FluidScan is a handheld Infrared analyzer for lubricant and grease condition and contamination monitoring

FluidScan: Portable Fluid Condition Monitor

Molecular Analysis with the FluidScan® 1000 Series Handheld Infrared Oil Analyzer

The FluidScan® 1000 Series Handheld Infrared Oil Analyzer is a powerful tool for molecular analysis of oil samples. This device uses infrared technology to provide quick and accurate results for a variety of oil parameters.

The molecular analysis capabilities of the FluidScan® 1000 Series allow for the identification of specific chemical compounds in oil samples. This information can be used to diagnose potential issues with machinery and to make informed decisions about maintenance and repair.

The FluidScan® 1000 Series can detect a wide range of molecular properties, including:

  • Water content
  • Total acid number (TAN)
  • Total base number (TBN)
  • Glycol contamination
  • Soot content
  • Oxidation, sulfation, and nitration

Using the molecular analysis capabilities of the FluidScan® 1000 Series, operators can quickly and accurately identify issues with their machinery before they become major problems. This helps to reduce downtime and maintenance costs, and ultimately leads to greater efficiency and productivity.

Overall, the FluidScan® 1000 Series is an essential tool for any maintenance team looking to improve the reliability and longevity of their machinery through molecular analysis of oil samples. Its handheld design and easy-to-use interface make it a practical and efficient addition to any maintenance program.

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
