  One of the most important activities that should be performed on a regular basis at their respective plant location is oil analysis.  Oil analysis is like visiting your primary care physician for a yearly blood test. The specialist can decide your general wellbeing and prosperity from a tiny example of your blood. The same can be performed with various industrial equipment such as motors, gearboxes, water power, air blowers, and turbines in order to avoid major breakdowns of the equipment. Let’s explore this part more in detail.  Oil analysis (OA) is the laboratory analysis of a lubricant's properties, suspended contaminants, and wear debris, performed during routine predictive maintenance to provide meaningful and accurate information on lubricant and machine conditions. As shown in the graph below the condition of assets keeps decreasing as the time of its usage keeps increasing. This is a clear indication to monitor your Equipment and Oil's condition frequently and take pr

Beta Factor

  What is the Beta Ratio? The beta ratio refers to the efficiency in which a given filter element removes the particle of a given size. It is calculated using the ISO multi-pass test standard 16889:1999. This factor plays an important role in buying the oil filter. How is it measured? This test involves adding particles of a known size to the test fluid until the fluid reaches an immersion point and afterward bringing the channel online to eliminate particles in a single pass through the component. Consider that the beta proportion is very important for a specific size of the molecule For example, if 100,000 five micron particles were measured, on average, before the filter, and 100 five micron particles were measured after the filter, the beta ratio was 1,000. We at Minimac Systems Pvt Ltd . provide services of Total Lubrication Management and Lubrication Consulting that help you optimize your Lubrication needs. In the realm of filters and filtration, the Beta Ratio assumes a signifi
