HYDRAULIC FLUID ANALYSIS TESTS

Oxidation and Water by FTIR

This test using the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer, (FTIR), is designed specifically for the analysis of used oils, to detect the presence of degradation and contamination products, such as oxidation and water.

Oil can combine with oxygen to form aggressive by-products. Heat, pressure and wear metals can accelerate this process leading to deposits, corrosion, lacquering or thickening of the oil.
