Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for authenticating working fluids. The systems and methods include exposing at least a portion of a working fluid containing a UV-reactive chemical marker to light having wavelengths in the range of about 10-400 nm, thereby causing the chemical marker to generate a signal. The signal can be detected via a sensor system and compared to a reference signal that is associated with an authentic working fluid. An output may be generated to indicate whether the working fluid is the authentic working fluid.

Abstract: A working fluid monitoring system for monitoring a working fluid of a working fluid system of a piece of equipment. The working fluid monitoring system can include a housing member having a working fluid passage for receiving the working fluid therein and a sensor in operable communication with the working fluid within the working fluid passage of the housing member configured to monitor in situ the working fluid and output a sensor signal. The working fluid monitoring system can be quickly and conveniently retrofitted to existing machinery for in situ monitoring, detecting, testing, and/or validating of a working fluid, such as oil, hydraulic fluid, and the like.
