Take your oil condition analysis to the next level
with the Fluid.iO oil quality sensor for monitoring oil chemistry
With the FluidIX Lub-6 oil quality sensor you expand your oil condition monitoring to include the measurement of important chemical parameters. This allows you to detect signs of wear and contamination in the oil circuit at an early stage.
Oil condition analysis with Lub-6 – here's how it works!
The FluidIX Lub-6 oil quality sensor measures up to 6 important chemical parameters of your oil simultaneously, directly in the oil circuit.
Depending on the application and type of oil, the following measurements can be taken:
- Water contents
- Reciprocal oxidation
- Nitration
- Sulfation
- soot content
- Anti-wear additive
- ZDDP anti-wear additive
- EP/AW-Additive
- Amine antioxidant additive
- Oxidation
The measurements are recorded in real time, enabling continuous monitoring of the oil condition. You can view your measurements over time or export the sensor data for further use via the integrated web interface.
- AI-powered data analysis
Predictive Maintenance Platform for Lub-6
AI-powered data analysis and prediction of oil change intervals for your oil condition monitoring
Our Predictive Maintenance Platform lets you analyze the sensor data from your Lub-6 oil quality sensor. Get a prediction of the time remaining until your next maintenance interval. This allows you to optimize your maintenance processes and reduce unplanned downtime.

Typical applications for measurement technology for oil condition monitoring
Combined heat and power plants (CHP) Industrial gearboxes Hydraulic systems Marine engines & maritime applications Compressors
CHP (Combined Heat and Power) plants
The function of the oil is to lubricate, cool, and protect the engine and bearing components.
-
Oil condition monitoring for the assessment of oxidation and additive degradation
-
Oil temperature monitoring for detecting thermal overload
Industrial gears
Use of oils to reduce friction and wear between gears and bearings
-
Oil temperature monitoring for the detection of overload conditions
-

Oil condition monitoring for assessing oil quality during continuous operation
We already have many years of practical experience with lubricants in machines and systems.
Every machine and every oil is different. That's why we offer you customized sensor solutions for your industry and application.
Lubricating oils in combined heat and power (CHP) plants in industrial applications are subjected to heavy stress. Constantly high temperatures, continuous operation, and the direct proximity to the combustion process put a strain on the oil. Continuous oil condition monitoring is particularly important here to ensure optimal operation and the longevity of the CHP engines. The oil ensures optimal lubrication, cooling, cleaning, and neutralization at all times.
Lubricants in CHP (combined heat and power) plants
- Sentron LD 5000 / 8000
- Delvac XHP extra 10W40
- Fuchs Titan Ganymet plus
- Shell Mysella S5 N40
Compressor oils operate under high pressure and high temperatures and are often in direct contact with the pumped medium. This makes them particularly susceptible to thermal degradation, oxidation, and chemical interactions with gases or process media. Even a slight change in oil viscosity or chemistry directly affects the efficiency, sealing performance, and operational reliability of the compressor.
Oils and lubricants in compressed air compressors
- Klüber Summit TM 15
- Klüber Summit SH 46
- Sigma Fluid G-680
- Sigma Fluid S-570
In other industrial applications – such as gearboxes and hydraulic systems or special machines – oils are not standardized, but specifically designed for the respective machine, load and environment.
Oils for other special industrial applications
These oils differ greatly in terms of:
- Base oil types
- Additive packages
- permissible temperature and load windows
We have already gained experience with numerous other oils in industrial applications. Contact us if you have any questions about your specific oil or application!
