Why Monitor Water Content?

Water in Oil Causes

  • • Accelerated oil oxidation and sludge formation
  • • Additive depletion (rust inhibitors, antioxidants)
  • • Increased wear and corrosion on machinery
  • • Reduced lubricating film strength

Benefits of YTS-W-1

  • • Early detection prevents catastrophic failure
  • • Extend oil drain intervals — save costs
  • • Reduce waste oil and carbon footprint
  • • Predictive maintenance instead of reactive

Note on Accuracy

Measurement accuracy is the average value of multiple measurements in a static test in a laboratory environment. There may be deviations under field conditions due to the influence of the external environment.
