Pure quality starts with precise values

Reliable oil vapour measurement

Oil vapours are among the most critical contaminants in compressed air. They compromise compliance with purity classes, impair the performance of activated carbon filters and catalysts and cause deposits to form in machinery. Therefore, precise oil vapour measurement is essential to ensure long-term product quality, process reliability and equipment protection.

The METPOINT OCV compact enables you to reliably monitor your compressed air and meet the stringent requirements of Class 1 according to ISO 8573-1.

Danger of oil contamination in compressed air

Why accurate oil vapor measurement is crucial?

Ensuring air quality and product purity

Ensure product safety: Protect against contamination in sensitive industries
Reliably comply with standards: Achieve ISO 8573-1 purity classes for oil-free compressed air
Maintain quality in the long term: Minimize product defects and rejects to increase overall quality
Protect systems and processes: Prevent oil vapour deposits in pipes, machines and production environments
Easy integration into superordinate systems via RS485/Modbus

Sustainable reliability for equipment and processes

Longer service life and retention time of components: Oil vapours can damage filters, valves and sensors, so real-time measurements can help prevent premature wear
Cost reduction: Early detection of contamination can reduce maintenance and repair costs
Increase production reliability: Early detection of contamination through continuous monitoring reduces the risk of machine failure and unplanned downtime
Ensure efficiency: Compressed air systems must be both reliable and stable. They are a popular choice for industries with high-quality requirements. Stable compressed air systems guarantee reliable processes and reduce energy and material consumption

Compliance and certification security

Ensure compliance: Meet legal requirements and industry-specific purity standards to avoid penalties and facilitate certification; Helps meet legal requirements and industry-specific air purity standards
Strengthen trust by providing documented evidence to increase transparency for customers and authorities
Maintain competitiveness with long-term security through tried-and-tested compressed air purity
Increase production reliability by detecting contamination early to reduce downtime
