Spectro Scientific's FieldLab 58C is a cutting-edge, portable oil analysis system designed for use in industries such as mining and upstream oil extraction. It provides immediate, comprehensive data on oil condition and wear debris, enabling real-time equipment monitoring. This system is key for companies aiming to avoid costly machinery failures and optimize their maintenance schedules.
The FieldLab 58C is not only innovative but also user-friendly, requiring minimal technical expertise from operators. It combines four key technologies—an X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer, a Filter Particle Quantifier (FPQ), an infrared (IR) spectrometer, and a kinematic viscometer—into one compact, portable unit. The system performs four crucial tests within just 10 minutes, offering up to 20 essential oil analysis parameters. These tests cover critical areas such as particle count, elemental concentrations, fluid chemistry, and viscosity using just 12 milliliters of oil. The results help operators quickly assess machine wear, contamination, and lubricant condition, empowering them to make fast, informed decisions.
Why Choose the FieldLab 58C?
In industries like mining and upstream oil extraction, the smooth operation of large, complex machinery such as generators, gearboxes, and hydraulic pumps is critical. The FieldLab 58C provides a mobile, efficient solution for monitoring these machines' health by detecting abnormal wear debris from iron and nonferrous metal components. Spectro Scientific’s advanced technology allows for easy identification of contaminants like water, glycol, soot, and other particles larger than 4 microns, ensuring that machinery continues to function smoothly and reliably.
The FieldLab 58C's rugged design makes it well-suited for the harsh conditions often found in mining environments. Its battery-powered operation, solvent-free design, and intuitive touchscreen interface streamline the oil analysis process, making it simple and fast. Furthermore, its smart diagnostics feature allows users to customize alarm limits and operational parameters, enhancing the system's adaptability to different needs.
FieldLab 58C and Mining Applications
In mining and other heavy industries, equipment failures can result in massive downtime and financial losses. Lubricant and wear debris analysis, such as that provided by the FieldLab 58C, can predict potential breakdowns and extend machinery lifespan. The system generates easy-to-read reports with diagnostics and recommended actions based on factory or user-defined alarm settings, minimizing human error and ensuring accurate results.
The FieldLab 58C is also ASTM-compliant, offering users confidence in the reliability of its results. Spectro Scientific’s TruVu 360 Fluid Intelligence Software further boosts efficiency by helping operators manage their fleets more effectively. Maintenance teams can monitor key performance indicators (KPIs), assess asset readiness, and track cost savings from oil analysis programs through its management dashboards.
