The TOR-6 lubricating oil moisture and particles content tester, manufactured by GlobeCore, has been developed for the purpose of monitoring the purity and condition of lubricating fluids in various types of equipment. During operation, foreign particles such as metal, abrasive, wear product residues, and water can enter the oil. The timely detection of such contaminants is therefore of paramount importance in order to prevent premature wear of components and malfunctions of equipment. TOR-6 performs two primary measurements: it determines the amount of mechanical impurities in the fluid and records the presence of water or excess moisture. The measurement results allow for a rapid evaluation of the suitability of the oil for further use, or for the determination of the necessity for replacement or filtration. The device is characterised by its portability and ease of use, rendering it suitable for deployment in both laboratory and field settings. The apparatus is equipped with a digital display, an intuitive interface, and a system for the storage of results. A minimal quantity of sample is adequate for the purpose of measurements. The TOR-6 assists companies in the continuous monitoring of lubricants, thereby extending the lifespan of equipment, mitigating the risk of breakdowns, and optimising maintenance costs.
