There are many types of hydraulic system contaminates and levels of failure that can hinder the equipment performance. All hydraulic equipment will face wear and tear and even unexpected failures can occur. To prevent disastrous and expensive repairs, enabling a preventative maintenance program can minimize these losses. The best way to stay ahead of this,…
DetailsFind and Repair Hydraulic System Leaks with Fluorescent Leak Detection Spectroline Editorial Feature Published by Fluid Power Journal Fluorescent leak detection can help save time on hydraulic hose repair. Spectroline’s feature article published by Fluid Power Journal highlights the importance of finding leaks in hydraulic systems. The article discusses types of leaks, leaking fluid costs,…
DetailsFind Hydraulic Fluid Leaks Quickly and Accurately Every year, millions of gallons of hydraulic fluid are lost – leading to contaminated work areas and cost overruns. Hydraulic equipment cannot operate correctly if fluid levels are low and are not meeting manufacturers’ specifications. If hydraulic leaks persist, equipment will be at risk of mechanical failure. This inevitability…
DetailsWhat’s the real cost of leaking hydraulic fluid? The cost of lost operational fluid can rise into tens of thousands of dollars. Fluid-based systems quickly breakdown, overheat, and fail when there isn’t enough vital, operational fluid. Think about it. When your equipment is stuck in the repair shop, it’s costing you thousands in lost operating revenue. That net revenue includes wages, permits, repair costs, lost working hours, reduced equipment service life – everything.
DetailsOPK-40GS/E Kit Helps Avoid Expensive Repairs Most refrigerant leaks are only discovered when there’s a problem with your AC&R unit. If you could stop leaks before they became an issue, wouldn’t you? You can avoid expensive repairs by properly caring for your unit and putting in place a preventative maintenance plan. Stop refrigerant leaks with the OPK-40GS/E kit…
DetailsKnow What Works Fluorescent dyes provide the fastest and most accurate leak detection method for AC/R systems. When added to a suspect system, the escaping fluorescent dye exits all leak areas. Exposing the system to violet light causes the dye to fluoresce brightly. Very small leaks can be detected at a distance and technicians can…
DetailsGlows Bright Even in the Dirtiest Fluids The Spectroline OIL-GLO® and WATER-GLO® series ultraviolet fluorescent dyes are designed to detect leaks in all circulating fluid systems. Find leaks fast in fuel, synthetic, lubricant, petroleum, water, and water/glycol-based systems. Leak Detection Made Simple Just add a small amount of uv dye to the system and…
DetailsContamination Problems Particulate and water contamination can affect the physical and chemical properties of hydraulic fluid. The alteration of these properties – which are critical to the longevity of your hydraulic equipment – will make your equipment run inefficiently, hurting performance and increasing the risk of breakdown. Hydraulic fluids have specially crafted properties…
DetailsSpectronics Corporation and ChemPoint.com EMEA BV are announcing the beginning of a strategic partnership for distribution of their SPECTROLINE WATER-GLO®, the company’s premier fluorescent leak detection dye for water/water-glycol based systems. The terms of the agreement grant ChemPoint the exclusive right to distribute and market WATER-GLO in Europe, the Middle-East and Africa.
DetailsPreventive Maintenance for Hydraulic Equipment Preventive maintenance is a proactive equipment and system facilities management strategy. It operates on cost/benefit premise of creating a calendar of regularly scheduled testing and upkeep Typically, testing and maintenance are performed while equipment and systems are still in good working condition. This calendar set up can be based…
