FluidScan® 1000 Series - Handheld Infrared Oil Analyzer

The FluidScan® 1000 series handheld Infrared oil analyzer provides direct quantitative measurement of a lubricant’s condition and plays an important role in Machine Condition Monitoring  (MCM) for proactive and predictive maintenance in Reliability Management programs. It determines when oil needs to be serviced due to degradation of the oil chemistry or contamination by other fluids such as water or the wrong oil. It is compliant with ASTM D7889 “Standard Test Method for Field Determination of In-Service Fluid Properties Using IR Spectroscopy”.


Dedicated Direct Infrared Spectrometer

- No moving parts, designed for handheld and field use applications

- Multivariate calibration with unique oil-specific algorithms


Easy to use

- Needs just one drop of oil and one minute to test

- No solvents required to clean

- Color-coded, user adjustable alarm limits


Determine when in service oil not fit for use 

- Direct immediate measurement of water, TAN and oxidation for lubricants used in gearboxes, turbines and hydraulic systems 

- Also measures TBN, water, glycol, soot, additive depletion and oxidation for engine oil


Highly repeatable and reproducible results

- ASTM D7889 Compliant – “Standard Test Method for Field Determination of In-service Fluid Properties Using IR Spectroscopy”

- Excellent correlation to KF water, TAN and TBN laboratory tests

- Reproducibility and repeatability comparable to benchtop FTIR method ASTM E2412

- Data analysis compliant to ASTM E1655


Comprehensive Fluid Library and application Categories

- Over 850 fluids for immediate operation

- Full application library based on equipment use


Applications include:

- Mineral and synthetic oils used in gear boxes, engines, transmissions

- Hydraulic systems, turbines and other machinery components

- Biodiesel/Fuel

- Quality assurance of new oils


Innovative water and fluid indentity methods

- Patented total water algorithm for both dissolved and free water

- Solvent free alternative to Karl Fischer titration

- Water index for grease condition monitoring

- Fluid integrity to determine fluid mix ups


Innovation in hardware and calibration

At the core of the FluidScan is a patented, mid-infrared spectrometer with grating optics and a linear detector array. The spectrometer collects the infrared light transmitted through the fluid in the flip top cell into a waveguide. The waveguide then carries the light to a prism-like diffraction grating that reflects the light into a high-performance array detector which registers the infrared spectrum of the fluid. It provides more than adequate spectral range, resolution and signal-to-noise ratio for the rapid analysis of in-service lubricants.


It also fulfils the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (NESHAP RICE) requirements for extending oil change intervals in engines and back-up generators when used in conjunction with the Spectro MiniVisc 3050 Portable Viscometer.

Measured Parameters


 

One of the advantages of the FluidScan over laboratory FTIR is its ability to report absolute quantitative results for critical properties such as TAN and water contaminations for industrial lubricants or TBN, water, glycol, and soot for engine oils. Below table specifies different parameters provided by FluidScan depending on the oil type.

Multivariate Calibration

The FluidScan® classifies fluids into groups called families based on their chemical makeup, usage and spectral signature. The spectrum of all fluids in each family changes in a similar way with a given amount of degradation or contamination. Family-specific algorithms are assigned that accurately quantify these amounts. These algorithms yield quantitative results for the most critical properties of the most common oil types. Multivariate calibrations are applied so that quantitative readings can be obtained, even with complex, contaminated samples.
