MiniLab 153: On-Site Oil Analyzer for Industrial Machinery

Oil analysis not only provides early indications of equipment wear, but also identifies the root causes of corrosion. On-site oil analysis eliminates the wait time associated with delivering samples off-site and enables instant decision making.

By combining four simple tests, the MiniLab 153 provides comprehensive on-site oil analysis, delivering instant actionable results, and saving time and costs.

Key features of this system are as follows:

One product, delivering lab-quality analysis beyond the laboratory

Simplified data handling and report interpretation via TruVu and Trivector reporting

Simplified workflow for non-expert users; no chemist required

Highlights

Trivector™ – Oil and Machine Health Simplified

The TriVector™ is a simple representation of the integrity of the lubrication system and the machine health. It indicates the degree of health in each vector. The Trivector condition can be understood by measuring the key physical and chemical parameters of the oil.

The following questions can be answered:

Particle Count and Ferrous

Viscosity

Elemental Analysis

Chemical Analysis

TruVu™ LIMS Asset Management Software

The Minilab 153 is operated using tVu software, which features an Asset Management database and a reference oil database that can be expanded by end users.

The software provides several standard and configurable report formats with alarm limit templates and analytics, and automatic email distribution of reports.

Color-coded Trivector reports provide a clear picture of machinery health by identifying parameters that are beyond normal limits.
