Insulating oil kinematic viscosity tester: an essential tool for monitoring transformer health
Regular inspection of insulating oil is critical to maintaining the efficiency and safety of power transformers. The kinematic viscosity of transformer oil serves as a key indicator of its condition, directly affecting cooling performance and dielectric strength. Wuhan Jinhao Shipte fully recognises the importance of accurate viscosity measurement in preventing transformer failures and optimising maintenance plans.
Our insulating oil kinematic viscosity tester is specifically designed for power utilities and industrial facilities, offering reliable and easy-to-use analytical capabilities. This instrument allows operators to efficiently assess oil quality, supporting proactive maintenance strategies. By integrating advanced measurement technology, the tester provides stable and reliable results, facilitating early detection of potential problems
Key advantages: Accuracy and efficiency in all tests
Unlike manual viscosity testing (which relies on heavy glass viscometers and human time), the Goldhome Hipot Insulating Oil Kinematic Viscosity Tester offers revolutionary benefits:
- Laboratory-grade precision: Compliant with international standards, including GB/T 265, ASTM D445, and IEC 60296, with measurement errors ≤±1%, ensuring reliable results for critical decision-making.
- Fully automated operation: Users only need to inject 5–10 mL of oil; the tester automatically controls the temperature (30 °C/40 °C/50 °C, adjustable), starts the time measurement, and calculates the viscosity value. No manual monitoring or calculations are required.
- Fast results: What used to take more than 30 minutes with manual methods is now completed in 10 to 15 minutes, cutting testing time in half and increasing laboratory productivity.
- User-friendly design: A 5-inch colour touchscreen displays real-time data (temperature, viscosity, test status) and stores up to 1,000 historical records. Results can be printed directly or exported via USB for integration into reports.
Built for durability and versatility
The Goldhom Hipot Tester is designed to operate in a variety of industrial environments:
- Stable temperature control: uses a precision heating system with temperature fluctuations of ±0.1 °C, eliminating temperature-related errors (a common problem in manual testing).
- Corrosion-resistant components: The oil sample chamber and internal pipes are made of stainless steel and borosilicate glass, ensuring compatibility with all types of insulating oils and a long service life.
- Portable option: A compact and lightweight model (under 15 kg) is available for on-site testing at remote substations or power stations, eliminating the need to transport oil samples to laboratories.
With over 20 years of experience in developing oil analysis equipment, Goldhome Hipot guarantees that its insulating oil kinematic viscosity meter meets the same high standards as its award-winning product range. The tester is CE certified for global markets and backed by the company's 24/7 technical support, which includes on-site calibration and operator training.
