Grease Thief PocketLabTM

The PocketLab (TM) is the field solution for testing lubricating greases.  There are three versions available.

PocketLab 1.1 contains two instruments, the FerroQ for wear detection, and the GT Colorimeter for color spectral analysis at fixed pathlength.  Together they provide insight into steel bearing and gear surface wear quantity, degradation of greases, contamination of greases, and mixing.

PocketLab 2.1 adds a third instrument, the GTA Mini-1.1, which creates a thin-film deposition of the grease sample from a Grease Thief Sampler and the Die Extrusion method, and provides comparison feedback on the consistency changes of the grease relative to new grease.  The thin-film grease layer is presented in substrate sections, each holding ~0.25g grease for testing in RULER, elemental spectrometers, FTIR, and Analytical Ferrography.

PocketLab 3.1 (coming Soon!) will automate the GTA-Mini 1.1 function and include a load cell sensor for quantification of consistency changes by Die Extrusion method.
