PODS+

PODS+

The HIAC Portable Oil Diagnostic System (PODS+) provides proactive and predictive maintenance information instantly. Sample low- or high viscosity fluids and report data to ISO 4406, NAS 1638, NAVAIR, GOST, or SAE AS4059 reporting standards.

With an integrated internal pump eliminating the need for CO2 cartridges, the HIAC PODS+ is highly portable with improved bubble degassing capabilities for virtually unlimited field sampling. The PODS+ is easy to use- saves operator time and gives quick results.

  • Self-diagnostic alerts for: Sensor Contamination, Sensor Blockage, In need of Service
  • Sample recipe wizard
  • Paperless workflow

Detecting Moisture in Hydraulic Fluid, Oil and Fuels

Monitoring the amount of moisture in petroleum based fluids before 100% saturation occurs will reduce degradation and will increase the life and performance of equipment components. Advancements in technology allowed Beckman Coulter to add a moisture sensor to our HIAC PODS+ Portable Liquid Particle Counters. One instrument, one sample, one button, relative humidity percentage, particle count analysis; all in under 60 seconds. Free water is the real issue and it is imperative that you know when free water exists in your fluid. Reduce oxidation and corrosion, extend system up-time by detecting moisture in petroleum based systems.
