CPWplus to monitor engine performance

Oil is an essential part of any engine, making everything work smoothly. But as the engine runs, oil tends to break down and dissipate. If oil consumption is not precisely measured and tracked, an automotive engine can seize up or perform below standards. One way to measure engine performance is by using an oil consumption test. This test removes all the oil from the engine and its system, then weighs out an initial quantity of oil. That oil is added to the engine and the engine is run for a period of time. After the test, the remaining oil is drained and weighed again to measure consumption. The results show mechanics and engineers the efficiency of the system.

Mechanics throughout the United States and Canada use the CPWplus 15 for oil consumption testing because of its reliability and durability. The accuracy of the CPWplus 15 gives them precise results. The large stainless steel pan is easy to remove for cleaning and withstands heavy use. A remote indicator can be mounted on the wall or next to the scale and battery operation makes it a completely portable unit. When not in use, the CPWplus scale can be stored in an optional carry case to help protect it.

The CPWplus series offers a range of capacities and base configurations to suit a number of applications other than the automotive industry. Its features are designed for fast and accurate weighing. Color-coded keypads quickly identify the keys more frequently used, and an RS-232 interface connects to printers or computers, allowing the user to easily record and store results.
