eraoil is the first and most sophisticated standalone rotating disc electrode spectrometer that can analyze wear metals, contaminants, and additives in a variety of operating liquids, including fuels, coolants, lubricating oils, process water, and more.
Within 30 seconds, up to 32 elements can be measured fully automatically. For the majority of elements, eraoil's high-end CMOS detector and automatic background correction enable a sub-ppm detection limit (LOD).

Standards
Smallest Footprint with Built-In PC
Even in the smallest on-site testing labs, eraoil's distinctive standalone design provides a robust all-in-one package for operation. It has a PC and a built-in 10" color touchscreen. eraoil is even equipped with an automatic ventilation system and an electrode sharpener.
eraoil is incredibly user-friendly, even for novice users. The automated measuring process is ideal for on-site inspection because it only requires a few easy steps: Simply press the start button after filling the sample cup and shutting the door. The concentration of the element is instantly available.

High-Precision Oil and Fuel Analysis
eraoil complies completely with ASTM D6728 (fuel) and D6595 (oil). The ASTM D6595 standard uses rotating disc electrode optical emission spectrometry to detect wear metals and impurities in used hydraulic fluids and lubricating oils.
ASTM D6728 is the preferred standard for identifying impurities in diesel and gas turbine fuel. With the help of a unique Low Detection Fuel Module, finished fuels can be protected against trace contamination by detecting elements like potassium, lithium, sodium, and vanadium at LOD levels as low as 0.1 ppm.

Applications for the RDE- OES Spectrometer eraoil
The foundation of in-service oil analysis is multi-elemental analysis. eraoil is therefore the ideal tool for wear metal analysis of lubricants from gearboxes, hydraulic systems, engines, and transmissions.
The operation of any commercial vehicle or machinery in an industrial setting benefits greatly from the quick and simple elemental analysis. For additional uses like coolants, metal working fluids, or any other process fluid, this solution also clearly adds value.
