The Lubri-Sensor
Electronic Oil Quality Analyser
The 2nd Key to Predictive and Preventative
Maintenance Lubrication!
Oil is the life-blood of your equipment, and just like your
own blood, every sample tells a story.
Main Benefits
· Saves you time, money, breakdowns.
· Accurately measures quality of oil in
service.
· Shows total contamination of lubricant.
· Allows you to safely judge how long the oil
can stay in service.
· Determines safe and cost effective oil and
filter change intervals.
· Enables you to safely extend oil change
intervals.
· Detects Fuel and Water contamination in
lubricant.
· Alerts you to potential equipment malfunction
and/or failure before it happens.
· Saves frequent and unnecessary lab tests - it
tells you when and if you need a lab test.
Since they began using and marketing them in 1978, PM Lubricants has
found the *Lubri-Sensor and its smaller counterpart, the *Lube-Safe,
to be totally reliable, dependable and accurate. They highly
recommend them for people who own and operate multiple pieces of
equipment, as their regular use will literally save you thousands of
dollars in the long term.
*PM Lubricants are the Australasian distributors for both the Lubri-Sensor
and the Lube-Safe.
Lubri-Sensor Oil Quality Analyser Information
The Lubri-Sensor is an easily operated, hand-held field test
instrument for determining the overall change, or deterioration, in
motor oil resulting from use. If used regularly and with adequate
documentation (eg. PM’s Identigraph Reports), the Lubri-Sensor
offers the following advantages:
· Maximisation and safe extension of intervals
between oil changes.
· Early detection of mechanical failures in
conjunction with preventative maintenance procedures.
· Avoidance of unnecessary engine damage
resulting from overly used lubricants.
· Reduction in the number of costly and
unnecessary laboratory analysis of oil samples.
The Lubri-Sensor is an electronic instrument which measures the
dielectric constant of lubricating oils. The instrument does not
yield absolute values, but, instead, makes possible a quantitative
determination of the change (deviation) of the dielectric constant
between fresh (unused) oil and a sample of used oil. This deviation
is an indicator of the overall condition of the used oil.
Exhaustive testing by the Lubri-Sensor manufacturers (and extensive
field use by the founders of PM Lubricants since 1978), clearly
proved that the deviation of the dielectric constant of motor oil is
clearly in direct correlation to the duration of usage of the oil,
ie., the time the oil is in service. All oils show a progressive
reduction in "quality" with longer use.
By testing and using Lubri-Sensors in conjunction with proper
laboratory testing of lubricants in actual use, it was also clearly
demonstrated that improving oil quality, increasing sump capacity
and/or using micro-filtration greatly reduces the rate of oil
deterioration, making it possible to safely and greatly lengthen the
interval between oil changes.
The comparative analysis of oils in actual use demonstrated that a
good correlation exists between the results established through
laboratory methods and the change in the oil’s dielectric constant
as measured by the Lubri-Sensor.
Being
able to predict potential problems and deal with them before
breakdowns or failures occur potentially saves you thousands of
dollars in unscheduled down time, and, subsequently,
thousands of dollars in lost productivity and profitability.
