Condition Monitoring

Fluitec’s condition monitoring products work synergistically together and are critical tools in monitoring modern lubrication formulas.

The RULER (ASTM D6971) allows you to measure the remaining useful antioxidants in lubricants. This durable, handheld device is equally at home in a laboratory or in a heavy industry environment. By very quickly assessing the lubricant’s additive health, you are armed with predictive intelligence on the condition of the fluid and imminent performance problems that are around the corner.

The Reveal Patch Test Kit test is the latest development in determining a fluid’s deposit forming tendencies or varnish potential. It is currently a standard draft in ASTM and is used by leading laboratories and OEMs across the world. It involves creating a patch (Reveal Patch Test Kit) and measuring the color of the patch (iLab).

Fluitec is proud to be working with the top commercial oil analysis laboratories in the world. Visit our recommended commercial labs for the best available condition monitoring services for your plant.

Modern turbine oils are formulated differently than their cousins of the recent past, starting with a switch from Group I to Group II (and beyond) basestocks coupled with the incorporation of more complex and effective antioxidant chemistries. Reliance on antiquated analytical techniques has caught many users off guard as these tests are no longer the predictive tool that they once were. The time has come to rethink how we monitor mineral-based turbine oils.
