Ruling with RULER® Can conventional oil analysis tests adequately determine the presence of oxidation? Traditionally, users have utilized TAN and viscosity as the parameters to determine the presence of oxidation in an oil. However, these tests measure aspects of the oil after oxidation has occurred. If we truly want to prevent oxidation, then we should […]
Finding the Ideal Wind Turbine Gearbox Oil Analysis Strategy Developing an oil analysis strategy for any component involves a lot of variables. When we think about Wind Turbine Gearboxes, this also holds true. Before we begin thinking about the strategy for oil analysis, we need to understand the manner in which the fluid and equipment […]

In all lubricant systems, there is a constant challenge in keeping the oil free from contamination. In EHCs (Electro Hydraulic Control) systems, this remains true and takes the highest priority. In these systems, the clearances are typically smaller than regular systems. As such, it is of paramount importance that contaminants are removed from the lubricant […]
Varnish occurs in many types of equipment ranging from hydraulics, turbines, compressors or even pumps. However, the only common factor amongst these types of equipment is the occurrence of these degradation deposits. The type of deposits produced varies significantly and is typically characterized as being either organic and soluble or inorganic and insoluble. These degradation […]
