Title: Biokem RULER Oil Analysis


1
Biokem RULER Oil Analysis
2
Remaining Useful Life Evaluation Routine (RULER)
  • Every lubricant application can benefit from
    RULER testing / RULER Oil Analysis. By
    proactively measuring the oils remaining
    antioxidants (oxidation fighters) oil degradation
    can be predicted before risking equipment
    reliability and increased wear.

3
  • RULER determines the remaining useful life of
    oils and is ASTM listed test method ASTM D6810
    and ASTM D6971.

RULER
  • predicts oil oxidation before it occurs
  • customers no longer have to wait for oxidation to
    measure current levels
  • Customers do not need to risk equipment
    reliability by running oxidised oils in their
    system before oxidation is detected

6
  • Oxidation of lubricating oil can reduce equipment
    reliability, equipment protection and can cause
  • Increases in viscosity
  • acid formation (increasing TAN)

7
  • lubricant degradation
  • formation of varnish
  • waste lubricant that must be replaced

The advantages of RULER over Viscosity,  TAN,
FTIR and wear metal analysis
  • Many conventional testing techniques (kinematic
    viscosity, total acid number (TAN), infrared (IR)
    data, and wear metal analysis) are used to
    measure the extent of oil degradation and

10
  • only begin to show significant changes in the
    physical and chemical oil properties when the
    majority of the antioxidants have been depleted.
    By this stage the oil has already begun to
    substantially degrade.

12
  • RULER in comparison detects the remaining
    antioxidants and can be used to predict when
    oxidation will occur, allowing action to be taken
    before oil degradation risks equipment
    reliability and increases wear.

13
With RULER test, customers are able to
proactively
  • Monitor the depletion rates of the antioxidant
    protection package in new and used oils.
  • Quantify antioxidant levels of incoming and
    stored oil supplies.

14
  • Identify abnormal operating conditions prior to
    equipment failure following the detection of
    abrupt antioxidant depletion rates.
  • Determine proper oil change intervals and extend
    oil change intervals through timely antioxidant
    additive replenishment.

Information based oil drains Vs Time based oil
drains
  • To ensure that a lubricant is not used past the
    end of its useful life, time based oil changes
    are inherently conservative, which often results
    in the discarding of lubricants that are still
    suitable for use.

17
  • Understanding and forecasting the oxidation
    process of oils (using RULER) will enable
    information based oil drains and add value to
    your Oil Analysis or Condition Monitoring
    Program.
