Viscosity

Viscosity is widely regarded as an oil’s most

important characteristic. It is the viscosity
that shows the oil’s resistance to flow and
the strength of the oil film between surfaces.
The Parker DIGI Viscometer (or Viscotube) uses the falling ball
technique to measure the viscosity of an oil. The DIGI Viscotube
is provided with viscosity calculation software and a digital
thermometer for accurate results.

The ECON Viscostick gives a simple go/no go result. Typically it

will detect 5-10% distillate fuel dilution of an SAE 30 to 40 engine
oil as well as increases in viscosity due to oil contamination.

• Make informed maintenance decisions and prevent costly

machinery downtime
• Measuring oil viscosity provides early detection of
contamination, fuel ingress and shear thinning
• Suitable for hydraulic oils, diesel engine oils, enclosed gears
and fuel oils
• Simple, cost effective equipment requiring no consumables

 Acid Number (AN)
Testing for AN is essential to
maintain and protect your equipment,
preventing damage in advance.
Measure both the weak organic and strong inorganic
acids present within an oil with the Parker AN Test.
A rise in AN is indicative of oil oxidation due to time or
operating temperature.

• Test kit is supplied with up to twenty-five tests,

enabling you to monitor AN level trends
• Simple to use drop test - the result is shown
by a colour change, providing you with easy to
interpret results, suitable for use by
non-technical personnel

Particle Contamination - Hydraulic Particles (Patch Test)

Monitoring your hydraulic and gearbox oils is a necessary part of any
preventative maintenance programme.
One of the most valuable indicators of machinery condition is oil cleanliness. The presence of particulate
contamination in hydraulic or gearbox oils can be catastrophic. Monitoring fluid cleanliness levels assists
in identifying abnormal conditions and preventing potential machinery damage.

• Identify abnormal conditions as part of your preventative maintenance programme

• Clear and easy examination of particle contamination
• No interference from water droplets or pearlescent fluids
• Comes with a full instruction manual, containing contamination
charts for easy analysis of results
• Test kit is supplied in a fully portable, robust case for quick and
easy testing in the field
