Solutions for Power Generation and Industrial Plants Maximize machine uptime Prevent premature failures

In-service Oil Analysis for Machine Condition Monitoring Since the reliable operation of high value, fixed assets is critical to all industrial plants, predictive maintenance programs are implemented to manage machinery uptime. In-service oil analysis is a key machine condition monitoring technique for Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) and Reliability programs. It complements vibration analysis, thermography and other predictive maintenance technologies. In the time it takes external laboratories to return oil sample results, machinery condition can change significantly. On-site oil...

■ Lower operating costs ■ Reduce unscheduled downtime ■ Increase machine availability ■ Extend equipment life ■ Decrease total lifecycle equipment costs ■ Provide immediate retest capability Trivector™ - oil and machine health simplified The TriVector™ is a simple representation of the integrity of the lubrication system and the health of the machine itself. The Trivector indicates the degree of health in each vector. Each vector is a representation of Alarm Limits based on underlying parameters, such as viscosity, water contamination, acid number, oxidation, total ferrous, particle count...

ELEMENTAL ANALYSIS The elemental analyzer provides measurement of 24 elements to identify individual contaminants, wear metals and the elemental composition of additives. PARTICLE COUNT AND FERROUS MONITOR The direct imaging particle counter and ferrous monitor provides particle counts and ISO codes, wear classification, ferrous particle counts & size distribution, and total ferrous measurement. VISCOSITY The portable viscometer provides high accuracy 40°C kinematic viscosity measurements. MiniLab 4 | Industrial Solutions

Trivector reports on machinery health Easy to interpret results with Trivector sample and trend reports.

MiniLab Series Software The TruVu 360 software is a browser-based platform installed on a company network, a local PC or accessed using the Spectro Scientific Cloud Hosting Service. The TruVu 360 Device Console can be installed on a local PC along with the MiniLab instrument software. TruVu 360 delivers a best practice for the on-site oil analysis process and it provides performance dashboards at the asset, plant and corporate level. It unifies asset trending of oil condition, chemistry and machinery wear with automated diagnostics and recommended maintenance actions, and it provides...

Particle analysis and wearing mechanism With total ferrous, large ferrous total particle counts and ISO codes, wear particle counts users can make informed decisions to identify oil drain points, corrosive wear and the onset of a serious abnormal machine wear mechanism. MONITORING

Elemental Analysis The SpectrOil 100 Series analyzes small particulate wear, lubricant additives and contaminants for trace quantities of elements dissolved or suspended as fine particles. Using the proven rotating disc electrode (RDE) technique, the SpectrOil 100 Series has become the workhorse of industrial, commercial and military oil analysis laboratories requiring rapid analysis of wear metals, contaminants and additives in lubricants. Coolant, wash-down water and JOAP calibrations are available in addition to inservice lubricating oil and hydraulic fluid analysis. ■ Measures ppm...

Particle Count and Ferrous Monitor › Ferrous content › Wear particle shape The LaserNet 200 Series provides particle counts and codes, large wear particle classification and ferrous wear monitoring. › Particle count and codes Particle count, size distribution and codes (ISO 4406, NAS 1638, NAVAIR 01-1A-17, SAE AS 4059, GOST, ASTM D6786, HAL, and user defined bins) n Differentiates contaminants (silica and fibers from machine wear metal) n Classifies wear particles, stores images, and reports particle count for each wear type of Cutting, Sliding, Fatigue, Fibers and Nonmetallics n Ferrous...

Chemical Analysis The FluidScan® 1000 Series oil chemistry analyzer determines when in-service oil is no longer fit for use due to oil degradation or the ingress of water or glycol. It is fast and easy to use, with just one drop of oil needed for the sample and less than one minute for test results. The analyzer includes an extensive oil library; additional oils can be added by the user. ■ Compliant to ASTM D7889 "Standard Test Method for Field Determination of In-service Fluid Properties Using IR Spectroscopy" ■ High correlation to TAN and TBN laboratory tests conducted with ASTM D664 and...

The MiniVisc 3000 Series provides fast, accurate 40°C kinematic viscosity measurements for easy detection of viscosity variations caused by contamination, mix-up and oil degradation. Solvent free, portable, and easy to use Viscosity range 1-700 cSt @40°C n Accuracy +/- 3% to NIST viscosity standards n Fast results: ISO 15 ~10 seconds, ISO 320 ~ 3 minutes n n For machinery oils, the 40°C kinematic viscosity is used as the reference value. Engine oils operate at higher temperatures than rotating machinery, so they require V100°C kinematic viscosity. The Viscosity Index of an oil is a...
