Make Maintenance Decisions Based on Actual Oil Condition
Unlike traditional oil analysis, Tan Delta provides continuous, real-time information about the condition of your lubricating oil. This allows maintenance decisions to be based on the actual health of the oil and the equipment, rather than fixed service intervals or guesswork.
"Real-time oil condition monitoring allows maintenance to be based on the actual condition of the oil—not simply elapsed engine hours."

Buying a Tan Delta sensor is only one part of a successful oil condition monitoring programme.
Selecting the correct sensor, installing it in the optimum location, understanding the data and using that information to improve maintenance decisions all require practical experience.
Filter Solutions has been supplying and supporting Tan Delta systems for almost twenty years, working with customers across a wide range of industrial applications including generators, plant equipment and heavy-duty diesel engines.
Why Experience Matters
Nearly twenty years of practical experience has shown us that successful oil condition monitoring depends on much more than simply installing a sensor.
Correct Sensor Position Matters
The quality of the information depends on where the sensor is installed. Choosing the correct location ensures the sensor measures the true condition of the lubricating oil rather than localised oil conditions within the system.
Data is Only Valuable if You Use It
Continuous oil condition monitoring provides valuable information, but the greatest benefits come from acting on that information. We help customers understand the trends and use them to improve maintenance planning and reduce unnecessary downtime.
Every Application is Different
Generator engines, hydraulic systems, gearboxes and compressors all have different operating characteristics. Selecting the correct monitoring solution depends on understanding the equipment as well as the oil.
Support Beyond Installation
Our relationship with customers doesn't end when the sensor is fitted. We continue to provide technical guidance to help customers get the greatest value from their investment in condition-based maintenance.
From Scheduled Maintenance to Condition-Based Maintenance
Traditionally, maintenance schedules have relied on fixed service intervals or periodic oil sampling. While these methods have their place, they cannot provide continuous information about the changing condition of the lubricating oil. Tan Delta complements existing maintenance practices by providing real-time data that helps maintenance teams make better-informed decisions.
1. Scheduled Maintenance
Fixed service intervals based on operating hours.
2. Oil Sampling
Periodic laboratory analysis provides a snapshot in time.
3. Real-Time Monitoring
Continuous information about the actual condition of the oil.
4. Better Maintenance Decisions
More informed servicing, fewer unnecessary oil changes and improved reliability.
Typical Applications
Standby Power
Prime Power
CHP & Biogas
Construction Equipment
Plant Hire
Industrial Engines
Proven Benefits
Increase Asset Life
Detect changing oil condition before it contributes to costly component wear.
Improve Engine Reliability
Monitor lubricant health continuously to support reliable equipment operation.
Optimise Oil Change Intervals
Base oil changes on actual oil condition instead of fixed operating hours.
Reduce Unplanned Downtime
Earlier intervention helps reduce unexpected failures and improve maintenance planning.
