Downtime for critical equipment is costly in terms of dollar expense, productivity and human lives. Oil analysis is one of the most important and reliable techniques to keep these assets up and running.

When deploying field solutions, careful consideration must be given to turnaround time, technique, and data integrity. The FieldLab Commercial series on-site oil analysis system provides fast results with the data integrity of a commercial oil analysis lab.

The FieldLab is a rugged, portable expeditionary fluid analysis system that gives operators in the field the ability to perform comprehensive, mobile lubricant sampling. The battery-powered device enables complete lubricant assessment for condition monitoring and rapid results that permit informed maintenance decisions. It takes only 12ml of oil to perform a comprehensive oil analysis and no chemicals or solvents are needed for sample preparation or cleaning. The complete analysis, with all four tests, only takes about 5 – 7 minutes, depending on oil viscosity.

When deciding which technique is right for your application, it is best to understand what measurement techniques currently exist and how they are used throughout various industries. This paper compares existing analytical techniques for quantifying wear conditions and introduces the new techniques used in the FieldLab.
