Monitoring the iron content in the cylinder scrape down oil allows to react accordingly to minimize acid corrosion and abrasive wear.

CMT developed an innovative and easy to use Test to measure corrosive and abrasive iron in total in the cylinder scrape down oil. Together with our CDO BN device, which is adjusted to the useage with cylinder scrape down oil, the test allows to measure important parameters easily.

This allows to optimize the lubrication oil rate while minimizing the risk of cylinder wear.

Cold corrosion is a type of corrosion resulting from condensation of sulfuric acid on the liner walls and which deteriorates the liner surface. CMT has developed a reagent based test to measure the level of corrosive wear.

Testing lubricant samples for ferrous wear debris is an established method to detect developing and impending damages as well as gaining knowledge about the wear life cycle of the tested equipment. CMT´s newest addition to its product range - the Ferrous Wear Debris Meter - is an accurate, easy-to-use solution for offline and at-line measurements of ferrous wear debris concentrations.
