Test Device “TOTAL IRON CHECK” for Chemical Determination of Total, Corroded and Abrasive Iron Content in Cylinder Drain Oil (CDO) (Patent Number: 2982974)
Exhibitor
Martechnic GmbH
The test device "TOTAL IRON CHECK" enables regular on-board monitoring of total, corroded and abrasive iron content in cylinder drain oil (CDO) samples. The total iron concentration (the sum of abrasive and corrosive wear) provides an indication of excessive wear and tear of the components surrounding the engine combustion chamber. The precise measurement method of Martechnic is based on the chemical reaction of iron present in cylinder lubricant in corroded or abrasive state and special reaction liquid.
With the "TOTAL IRON CHECK" it is possible to quickly and accurately determine the total iron content in CDO samples in the range from 15/20 – 1100 mg/kg. All iron particles in the CDO sample will be detected, measured and displayed irrespective of their size and the reason of iron accumulation (corrosive or abrasive). Depending on the measured iron concentration, the color of the liquid can get various shades of blue varying from light to dark. This color change can be also visually observed after the test.
The enhanced, redesigned version of the test device "TOTAL IRON CHECK" includes several updated features:
Upgraded navigation menu with the possibility to create individual named data slots for up to 20 different cylinders units;
Large memory capacity: storage of 400 measured values with date and time stamps;
USB to serial connection for transfer of test results into a terminal program and further into Excel or similar software.
