OIL CONDITION MONITORING
Oil Condition Monitoring
ERALAB OCM
Fast & easy wear metal and contamination analysis.
Oil Condition Monitoring plays a crucial role in predictive and proactive maintenance strategies by providing valuable insights into equipment health and lubricant condition. An easy way to avoid equipment failure is by establishing an in-house oil condition monitoring platform. By analyzing various oil properties, maintenance professionals can detect early signs of equipment and lubricant degradation.
Enter the ERALAB OCM: Eralytics introduces a new generation of versatile, combinable products designed to tackle these challenges both in the lab and on-site. The RDE-OES spectrometer ERAOIL, FTIR spectrometer ERASPEC OIL, kinematic viscometer ERAVISC X, particle counter ERACOUNT XS, and ferrous-debris analyzer ERATEST FERRO mark the beginning of the NEXT ERA in oil condition monitoring. These analyzers can be mixed and matched to provide comprehensive coverage of all aspects of oil condition.
ERAOIL: RDE-OES spectrometer for elemental analysis
Introducing ERAOIL, the cutting-edge stand-alone rotating disc electrode spectrometer that revolutionizes the analysis of wear metals, additives, and contaminants in a wide range of operating liquids such as lubricating oils, fuels, coolants, process water, and more. With its advanced technology, ERAOIL can automatically measure up to 32 elements in just 30 seconds. Utilizing a high-end CMOS detector and automatic background correction, ERAOIL achieves an impressive sub-ppm detection limit (LOD) for most elements.
ERASPEC OIL: The latest trend in oil condition monitoring
Introducing ERASPEC OIL, a portable stand-alone infrared analyzer designed for rapid lubricant oil analysis and comprehensive condition monitoring. It fully complies with ASTM, DIN, and JOAP methods, ensuring accuracy and reliability. With its patented interferometer design, ERASPEC OIL provides laboratory-grade results directly on-site. Within seconds, it measures contaminants, degradation products, additive depletion, and calculates important properties such as TAN, TBN, and viscosity.
ERAVISC X: Viscosity & density testing with precision
ERAVISC X stands out as the most compact and robust kinematic viscometer globally, offering precise viscosity measurements at a laboratory-grade level that align with ASTM D445 and ASTM D7042 standards. It achieves this through an innovative viscosity cell that is seamlessly integrated with eralytics’ distinctive x-oscillating metal U-tube density cell. This integration enables a separate and highly accurate density measurement, fully adhering to the ASTM D4052 and ISO 12185 requirements.
ERAFLASH: The safe side of flash point testing
The ERAFLASH flash point tester operates in complete accordance with the Continuously Closed Cup flash point testing techniques, namely ASTM D6450, ASTM D7094, and their European counterpart, IP620. Notably, ASTM D7094 demonstrates no discernible statistical deviation from the previous ASTM D93 Pensky Martens method. It operates with a minimal sample volume of just 2 ml. Throughout the testing process, an electric arc triggers ignition of the sample vapor, and the analyzer assesses the flash point by monitoring pressure variations within the sealed cup. This ensures that flash point testing has never been as secure and straightforward.
ERAFLASH X: The petroleum flash point tester.
The ERAFLASH X is a compact, safe, and robust flash point tester covering an incredibly wide temperature range, designed to operate in field and lab environments. With a continuously closed cup design and three patented designs of Peltier Boost Technology (PBT), Contamination Prevention Technology (CPT) and Peltier separation, the ERAFLASH X ensures maximized safety and efficiency.
ERACOUNT XS: The Fastest ISO 4406 Laser Particler Counter
ERACOUNT XS is the smallest and fastest field particle counter. At the push of a button, the laser-based analyzer measures and displays the ISO 4406 particle size channels ≥ 4 µm(c), ≥ 6 µm(c) and ≥ 14 µm(c) – all within 60 seconds using only 10 mL of sample. ERACOUNT XS counts particles in eight channels when connected to one of eralytics’ other OCM analyzers..
ERATEST FERRO: Outstanding ferrous debris quantification
The ferrous debris analyzer ERATEST FERRO is a mobile and battery-operated measuring instrument for determining the total content of ferromagnetic wear particles in oils or greases samples within only one second. The instrument operates according to ASTM D8120 and provides the precise concentration in ppm of magnetizable debris with only 2 mL of sample.
ERASOFT OCM: The oil condition monitoring software.
erasoft OCM is the core of eralab OCM, the suite of laboratory solutions for easy, rugged and accurate oil condition monitoring. The software supports the operator in essential parts of the management, operation and maintenance of technical facilities. In the area of preventive maintenance, particular significance is attached to oil condition monitoring.
