Spectro’s FluidScan handheld lubricant condition monitor can be used to analyze hydraulic fluids, engine oils, turbine oils, and gear oils for degradation and the presence of contaminants. It checks the condition of fluids using infrared spectroscopy to measure base number, add number, oxidation, nitration, sulfation, incorrect lubricant, additive depletion, soot, glycol/antifreeze, and water. By providing immediate feedback on critical properties, the system enables users to extend oil change intervals, reduce operational and maintenance cost, reduce unscheduled maintenance outages, and avoid catastrophic equipment failures.
