Spectro Incorporated (Littleton, MA) has developed the FluidScan, a handheld analyzer that can be used to measure water contamination, additive depletion, Total Base Number (TBN), and Total Acid Number (TAN), all of which are key parameters used to understand how healthy your lubricant is. According to the company, 80 percent of lubricants are disposed of before their time. Lubricant condition analysis can be utilized to extend drain intervals and reduce the user’s lubricant waste disposal, which leads to a decrease in costs and a reduction in environmental impact.
