Spectro Scientific – Battery Powered Oil Analyzers – Portable Oil Analysis Kits
Monitoring lubricant condition in machine wear when and where it is needed significantly reduces the time required for laboratory analysis and improves machine reliability. Spectro Scientific offers a wide range of portable devices with field simplicity and lab accuracy. The product combinations are powerful for different applications as together they provide more comprehensive analysis of oil condition, contamination and machine wear condition. All Spectro portable devices are battery powered, use small amounts of oil, and do not require solvents or chemicals to clean. They are light weight and ideal for field use.
The building blocks of the combination kit are the FluidScan 1000 Series handheld IR oil analyzer, MiniVisc 3000/3050 kinematic viscometer, and FerroCheck 2000 total ferrous magnetometer.
Combination Kit Options and Recommended Applications
Different combinations are recommended based on the type of asset (engines vs rotating machines such as gear boxes, transmissions, or compressors), and users. Even though devices can be purchased, there are three essential combinations and applications.
| Combination kit | Devices | Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Oil Analysis kit | MiniVisc 3000, FerroCheck 2000 | Used by OEM and service professional for basic oil condition and machine wear condition check in variousindustries |
| Oil Condition kit | MiniVisc 3000, FluidScan 1000 | Primary for engine oil condition checking. Great for marine, aerospace, railway and transportation industries |
| MiniLab 33 | MiniVisc 3000, FluidScan 1100, FerroCheck 2000 | Basic Trivector MiniLab for small and mid-size industrial plant or power plant to start an on-site oil analysis program |
