FAST™ OnBoard marine lubricant analysis kit

portable marine lubricant analysis service

FAST™ Onboard, the portable solution for marine lubricant analysis

For vessel operators, reducing operating and maintenance costs is a top priority. Avoiding unnecessary downtime is achievable through regular, on-board testing with FAST™ OnBoard. By detecting changes in the chemical and physical properties of fuels and lubricants early, ship engineers can take immediate corrective action, helping to prevent costly failures and enabling efficient, planned maintenance.

The FAST™ OnBoard marine oil analysis kit from Chevron Marine Lubricants provides both new and experienced condition monitoring practitioners with a compact, portable, and easy-to-use solution. This advanced marine lubricant analysis kit enables quick and accurate tracking of oil performance across essential equipment aboard vessels.

Why should you use equipment monitoring systems?

Identifies the earliest onset of change in the condition of your asset
Allows engineers to take immediate action depending on results
Enables identification and use of correct grades and types of oil
Encourages a monitoring culture on-board vessels

Regular marine oil analysis of critical operating equipment leads to cost savings and improved asset performance. Help optimise your fleet’s operations with FAST™ OnBoard.

multi-parameter test features

Water
The supplied water test cell, with its easy-to-read digital display, provides instructions and results at various concentrations from 200–10,000 ppm, 0–10%.Base

Number
Utilising the same reaction cell used for water, the FAST OnBoard Kit reports the used BN value for oils up to 150BN.

Insolubles
Chromatography papers easily display the soot/carbon build-up in the system. Increased viscosity, poor oil dispersancy or blocked filters could be the cause.

Viscosity Comparator
Recognised as one of the most important oil characteristics, the Viscostick provides a direct comparison of a used oil viscosity against a sample of the new oil, helping to identify fuel dilution, oxidation, emulsification issues.

Salt Water Determination
A simple colour change pad easily indicates Sodium Chloride contamination from seawater.
