ICP-OES Spectrometer for Direct Oil & Lubricant Wear Metal Analysis | ICPO-30
ICP-OES Spectrometer for Direct Oil & Lubricant Wear Metal Analysis | ICPO-30
The ICPO-30 is engineered specifically for plant reliability engineers, maintenance departments, and commercial testing facilities requiring rapid oil analysis with no sample digestion or chemical acid preparation. Detect microscopic component wear, additive depletion, and fluid contamination in seconds to prevent catastrophic equipment failure and eliminate unplanned downtime.
Industrial Equipment Applications
Monitors heavy gearboxes, industrial compressors, high-speed pumps, and blowers. Detects internal bearing and gear wear before sudden line shutdowns.
Routine crankcase, transmission, and differential oil screening for haul trucks, excavators, and loaders operating under extreme load and severe dust conditions.
Continuous oil condition tracking for steam turbines, gas turbines, and hydroelectric generators to protect journal bearings and thrust pads.
Screens industrial hydraulic fluids for valve spool wear, pump vane erosion, and seal degradation across manufacturing presses and injection molding machinery.
In-service lubricant analysis for large-bore marine diesel engines and rail power assemblies. Identifies cylinder liner, ring, and crankshaft bearing wear.
Batch verification for industrial oil blenders and grease compounders, confirming correct concentrations of anti-wear packages, detergents, and antioxidants.
