GRANTS PASS, Oregon -- Hach Ultra has introduced the portable HIAC GlyCount, which measures, stores, and reports glycol fluid cleanliness in a fraction of the time needed for traditional analysis methods in offshore and subsea petroleum production.
The new portable instrument analyzes glycol fluids and coolants in bottle sampling or on-line modes. True particle counting analysis results are delivered in less than 20% of the time needed for traditional analysis practices, according to Hach Ultra.
With a concentration limit of 30,000 particles/mL, the HIAC GlyCount monitors the dirtiest glycol fluids. Superior optics and design provide eight channels for reporting particle counting data. Temperature measurement is also available for assessing fluid conditions.
The HIAC GlyCount features a wide array of reporting formats, including NAS 1638, SAE AS 4059, and ISO 4406. It can be calibrated with PSL spheres in water or ISO-MTD in glycol. The instrument contains a buffer for storing 500 analysis results. A rugged carrying case is also included.
