For Field Inspection of Lube Oils, the following points are essential to take action
a) Basic Tests for Lube Oils are to observe the Oil in Glass Sample Bottle for Color Inspection.
b) If you Observe that the Color of Lube Oils is Milky or Dark in the shade, then you have to process for further testing with Hand Held Testing Kits which are easy to use at the site.
Following are the Testing Kits that can be used at the site for Checking Lube Oil.
1) Millipore Patch Testing Kit?– This Testing Kit is helpful for measuring contamination in oil as per NAS/ISO by observing the Patch Paper with Microscope. This is a very basic test to know if oil is contaminated or clean. This is a Portable Patch Testing Kit and is easy to handle everywhere at the site.
2) Hydrogauge Oil Test Kit?– It is used for checking Moisture or Water Contamination in oil by adding a 10 ml Sample in 2 types of different reagents. This is also an Offline & Portable Testing kit that shows results approximately and at a very low cost.
3) Visgauge Oil Test Kit – This kit is helpful for checking the viscosity of oils from 0 to 460 ranges of oils. This testing kit is Portable and easy to use.
