Why Condition Monitoring?

With 70% of oil lubricated machines failing in service due to an oil condition problem of one type or another, it is critical to monitor the condition of the oil at the machine.

Our products can offer a low tech or high-tech solution depending on the criticality of the machine.

  • Hy-Pro Patch Test Kit

    Hy-Pro Patch Test Kit

    With Patch Test Kit 1, oil cleanliness can be visually analysed in the field without waiting for lab results and losing control of the analysis process.

    The Patch Test Kit 1 provides the opportunity to see the type, concentration, and actual size of particulate contamination inside the system.

  • Tan Delta Field Engineer Kit

    Tan Delta Field Engineer Kit

    Easily analyse any oil from any equipment in seconds with the portable Field Engineer Kit, enabling maintenance crews to make fact- based decision making. Instantly and scientifically determine exactly how worn oil is, how long until it needs to be changed or refreshed, how long until equipment maintenance is needed and be alerted to unseen internal issues with equipment which could lead to an unexpected breakdown needing attention.

    Simple and easy to use with no training required. Prevents wasting of good oil and ensures equipment is maintained when needed. Typically enables a significant reduction in oil use and maintenance – resulting in significant cost savings.

    The kit is built around the OQSx-G2 real time oil condition analysis sensor, which analyses oil at a molecular level to determine its exact condition. Results are displayed using the Field Engineer Kit results application which runs on any Windows based laptop or PC. Everything is included within a single portable Peli case designed for continuous use in rough industrial and commercial environments.

    • Instant oil condition analysis – Anywhere, anytime, any oil.
    • Configurable to any oil type – Mineral and synthetic.
    • Track and trend – Easily keep track of samples from different assets.
    • Simple & reliable – Portable and easy to use in any field or workshop environment.
    • Detect issues – Instantly detect unexpected equipment and oil issues.
    • Minimise carbon footprint – Achieve ESG targets by safely maximising oil life.

    Product No.: OQ-MOT-1-G2

  • Tan Delta Sense 1 Kit

    Tan Delta Sense 1 Kit

    An OQSX-G2 sensor kit for installations connecting to an existing monitoring system or local display. Includes the OQSx-G2 sensor and CADS configuration pack.

    SENSE-1 includes our OQSx-G2 real time oil analysis sensor, and our CADS sensor configuration pack which can be used to configure all Tan Delta sensors. The configuration kit can be retained for future use on other Tan Delta sensors in the future. The CADS configuration kit enables you to configure the sensor to the correct oil type and application and set the data output format that matches your target display.

    OQSx-G2 analyses oil in real time at a molecular level (0.001% accuracy), detecting, analysing and measuring changes caused by wear, contamination or mechanical issues with the equipment itself. This information enables you to significantly cut maintenance costs through using oil fully to the end of its life, undertaking maintenance when actually needed and reducing break downs.

    Once you have configured the OQSx-G2 to the target oil in your equipment using the CADS kit, you can install and connect it to your desired display to see the oil analysis data. You can retain the CADS kit for future use and means that you only need buy the sensor without a CADS kit in the future.

    • Real Time Oil Condition Analysis – continuously analyses and tracks oil condition in real time providing a simple to understand Tan Delta Number (TDN) scale.
    • Predict Maintenance – use the rate of change to easily and accurately predict oil end of life and safely extend intervals between maintenance according to equipment needs.
    • Event Alerts – immediate detection and alert in the event of contamination and or unseen equipment issues which may lead to breakdowns or damage.
    • Simple & Reliable– easy to install and use with any equipment operating in any environment. Operates continuously with no maintenance required.
    • Reduce Maintenance Costs – trend analysis of oil condition change enables maintenance to be planned ahead of time at the optimal point, safely extending maintenance intervals. Typically reduces maintenance costs by between 30% and 50%.
    • Improved Reliability – unseen issues cause subtle changes to oil condition that OQSx-G2 detects and alerts. Enables faults to be detected and fixed before failure, reducing costly break downs and extending equipment life.
    • ESG Targets – reduced oil consumption, spare part consumption, optimisation of equipment operating efficiency and extended productive equipment life all make a material and verifiable contribution to ESG targets.

    INCLUDED
    1 x OQSx-G2 Sensor
    1 x Cable-J / 1.9m – Sensor Config Cable
    Configuration and Data Management Software

  • Tan Delta Sense 2 Kit

    Tan Delta Sense 2 Kit

    Real-time oil analysis kit which can be easily retrofitted to any live operating equipment, providing continuous real-time oil analysis and equipment maintenance status insight.

    • Simple installation – Plug and Play kit.
    • Any oil type and any equipment – Simple retrofit option.
    • Predictive maintenance – Accurately predict when equipment needs maintenance.
    • Event alerts – Immediate detection and alert.
    • Reduce maintenance costs – Based on need, not time.

    SENSE-2 is a complete real-time oil condition analysis and equipment health monitoring kit that can be easily retrofitted onto any equipment. It enables you to immediately enjoy the multiple benefits of real-time oil condition analysis and monitoring: reduced oil use, reduced maintenance costs, and pre-emptive fault detection. Investment pay-back can be as little as a couple of months.

    Built around the OQSx-G2 sensor, oil is continuously analysed at a molecular level in real-time, logged and shown on the included EXPRESS display. This enables maintenance engineers to instantly know and understand the condition of the oil and equipment. Our embedded analytics trigger automatic alerts in the event of unexpected contamination, oil wear or detection of unseen internal equipment issues which if left may cause expensive damage or breakdowns. The built-in data logger and wireless interfaces make downloading data for further analysis simple.
