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.
