Global and U.S. Total Base Number (TBN) Testers Market Report, Published by QY Research.
Total Base Number (TBN) Testers are analytical instruments designed to measure the alkaline reserve in lubricating oils and fuels, indicating their ability to neutralize acidic contaminants and prevent corrosion. The test determines the total base number-expressed in milligrams of KOH per gram of oil-using potentiometric titration, colorimetric analysis, or electrochemical sensing methods. These testers are essential for monitoring the condition of engine oils, marine lubricants, turbine oils, and hydraulic fluids, ensuring timely oil replacement and maintaining engine performance. Compact benchtop and portable TBN testers provide rapid, accurate, and repeatable measurements, often integrating digital microcontrollers, automatic titrators, and data logging interfaces for laboratory and field applications.https://www.qyresearch.com/reports/5277170/total-base-number--tbn--testers
