(CHELMSFORD, MA – March 5, 2015) Spectro Scientific, a leading developer and manufacturer of analytical tools and software for industrial fluids analysis, announces the addition of a comprehensive water measurement solution for its FluidScan® analyzer.  The FluidScan employs patent pending technology, providing a practical alternative to traditional Karl Fisher titration for use outside of laboratories.

This new FluidScan capability is well-suited for industrial environments like power generation plants where reliable water measurement in turbine oil is critical. Severe water contamination can cause changes in the oil’s viscosity, accelerated oxidation, depletion of additives, and decreased bearing life.

Bob Wopperer, Vice President Business Development said, “FluidScan’s comprehensive water measurement capability is another example of Spectro Scientific’s ongoing effort to accelerate and simplify the entire fluid testing process. We deliver testing capability to the field, where FluidScan’s real-time, actionable results produce large and continued savings of maintenance and downtime costs.”
