Oil Analysis as the term is often used means the testing of and reporting back on in-use lubricating oil from a mechanical system. Its effectiveness stems from the oil’s remarkable property of “mirror imaging” the system when accurately tested and interpreted. It will tell one exactly what is going on within the system.
Oil Science Laboratory has reliably performed this service for many years. Satisfied customer companies who depend on transportation for their livelihoods are numerous. Our test program of in-use lubricant includes:
These accurately determine wear; oil efficiency; contaminants; and as importantly, system conditions which are causing the measured result in the sample. We compare test results to the established database for the given system. This allows accurate feedback and assessment to be provided to the manager. He or she then can make the best decisions. And as necessary, to take timely, effective action to correct problems: when they’re small!
