Oil Analysis program goals include…
Root Cause Analysis Fluidscan helps addresses
these Areas critical to an Oil Trending and Screening Analysis program
It provides data to guide
Ensure Cleanliness decision to Filter out liquid contamination or to Change Avoid Mix-up the Oil.
3 Company Confidential Challenges of Oil Analysis in Predictive Maintenance
Outsourcing Oil Analysis On Site Oil Analysis
• Timeliness of oil analysis report for • Possible lack of on site oil expertise maintenance actions can be an issue • Perceived difficulty of oil analysis – Loss of ‘mindshare’ • Logistics management of waste – Outdated information disposal, solvent handling and • Hard to integrate into other modern training PdM techniques such as Vibration and Thermography
FluidScan eliminates the
difficulties of on -site Oil Analysis!
4 Company Confidential Addressing the challenges of on-site oil Analysis
Possible lack of on site oil expertise
• Built in lubricant reference library w/ preset, adjustable Alarm Limit set • Fine-tuned algorithms by oil type correlates to lab FT/IR and Water/TAN/TBN titration • Simple to use, it’s all on the DVD!
Perceived difficulty of oil analysis
• One drop of oil to test • One minute for results • Immediate & actionable information
Logistics management of waste disposal, solvent handling
and training • Wipe clean w/o solvents • Easy to use flip top cell • Intuitive user interface

8 Company Confidential Route based oil monitoring
• Create route in Oilview LIMS module
(need Oilview 5.51 plus sw patch)
• Export route to flash drive
(route data includes Alarm Limits for each Area/Equipment/Point )
• Import route to Fluidscan
from flash drive
9 Company Confidential Routes and Alarm Limits
• Run route (flash drive not needed to run/store data)
• Results highlighted: – Green /Yellow/Red per Oilview AL set – Quantitative measurements water ppm, TAN, oxidation
• Export route (completed or
partial) data onto flash, import into Oilview
