* Incoming oil QA/QC
* In-service oil analysis
* Root Cause Analysis
Now an on-site technique!
What has changed?
FTIR spectroscopy has been a critical tool in lubrication analysis for more than 50 years, but breakthroughs in sampling, software, and miniaturization means that this powerful tool is now available for on-site lubrication analysis.
How does FT-IR work with your existing tools |
|
* Viscosity is a key property of oil. FT-IR can be used to determine what is causing the change in viscosity, such as water ingress or oxidation.
* Minilabs - FT-IR is an ideal complement for minilabs that provide particle count, viscosity and dielectric measurements. When paired with both the chemical degradation of the oil and the accurate water measurements provided by the FT-IR, the user has a very complete on-site oil analysis capability.
* Particle counter - The FT-IR can be used to understand changes in particle count caused by water ingress or increases in oxidation byproducts
* Off-site laboratory - The ability to quickly identify a problem on-site and take immediate action to remediate is a critical part of any PDM program. While waiting for detailed results from a lab is fine for slow-changing parameters or non-time sensitive measurements, this is rarely the case. The ability to monitor water in incoming oil or to catch a significant water leak and then test the remediation steps is invaluable.
