VISCOSITY-SENSOR
Monitoring of equipment and oil condition is essential. Traditionally oil analysis labs used to conduct these tests which wasted a lot of precious time, delayed maintenance and proved to be an expensive affair. Determining oil quality quickly with a portable device allows on-site screening and enables quick, informed decisions that saves equipment and reduces maintenance costs. BESST Engineering provides the oil viscosity test kit to conduct viscosity test on various oils. It is suitable for all aggregates because of its modular design.
Application area
The Viscosity-Sensor is a service tool for determination of viscosity and temperature in hydraulic and lubricating oils while determine the kinematic viscosity directly. The sensor is a screw-in and immersion device respectively and appropriates oils with possibly contamination by thin fluid mineral oils, like diesel fuel or MGO. The contamination of HFO could by recognized by a higher viscosity, too.

Measuring principle and performance features
The sensor continuously measures the temperature and SAW-dynamic viscosity. It allows both measurement and documentation of changes in hydraulic liquids and lubricants. The measured values are continuously documented, evaluated and stored. Damage can get recognized at an early stage, or even get completely avoided as an early warning provides the opportunity to counter machine malfunction by appropriate preventive actions. Maintenance and oil change intervals might get extended. It is also possible to check service measures and the use of prescribed lubricant quality.
Advantages:
- Viscosity sensor enables measurement of viscosity as well as documentation of data.
- It can be completely immersed in oil.The oil viscosity test sensor determines kinematic viscosity directly.
- Changes can be detected early and damage can be prevented.
- Repair and maintenance requirements decrease and found on time, if required.
