Automatic Oil Cleanliness Tester China Factory

Streamlining Quality Control with the Automatic Oil Cleanliness Tester

Introduction
Beyond hydraulics, a wide range of industrial oils—from gear oils to transformer oils—require regular cleanliness monitoring to prevent wear, deposit formation, and dielectric breakdown. The Automatic Oil Cleanliness Tester from Changsha Friend Experimental Analysis Instrument Co., Ltd. extends particle counting and water-in-oil measurement to multiple fluid types on one platform, automating workflows and improving laboratory throughput.

Testing Capabilities

1. Particle Counting (ISO 4406/NAS 1638)
   An optical cell counts and sizes particles in ten size classes (≥ 2 µm to ≥ 200 µm), converting results to industry cleanliness codes.

2. Water Content (Karl Fischer or Dielectric Sensing)
   Samples undergo coulometric titration for trace water (down to 10 ppm) or pass through a capacitive sensor for dip-stick measurements.

3. Viscosity Measurement
   Optional kinematic or dynamic viscosity modules handle a range of 1 – 10,000 cSt at 40 °C.

4. Dielectric Breakdown Voltage
   For transformer oils, an integrated electrode cell applies high voltage and records the breakdown point directly within the system.

Key Design Features

• Modular Sample Carousel
  Holds up to eight samples; auto-rotates through particle, water, and viscosity stations.

• Automated Rinse & Dry Cycle
  Prevents cross-contamination between fluids of differing types.

• Touchscreen Workflow Manager
  Guides operators through method selection, sample ID entry, and results review.

• Comprehensive Reporting
  Generates multi-parameter quality certificates in PDF or CSV, ready for archival or client distribution.

Industry Applications

• Power Utilities: Monitor transformer oil for moisture and particle ingress.

• Gearbox & Turbine OEMs: Verify lubricant cleanliness and moisture before assembly.

• Marine & Offshore: Ensure oils comply with stringent contamination limits in harsh environments.

• Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO): Conduct complete oil health assessments in a single automated run.

Best Practices

1. Sample Conditioning
   Degas oil samples at 50 °C for 30 minutes before water analysis.

2. Cartridge Replacement
   Change pre-filters and water-trap cartridges according to differential-pressure alarms.

3. Standard Verification
   Run certified particle-count standards and Karl Fischer water standards daily.

4. LIMS Integration
   Use the instrument’s OPC-UA driver to automatically upload results to maintenance databases.

The Automatic Oil Cleanliness Tester helps laboratories consolidate multiple oil-health tests into one automated workflow, enhancing data consistency and reducing operator workload.
