Working with thermal heat transfer systems can involve very high temperatures, which thermally break down the oil in use to form flammable light ends. Hence it is vitally important for these systems to monitor the fire risk of these fluids regularly. Some regulatory guidance even makes it mandatory under safety laws to perform regular fire safety testing on thermal oil systems, including thermal oil analysis. If you care about the safety of those working near your thermal oil systems, then regular thermal oil analysis is a great addition to your current safety practices.
Testing includes:
- Viscosity @ 40’C
- Elemental analysis
- Water %
- Pensky Martin Closed Cup Point
- Cleveland Open Cup Flash Point
- Fire Point
- Micro-carbon residue (optional upgrade)
