Fluidscan, Lubricant Condition Based Monitor
(Click Image to Enlarge) |
Application
- Machine Condition Based Monitoring
Description
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. It detects lubricant contamination and degradation at the point of use by measuring key oil condition parameters in both synthetic and petroleum based lubricants and fluids.
The FluidScan analyzes lubricants and fluids using infrared spectroscopy, a technique that has found wide acceptance as a primary test for contamination and degradation. This portable instrument performs the analyses with the same accuracy as laboratory instruments, but does so on-site in a handheld version. The FluidScan thus reports and stores information on lubricant condition at the point of use.
