Fluid Condition Monitoring Products

Fluid Condition Monitoring Products Contamination Causes Most Hydraulic Failures: The experience of designers and users of hydraulic and lube oil systems has verified the following fact: over 75% of all system failures are a direct result of contamination! The cost due to contamination is staggering, resulting from: Loss of production (downtime)Component replacement costsFrequent fluid replacement Costly disposalIncreased overall maintenance costsIncreased scrap rate  Functions of Hydraulic Fluid Contamination interferes with the four functions of hydraulic fluids:  1. To act as an energy transmission medium. 2. To lubricate internal moving parts of components. 3. To act as a heat transfer medium. 4. To seal clearances between moving parts. If any one of these functions is impaired, the hydraulic system will not perform as designed. The resulting downtime can easily cost a large manufacturing plant thousands of rupees per hour. Hydraulic fluid maintenance helps prevent or reduce unplanned downtime. This is accomplished through a continuous improvement program that minimizes and removes contaminants. Contaminant Damage Orifice blockageComponent wearFormation of rust or other oxidation Chemical compound formationDepletion of additivesBiological growth Hydraulic fluid is expected to create a lubricating film to keep precision parts separated. Ideally, the film is thick enough to completely fill the clearance between moving parts. This condition results in low wear rates. When the wear rate is kept low enough, a component is likely to reach its intended life expectancy, which may be millions of pressurization cycles.
