FluidInspectIR® Inline — PLUS, ULTRA, HUB and ATEX variants
Product range
Four variants. One platform.

The FluidInspectIR® Inline range covers entry-level condition monitoring through to full multi-point system integration. All variants use the same MIR, OPC & Viscosity measurement platform.

FluidInspectIR® Inline
PLUS
Single-point inline monitoring
FluidInspectIR® PLUS
Entry / Standard

The FluidInspectIR® PLUS is the standard single-point inline oil condition monitor. Designed for straightforward installation on individual assets, it delivers continuous real-time analysis of all key lubricant parameters via MODBUS, PROFIBUS or LTE output.

ATEX
Certified for hazardous areas
FluidInspectIR® ATEX — explosion-proof oil condition monitor
ATEX / IECEx

The FluidInspectIR® ATEX system is purpose-built for deployment in explosive atmospheres — oil refineries, offshore platforms, chemical plants, and other classified hazardous areas. Certified to ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 21, it delivers the same continuous MIR oil condition monitoring as the ULTRA platform, packaged in an intrinsically safe, explosion-proof enclosure.

What it measures
8+ parameters, simultaneously

Every FluidInspectIR® Inline unit measures multiple oil condition parameters in a single measurement cycle — no multiple sensors, no multiple sample points.

💧

Water / Moisture

Detects water ingress and moisture build-up before emulsification or corrosion occurs.

🌡️

Viscosity

Continuous viscosity monitoring detects thinning from contamination or thermal degradation.

⚗️

Oxidation

Tracks oxidation build-up to predict remaining oil life and optimise drain intervals.

💨

Sulphation

Monitors sulphation in gas and diesel engines — early warning of H₂S attack or combustion issues.

🧪

TAN / TBN

Total Acid and Base Number monitoring for additive depletion and contamination detection.

Soot / Carbon

Real-time soot loading measurement in diesel and gas engine oils. Predicts filter and drain requirements.

🔧

Additive Concentration

Tracks additive depletion and top-up requirements in metalworking, rolling, and process fluids.

📊

Fuel Dilution / Contamination

Detects fuel dilution, coolant ingress, and cross-contamination events before damage occurs.

Connectivity
