Product catalog summary
Overview
GESERCO has been designing and manufacturing lubricant, fuel, and solvent condition monitoring kits since 1973. These products are available globally and are suitable for monitoring mineral, synthetic, and bio lubricants, including motor oils, hydraulic oils, and machining fluids.
TAN + BN Test Kit
The TAN + BN Test Kit is a portable mini-laboratory designed for testing motor lubricants. It provides excellent correlation with ASTM-D2896 (BN) and ASTM D974 (AN) standards. The kit is a standalone solution for monitoring two main characteristics of lubricants: the lubricant acid index (TAN) and the lubricant alkaline reserve (BN).
Acid Index (TAN)
Acid lubricants can cause machinery failures by corroding metallic components, gumming and clamping lubricated parts, and producing glaze and sludge. The GESERCO TAN test allows for precise, simple, and quick monitoring of the TAN value in mg kOH/g at the operation site. The test is applicable to clear and black oils, with a range of 0 to 6 TAN, sensitivity of ± 0.005 TAN, and results available in 15 minutes.
Alkaline Reserve (BN)
The alkaline reserve in engine oils neutralizes acids produced by fuel combustion. The BN decreases over time, and it is crucial to monitor it to prevent engine damage. GESERCO’s Rapid Oil Test Gauge provides accurate digital measurement of the Base Number (BN) within minutes, with five custom ranges between BN 0 and BN 100, accuracy of ± 1 BN, resolution of 0.1 BN, and results available in 3 minutes.
Product Specifications
The kit is housed in a strong and lightweight aluminum case with internal foam to protect accessories. Dimensions are 53 x 43 x 16 cm, and it weighs 7.5 kg. The kit includes all necessary accessories, reagents, and manuals for performing and understanding 50 tests. Product codes include MT9082 for the TAN + BN kit, PP9104 for the TAN test spare pack, PP9100 for the BN test spare pack, and PP9102 for the maintenance pack for the Rapid Oil Test Gauge.

Tan + BN Test Kit-1

TAN + BN Test Kit Portable Mini-Lab for testing Motor Lubricants Excellent correlation with ASTM-D2896 (BN) and ASTM D974 (AN) standards The GESERCO TAN + BN Test Kit is a true portable lubricant analysis mini laboratory. The TAN + BN Test Kit is a stand-alone solution designed for monitoring on the operation site two main characteristics of the lubricant: • • The lubricant acid index (TAN) The lubricant alkaline reserve (BN) The tests are simple and rapid, and the kit includes a detailed testing and interpretation guide so that the engineer can make immediate decisions for maintaining the lubricated equipment and increasing its lifespan. Acid lubricants are the source of numerous potential machinery failures through: • Corroding of metallic components • Gumming and clamping of lubricated parts • Production of glaze and sludge in the circuitry The alkaline reserve (Base Number – BN) formulated into engine oils neutralizes the acids produced by the combustion of fuels containing sulfur that could damage the engine. In service, the BN of the engine oil falls from its original value until it reaches a minimum acceptable level (typically 50% of original value). The GESERCO TAN test allows for precisely, simply and quickly monitoring and calculating the TAN value in mg kOH/g at the operation site of the lubricated equipment.
