Abstract
Visual inspection of leaks is perhaps the simplest approach to condition monitoring and at a relatively low cost. The Spectroline leak detection system for oilbased fluids, for example, is a highly successful approach:
-
it uses a 20 ml fluorescent additive [Oil-Gloℳ] per 5 litre oil
-
the additive is UV light sensitive
-
it enables leaks to be detected using a portable 100 w inspection lamp
