Agilent and Grabner Instruments Provide Innovative Mobile Testing Solution for the Petroleum Industry
Business Wire 18-Jul-2018 11:00 AM
Agilent
Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) announces an equipment manufacturing
agreement with Grabner
Instruments, a subsidiary of AMETEK, Inc. The agreement is focused
on an innovative mobile testing solution for in-field analysis of
lubricating oils and greases.
Grabner Instruments, based in Austria, is well known for developing and
manufacturing automatic petroleum testing equipment. In this
partnership, Grabner will focus on lube and grease analysis, an area
that requires specific and specialized expertise in method development.
"We are very pleased to be working with a partner of the caliber of
Grabner to provide more specific tools that will meet the needs of the
in-field testing market," said Phil Binns, vice president and general
manager of Agilent's Spectroscopy and Vacuum Solutions Division.
"This new global agreement makes perfect sense for both organizations
and our customers," said Werner Müller-Veith, managing director of
Grabner. "By combining Agilent's proven mobile FTIR technology with
Grabner's test methods and global channel reach, we will be able to
offer rugged go-anywhere solutions that deliver the highest analytical
accuracy while being simple to use."
Based on Agilent's robust handheld FTIR systems, Grabner has developed
MINISCAN IR LOG, a highly versatile FTIR analyzer for monitoring the
condition of lubricating oils and greases at petroleum refineries. The
analyzer is capable of quickly and accurately measuring the levels of
water in oil—without using hazardous reagents.
Agilent's Dialpath sampling technology—a key factor to the
agreement—makes it easy to analyze viscous liquids (such as thick
greases and lubes), with the added ability to carry out in-field testing
of lubes and greases.
