Oil Condition Monitoring

Understanding the health of machinery is crucial, and oil condition plays an important role in this.

Much like how blood in the human body carries essential health information, oil in machinery carries valuable data about its condition.

IMAnalytics track this data effectively through continuous online monitoring of oil, ensuring 24/7 availability of critical health information.

Monitor your oil for better machine health

With IMAnalytics, continuous monitoring of various oil metrics is possible, changing the need of time-based sampling. This system also includes alarm settings to alert users to any significant changes in the oil’s condition. 

There are two primary focus areas in oil monitoring for evaluate machine health:

  • The condition of the oil.
  • The detection of contamination particles within it.

IMAnalytics enables monitoring of both these key elements. Additionally, we can combine oil monitoring with advanced vibration analysis, providing a more complete insight to your machine health. 

Water presence in oil can be very critical, often due to condensation, cooler leaks, or incorrect oil types. This leads to corrosion, oxidation, and reduced lubrication quality, resulting in metal-to-metal contact. 

Beyond oil condition degradation, contamination by dirt, dust, grit, or internal wear particles are a common issue. These contaminants can be proof of various potential problems. 

The presence of external contaminants such as dirt, dust, or grit may indicate a need for thorough cleaning or oil replacement. They could also suggest more severe problems, like cracks or breaks in machinery casing, allowing harmful external particles to enter.

IMAnalytics not only detects these particles but also analyses their types and concentrations to pinpoint specific machinery failures or approaching issues.
