Quality Monitoring Instruments (QMI), manufacturer of engine and atmospheric oil mist detection systems, has received Type Approval certification from classification society Lloyd’s Register for its engine oil mist detection system.
Having received ABS Type Approval in 2014, the LR certification follows the successful calibration testing of QMI’s Multiplex and Triplex products at Cardiff University’s gas turbine laboratory, the only facility in the U.K. capable of processing oil mist in a safe environment to test systems in accordance with the stringent IACS M67 protocol.
QMI Managing Director, Josh Smith said, “The IACS M67 rule specifies the parameters for crankcase oil mist detection equipment in diesel engines. They are exceptionally complex calibration tests so we are delighted to have received type approval from LR. The tests verify the functionality and effectiveness of our Multiplex and Triplex systems in detecting oil mist concentrations of between 0.05 and 2.0mg/l to an accuracy of ±10%.”
