Key Points for Lube oil checks and recommended Testing Kits.



For Field Inspection of Lube Oils, the following points are important to take action
a) Basic Tests for Lube Oils are to observe the Oil in Glass Sample Bottle for Color Inspection.
b) If you Observe that Color of Lube Oils is Milky or Dark in shade, then you have to process for further testing with Hand Held Testing Kits which are easy for use at the site.
Following are the Testing Kits which can be used at the site for Checking Lube Oil
1) Millipore Patch Testing Kit – This Testing Kit is useful for measuring contamination in oil as per NAS/ISO by observing the Patch Paper with Microscope. This is a very basic test to know if oil is contaminated or clean. This is a Portable Patch Testing Kit and easy to handle everywhere at the site.
2) Hydrogauge Oil Test Kit – It is used for checking Moisture or Water Contamination in oil by adding a 10 ml Sample in 2 types of different reagents. This is also an Offline & Portable Testing kit which shows results approximately and at very low cost.
3) Visgauge Oil Test Kit – This kit is useful for checking the viscosity of oils from 0 to 460 ranges of oils. This testing kit is Portable and easy to use.
4) Online Laser Particle Counter – This is an Online Contamination Monitor which is useful for checking Oil Contamination in NAS, ISO Format with particle distributions in 8 Nos of channels. You can connect this particle counter with a pipeline or any external oil filtration system with the help of the provision of minimize hoses and the particle counter has an LED screen to show results.
5) Portable Online Laser Particle Counter - This is a Portable Online Contamination Monitor which is useful for checking Oil Contamination in NAS, ISO format with particle distributions in 8 Nos of channels. This Particle Counter is able to check NAS values for multiple types of samples or multiple machines. It can be connected with pipeline or any external oil filtration system with the provision of minimize hoses and the particle counter has an LED Screen to show results.
Following are some Easy Field Tests and Inspections –

Control System Of Turbine - Failure & Maintenance

Image
Control System The turbine control system describes the control over the opening of control valves corresponding to demand signals, and steam flows into the turbine with the help of a governing system that facilitates the operation of the turbo set in an interconnected grid system. Governing system is responsible for various function such as speed & load control functions, the start-up/shut-down controls, the over-speed control, turbine stress calculation, to control the initial run-up and synchronization of the Unit, to assists in matching the power generated to that demanded by responding to system frequency changes, to regulate the steam control valves position (and hence the load generated)in response to signal from the operator or from the load dispatch Centre, to restrict the speed rise within acceptable limits should the unit get disconnected (islanding) from the lgridoad and some protective trip functions. With continuous research and developments in modern turbine technolo

Minimac Technology

Image
 The secret recipe of the growth story at Minimac Syste ms has been its capability to drive technological advancement in the field of contamination control for lubrication reliability. Research and development on technology and products have always been the key reason to keep the Minimac products a step ahead of its competitors in the market. Technological development has been one of the core competencies which Minimac possesses, thereby ensuring a definite competitive advantage. Contaminations in lubricants are of various types and characteristics depending on the lubricant, equipment application, ambient conditions, age of equipment, etc. In order to control, separate or eliminate the contamination, there are multiple techniques. Each technique has pros and cons and hence there is no single technology that can be considered universally better than others. ​ Minimac Systems over the years has become equipped with almost all the technologies which are required for contaminat

Storage Management of Oil Products and its Importance.

Image
Product storage is an important criterion for any segment of products. It plays a vital role in the longevity of the products, every product in any form has a certain life period and this life period forms the baseline of the product. Coming to the lubricating oil industry, product life period plays an important role in the smooth running of the machinery and the plant. As these oils play a very important role in the day to day functioning of critical machinery, so if not maintained properly these can lead to the breakdown of machinery thereby leading to a shutdown of the plant which leads to the incurrence of huge loss. Therefore it is very important that these oils should be used well in advance before their life period expires. We can hereby pen down certain prerequisite conditions for storage of lubricants: 1.  Pre usage Inspection : It is mandatory to verify their performance properties & conditions with oil analysis for the oils that have been kept for a long pe
