ERASPEC OIL - Portable FTIR Oil Analysis

Eralytics GmbH Austria introduces ERASPEC OIL, the first truly portable stand-alone analyzer that offers all the advantages of latest FTIR technology for lubricant oil condition monitoring in full compliance with ASTM, DIN and JOAP methods.

Lubrication is vital for machinery operation. Early detection of lube oil degradation and engine wear is essential for timely replacement. It helps avoid unnecessary maintenance while reducing the risk of breakdowns.

ERASPEC OIL uses the economic infrared (IR) analysis test method to deliver specific information about the chemical condition of the lubricating oil. IR analysis also allows inferences about the state of the machine component from which the sample was taken. IR measurement is fast, provides reliable results and a large amount of information can be gained from an IR spectrum. Therefore, oil analysis laboratories use it as a routine method.

Field Design for Lab Performance
Compact and rugged (8 kg / 17.6 lb in a full aluminum housing), the ERASPEC OIL brings lab quality results to the field. With its patented rugged FTIR spectrometer the ERASPEC OIL provides immediate feedback on in-service oil quality even at remote sites, where avoiding equipment breakdown is most critical.

Easy Operation
ERASPEC OIL offers a built-in industry PC and a large full color touch screen that allow the direct display of the oil spectra as graphic chart. Like this spectra are immediately analyzed and compared with other spectra, as several thousand spectra can be saved in the internal instrument memory.
