Oil characteristic sensors can directly and simultaneously measure the dynamic viscosity, density, dielectric constant, resistance (Rp), and temperature of oil. This sensor is based on patented frequency modulation fork technology, monitoring various physical characteristics, enabling the system to determine the quality, status, and pollutant content of fluids such as engine oil, transmission oil, hydraulic oil, and gear oil. Its multi parameter analysis capability can improve fluid characteristic algorithms. It can perform online and continuous monitoring of various OEM and aftermarket installed fluids, including process pipelines and high-pressure high flow conduits (such as engine oil passages). The application scope covers road and off road vehicles, compressors, industrial equipment, and turbines. The universal digital protocol based on CAN J1939 provides an easy to connect main controller interface. A simple four pin connector can achieve an economical and efficient installation solution.
