26 Analytical Instrumentation - Focus on Lubricant & Condition Monitoring A cutting-edge solution for detecting ferrous wear and preventing costly downtime


CM Technologies GmbH, presented their highly advanced Ferrous Wear Debris Meter at the exhibition. This device provides precise and reliable detection of ferrous wear in machinery parts, enabling businesses to mitigate costly downtime and maximise equipment performance.


Traditional methods of testing lubricant samples for ferrous wear debris often include intricate chemical processes. However, the Ferrous Wear Debris Meter eliminates the need for chemicals, thus simplifying the testing procedure considerably and facilitating environmental sustainability.


The Ferrous Wear Debris Meter can measure particles of any size, ensuring precise and comprehensive insights into the condition of the tested equipment. Its rapid warm-up phase enables effi cient measurements in a matter of seconds. Designed for offl ine and at-line measurements, the Ferrous Wear Debris Meter enables businesses to gain crucial knowledge about the wear life cycle of their equipment. Its versatility spans a variety of applications, including the Cylinder Drain Oil of 2-stroke diesel engines, gearboxes, and other machinery. Providing repeatable and accurate results, the Ferrous Wear Debris Meter enables the determination of ferromagnetic material concentration down to single parts per million (ppm) levels. Regardless of particle size or quantity, even submicron particles, the device provides a reliable mass-proportional output.


Unlike spectrometric methods, the Ferrous Wear Debris Meter’s readings remain unfettered by fl uid base properties, additive packages, or water content. Readings are presented in straightforward mass/volume standard units, such as milligrams of iron per litre (mg Fe/L) or parts per million (ppm).


Key features of the Ferrous Wear Debris Meter include its unique fast measurement capabilities, compatibility with various media in the sample container, and its ability to detect iron content without being limited by particle sizes. Its user-friendly design and easy operation streamline the testing process, while its chemical-free nature ensures simplicity and environmental sustainability.

“Symptoms ranging from decreased fi lter life to out-of-specifi cation oil can refl ect damage from uncontrolled microbial contamination,” says Passman, president, Biodeterioration Control Associates.


According to Passman, the new standard will be useful to turbine oil suppliers, engineers responsible for power generator oil systems and operator chemists for turbine oil condition monitoring.

“Maintaining and extending turbine oil functional life translates into increased power generation effi ciency – in turn, contributing to power generation affordability,” says Passman. “Failed turbine oil must be re-refi ned or sent to waste treatment. Consequently, by reducing the risk of uncontrolled microbial contamination in turbine oils, D6506 contributes to clean energy by reducing the waste stream.”

Poseidon Systems’ Trident QM3150 and QW3150 Oil Quality Monitors, which have been designed for use in hazardous locations, specifi cally classifi ed as Class 1 Division 2. These devices use state-of-the-art real-time, in-line sensing technology to provide continuous insight into the health state of lubricating fl uids. By utilising advanced electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technology, this monitor precisely measures a fl uid’s impedance spectrum, enabling a comprehensive assessment of the lubricant’s additive package health, breakdown monitoring and contaminant identifi cation.


A key feature of the Trident QM3150 is its integrated water-in-oil sensor. This sensor performs a direct measurement of dissolved water content in the lubricant, providing crucial information for preventive maintenance strategies.


Anton Paar’s SVM 1001 kinematic viscometer, when combined with a magnetic particle trap (MPT), is your budget-friendly solution for quick and easy used-oil analysis. It delivers ASTM- compliant results, in both D7042 and D445, making it an excellent alternative to conventional glass capillary systems.


With its short measuring time and high sample throughput of up to 37 samples per hour, the SVM quickly determines the machinery’s oil condition of machinery to identify the right time for an oil change. You can avoid downtime caused by engine damage as well. You only need 1.5 mL of sample to conduct measurements, which makes the SVM the most economical and effi cient solution on the market. Once you have completed the measurement, results are automatically calculated.


Single bath kinematic viscometer designed


specifi cally for ASTM D445/446 CANNON Instruments CAV 4.1 is a fully-automated, single bath, benchtop kinematic viscometer featuring two 14-position sample handlers designed to facilitate unattended ASTM D445/446 tests (Transparent & Opaque Liquids). Both Ubbelohde-style tubes offer a 100-fold viscosity range at values ranging between 0.5 mm2


/s (cSt) and 10,000 mm2 /s (cSt) from 40 °C to 150 °C (although users can go


SVM 1001 covers a 0.3 mm²/s to 5 000 mm²/s range with one single cell, allowing you to test a variety of samples without any trial and error to fi nd the right capillary. It is designed to operate at one or (optionally) two predefi ned temperatures between 15 °C and 100 °C, which makes it ideal to analyse in-service oils at 40 °C and 100 °C.


The quick and highly accurate integrated Peltier temperature control eliminates the need for a thermostatting bath, bath liquid, bath cooler, or separate thermometer. Since the MPT is directly mounted on the instrument, you can effi ciently remove ferromagnetic particles without needing any additional preparation or lab equipment.

For More Info, email: 60729pr@reply-direct.com New standard to help microbial


turbine oil contamination A new ASTM International standard will help to control microbial contamination that can degrade turbine oils and turbine oil systems. ASTM’s committee on petroleum products, liquid fuels and lubricants (D02) developed the standard, which will soon be published as D8506.


ASTM member Fred Passman notes turbine oils are nominally water-free, and microbes are only metabolically active where traces of water accumulate in recirculating turbine oil systems. Because of this, personnel responsible for


power generation facility oil systems are generally unaware of the damage the microbes can cause to both the recirculating oil and the turbine oil system.
