Oil Analysis

Often referred to as the life blood of equipment, oil can provide a great deal of information on the condition of equipment, as well as a leading indicator of what the condition of the machine could be if action is not taken.  Oil Analysis can be an important tool to deploy in your journey to Reliability Excellence and Maintenance Excellence

Why?

Is there contamination? Has the chemistry of the oil been compromised? Is there wear debris present? These are all questions that can be answered with Oil Analysis. Using over 120 years of combined experience, our Oil Analysis program has been developed to address many key issues that have previously been lacking in industry. Our approach to ensuring that all failure modes are covered through appropriate technologies allows for a well-documented approach to not only Oil Analysis but to overall Reliability Centered Lubrication (RCL). Common failure modes that Oil Analysis can detect:

  • Incorrect lubricant use/selection
  • Over extended oil drains
  • Component Fatigue
  • Sliding Wear
  • Abrasive Wear
  • External Contamination
  • Poor Handling/Sampling Practices
  • Inadequate Contamination Control Measures
