Reply to "Can I rely on dielectric constant?"

Sorry guys have been out for a few months....My research on the dielectric constant got cut short due to funding from the company I work for. Up until that point I was able to make a correlation between dielectric, moisture, temperature and viscosity. I think the issue with most dielectric testers out in the world today are that they can/do not compensate for temperature and thus viscosity. Temperature can do some very strange things to the dielectic readings of oil. When funding picks back up I will then start the correlation between dielectric and TAN, TBN, and wear particles. It is my belief that the oil condition can be scrutinized with those five properties or tests. (TBN, TAN, wear particles, visosity, and moisture content)
