Crackle Test for Industrial Oil: Simple, but a Great First Line Indicator

Crackle Test for Industrial Oil: Simple, but a Great First Line Indicator
The routine Crackle Test reveals the presence of free or emulsified water, but not dissolved water, in oil. It typically detects water concentrations of around 500 parts per million (ppm) or higher. However, specific oils exhibit different crackle detection limits. Understanding the specific detection limit for the oil being tested is critical for useful results.…

Testing Server Coolants: The Key to Protecting Both the Equipment and Your Data

Regular maintenance and monitoring of data center coolant are crucial for ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the cooling system. Testing, in particular, should occur regularly for several reasons:• Contaminant Control: Over time, coolants can accumulate contaminants such as particulate matter, biological growth, or metallic particles from corrosion. These contaminants can block cooling passages and…

Turbine Oil Analysis: Eurofins TestOil Offers this Essential Test

Turbine Oil Analysis: Eurofins TestOil Offers this Essential Test
Although turbine oil could last for more than a decade, it can start degrading long before that. Given this and because oil is the lifeblood of turbines, regular testing is important. While monthly oil analysis delivers a basic view of the oil’s condition, there are additional tests that should be performed annually to monitor key performance…
