  Introduction Various applications associated with turbines are required for the smooth operation of the turbine oil. Functioning and testing of turbine oil will provide reliability, efficiency, and the vitality of the equipment. Turbine oil is a critical fluid that should be tested regularly to maintain superior performance. In this article, we discuss the 13 main test parameters for turbine oil, their relevance, and some best practices for turbine oil performance. Need for Turbine Oil Testing Turbine oils experience some of the toughest conditions known: high temperature, pressure, and contamination. Regular testing ensures: Prolonged equipment life Lowered downtime and servicing Expenditure Maximum performance with safety Identify Problems Early 13 Important Test Parameters for Turbine Oil 3.1 Viscosity There is a factor that indicates the flow resistance of oil, meaning its  viscosity.  Maintaining the right viscosity is essential for proper lubrication and wear redu...

  Introduction to the Beta Factor The importance of the Beta Factor for filtration technology is well known. Industrial machinery, hydraulic systems, and other filtration applications. Whether you are running industrial machinery, hydraulic systems, or other previous filtration applications, being in the know about the Beta Factor will enable you to make informed decisions on how to select a filter. This article will take a close look at what the Beta Factor is, why it is important, and how it can be used properly to maintain efficient, sustainable systems. What is the Beta Ratio? The Beta Ratio, or the Beta Factor, is an expression of how well a filter will remove particles of a particular size. It is a measure of the filtration of contaminants out of a fluid. The Beta Ratio is established using the internationally recognized ISO 16889:1999 multi-pass test standard, which is the internationally acknowledged procedure used to determine filter performance. Importance of Beta Ratios ...

  Introduction: Is your maintenance programme supporting your business well? Or do you wonder if there’s a smarter way to maximize your resources, minimize your downtime, and boost your bottom line? In this piece, we’ll uncover the keys to getting the hang of maintenance practices that can transform your operations.

  Success is FUELED by Challenges and Problems. One example of a thermal power plant, the UMPP (Ultra Mega Power Project) 2*800MW, had to deal with such a challenging problem. An early shutdown of the unit in the 2021 plant is called an annual shutdown. During start-up, they found oil quality is not up to mark to circulate in the system. After cleaning 72 thousand liters of Oil, it was essential to operate the plant within 3 to 4 days to keep quality as per standard. The head of maintenance of the unit looked up to find a reliable and trustworthy name in the market for the work and then approached Minimac Systems Pvt. Ltd. for the rescue. Manufacturer & Supplier of Oil Purification & Reconditioning Plants, Allied Machinery, & Laser Particle Counters. So the Minimac team took on the challenge – 72 hours to filter 72 kiloliters of Oil. It was a huge challenge, with the team familiar with its capabilities, but to drive the machine to the site and do the job on time was a b...

Introduction Moisture contamination in oil is one of the leading causes of equipment failure in industrial machinery, hydraulics, and lubrication systems. Even small amounts of Moisture can lead to severe consequences, from corrosion to inefficient lubrication. As a result, understanding the causes, effects, and prevention strategies for Moisture contamination in oil is crucial to ensuring the longevity and performance of machinery. In this article, we will explore how Moisture infiltrates lubricants, the risks it poses to your machinery, and how to manage and prevent Moisture contamination for optimal equipment performance. How Does Moisture Contaminate Oil? Moisture contamination in oil can occur in several ways. Understanding the primary sources of contamination is the first step in managing and preventing it effectively. Common Sources of Moisture Contamination: Condensation: In machinery that operates at varying temperatures, condensation is a common cause of Moisture contaminatio...
