1. Traditional Viscometer Theory and Design Current viscosity measurement techniques rely heavily on the use of capillary, cone and plate, and concentric cylinder viscometers. These devices are mainly limited to the laboratory setting and contain obstacles to portability. While the capillary viscometer suffers from difficult and ...
Some years ago, the ship switched to handheld lubricant condition monitors, and then added a portable viscometer to its oil testing arsenal. “The portable instruments help us get more done in less time while providing results that are more accurate and reliable than single-test kits,” said Ocean Shipholdings’ William Maus, ...
Guevara added that onboard oil testing was limited to measuring viscosity of the oil in the cutters’ main diesel engines by using falling ball viscometers. “There were no standardized testing requirements for different components, and the test results remained at the different laboratories where the oil testing was performed. ...
Onboard oil testing was limited to viscosity testing on main diesel engines using falling ball viscometers. Most cutters perform engine oil changes based on time schedules ranging from 500 to 1000 hours on main engines and 250 to 500 hours on ship service diesel generators ...
Spectro offers two cost-effective, technologically superior and therefore realistic, portable device solutions - the Q5800 Expeditionary Fluid Analysis System and the FluidScan Q1000 and SpectroVisc Q3000 Portable Kit. The Q5800 is an expeditionary fluid analysis system that provides portable, all-in-one testing. That is. it is a multipurpose ...
As instrumentation size decreases and becomes more portable, oil analysis devices are now being put in the hands of the end user. ...
Three years ago, the ship switched to the Spectro FluidScan Q1000 handheld lubricant condition monitor and one year ago added the SpectroVisc Q3000 portable viscometer. The Q10000 performs 87 tests and provides 174 results in about two-thirds the time it took to conduct 138 tests yielding 138 results with the chemical test kit. “The Spectro ...
