Gases in Oils

Contamination in oils can take many forms, and one of the most commonly overlooked types is gases. Gases in oils can have a significant impact on the performance and longevity of machinery, making it important to monitor and analyze the levels of gases present.

The Gas Extractor - Gases in Oils

The Gas Extractor - Gases in Oils is a device used for extracting and analyzing gases in oils. It allows for the detection and measurement of dissolved gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, as well as gases produced by chemical reactions such as methane and hydrogen.

The Gas Extractor works by drawing a sample of oil from the machinery into a vacuum-sealed container, where the gases present are then extracted and analyzed. The results can provide valuable information about the condition of the machinery, including potential issues such as overheating, contamination, and mechanical stress.

Why Monitor Gases in Oils?

Gases in oils can lead to a variety of problems, including reduced lubrication effectiveness, increased wear and tear on machinery, and even complete failure. By monitoring and analyzing the levels of gases present in oils, potential issues can be identified and addressed before they cause significant damage.

Some of the benefits of monitoring gases in oils include:

  • Improved machinery reliability
  • Extended machinery lifespan
  • Reduced maintenance costs
  • Increased safety for personnel and equipment

Conclusion

The Gas Extractor - Gases in Oils is a valuable tool for predictive maintenance in industrial settings. By monitoring the levels of gases in oils, potential issues can be identified and addressed before they lead to costly downtime and repairs. Investing in a gas extractor can provide long-term benefits for the performance and reliability of machinery, as well as increased safety for personnel and equipment.
