Results for tag: "Oil Condition Monitoring"

Oil Condition Monitoring (OCM) is a process used to monitor the health of oil in industrial machinery. It is used to detect changes in the oil's physical and chemical properties, which can indicate the presence of contaminants or the need for maintenance. OCM can be used to detect wear and tear on machinery, as well as to identify potential problems before they become serious. It can also be used to extend the life of machinery and reduce the cost of maintenance. OCM is typically done using a variety of methods, such as spectroscopy, viscosity testing, and particle counting. These methods can be used to detect changes in the oil's properties, such as viscosity, acidity, and water content. OCM can also be used to detect the presence of contaminants, such as dirt, metal particles, and other debris. Some of the companies in the OCM market include Spectro Scientific, Parker Kittiwake, and Petro-Lubricant Testing Laboratories. Show Less Read more
