Product catalog summary
Overview
The GESERCO Water in Oil + BN Test Kit is a portable mini-laboratory designed for on-site testing of motor lubricants. It evaluates up to five key characteristics: water content, alkaline reserve (BN), sea water presence, viscosity, and dilution. The kit is user-friendly, providing rapid and simple tests with a detailed guide for immediate decision-making to enhance engine maintenance and lifespan.
Key Features
  • Water Content: Detects water in oil, a major cause of machinery failure, which degrades lubrication and accelerates corrosion.
  • Alkaline Reserve (BN): Measures the oil's ability to neutralize acids from sulfur combustion, crucial for engine protection.
  • Rapid Oil Test Gauge: Offers digital measurements for water and BN, with features like an audible alarm, transparent flask, and USB connectivity for data transfer.
  • Sea Water Detection (Optional): Uses a reacting method to identify chloride content, indicating sea water presence.
  • Viscosity Test (Optional): Compares used oil viscosity against fresh oil to ensure it remains within acceptable limits.
Technical Specifications
  • Water in Oil Ranges: 0 – 1.5 %H2O, 0 – 15 %H2O, 0 – 15000 ppm
  • BN Ranges: 5 custom ranges from 0 to 100 BN
  • Accuracy: ± 3% FS typical for water, ±1 BN for alkaline reserve
  • Test Duration: 3 minutes
  • Battery Life: 2 years (user-replaceable)
  • Memory: Stores up to 90 tests
  • Sea Water Detection Range: 0 to 5 g NaCl/litre, with 0.25 g NaCl/litre accuracy
  • Viscosity Test Time: 2 minutes

Water in Oil + BN Test Kit-1

Water in Oil + BN Test Kit Portable Mini-Lab for testing Motor Lubricants The GESERCO Water in Oil + BN Test Kit is a true portable lubricant analysis mini laboratory. The Water in Oil + BN kit is a stand-alone solution designed for monitoring up to five important characteristics of the lubricant on the Engine operation site: • Water Content Viscosity* & Dilution* 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 Diesel engine and increasing its lifespan. (*Option) Water Content The presence of water in oil is a major cause of machinery failure. Water degrades the lubricating properties of the oil, narrows the lubricating film, builds up oxidation and acidity, minimizes the efficiency of additives, accelerates surface fatigue, corrodes components, and allows for microbial development... 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 lubricating oils will fall from its original value until it reaches a minimum acceptable level (typically 50% of original value). Rapid Oil Test Gauge for Water Presence & Alkaline Reserve (BN) Large and easy to read display gives step by step instructions. Simple to use soft keys. USB port downloads test results to your computer. Audible alarm for excess water and low BN. Built-in memory stores up to 1000 tests including pass / fail test evaluation. Last generation sensor gives fast & accurate test results. User-friendly design makes the tester easy to handle. Transparent graduated flask facilitates test monitoring. GESERCO’s state of the art Rapid Oil Test Gauge provides accurate digital measurement of water in oil within minutes, even when the oil is massively additived. It provides accurate digital measurement of the remaining oil alkaline reserve (BN) within minutes. Its embedded memory capability allows for fast and simple monitoring of the BN depletion rate over time. Ranges Accuracy Test Duration Battery life Memory Coms BN 5 custom ranges from 0 to 100 BN ±1 BN 3 minutes 2 years (user replaceable battery) 90 Tests (measured data, test evaluation, date & time) Mini USB port SPECIFICATIONS MAY CHANGE WHITHOUT N

Water in Oil + BN Test Kit-2

Viscosity* This test uses a ViscoTest viscosity comparator which allows comparing the viscosity of a used oil sample with the viscosity of the same oil when fresh. A typical application is to compare a sample of used oil against the same fresh oil and determine if the used oil viscosity is still within acceptable limits. The Strong polyamide construction makes the ViscoTestTM very resistant to mechanical shocks and to chemical etching. Its handy design makes it very easy to clean and maintain. • • Test philosophy : 3 visual detection levels: Red: Alarm / Orange: Average / Green: Satisfying. Test...
