The Spectro FluidScan® Q1100 is an advanced handheld infrared oil analyzer. It can be directly utilized for measuring a lubricant’s condition and helps in reducing lubricant mix-up.
The device determines when oil is unfit for use due to degradation of oil or contamination by other liquids. The patented flip-top design enables the device to speed up test preparation and cleanup. The handheld analyzer is ideal for monitoring in-service machinery oil and for extending oil change time in back-up generators and engines.
The Q1100 allows route-based oil analysis that combines with other predictive maintenance technologies such as thermography and vibration when utilized along with OilView software.
Furthermore, the device plays a major role in Machinery Health management by determining different parameters, including glycol, oil oxidation, water, total acid number (TAN) and total base number (TBN).
The Q1100’s route-based capability helps eliminate mislabeled samples and speeds up laboratory analysis. The device also comes in combination kits with the SpectroVisc Q3000 kinematic viscometer.
