| The iLab 475 allows real time/on site varnish potential testing when used in combination with a patch test kit. This lightweight, palm-sized spectrophotometer allows you to conveniently take color measurements of surfaces. This unit has been optimized for performing the Membrane Patch Colorimetry (MPC) test (draft standard in ASTM). It captures spectra and computes results for easy downloading and reporting. The iLab 475 run on three AA batteries, making it portable while take up limited lab space. Connect the unit to a computer via USB connection to transfer data and methods. It comes preprogrammed with a software package that will report color values in CIE LAB ΔE values, the current reporting method in the draft MPC method. The user manual also includes a detailed section on interpreting MPC results; an invaluable tool to help understand the impact of fluid degredation and varnish formation in a range of industries. |

Modern turbine oils are formulated differently than their cousins of the recent past, starting with a switch from Group I to Group II (and beyond) basestocks coupled with the incorporation of more complex and effective antioxidant chemistries. Reliance on antiquated analytical techniques has caught many users off guard as these tests are no longer the predictive tool that they once were. The time has come to rethink how we monitor mineral-based turbine oils.
