Background

ALT - Onsite Oil Quality Tester

 

It has come to our attention that many fleet opeartors have become increasingly suspect of their servicing prodivers by paying for oil changes and not receving them.

The ALT Lubricant Tester was designed to take the guess work out of oil change intervals, and is a digital hand held oil testing device that was designed to quickly and accurately test in-service oil by analyzing all total contaminants, resulting in a digital read-out e.g 1.4 - View the ALT Lubricant Tester letter head in pdf format

How does the unit work?

It gives you a total reading at the end of the testing procedure of all acculated contamnants in the in-service lubricnt on test e.g varnish, soot, gums (bi-products of the combustion affect), all wear metals, water and fuel

How do you know the end reading is accurate?

The ALT unit has been developed in tandem with full laboratory analysis reports so as to give correct and accurate end readings with all in-service lubricants types, taking the guess work out of oil drain cycles, filter changes, and giving end users piece of mind in servicing their equipment.

This potentially allows the user to 'MAX OUT' lubricants and filters in-service safely and with confidence.

Can i use this unit instead of a full laboratory analysis?

Yes, this is what the ALT was designed for. Once conversant with the ALT and its operation then you will be able to monitor with confidence the life span of the lubricant you are testing, which will elimate the necessity for a full laboratory analysis.

The unit will do a full test which will be very accurate, from start to finish, in 3-5mins whereas a full laboratory analysis can take up to several weeks before the operator knows of any possible damaging factors occuring to the lubricant in the machine under test.

Can the ALT detect water and fuel in the lubricant on test?

Yes, at the end of the primary test procedure the instruction manual will direct the operator in the process required to test for water ingression or fuel dillution in the lubricants on test.

The "ALT" Lubricant Tester is an electronic instrument which measures the dielectric constant of lubricating oils. The instrument does not yield absolute values, but, instead, makes possible a quantitative determination of the change (deviation) of the dielectric constant between fresh (unused) oil and a sample of used oil. This deviation is an indicator of the overall condition of the used oil.

Exhaustive testing by the "ALT" Lubricant tester manufacturers clearly proved that the deviation of the dielectric constant of motor oil, transission/gearbox oil, hydrauilc/powersteering fluid etc, is clearly in direct correlation to the duration of usage of the oil, ie., the time the oil is in service. All oils show a progressive reduction in "quality" with longer use.

By testing and using "ALT" Lubricant Testers in conjunction with proper laboratory testing of lubricants in actual use, it was also clearly demonstrated that improving oil quality, increasing sump capacity and/or using micro-filtration greatly reduces the rate of oil deterioration, making it possible to safely and greatly lengthen the interval between oil changes.

The comparative analysis of oils in actual use demonstrated that a good correlation exists between the results established through laboratory methods and the change in the oil's dielectric constant as measured by the "ALT" Lubricant Tester.

On Site And Remote, Oil Quality Monitoring Services

Being one of the key elements of the Complete, Predictive and Preventative Maintenance Lubrication Concept, offers customers two Oil Quality Monitoring Services using the "ALT" Lubricant Testers:

1.a PM Distributor (Rose Engineering).

2.the oil for them. They post used oil samples to Rose Engineering for analysis from a 'remote' location.

People using the Remote service simply purchase a PM Remote Monitor Kit, which consists of three small oil sample bottles, tube for extracting oil samples, 2 padded, post paid envelopes to post oil samples in, instruction sheet, and oil data sheet.

Oil samples are posted to PM Lubricants' Brisbane office where they are analysed free of charge with a Lubri-Sensor, and a detailed report is faxed, phoned or mailed back to you the same day, advising you of what action to take.

 

That action may be one of the following:

1.of kilometres or hours.

ALT Lubricant Tester Information:

The "ALT" Lubricant Tester is an easily operated hand-held field test instrument for determining the overall change, or deterioration in motor oil, transmisson/gearbox oil, hydraulic/powersteering fluids etc, resulting from use.
