PARTICLE
Ferrous debris analysis – ASTM D8120 › WEAR › CONTAMINATION

The core of the ferrous debris analyzer is a pair of

precision-rounded coils that when powered generate
magnetic fields. When a small amount of in-service oil
is inserted into one of the coils, ferrous particles such SAMPLE VIAL

as iron, nickel and cobalt interact with the magnetic

field and introduce current changes in the coils. The
amount of current change is proportional to the amount
of ferrous particles in the oil, calibrated in weight by MEASUREMENT

parts per million (ppm).

Fluid chemistry and contamination – ASTM D7889 › CHEMISTRY › WATER

The IR spectrometer measures the chemistry of the lubricant and contamination in one minute using
only one drop of oil; no chemicals or solvents are required. It combines ease of use, ruggedness and
laboratory precision in a small package, which is ideal for field use.
The oil condition parameters measured by FluidScan include oxidation, nitration, sulfation, anti-wear
additive, Total Base Number (TBN), glycol, soot, and water for engine oil; and oxidation, Total Acid Number
(TAN), and water for rotating machine lubricants such as gear oil, transmission oil and hydraulic oil.

Viscosity – ASTM D8092 › VISCOSITY

Viscosity is measured using a temperature-controlled

kinematic viscometer with a patented split-cell design.
A funnel, with a 100 micron gap, is formed in the center
of the cell. Optical sensors in the cell detect the flow of
oil under the influence of gravity. The time it takes the
oil to flow through the cell is proportional to the viscosity
of the oil. When open, the cells can be cleaned using a Kinematic Viscosity (40°C) = A* (t1-t0) + B
non-abrasive wipe. No solvents are required. *A and B are calibration coefficients
