SKF TMEH1 OilCheck Oil Condition Meter

Features:
Shows changes in oil condition affected by such things as:
Water content
Fuel contamination
Metallic content
Oxidation
Hand held and user friendly
Numerical read-out to facilitate trendin

The TMEH 1 OilCheck detects and measures the dielectric constant of oil. By comparing the measurements obtained from used and unused oils of the same brand, the SKF OilCheck is able to determine the degree of change in the condition of the oil. Dielectric change is directly related to the degradation and the contamination level of the oil and will allow the user to achieve optimised intervals between oil changes and detect increased mechanical wear and loss of the oils lubricating properties. To facilitate trending the instrument is equipped with a numerical read-out.
 
Through its comparative operation OilCheck is able to show changes in oil condition affected by water content, fuel contamination, metallic content and oxidation, to within a typical repeatability factor of better then five per cent. These results in turn provide an indication of the loss of lubricating properties of the oil and also of and mechanical wear in the equipment in which the oil is used. The TMEH 1 is a compact (250mm x 95mm x 32mm) unit that will last for more than 150 hours or 3,000 tests on one 9V alkaline battery.
