The TOR-8 silicone transformer oil residual gas content tester made by GlobeCore is used to figure out the amount of dissolved gases in dielectric fluid used in power transformers, electric motors and other high-voltage equipment. Silicone oil can handle high temperatures and is pretty stable, but over time and under pressure, gases can build up in it, which can lead to malfunctions. Keeping an eye on the leftover gas is a key part of checking how well the equipment is working. The TOR-8 device lets you quickly and accurately measure the amount of dissolved gases in silicone oil using vacuum degassing. The released gases are collected in a chamber and analysed, and then the operator gets the data in a digital format that’s really easy to use. It’s easy to use, it’s got a compact design and you can use it in the lab or out on site. It’s controlled through an intuitive panel, and the process is automated so no special training is needed. TOR-8 helps to spot changes in the properties of silicone oil quickly, which helps to prevent damage to equipment and extend its safe operation.
