CYLINDER DRAIN OIL ANALYSIS FOR 2-STROKE ENGINES
All engine OEMs require under-piston used drain oil to be sampled from the engine; this is from the scavenge bottom drain. The oil is used for cylinder condition evaluation. Drain oil analysis is also a strong tool for judging the engine wear condition.
Onboard Sample Testing Equipment and Instruments
Monitor the health of lubricants and greases by taking a sample and analysing in one of the following products:
Lube oil water contamination: DIGI+
Lube oil base number and/or water contamination: DIGI+
Lube oil viscosity: Heated Viscometer
Lube oli multi-parameter analysis: Oil Test Centre
Monitor machinery wear by detecting wear debris in lubricants and greases by taking a sample and analysing it:
Magnetic iron wear debris in oil or grease: Ferrous Wear Meter (FWM+)
Engine Mounted Direct-Sampling Online Sensors
Continuously monitor the ferromagnetic iron (Fe) content in cylinder drain oil (CDO).

ENGINES
Maintaining your machinery's oil is crucial, as it's the key lubricant preventing metal-on-metal contact in engines, hoists, and compressors, ensuring smooth operation.
Prioritising oil analysis is essential for maintenance teams to keep machinery running efficiently and reduce downtime, thereby optimizing output and cutting costs. Utilising advanced oil analysis tools, along with wear debris analysis and other condition monitoring techniques, is vital for the health and efficiency of heavy machinery.

FUELS
Marine fuel deliveries are measured by volume but paid for by mass. Ensuring the fuel quality at the time of deliver and calculating the density is an integral part of good bunkering practices. Challenges with future fuels, including bio-content and stability issues, require even more of Parker's condition monitoring solutions to help companies measure compability, density and water content to calculate the mass of the fuel delivered.
Our onboard fuel labs can help ensure fuel is within the required specification under ISO 8217, Viscosity, Density, Water, CCAI, Compabibility, Pour Point, Salt. They can also help maintain bunker fuel samples for Port State Inspection under MARPOL 73/78 Annex VI.
Sampling and Storage
Taking a representative sample is essential. Use proven samplers, sample capture and storage.
Fuel oil bunker drip samplers: Bunker Samplers
Capture samples in cubitainers and store in bottles: Cubitainer and Bottles
Securely store samples in a purpose made cabinet: Bunker Storage Cabinet
Onboard Sample Testing Equipment and Instruments
Monitor fuel by taking a sample and analysing in one of the following products:
Fuel oil vicosity: Heated Viscometer
Fuel oil density: Density Meter
Fuel oil compatibility, miscibility and stability: Compatibility Oven
Fuel Line Direct Sampling Online Sensors
Monitor fuel particulate contamination with sensors sampling directly. Constant feedback to displays or integrated into supervisory panels and monitoring systems.
