Applications
- Gearboxes
- Engines
- Coolant
- Hydraulic Systems
- Transformer
Requirements
Requirements are industry specific and we will advise you what we need to be of service to you when we schedule your survey.
Timeline
Sampling intervals are dependent on the equipment, industry and service intervals.
Reporting
Upon completion, we furnish the client with a comprehensive report of our observations and our risk mitigating recommendations.
Oil analysis is another key discipline in any comprehensive predictive maintenance regime. It promotes the reliability and life span of all lubricated machinery. Oil analysis is often likened to human blood tests, as it shares a similar diagnostic philosophy.
There are five main factors in maintaining oil lubrication standards:
- Clean Oil
- Dry Oil
- Oil with the correct properties
- Contamination control
- Wear debris monitoring
Wear-debris analysis is used to identify the root cause of abnormal conditions. It has an impact on oil viscosity, which is one of the most important properties of oil. Ineffective lubrication (too much or too little) of any mechanical component leads to excessive wear, which in turn causes breakages and unplanned stoppages.
It is important to ensure that samples are always taken at the same sample point and that all the correct collection protocols are followed. It is of the utmost importance that the person taking the sample had the required training to prevent sample contamination at all costs.
Analysis performed on the following:
- Conveyor gearboxes.
- Engines.
- Final drives.
- Coolant tanks.
- Hydraulic systems.
- Transmissions.
- Diffs.
- Fuel tanks.
- Transformers.
- Grease (bearings).
