Benefits of having an onsite Oil Condition Monitoring Equipment
Contamination is the major cause of failure for any lubricated mechanical element. Wear can easily be identified by monitoring the shape and composition of contaminants. To identify and monitor the source of contaminants, Particle Analyzer plays a very crucial role. It analyzes the solid contamination in a lubricant by counting the number of particles and categorising the degree of contamination according to the particle size. The particle analyzer is considered to be one of the most important tests in oil analysis, as it determines a wide variety of problems easily. It monitors the amount and size of the particles in an oil sample. There are many uses of particle analyzer including testing filter leaks, checking real-time cleanliness and filter efficiency, creating testing routines, etc. Benefits of Particle Analysis There are enormous benefits; some of them are as follows: It allows “real-time” analysis of oil It confirms the corrective maintenance, needs for ferrography, and syst
