TestOil offers a comprehensive analysis for detecting varnish and initiating mitigation before it causes unplanned downtime and destroys the machine.
Primary varnish indicator tests—to find immediate issues:
• Membrane Patch Colorimetry
• Ultracentrifuge
• Particle Count Difference (2 separate tests, optical particle count and pore blockage particle count)
Lubricant condition tests— to help determine root cause of existing high varnish conditions and warn about lubricant related varnish formation issues:
• Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR)
• Water Content (Karl Fischer titration)
• Remaining Useful Life (RULER)
• Acid Number
An optimally functioning IMM will exhibit the fastest possible cycle speed, uneventful operation for long periods, no unplanned downtime, no major failures and a long lifespan. Regular oil analysis with TestOil will go a long way toward making that a reality. To read more on conquering varnish, you can download the eBook, “How to Outsmart Varnish and Avoid Costly Downtime.”
