Two Methods To Report Particle Count<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
One significant change to the test process is related to reporting particle counts by two different methods (pore blockage<\/a>\/optical<\/a>). When there is a significant difference in ISO codes between the two methods, this suggests a possible reason could be the presence of soft contaminants. This additional test gives the lab another means of detecting the presence of soft insoluble products or other anomalies present in the sample.<\/div>\n

New Parameters For FTIR Analysis\u00a0For Turbine Oil<\/strong><\/div>\n
Another significant upgrade is the inclusion of TestOil's FTIR<\/a> analysis for turbine oil. The data interpretation has been improved to generate new parameters which will provide a more detailed analysis of the health of the turbine oil. The new parameters include in the Varnish Potential Analysis solution include:<\/div>\n
