Oil-vapour monitoring system METPOINT® OCV from BEKO now TÜV-certified

Process reliability through on-line measurement

In 2009, after intensive research and market-based experience, BEKO TECHNOLOGIES launched a newly-developed oil-vapour measuring device within the scope of the METPOINT measurement technology product range: METPOINT® OCV. This system has now been certified by TÜV Nord in accordance with the re-quirements of ISO 8573-1, classes 1 to 4.

“METPOINT® OCV is the first online system for the detection of the oil vapour content in compressed air worldwide, which can boast a certificate from an independent accredited institution”, says BEKO product manager Roland Dunker. “The process to certify the system took one year, in close co-operation with TÜV Nord. BEKO has every reason to be proud of this commendation, as it means safety for our customers and potential buyers through an internationally approved standard.” 

METPOINT® OCV:
Even “oil-free” components give no guarantee for “oil-free” compressed air because of contamination of the ambient air / intake air.  In most cases, a certain residual oil content  cannot be entirely avoided in standard applications. All the more precise monitoring of the oil vapour content, which is possible at any time, is important. In particular in critical production processes of the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, in food produc-tion and surface coating, the analysis and control of compressed-air quality  is a crucial factor. METPOINT® OCV offers constant monitoring down to the range of a thousandth mg/m3, network-compatible, with touch-screen display and 24 / 7 process reliability through online measurement.
