Oil Analysis

Oil Analysis is defined as collecting and analyzing lubricant properties and internal contamination in order to determine machine condition. Oil analysis allows the user to determine what particulate or contaminants are present in the machine. The metal particles detected in the sample could be indicative of internal wear issue. The non-metal particles could suggest that water or other contaminants could be present, breaking down the lubrication properties. Oil analysis, when used with other predictive maintenance technologies can save the user a significant amount of time and money.
