy to also detect and analyze large wear and contaminant particles in fluids. RFS is an important enhancement to standard RDE analysis. It provides new information on the condition of the machine being monitored by expanding the particle detection capability of the RDE technique. It is sometimes also used to screen samples for more time consuming analyses such as ferrography.

Fuel Analysis Spectrometers for the Analysis of Contaminants and Additives in Gas Turbine Fuels. The Spectroil M/F-W is calibrated for accurate analysis of contaminants and additives in gas turbine and diesel fuels, regardless of their origin or characteristics.
