Horiba Oil Content Analyzer OCMA-550

Horiba Oil Content Analyzer OCMA-550

The Horiba Oil Content Analyzer OCMA-550 is a bench-top analytical instrument that measures oil content using solvent extraction followed by non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) absorption. It is designed for reliable and repeatable oil analysis in water and on solid surfaces, supporting routine monitoring as well as regulatory and research activities.

The OCMA-550 features a user-friendly interface with a clear graphic LCD display and simplified measurement workflow, allowing operators to perform oil content analysis efficiently with minimal training. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for laboratory environments, while its robust optical system ensures stable long-term performance. The instrument supports digital data storage and transfer, improving traceability and reporting efficiency.
