Spectroil M/N-W, Military Oil Analysis Spectrometer

Application

• Machine Condition Monitoring

Description

The Spectroil M/N-W is the military version of the Spectroil M family of oil and fuel analysis spectrometers. It is a compact, rugged, transportable and easy to use spectrometers designed specifically for the analysis of wear metals, contaminants and additives in lubricants, hydraulic fluids and coolants. The Spectroil M/N-W uses the time-tested and reliable rotating disc electrode (RDE) technique to measure quantities of dissolved and suspended fine particles in natural or synthetic petroleum based products and coolants.

The Spectroil M/N-W is the second generation of the original Spectroil M that was designed from the ground up specifically for oil analysis for military applications. It was tested and selected by the U.S. Government Department of Defense Joint Oil Analysis Program (JOAP) as their "next generation" oil analysis spectrometer.

The Spectroil M/N-W is still the only mobile spectrometer that has been tested and approved to meet the complete technical and performance requirements of the JOAP CID-0191 Specification for Deployable Spectrometers of 4 June 1999. It was assigned the NATO Stock Number 6650-01-535-4271. Additional NATO Stock Numbers have been assigned to the Spectroil M/N-W for Army, Navy and a configuration with a transit case as shown in the table below:
