Oil Condition Monitoring
To avoid acid corrosion inside a Accuracy: Typically +/- 5 % of fresh oil BN

process. Reagents: non hazardous
Normally the BN of an engine lube oil

decreases with the running hours. In

oil which has a much higher BN. This
Dimensions: Ø 68 mm x 84 mm
leads to a steep increase of the BN value

The CMT BoB BN Test Kit allows to
test the base number of cylinder oils OTS-CT-13002:
blended on board. It will report the BN Spare BN TouchCell
of the blend as well as the mixing ratio.
Furthermore the BOB BN Cell allows to OTS-CT-13027:
