OIL ANALYSIS

Oil Analysis evaluates lubricant condition, wear generation, and contamination sources in engines, gearboxes, compressors, and hydraulic systems. It is a high-value predictive tool because the lubricant carries measurable evidence of internal machine degradation long before catastrophic failure.

How the analysis is performed

Representative samples are collected under controlled procedures and submitted to laboratory tests such as viscosity, oxidation, water content, particle count, and elemental spectroscopy. Results are interpreted against baseline data and operating context to classify failure modes and lubrication risk.

Operational benefits for reliability programs

The output supports data-driven maintenance decisions, optimizes oil-change intervals, and prevents secondary damage caused by contamination or inadequate lubricant performance.

• Viscosity and additive depletion monitoring
• Wear-metal trend analysis (Fe, Cu, Al, Cr and others)
• Contamination detection: water, dust, fuel, and coolant ingress
• ISO cleanliness classification for hydraulic circuits
• Lubrication interval optimization based on condition
• Failure-mode investigation with technical recommendations
