Condition Monitoring

Parker’s Kittiwake latest generation of metal wear debris sensors. Provides unbeatable detection performance for both ferrous and
non-ferrous metals. It is known in the market that particles result from wear processes in hydraulic and lubrication systems.
It is imperative to know, not just the number of particles which pass through your system, but also the size and metallic composition. The latest
generation of our metal wear debris sensors goes beyond normal protection systems, offering real-time monitoring of the contamination in the system.
This allows system users or service organizations to take immediate action on the first indication of change, thereby preventing all types of failures to system components.

The Fluid Condition Sensor (FCS) is a diagnostic tool for monitoring fuel dilution, soot ingress & oil contamination issues that can lead to engine damage.
The FCS (Fluid Condition Sensor) from Parker Kittiwake is a new, multi-parameter sensor and alert system for monitoring oil quality, moisture, temperature and pressure. By tracking changes in oil electrical conductivity, FCS can detect fuel dilution – a common problem in 4-stroke diesel engines. FCS also closely correlates to soot (insolubles) ingress by tracking changes in relative permittivity. When combined with the Parker Kittiwake FCS Alert, engine operators have a continuous monitoring tool to help guard against engine failure.
Part Number: FCS3111

The Cold Corrosion Test Kit (CCTK) provides an accurate measurement of corrosive iron content in cylinder liner oil.
Cylinder lubrication oil in large, 2-stroke marine diesel engines has to contend with high temperatures and acidic products formed during the combustion of sulphur-rich bunker oils. Parker Kittiwake’s Cold Corrosion.

Test Kit is a quick, easy to use chemical test that provides an accurate measure of the parts per million (PPM) value of Fe2+ and Fe3+ compounds in used scrape down oil. Knowing the specific PPM of corroded iron allows informed decisions to be made in adjustments to feed rates and the Base Number (BN) of the oil used.
Part Number: FG-K19763-KW

The Ferrous Wear Meter (FWM) is an advanced instrument for measuring the abrasive iron content in oil samples, the FWM+ now includes std Grease Fe measurement.
Parker Kittiwake’s Ferrous Wear Meter is an easyto-use instrument for accurately testing and analysing oil and grease samples on-board or in remote locations where full laboratory analysis is not possible. In scrapedown cylinder oil, the FWM can isolate the abrasive iron content from the corrosive iron, thereby providing an indication of mechanical wear – an early indicator of possible mechanical failure. When combined with the Cold Corrosion Test Kit, engineers can separate the causes of damage and gain vital insight into engine health and avoid possible catastrophic damage.
Part Number: FG-K30258-KW

The DIGICell is the essential device for Water in Oil and BN (Base Number) testing – now tests up to BN150!
Parker Kittiwake’s DIGICell oil test kit range provides a complete set of economically-priced equipment with a level of accuracy suited to routine analysis. With an easy to read digital display providing instructions and results, a five year (10,000 tests) battery life and built-in memory for recording previous test results, the DIGICell has become a favoured test method worldwide for on-site and on-board testing. Test cells are available for either Water in Oil or Base Number (BN). Alternatively, a DIGI Combined Test Cell is available that performs both test parameters in a single cell.
Part Number: FG-K1-110-KW

LinerSCAN is the world’s first real-time alarm system for cylinder liner wear, providing early warning against engine damage.
Parker Kittiwake’s LinerSCAN is designed to remove the uncertainty of cylinder liner damage resulting from low fuel quality, slow steaming, low sulphur levels, lower oil feed rates and cylinder oil formulation changes.
Trials have shown that LinerSCAN highlights the first signs of damage earlier than other systems and enables safe reduction of the lubricant feed
rate. LinerSCAN is a fully automated system and will help save money by optimising the lubricant feed rate, reducing your maintenance loads and by helping you prevent engine damage. Advances in electronic manufacturing technology have reduced the cost of this product.

The Cat Fines Test Kit detects catalytic fines to help prevent irreparable damage of fuel pumps, injectors, piston rings and liners.
The Cat Fines Test Kit from Parker Kittiwake is a chemical bottle test which determines the level of cat fines present in a representative sample of fuel oil, allowing the user to identify potentially damaging components before they enter the system. In minutes, this easy-to-use onboard test identifies the presence of abrasive silicon and aluminium catalytic fines, which can become embedded into engine components and cause irreversible damage if left untreated. The test kit can be used in conjunction with both laboratory testing and a range of other on-board condition monitoring tools, ensuring that operators have accurate data to safeguard against potentially
catastrophic damage. (*Patent application pending – beware of nonauthorised copies.)
Part Number: FG-K30566-KW

The Density Meter provides an on-site fuel analysis lab to help protect assets, improve productivity and increase up-time.
The Density Meter from Parker Kittiwake is suitable for both distillate and residual fuel oils. Measuring the density of fuel using hydrometers, the Density Meter can be used to confirm the quantity and grade of fuel delivered. Density is calculated electronically, providing fast, accurate results and estimating the combustion performance (CCAI) and correct viscosity incP to cSt calculations.
Part Number: FG-K1-300-KW

The Compatibility Tester identifies possible stability problems before blending two fuels, indicating the effectiveness of stability additives.
The Parker Kittiwake Compatibility Tester is possibly the most useful tool available for testing fuel oil compatibility and blends. The kit provides a quick tool for engineers faced with the necessity to mix or blend residual fuel oil or wishing to establish the stability of a new bunker delivery. The Compatibility Tester can be purchased as a stand-alone kit supplied in its own case, or as part of a more extensive suite of testing equipment in the Fuel and Lubricant Cabinet.
Part Number: FG-K1-500-KW
