MEASUREMENTS AND ANALYSES IN THE FACILITY (Leasing devices in place):

Advantages of measurements carried out in the facility:

•          Operating machines can be checked without stopping them.
•          Oil samples can be kept free from such risks and factors which can influence measurement such as getting polluted while taking them in the sample container (exposure to air), dirty sample container, problems experienced in the entry and exit of the laboratory, etc.
•          While a machine operates, values from each point of the machine can be reached by making connections not only from the tank line but also the from the return line, pressure line, and the entries and exits of critical equipment (equipment which are wearing out and filters not functioning well can easily be identified).
•          Measurements up to 420 bars can be carried out while the system operates.

Details of measurements carried out in the facility:

•          Oil purity classification (ISO 4406:99, ISO 4406:87, NAS 1638 and SAE AS 4059 standards)
•          Amount of water in oil (theoretical ppm)
•          Oil point of water saturation (0~100%)
•          Dynamic viscosity  (18~700 mPas)
•          Dielectric coefficient (1-10)
•          Temperature (0~70 °C)
•          TAN value (0~100%)
