What is On Site, Diagnostic, Electronic Oil Quality Monitoring, and what will it tell me?
A. On-Site, Diagnostic, Electronic Oil Quality Monitoring in simple terms is facilitated using a hand held, electronic oil analysing instrument which compares the “dielectric value” of a sample of oil in service against the “dielectric value” of a new, unused sample of the same brand and grade of oil. Each oil literally has its own electronic identity or fingerprint by virtue of the additives incorporated into the formulation. These instruments are called Lubri-Sensors, of which there are several models. To monitor oil in use, a sample is taken on-site as quickly as possible after shutdown to ensure a truly representative sample. You first establish the dielectric constant value of the oil as new, then apply the used oil sample to establish its dielectric value. Any deviation from the new value will register as contamination. A numerical reading is established against known safe rejection thresholds clearly shown on our Identigraphs. Additionally, any variation after 30 seconds can be
