ASTM Symposium on Oxidation Testing of Turbine Lubricants – Over the last decade the market of turbine lubricants has undergone most significant changes, driven by the increasing operating temperatures as well the longer operating cycles typical for the new generation of power plants. ASTM D02 Committee (Fuels and Lubricants) is organizing on December 5th, in Norfolk Virginia, a symposium which will cover the subject of Oxidation Testing of Turbine lubricants, where OEM’s, end-users, oil and additive companies, and instrument suppliers will participate. If you are interested to participate, go to the following link.- ASTM Symposium.

Detection of Varnishing and Deposits on Turbine Oils, as Part of Reliability and Maintenance Program – During their operation time turbine lubricating oils are faced with varying oxidation conditions all resulting in varying antioxidant depletion. Learn how the RULER can be used as part of a proactive oil analysis method, to avoid varnishing and deposits on a wide range of modern turbine lubricants.- Turbine Oil Monitoring.

Did You Know That... – With the RULER instrument as part of your on-site reliability programs, by assessing the Remaining Useful life of your lubricants, it is important to perform annually a calibration and validation of your RULER unit. To assure your reliability we have different service packages, all with the focus on increasing our customer service.- RULER Calibration and Validation.

RULER Technology for Helicopter Engine Oil Testing as Part of Engine Reliability Programs - As the SAE E34 2005 meeting TURBOMECA and FLUITEC jointly presented their experiences by using the RULER for Helicopter Engine oil monitoring. As part of modern maintenance practices, you will be interested to understand into the benefits of an on-site oil analysis program for this high-tech lubrication application – HELICOPTER Engine Oil Testing
