Tan Delta Systems Limited is a global leader in the development and supply of advanced oil condition monitoring technologies, products and systems.
Based in Sheffield, United Kingdom, our products are trusted by the world's leading industrial and commercial companies to monitor oil condition in real time across a broad variety of applications. Our products help them optimise equipment productivity, reduce operating costs, thereby remaining competitive in a global economy.
Tan Delta are experts in oil condition monitoring. Years of continuous technology and product development coupled with hundreds of accumulated man years of field experience with customers endows us with a unique knowledge base. This unique capability is deployed on a daily basis for the benefit of our customers working in a wide variety of industries and applications.
Tan Delta expertise allows customers to enjoy the significant benefits of oil condition monitoring.
Continuous development keeps our customers competitive through leading edge oil condition monitoring solutions that reduce costs and increase productivity.
Our advanced sensing and analytics technologies define why our products are the choice of the world’s leading equipment manufacturers and operators. The combination of years of experience and relentless core technology innovation and development result in our sensors having exceptional oil quality monitoring characteristics unmatched by other sensors.
Our core FSH™ technology sits at the heart of our company and products, and differentiates Tan Delta sensors in terms of oil condition monitoring performance. FSH™ technology enables our sensors to be configured for any oil type in any application, to detect any change in oil condition in real-time with complete accuracy and reliability every second.
Our technology detects any change in oil condition due to contamination and wear. This includes, and is not limited to, water, particles, acid, fuel, viscosity, and TBN. And so, unlike any other sensor, nothing is missed, and you enjoy complete peace of mind knowing that whatever causes the condition change, Tan Delta will detect, measure and report accordingly; in real-time.
The sensor outputs data in a variety of formats which make integration on the equipment and into existing telematics system straight forward. If using a Tan Delta display system we provide real-time oil condition as a single statement on a scale of 1200 to 0 (Tan Delta Number ‘TDN’), with clear alerts should there be an unexpected change in condition and provide future notice as to when maintenance is required.
As soon as you break the seal and pour your new oil out of its container, it's already beginning to change.
Overtime the condition of the oil is affected by many factors such as water, soot, acid and particles. As these factors are introduced be it through general wear or contamination they all reduce the effective performance of your oil reducing how efficiently it lubricates your equipment.
The Oil Quality Sensor (OQSx) can detect changes in your oil quality no matter what the cause, giving you a quick and simple way of ensuring your equipment is being properly protected by your oil. By using our patented method the Oil Quality Sensor (OQSx) is able to accurately monitor the condition of your oil.
Traditionally, dielectric sensors are used to measure the capacitance of the oil, which changes as the oil wears. As the Oil Quality Sensor (OQSx) measures both capacitance and conductance of the oil the increased sensitivity allows the sensor to detect the very early stages of deterioration or damage to the oil, allowing timely planning of any intervention that may be needed.
Another key benefit of the Oil Quality Sensor (OQSx) is the stability of the readings at different temperatures and will provide accurate readings in both hot and cold oil. Small and robust, the Oil Quality Sensor (OQSx) can be installed on any equipment, in any environment, and be configured to any oil type.
All Tan Delta products are engineered and quality manufactured for long term continuous operation in the harshest commercial and industrial environments. Each product is carefully engineered and tested to withstand the long term effects of extreme shock, vibration, heat, cold, thermal shock, electrical interference and many more factors.
Our uncompromising product engineering is complemented by aerospace standard quality manufacturing with 100% multi-point testing of each and every product. The result are products which our customers trust to deliver years of reliable service in any environment.
Technology defines why customers around the world choose Tan Delta. This is why we are continuously investing in the development of new technologies and products which will deliver even greater commercial benefits and opportunities to our customers in the future.
