Hydraulic systems rely on proper fluid maintenance for optimal performance and longevity. Contamination can lead to system failures and costly downtime. Regular oil analysis helps detect wear metals, particle counts, and fluid degradation, ensuring efficient operation and preventing equipment failure. Spectro Scientific's tools provide accurate, reliable data for proactive maintenance. Read more...

There are several ways to monitor viscosity including Kinematic Viscometers (u-tubes) per ASTM D445, Ametek Spectro Scientific’s MiniVisc 3000 per ASTM D8092, Visgages, Rheometers and Rotational Viscometers. Read more...

Conventional power-generation plants such as coal-powered and hydroelectric facilities generate exceptional levels of heat that must be continuously removed from the system. Read more...

Continuous Emissions Monitoring: how digital technologies help clean up the air Read more...

Machine condition monitoring based on oil analysis has become an important, if not mandatory, maintenance practice by the marine industry. An effective oil analysis program will keep important assets such as engines, gearboxes, hydraulic systems, turbines, compressors, generators and any other oil-wetted machinery in operation by reducing unexpected failures and costly unscheduled down t...
