TOR-7 Universal Transformer Oil Tester (moisture, gases, solid particles)
TOR-7 Universal Transformer Oil Tester (moisture, gases, solid particles)
Moisture content | Hydrogen content | Purity class | Small footprint
The TOR-7 transformer oil tester is designed to determine the volumetric gas content, moisture, contamination by solid particles, and hydrogen content in oil. The device can analyze mineral transformer oils with specific characteristics:
- kinematic viscosity at 50 °C – 2…12 mm2/s;
- density at 20°C – 800…950 kg/m3;
- mass moisture content in oil – not more than 10 ppm;
- industrial purity class according to ISO 4406 – not worse 21/19/16.
Operating Principle
Measurements are based on tracking the pressure change of gas within a vacuumed cylinder during the pouring of an oil portion. Considering the volumes of the cylinder and the poured oil, as well as the pressure inside the cylinder before and after pouring, one can determine the volumetric gas content. With the help of sensors and a control board, the moisture content, oil temperature, hydrogen content, and the number of solid particles in the oil are calculated and displayed on the screen.
