  • Method of measuring water contamination in turbine and other industrial oils
    Patent number: 9500638
    Abstract: A method of determining the amount of water in an industrial oil (e.g., turbine oil) includes homogenizing an oil sample, subjecting the homogenized sample to infrared spectroscopy within 30 minutes of homogenization, and determining a baseline absorbance level for the sample within a predetermined wavenumber range. That baseline is compared with spectral template baselines and, based on the comparison, the amount of water in the oil sample is estimated.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 22, 2016
    Assignee: Spectro Scientific, Inc.
