WHITE PAPER:

Measuring Water Contamination in Industrial Oils

Regularly measuring the amount of water in turbine oil is an important part of successful turbine operation. Severe water contamination can cause changes in the oil’s viscosity, accelerated oxidation, additive depletion and decreased bearing life. This paper describes a new method of analyzing water contamination in turbine oils that is capable of providing an accurate determination of the total water contamination in an oil sample as well as immediate alerts of severe contamination.  View Spectro Scientific's Privacy Policy
