Pcb Oil Test

Each pocket sized kit contains everything necessary to perform the test in less than 5 minutes.

Pcb oil test. Test kit pcb 50ppm transformer oil testing clor n oil. On site test kits for transformer oil. It is used in oil filled transformers some types of high voltage capacitors fluorescent lamp ballasts and some types of high voltage switches and circuit breakers its functions are to insulate suppress corona discharge and arcing and to serve as a coolant. At oil check we have the capacity to test oil from an aged transformer whether it be for maintenance.

Pcb analysis in oil transformers can be divided into two categories. This left both the city and the recycler open to potential enforcement under tsca and its implementing regulations. Dexsil s first pcb polychlorinated biphenyl test kit clor n oil 50 was introduced in 1983 and has become the standard for quick pcb screening of transformer oil in the field in addition to the original 50 ppm kit there are two other test options available. Designed to be used in the field clor n oil is a fast accurate method to test electrical insulating fluids for the presence of pcb.

20 ppm and 500 ppm. Originally used for their excellent electrical characteristics and not being flammable. Pocket sized for convenience. Test results available within 5 minutes.

Premeasured reagents are sealed in glass ampules for safe fast consistent and accurate. Transformers of known pcb content polychlorinated biphenyl over 50 ppm parts per million must be handled and disposed of in a manner that adheres to a strict code of federal regulations 4o cfr part 761. Transformer oil or insulating oil is an oil that is stable at high temperatures and has excellent electrical insulating properties. The used oil recycler picked up 600 gallons of contaminated oil 50 ppm and mixed it with non pcb oil resulting in 17 000 gallons of pcb contaminated oil that became subject to the tsca pcb disposal regulations.

Specific and non specific methods. L2000dx pcb chloride analyzer usepa sw 846 method 9078 for soil the l2000dx relies on the same basic chemistry as the clor n oil test kits however instead of a colorimetric reaction the l2000dx uses an ion specific electrode to quantify the contamination in the sample. Test suspect building material to determine pcb sources. Specific methods use gas chromatography with electron capture detection gc ecd.

Clor n oil is a fast accurate method to determine whether pcb is present in electrical insulating fluids. Sample analysis is available for transformer oils soils and surface wipes. Polychlorinated biphenyls and similarly related compounds were quickly found to be detrimental to the environment and over the years since have been phased out of use.
