HANDHELD INFRARED OIL ANALYZER
Route-enabled, Solvent-free, Immediate Results
The FluidScan Q1100
provides direct quantitative
measurement of a lubricants
condition and plays an
important role in predictive
maintenance.
Eliminate unneeded oil changes
Extend the life of machine oils by determining when the oil is no longer fit for use due
to water contamination or oil degradation. Move from time-based to condition-based oil
change intervals. Save on labor, oil, oil disposal costs and equipment availability.
Reduce unscheduled downtime
Improve the health and uptime of your mechanical assets by monitoring the condition of
your lubricant systems. FluidScan makes it easy to test the key properties of oil condition,
on-site with immediate results.
Reduce unscheduled downtime
and increase availability of critical
equipment by monitoring oil
degradation and contamination.
Fast and easy to use
The analyzer is a practical alternative to lab-based testing. It delivers actionable
information with speed and accuracy, but without the need for an expert user, dedicated
space or hazardous solvents.
The FluidScan rapidly determines oil
degradation and water contamination
levels that lead to machinery corrosion
and wear, the principal causes of
equipment downtime.
Comprehensive test for water
contamination (patent pending)
The FluidScan includes innovative test
methodology for both dissolved and free
water and is a practical alternative to
more complex tests such as Karl Fischer
titrations.
Applications include mineral and
synthetic oils used in machinery
components such as gear boxes,
compressors, hydraulic systems, turbine
and transmissions as well as diesel
engines such as back-up generators.

Accurate determination of oil
degradation
The FluidScan correlates to TAN and TBN measurements made with the ASTM D664 and
D4739 titration methods.
Simple results display and data handling
The device software displays interpreted test results, including oil health determination.
Data can be exported to companion software, including the AMS OilView LIMS module.
FluidScan Q1100 Ordering Information
The FluidScan Q1100 includes the FluidScan device, battery charger, USB cable, USB flash drive, and the
Fluid Manager Suite, which contains the Fluid Manager desktop application, user manuals, and a backup
copy of the FluidScan device software and oil library. The Industrial oil library license is included; specify
at time of order if purchasing the full library license or Comprehensive Water Solution. The FluidScan
standard accessories kit includes cleaning pads and pipettes for 100 samples and the IR check fluid.
FluidScan can also be ordered in a combination kit with the SpectroVisc Q3050 portable viscometer. The
battery-operated SpectroVisc Q3050 is a 40C kinematic viscometer. It uses a few drops of oil to measure
viscosity and does not require solvents to clean between samples.
