Save Money with Pre-Failure Alerts

Several tugs operating here on the Mississippi have had their oil tested every month for over twenty years. By analyzing the oil on a routine basis, changes in wear or contamination levels can alert operators to problems in the engine. This can often allow mechanics to perform necessary repairs before failure or serious damage can occur. Savings on repairs usually exceed the cost of the analysis program.

FT-IR Spectrometer

One of several tools

used to analyze your oil.

Purpose:

Infrared spectrometer is used to characterize oils by graphing the amount of light absorbed by sample at different wavelenths. Results are compared by computer to reference standards in lab's library. Several of the more similar spectra are displayed for technician to pick the most likely match.Method can be used to help identify products, and more often, to judge condition of oil by measuring certain changes that occur in oil while in use.
