FAST™ XRF Onboard Analyzer

Portable XRF analyzer for total iron (0–2000 ppm) and BN (0–140 mg KOH/g) in lubricants and cylinder drip oil, no chemical reagents; optional fuel sulfur module.

Description

The FAST XRF Onboard Analyzer uses X-ray fluorescence to measure total iron content and base number in lubricants quickly and accurately, including main engine cylinder drip oil samples, without chemical reagents.

Key features

  • Portable and compact, for use on board or onshore
  • Fast tests with a clear user interface and minimal sample preparation
  • Chemical-free, with minimal consumables and waste
  • Test range 0–2000 ppm iron and 0–140 mg KOH/g BN
  • Detects larger ferrous debris for a fuller picture of iron-related wear; can also analyse greases
  • Optional module for sulfur content in fuel
  • Lab validation showed strong correlation with reference results; a field test on a 15,372 TEU containership with more than 150 samples matched lab data

Applications

Onboard wear and BN monitoring of cylinder and system oils.
